    What do you think is the best sub-genre of metal?

    pretty much what this guy said, my favorite old school metal bands are Iced Earth(favorite band of all time, especially during Matt Barlow's reign) and Iron Maiden, and Power metal like Lost Horizon, Dragonforce, etc, are in my not-so-humble opinion the evolution of that sound. The operatic...

    The misinterpretation of evolution

    The less you know about something, the more convinced you get that you know everything about it. when I was a yellow belt in my Martial arts school, I thought I knew it all. Now I'm a brown belt and am overwhelmed by how much I have yet to learn.

    The misinterpretation of evolution

    This. A million times this. I learned quite a bit about evolution, and I was gravely misinformed on some things, and I accept evolution. Asita, sir(that is, if you are male, I think you are; but I might just be being presumptuous),you are very intelligent. My hat's off to you. EDIT:That is...

    What would you do if Jesus turned out to be real and came back?

    My life is would be absolutely the same, bar one less topic to debate, and listening to my Christian friends get all smug. (Clarification: my religious stance is "trolling the overly devout" and Generally not giving a shit either way.)

    Um..Yeah, this is pretty much my feelings on this. You like a Tv show. Congratu-fucking-lations. Nobody cares.

    Misconceptions you hate!

    That being past the age of physical maturity means you're emotionally mature and intelligent. That being under the age of physical maturity makes you a emotional child who's stupid as all hell. That being physically mature means that you know best and everyone who's younger than hyou is a...

    Poll: Respect for others

    Two. I show basic respect to everyone until they prove to be respectable or an asshole, the trustworthy get more respect and the scum get none, and have very little chance of getting it back. Because I'm narcissistic and I think my respect matters.

    Poll: Why do YOU do what is right?

    little bit of ego and altruism. I like to think I have some honor and compassion, and that honor/compassion sometimes gives me the false impression that I'm better than others "yeah, I'm a douche, but at least I care about others, more than most can say"

    what are your "unpopular" opinions on gaming?

    I fucking love you. OT: Ermm..Dragon age II wasn't that bad? I didn't find portal's gameplay all that enthralling. 90% of the time I'll forgive most gameplay flaws as long as the story and roleplaying is interesting enough. that's all I got.

    Poll: How smart do you think you are?

    I'm an idiot, which is still smarter than 90% of the world population

    Irrational bias

    Hm, true. But why continue to push the issue even when people have made it very clear they want no part in it? I've met people who take every opportunity to convert me, even after I had told them I will never convert, due to various pride related reasons. Pushing them at every turn is just going...

    Irrational bias

    Okay, I was reading that whole Gay marriage topic (No, I'm not going to talk about that. I'm going to talk about another controversial topic that people rage about) and I stumbled across something that interested me. Irrational bias. See, I have a somewhat irrational bias against organized...
