The main issue I draw with things like this is that it's all temporary. Remember SOPA? The indefinite detention bill? All very recent, they sky rocketed to viral fame for about a week and when that week was done they may as well have stopped existing. This viral fame is all temporary - people go...

I can't say I usually like "techno pop" or dance music remixes or whatever you would call that genre. Except this song from M.I.A: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewRjZoRtu0Y

If I have to do research to be moved by a song, then the song isn't doing its job right.

Didn't manage to get the quote in this post - read below.

Well, children are loud, often obnoxious, eat a lot of food, and tend to be sticky. If an adult were like this, then there would be no question as to why no one like him and he lives in his parents basement, and some people can't make the connection that children are young and will grow out of...

It's a stupid argument. It's akin to saying that I don't want people to watch me take a shit because I have tentacles growing out of my vagina. People like their privacy in some aspects of their life. It's the reason we have developed so many ways to improve personal privacy over the years...

No, the reason SOPA/PIPA exist is because a few politicians and entertainment executives doesn't understand how the Internet works and that historical precedent has already proven that these "War Against Entertainment" scares never pan out to them not making money. All the places where piracy...

Because they're a fairly generic rock band with a habit of copy pasting their own music. I think the better question is, why are people so concerned with the fact that a band is subpar. At least it's not radically influencing young minds - it's just kind of bad music. Not even the worst music...

Not wearing a helmet means hundreds more dollars in investigations, emergency vehicle costs, and public service clean up which comes out of the pockets of tax-payers so in effect it does harm other people.

I don't believe there is any defined rights to stupidly disobey laws designed for the protection of the citizen and the people around them. The small minority of people who seem to think that "freedom" means "no laws at all" are the only people who think otherwise. Also, not ironic. Because...

Insert obligatory "Duke Nukem Forever is a bad game" pun and or joke here. That said, this is pretty cool. Opinions on the game aside, the company seems pretty cool and that's more than most bigger video game developers can say nowadays.

Woman gets fired for no real reason and it's either "Suck it up" or "Well isn't she conceited". If you read the article you'd see that she isn't just a woman who's obsessed with her looks. She's a mother, she's done VERY WELL in her old jobs and quit because she was sexually harassed. And here...

First of all, this isn't too uncommon. Often police use Facebook to hunt for criminals. This is more a case of vigilante style though. Secondly, to all the people here going "THAT WOMAN IS A *****! SHE TORE APART THEIR FAMILY", please, stop talking. The minute you start feeling sympathetic...

I rather enjoyed it actually. Every character had, well, a full character. It wasn't like the regular Alice in Wonderland which I also love but it wasn't as fulfilling. It was like a drug trip where it was nice while it lasted but afterward I was hungry. This Alice is still quirky and wonderful...

We in psychology learn this little thing called correlation. And first of all, causation is not correlation. And second of all, researcher bias can push people to find a correlation where there is none. You could research every year trying to prove storks bring babies and many years there will...
