    David Cameron calls for all teens to do community service.

    ...poor kids... poor... suburban kids... having to help clean up the community. That's just awful. Will you listen to yourself? Community service is not necessarily punishment. All teenagers in my area have to do at least 40 hrs before they can graduate secondary school. I personally think...

    Escapist Ads?

    lol you know what, maybe this is a little out of scope, but I think the culture surrounding advertisements in general frustrates me... ie: a few of the responses. I agree that the website needs to make money, but intrusive, 32 second ads that are unskippable (which is not an exaggeration...

    Escapist Ads?

    Get your facts straight. We've addressed this issue in several other threads. It's not a virus, it's an error in definition on the part of your adblock software. We're currently talking to the company responsible and getting it fixed. OP: Do what you have to do. We provide something for free...

    Looking fora Good Dark Comedy!

    Wild Target. Emily Blunt, Bill Nighy and Rupert Grint. Not really dark, but odd, hilarious and certainly has a few dark moments. EDIT: Also, American Psycho with Christian Bale was pretty dark, and I found it pretty humorous...

    Escapist Ads?

    Been a while since I've been to the site, I usually visit every Wednesday for ZP's new game review... I'm not sure if it matters to most of you, specifically the admins/mods, but the obnoxious ads at the bottom of the screen which popup over everything else, and then the un-skippable ads before...

    Immortal Technique, anyone?

    Just heard a (relatively) new verse from him on Da Circle's Napalm track and this guy is just getting better and better. If you haven't heard it, check it out (Tech's verse @ 2:45ish): And if you don't know who Immortal Tech is, you don't know what you're missing. For all you political...

    Backpacking... For Ever.

    When I was 18, I did that. I'd never been on a plane before, never traveled before, but it ended up being a life changing experience. Finding a job won't be as hard as you think. If you can sling drinks, there's always someone who will be willing to pay you under the table. Or, you could...

    Police pepper spray 8 year old

    I'm wondering why these cops felt the 8 yr old child couldn't have been taken down by physical force alone? For Christ's sake, you should be wearing stab resistant vests. If you think using pepper spray is superior to being physically restrained, go shoot some citrus in your eyes.

    The Myth of the Angry Feminist

    Some of you are fucked up. I think fundamentally we can agree that things between men and women are not equal, but it's different all over the globe - some women have it MORE equal than other women. It leaves a lot to be desired. If you're one of the people saying "boy, women have it hard...

    The Escapist Presents: Starcraft 2: Easter Eggs

    Not sure if this has already been said, but I've been screwing around in the Galaxy Editor and I just found a "Carbon Block Marine" in the neutral units... lol

    The StarCraft 2 Easter Egg thread (may contain spoilers)

    Haven't tried this myself, but apparently Diablo can be seen in "The Devil's Playground" at the right edge of the map.

    Immortal Technique!

    Any followers? He's a Peruvian-born Harlem native, political activist, underground rapper. If you're not a fan, you should be. This is a shameless plug, but check it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpXCYyw5RtM (freestyle) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIjVCp_nITY (What Hip Hop Is...

    Tattoos!

    I have a full sleeve on my right arm (w/ chest piece) and a half sleeve on my left. Over 24 hrs of work now... there's a lot of things in there. My advice is, print a photo of what you want for your first, and put it somewhere you'll see it everyday... stick it on a wall. Leave it for a few...
