" @ashriels: I get headaches, I have to try that, hopefully it works with a tylenol instead of an asprin.   "

  You should, I know it works for me.  Just don't overdo it with the caffeine.  Caffeine withdrawal can make it worse.

"Asprin is pain medication, the other stuff is drugs. Medication is good for you or helpful, drugs just make you high as shit."

Aspirin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug.  Just because it is legal and can be purchased over the counter, doesn't mean it isn't a drug.
 
Also, it was mentioned because a lot of aspirin pills are mixed with caffeine, as it tends to help with migraine pain.

" There is something wrong with you dude, you need to see a doctor. If your body cannot tolerate the levels of caffeine in a Mountain Dew, something definitely isn't right. "
Where do you get your medical information from?
 
Speaking from experience, I've cut my intake of caffeine and sugar, and I think your problem resides in your sugar intake.  If you feel you need extra energy, but don't want to get sick from the usual beverages you drink try sugarless alternatives like:  caffeine pills, sugarless energy drinks / shots, coffee, etc.
 
Again, alcoholic beverages, specifically wine coolers and liquors have loads of sugar.  This was my issue when it came to drinking, so I started to regulate the types of liquor I drink.  
 
If you're drinking beer, you may be allergic to some of the ingredients used.  Different beers use different genetic strains of hops (different regions breed different flavors, etc), and it's actually really common for one kind of beer to make you deathly ill, while another kind makes you feel really good.
 
Just do a little research, maybe go see a doctor.  But through trial and error you can probably figure out a good alternative route to get what you want out of these beverages.  Good luck.

" Half black is still black. "
This is how it works.  I don't know why, but it is.  Like me, for example.  I'm half white (german) and middle-eastern.  I'm definitely considered middle eastern among my peers here in the midwest.  It's odd, but it doesn't bother me.  We multi-raced, mocha colored sex machines know how to work it. 
 
But to be serious, the politically correct term is multi-racial.  I don't keep up with the news on this particular subject, but the last I heard organizations representing people of mixed ethnicity want this to be a new classification of race.  I tend to agree with this, as it's factually and scientifically (and depending on motive, racist)  incorrect to acknowledge a portion of their race, and not the rest.

You know, most of us apart of this community don't care, which is good to an extent but for the sake of discussion we'd rather not dismiss it.  We want to understand why we have these social and cultural structures, rather than accept it as some kind of unchangeable inevitability.  Apathy is better than racism, but indifference can easily be misinterpreted as ignorant.  Try not to fall into the latter.

I listen to the books I want to read on CD.  It's a much better experience. 
 
With the exception of Hunter S. Thompson and Charles Bukowksi.  They're great on Audio CD, but their written voice is so superb and rich with detail that it keeps me totally captivated.  And since I have ADHD that actually means something.

Bassnectar is a musical force to be reckon with.  Again, I couldn't pick a favorite a song as most of his material is insaaaaaaaaaaane.
 
Here's a live remix of Metallica's Seek & Destroy I cannot stop listening to.

Are you referring to my post?  I thought it might be a joke, but I figured there's still room for discussion.

And anything that the devs include in the game is fair game to use to get achievements."

Developer consoles are intended to be used for debugging.
 
Anyways I'm not personally irked by cheaters, I do understand why people would find this upsetting though.  Cheating depreciates the value of the community point system as well as the value of the achievement.  Someone who cheated to earn "super pro #1 ranked" invalidates the player who earned it, as it is a legitimate reflection on a player's gamercard.  It tells the online community, "hey I'm decent add me to your team if you want to kick butt."  Some are for fun, sure, but a good portion of achievements serve a purpose, definitely.
 
It all boils down to ethical ideology in gaming.  Are you cheating for fun, or to be falsely recognized in the community?  It's a fair question, but I don't think it should ruin anyone's day.
