    I'm a vegan and I come in peace...

    Interesting OP, and some good points and reasons for becoming vegan. I think it's important to note that, while for some, being vegan is a viable and beneficial option, other people do need the nutrients meat offers. Severely anaemic people, people who have non-meat food allergies, people who...

    So.... reasons why wouldnt you go to australia?

    Sydney is expensive, though. :P One of the most expensive cities in the world, now. As for me, well, it's where I'm from, so I don't have much holding me back. My main reason for not going back there is that I don't want to leave my family, who're all in the UK with me.

    A Question about Porn [Adults Only?]

    It's wish-fulfilment, IMO. The bloke imagines himself in the bloke position. I'd say that girls who watch porn often do the same sort of thing, hence why we don't always watch gay male porn.

    Poll: UK Citizenship Quiz

    Absolute love, for this. I failed with 11/24, and I'll be needing to take this test at some stage. I might have to study.

    To all the British Escapists

    Well, I turned 18 in Australia and 21 in Britain - both countries where you are a legal adult at 18... honestly, 21 didn't seem like that big a deal compared to 18. Having said that, we tend to have slightly bigger celebrations for it.

    Poll: Isn't crying about the deceased pointless?

    You've possibly phrased the question wrong. I would say that crying FOR the deceased is pointless. It's not like they can hear you. I'd say there is a lot of reason to cry over the deceased's death, for the living. The grieving process is an important process, etc etc. The funeral itself isn't...

    Movies saying that Atheism is true.

    Very good point. Sadly though, for some, there isn't that much of a choice, and it's not like we can necessarily go for what we would "rather believe". It'd be nice if we could, though. Hmm. Nifty. Although you can be of a particular faith and also be pro-evolution. I'd almost argue that the...

    Guys are jerks. But girls...?

    I've never been mistreated by a man, but as a girl, I can assure you that yes, girls can be dicks. Absolutely. Also, as a point of interest. Out of my parents, it's definitely my mother who wins the prize for 'bigger dick'. And it's not like my dad can't be a dick, because he can. Mum's just...

    Are people too hard on smokers?

    Aww, thank you. :P to be honest though, it's not an entirely selfless opinion. I have other reasons for saying that people's choices are their choices and they should be allowed to make those choices without being made to feel as though they've somehow failed at life. But anyway, glad you liked...

    Are people too hard on smokers?

    thought i'd chuck in my two cents. i'll occasionally smoke if the people i'm currently hanging out with are. it's not some bullshit peer pressure thing - it's just something i enjoy with certain other people. the same thing applies with drinking. i never drink or smoke alone, and since i'm...

    So, what do YOU think about MY country?

    Love you guys, and your country. Seriously. I am considering spending some time (maybe a year or so) over there in the near-ish future so I can get my Swedish on. Sadly right now the only words I can say are "Hej" (which I believe I'm spelling the Danish way... I'm sorry :P) and "Skal" (with two...

    Your cutie mark

    Probably a French horn, but like a lot of people I have many interests. If the French horn could be mingled with a Japanese symbol, an International Phonetic Alphabet symbol, and a pen and notebook, that would probably be my main bases covered.

    What take away do you eat at? What do you think of Mcdonalds?

    Mainly I eat Chinese takeaways, McDonalds, pizza, and when I'm in Japan, convenience store food. I'd say convenience store food is my favourite, simply because there is a lot of variety there, but I love McDonalds. Always have. I've lived in three different countries and I love it as much in...

    Poll: Favourite accent from around the world?

    Wow, someone's gotta tell England that they're winning this poll, because I don't think they'll believe it otherwise. I'm sure some other smart-arse has pointed this out, but Scotland is part of Britain, so I'm assuming you mean 'English' accent. Also an interesting concept, because England...

    South AU replacing MA15+ with R18+ for games

    Interesting. I think the idea of an R rating existing in Australia is good (like, I'd say, everyone). What I'm wondering is if this will mean that R-rated future games will be allowed in South Australia and nowhere else, or if R is just going to be the SA version of MA15+, so 15-17-year-old...
