The obvious reason that Pete would be late for everything is that there would be such much crime that he would get caught up in, but if someone really had those powers would they find that much crime which would keep them busy for ages?

Dont quite know how to break this to you.... Spider-Man isn't a documentary.

BlackC@t
Duh! roll eyes (sarcastic)

Spiderman RJ stick on topic and please don't clog the thread with spam.

I've never been to New York, and it's interesting that none of you have answered my question. Is there a lot of crime in NY that you could find?

I've been to New York City, it's not a living 'hell' as some people make it out to be. Yes, like all big cities, it has its neighborhoods where crime is a pretty regular occurance, it just seems like it has a lot of crime because it has a high population. But relative to say any other big city in North America, the crime level is pretty much the same. That said however, the ratio of petty crimes to major crimes is skewed more towards the major crimes in New York, whereas in the city I live in, there's about the same level of crime, but more petty crime.

excuse me ,what spam?
are u dumb?oopen a thread to ask that,and i am the one cloging?
bah ! mr zero and koto have the right answer.

BlackC@t
The post that you made before is considered 'spam' because it was completely off-topic and didn't need to be posted. Yeah I made a thread like this, and that's not spam, it's a question and has something to do with Spider-Man, and your post didn't.

Thanks for your help everyone.

Spiderman_RJ

Sorry sad Just tell spiderman rj that if he is going to type something that it should actually make an actual word.

BlackC@t
Rj spam is nothing to do with the post, ask any mod or anybody that actually knows the rules and they'll tell you. And keep calling people names and you'll be banned wink

So I guess the amount of crime portrayed in Spider-Man is true....

113
actually the murder rate in the city has been down the past few years, and there are by far more petty crimes than major crimes...although recently there have been a lot of reporting about rapes/sexual assaults in brooklyn especially....

...and on a side note, i think spiderman only stops crimes that are in his path, so if he sees something get stolen or a robbery happening or a murder happening as he's swinging around the city then he helps, but there are definetly places where he cannot be. ...plus everyone is ignoring the fact that spiderman is in a very restricted area of new york. He can't travel outside of manhatten because there are no building above a few stories in abundance in the other boroughs. He'd have no place to web-sling to and from. So while Spidey is spending his own sweet time all over manhatten (not to mention there are places in manhatten where he couldn't go either) there would be crimes happening all over the bronx, queens, staten island, and brooklyn which he could do absolutely nothing about.

what calling names, i said silly, ur silly, thats and adjective like u it or not.
all big city are like this

The definition of spam is purposely vague because everybody has his or her own definition. As it currently stands, spam is in the eye of the beholder.

The general term spam can apply to messages over many outlets. Some common targets include email inboxes, search engines and discussion groups.

Unfortunately, most communication outlets are likely to be spammed to some degree. The more valuable the communication medium, the more likely it will attract spammers. Ironically, spammers threaten the very mediums they profit from.

or junk newsgroup postings. Some people define spam even more generally as any unsolicited e-mail. However, if a long-lost brother finds your e-mail address and sends you a message, this could hardly be called spam, even though it's unsolicited. Real spam is generally e-mail advertising for some product sent to a mailing list or newsgroup.
In addition to wasting people's time with unwanted e-mail, spam also eats up a lot of network bandwidth. Consequently, there are many organizations, as well as individuals, who have taken it upon themselves to fight spam with a variety of techniques. But because the Internet is public, there is really little that can be done to prevent spam, just as it is impossible to prevent junk mail. However, some online services have instituted policies to prevent spammers from spamming their subscribers.

There is some debate about the source of the term, but the generally accepted version is that it comes from the Monty Python song, "Spam spam spam spam, spam spam spam spam, lovely spam, wonderful spam…" Like the song, spam is an endless repetition of worthless text. Another school of thought maintains that it comes from the computer group lab at the University of Southern California who gave it the name because it has many of the same characteristics as the lunchmeat Spam:

Nobody wants it or ever asks for it.
No one ever eats it; it is the first item to be pushed to the side when eating the entree.
Sometimes it is actually tasty, like 1% of junk mail that is really useful to some people

The most commonly agreed upon definition of SPAM closely follows the laws that prohibit unwanted broadcast faxes, though the term SPAM itself only applies to email.

The characteristics of SPAM are simply that the email is:

Mass mailed
Commercial in nature
Not requested by the recipient
Sent without a prior business relationship
While there are several other characteristics useful in determining whether an email is SPAM, if any of the above three tests is true, it's generally considered SPAM.

A few common scenarios to help further define and apply these tests:

Scenario: An acquaintance sends a joke or urban legend to everyone in their address book.
While receiving such emails might be annoying, they are not considered SPAM because there is no commercial purpose to the emails.

Scenario: You visit a web site and request "more information" about a product or service, and you continue to receive email from the site on a regular basis.
Since you initiated contact and provided your email address, this is not SPAM, but is instead legitimate Direct Marketing. However, if you attempt to "unsubscribe" from receiving these communications, then future emails would qualify as SPAM.

Scenario: You have made a purchase from a company, and even after the transaction is complete, you continue to receive promotional emails from them.
Because a previous business relationship exists this is not considered SPAM, but is instead legitimate Direct Marketing. However, if you attempt to "unsubscribe" from receiving these communications, then future emails would qualify as SPAM.

Scenario: You receive commercial email solicitations that you have not requested, and where you have not previously conducted business with the owner of the web site.
Because there is no prior business relationship and the email is commercial in nature, this is definitely SPAM.

While there will always be some instances that defy easy classification, these guidelines and examples will accurately classify SPAM in the vast majority of cases.

spidey has it a lot easier now. the fantastic four take care of the really big threats, cloak and dagger pretty much cover the bronx and harlem. Daredevil takes care of hell's kitchen and the lower west side. that leaves spidey to handle the rest of the city.

Spiderman_RJ
is hell kitchen reallly a neighborhood? or ficticious? also is it on the game?

Paola
blink is the thread name "Who can say best the meaning of spamming"?
