    Lying

    (Sigh) My personal rule: Only lie when it's necessary to protect someone from undeserved harm. Obviously, since it's my rule, and word "harm" can refer to a lot of different things, there is quite a bit of variability in what I consider to be an acceptable lie. But I would estimate...

    Well, I was gonna throw "when will we see a non-attractive woman in hollywood" into the mix, but they keep casting Drew Barrymore in movies. . . so I guess I would lose that one immediately. Anyways, I think there are "normal" women in videogames, it's just that: 1. There aren't very many...

    How Much (if any) would you reward this person?

    I smell a fake. Okay, let's say you win 250k in a casino. And. . . for arguments sake we'll pretend taxes don't exist. Red Flag 1. I admit that I don't know a lot about casinos paying out high winners, but it is reasonable to think that a casino would give the option to have your...

    The escapist is playing the wrong video

    So here's the deal, about a week ago, I tried to play Yatzee's latest video review. But the video wouldn't load when I hit play. . . nothing would happen. ( also I couldn't see the forum's latest posts on the right side of the screen) The folowing day, I could see the forum posts, and I...

    Lance Armstrong to be stripped of medals

    Ehh, I don't know. The sides of the issue make it hard to come to a definitive decision. Pro's: It completely understandable that Armstrong would finally say "fuck it" after being accused of taking drugs for 10 plus years straight, and proving himself innocent again and again. The USADA is...

    10 Things Most Americans Don?t Know About America

    Okay. . . ??? Please remember I said that a "vocal minority" doesn't count, as it is not a representive of the average. Also, the idea that this group represents a "growing number of people" is laughable. And again, wishing to be hated, and actually being hated are two different things. And...
