    Poll: Do you know/are you learning a second language?

    Virgil is evil. Some of his sentences go on for lines with multiple clauses and there'll be a verb at the end and you just need to somehow infer where it goes. I do get your point about some of it being formulaic. It's also nice that the rules don't have a lot exceptions like in english.

    Poll: Do you know/are you learning a second language?

    Latin has some of the most nonsensical sentence structure I have seen. Not only that, in latin poetry, the authors regularly switch out words to meet the meter.

    I'm fluent in English and fairly proficient at translating Latin (We don't learn to speak the language)

    Poll: Did you believe in Santa Claus?

    I did. I remember even when it sounded absolutely absurd to me, I kept believing for a few years because I figured it was not worth losing out on presents.

    All your points are true, but they didn't try to execute me without any charges.

    Ways that Oblivion is superior to Skyrim

    For some reason I could just never get into Oblivion. I would just quit after a half an hour every time I tried. However, with Skyrim, I have the same feeling I had with Fallout 3. I just can't put the game down.

    Why are Americans so Patriotic?

    Just because you are patriotic does not mean you cannot be critical of America. My Conflict in the Modern World teacher is pretty critical of America and its actions, but he loves America and says he is all the more critical of it because of his patriotism.

    People disgust me sometimes

    Trolls like these really lack a sense of boundary in what they do. It's taking trolling to far. However, really the only thing to do is moderate their comments and not show any signs of getting upset over it. If you start making a big thing about it, then your just feeding them and then they win...
