    Bless This Mess

    Why did you put quotes around the word modern? Unless you have some kind of time travelling matrix theory, the modernity of the world isn't in question.

    Do many Westerners really dislike Japanese games for such shallow reasons as "anime"?

    Yeah, it does. But I also don't tend to like the gameplay of Japanese games, especially JRPGs. I get that the thread is only about aesthetics, but that's rarely the ONLY reason, it's the combination. I don't even mind the anime look, it's the fact that it's almost always associated with...

    Things everybody should know but for some reason, most don't.

    Cool. I'm somewhat close to Binghampton, but actually live out in the country.

    Things everybody should know but for some reason, most don't.

    Holy shit, this. I've had to explain the concept of states to people before, it's kind of frustrating. Not to be weird, but where in upstate New York do you live? I'm from there as well.

    Poll: Quote me!

    Awful. We got barely any snow this year (seriously, it's like autumn down here) which means absolutely zero snow days. And it's still cold enough to be annoying.

    Well that's good then. You're always fun to talk to.

    Poll: The Truth about Greece

    No offence, but I don't think anyone wants to "enslave" greece. Honestly, think about that one for a bit.

    Poll: Quote me!

    Ooh god, yes. Back when I had nothing else to do, I could wrack up ten or more quotes a day. Now I get quoted maaaybe once a week, if I'm particularly contentious. I blame it on the recession.

    Bullies

    Luckily, I haven't been bullied in school. I'm the ideal candidate for it (funny looking, slightly overweight, terrible depth perception, nerdy, somewhat awkward around new people, especially girls). My school is on the small side (around 400 kids total) so everyone in each grade knows each...

    14 year old shoots himself in the head during school

    The german man held the gun to his temple. Can't exactly get much closer range than that. The woman who was shot in the head was also shot at a rather close range. The exception proves the rule? The fuck? You said that it's impossible to survive a gunshot wound to the head, and I showed...

    Marines posed with Nazi SS symbol in Afghanistan

    You've got to be fucking kidding me. That's one of the more egregious examples of Godwin's law I've seen, and I've been compared to hitler for saying people shouldn't smoke in public.

    Ooh, and what bastion of intelligence and virtue do you hail from?

    Bill O'Reilly defends Ellen DeGeneres

    Why, when ever someone in America does something stupid, is it immediately blamed on America as a whole? Damn, that gets annoying. Other countries fucking stone gay people, and when one stupid group complains about a gay person (and is immediately criticized by one of the most conservative...

    14 year old shoots himself in the head during school

    Yes they do. For one thing, head =/= brain. Getting shot through the cheek is quite survivable. Also, Gabrielle Giffords was shot through the head recently, and lived. Even when people die it's rarely instantaneous, IIRC Lincoln lived until the next morning and was taken to the hospital...

    Poll: Is Alienware overrated?

    I don't think so, because Alienware seems to be the only people that like Alienware. Never ever seen a positive opinion of them.
