    Do you follow trends?

    Here's where we agree. Like my made-up-just-you-all-alone-world, you're wearing the jeans out of necessity and practical use when you wear them on your farm. I suppose we really would have to break the act down more specifically. Wearing jeans because they make sense to work would be a pattern...

    Do you follow trends?

    I would only comment to say that you're more likely to receive service at a gas station, restaurant, or similar establishment if you wore shoes and a shirt with those jeans and didn't only wear jeans. OK, for clarity, I'm calling nobody here a hipster, merely pointing out that in proclaiming...

    Do you follow trends?

    Thank you. I spent 15 minutes typing this and didn't want to have to lead in with "OK for the sake of arguing with myself." So thank you for humoring me. Now the question is: why? Comfort? Why not wear a pair of sweats or pajama pants, then? Durability? Coveralls or even heavier pants would...

    Do you follow trends?

    That's not the definition of a trend though. That's cognitively giving in to peer pressure in terms of clothing, music, etc. A trend is simply a tendency; following a general pattern. OK, let's stick with the jeans example. I assume you wear jeans when it's too cold to wear shorts, yes?

    Do you follow trends?

    Everybody follows trends whether they're willing to admit it or not. Do you ever wear blue jeans? Trend. Do you ever wear hooded sweatshirts? Trend. Ever wear a baseball cap? Trend. How do you wear your hair? Bet it follows some trend. Nearly everything is a trend of some kind, even if...

    Best Trilogy or Movie Series

    It's basically the reason Robocop, The Godfather, and Terminator can't be on my list. While the first two movies of each series were great, I refuse to admit that the third movie in each even exists. The world is a happier place without them. The only exception could be The Godfather. The...

    I didn't vote

    I always vote, at least when I know the candidates and their stances on the issues at hand. It's up to you to decide who represents the lesser of two (or three) evils.

    depression...

    Good thing you're too young to drink; alcohol is a depressant anyway. Being drunk isn't a solution. Nicotine, while a stimulant, is also a bad solution. Try spending time outside with friends.

    Poll: Chuck

    I watched a few episodes and didn't enjoy them at all. My parents, on the other hand, enjoyed if for quite a while but felt the quality was slipping a bit in the last season. They do still watch it every week, though.

    Games are getting too dark? Literally

    I would definitely check this, especially if you can't see in Call of Duty very well. While it's not the world's brightest game, there shouldn't have been many (if any) parts where you had that much trouble seeing.

    Poll: Will Microsoft repair my 360?

    Sure, for $99 USD, they'll fix just about anything. Whether your warranty is valid may be another story...

    why....

    Not saying that it's a bad thing (though it could be considered rude), but right there you're proving my point. Being sex-obsessed isn't just about wanting to have sex all the time. It's about thinking about the opposite sex (or I guess your own, too) in a sexual way all the time. Just because...

    why....

    Well, there are exceptions to every rule. Not every man thinks about sex every minute of the day, and some women do think about it pretty often. Doesn't even have to be about actual sex, either. Most women who see a guy they think is good looking note his good looks, might comment, then move...

    why....

    Because men do truly (as a whole) tend to objectify women far more than the other way around. Women are much more in tune with a real "bonding process" and are much more tied to their emotions; relationships are generally less about sex for them and more about the actual relationship. While men...
