I once saw a show called "My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding". Anyone who has seen it or has much experience with travelers in real life would probably agree that if they all drove their Winnebagos off a cliff, nothing of value would be lost. However, here in America we would just call them homeless...

I love metal but I listen to just about anything that isn't rap or country as well. Some good folk, some classical. Most people who are intelligent enough to understand why metal is awesome (complex instrumentation, intricate rhythms etc.) will probably appreciate other quality music as well.

It represents bigotry, racism, and a failed idea of how government should work (to me at least). I honestly get embarrassed when I'm with someone from out of state and we see a guy with the bars and stars on his truck. I'm in Indiana- why the hell do rednecks feel the need to have the flag on...

There are a decent amount of them here in Southern Indiana. Once you get out of town most people are either white trash or rednecks, so either way Confederate Flags are popular. They seem to be a socially acceptable way of saying "I embrace conservative values and a failed system of government."...

I'm not sure why people are trying to lobby that this isn't just a Minecraft clone. Are you getting paid? You are deluding yourself if you think its not the same game. That doesn't mean its illegal or that putting it on Live isn't a goods idea. Its a great idea. Its a gold mine and I'm sure...

Just got out of a law class arguing this and other 1st Amendment cases. Can't resist arguing... Actually, this goes to prove that 8 out of the 9 Supreme Court justices have a pair that clank. I can guarantee that not a single one of the justices agreed with what WBC is doing (reading the...

Because it talks to me and gives me good suggestions. And because it looks at energy balls of death and is like "NoooOOOO WwwaaAAyyYYY!!!" (Glados voice)

I don't consider myself a religious guy but if the real Jesus came back with his comparatively tolerant New Testament stance on things, I would really consider it. I would definitely enjoy watching Fox News's crew shit their pants when Jesus doesn't turn out to be a racist homophobic...

This was kind of asked before, but not really answered. Why is there so much animosity between India and Pakistan? I've talked to my Pakistani friends (my university's business school attracts a lot of Pakistanis and Indians) and Indian friends (including my former employer) and both sides'...

Having been here through three (I think) March Mayhems, I can say that I am both excited and apprehensive. Its a great concept that brings lots of traffic and great new people to the Escapist, but it also brings out a lot of hostility among people. I'd be lying if I said I haven't been rip-shit...

I don't think Zynga is as insanely popular as it was in the last few years. If they try another campaign it might stand a chance but, as per usual, there would be a pretty big anti-Zynga push from us regular Escapists.

Mojang v. Nintendo is a bummer. As awesome as Mojang (and transitively Minecraft and Notch) is, Nintendo is virtually guaranteed to get into the Final Four at least.

No offense dude, but there might be a reason they are bailing after giving you their numbers. Most girls are too nice to say no if you are persistent enough, which sounds like what your plan of attack revolves around. Calling them out by checking their numbers is pretty off-putting too- it makes...

My mom is all about Bejeweled 3 and Mahjong. My brothers and I got our dad hooked on World of Warcraft, which is hilarious. None of us play anymore but he's still out there grinding.

This guy is a level 87 elite master troll. Its perfect really- an offensive game that no one whose not fucked-up in the head would enjoy and makes the gaming community look like what Fox News thinks we are, coupled with pseudo-intellectual superiority and a callous disdain for innocent...
