    Children not learning the lessons of failure

    When I was in grade school, they were just trying out this "feel good about yourself" curiculum. Teachers were not allowed to correct in red because the color was the same as "stop" and would discourage us. We also had a thing called "inventive spelling" (I bullshit you not!) It didn't matter...

    Helpful everyday tidbits

    One of the best investments you will ever make is an AAA menbership. It may seem like a pain in the butt to pay the yearly/monthly fee, but the first time your car breaks down on the side of the road and you don't have to pay for towing to a reputable garage it will be totally worth it. Also...

    In Soviet Russia

    In Soviet Russia, cat box scoops you out. In Soviet Russia, art criticizes you.

    Prison: Isolation or Punishment?

    Some prisoners live better than people on the outside. Provided one sides with the right crowd and doesn't drop the soap too often, I don't know how it's either. They have social time, cable TV, weight rooms, guaranteed three meals a day ... There are pictures out there of some prisons that look...

    Clarification needed: Why do women LOVE Twilight?

    Girls like it. Women don't.

    Poll: Gaming: Art form or Entertainment?

    So much time and effort goes into the characters, objects and environment of every game. Whether I find it asthetically pleasing or not it's still art. And as I cetainly don't game because I have to or because I like to tourture myself, they are (by definition) entertainment as well.

    Kill Them

    Tie you feet down with a rope that gets longer little by little over time and swing you like a pendulum over a floor covered with cheese graters. (Sorry, It's late...)

    The "In a World..." Game

    People trample each other to death day in and day out and it becomes the next holy place, making the Holy Land in Isreal look like a side show attraction until one day someone with brains decides to nuke it in order to save humanity from itself. In a world where Sanrio mercandise surpasses...

    Kill-imals

    Machete Shrew! (No one would suspect...) A big spider with a bomb on it that will go off only if the person seeing it shrieks at a certain girly high frequency.

    "Filler Movies"...

    The Harry Potter series. Not because they're bad, per-say. But after reading the books (yes, I am aware of they didn't exactly match!) and seeing them more than once they make great background noise. I use the Invader Zim series for that too, but have to be careful how long I let it go or I...

    Do You Like Your Name?

    My name real name is Welsh. It has a weird "y" in it that makes it impossible for the casual reader to pronounce correctly. Teachers, lawyers, employers; you name it. Only one in ten people pronounce it right the first time and that one in ten is usually on vacation. I don't tend to use it...
