    Would you support a cure for homosexuality and transexualism?

    I can't really agree with your reasoning. That is, I agree that it shouldn't be forced upon a child, but I don't think it's fair to take away other adults' choices (assuming that some gay people would want to become straight) because you don't want to be ridiculed more. I think if such a...

    Would you support a cure for homosexuality and transexualism?

    If I found a cure for homosexuality, like drink this and you'll be straight, then I'd go public with it. I mean, if a homosexual doesn't want to be homosexual, them me telling him that he has to be homosexual is the same as me telling him that he ought to be heterosexual. I think whether or...

    Why do so many people on the internet like to characterize Japan as sex-crazy?

    In my opinion, the things they are conservative with are just different than the things we are conservatives with. And it depends on where you live, that's true. I think part of it is that they don't feel the need to show off their breasts because frankly, they don't have them. They just...

    Why do so many people on the internet like to characterize Japan as sex-crazy?

    ***I LIVE IN JAPAN RIGHT NOW*** I think it's partially because things that seem extremely and blatantly sexual to us aren't, and things that seem inappropriate to us aren't to them. Extremely short skirts, even to the point where you can see a girl's panties when she sits down? That's just...

    Do You Hate People Who Disagrees With You?

    ^^That. Well, I don't think that the two are...opposites? But I think they're very different. I try to never hate someone, but sometimes it takes effort not to.

    Science buffs: Species with a truly collective consciousness?

    What is the species that is truly closest to a collective consciousness? I can't think of any, to be honest. The closest I can imagine would be ants, or other insects that have a hive mentality. But an ant doesn't actually see what other ants see. If there aren't any species that have a...

    What is your emotional flashpoint?

    Yeah, I agree. I was the subject of some very serious bullying, up until the 8th grade. (I still got insulted verbally after that, but after getting bigger and a few fights, they just said things from a distance.) I remember watching a movie with a friend and his cousin and aunt. The bigger...

    What is your emotional flashpoint?

    Yeah, I think it's an emotional debate for most.

    What is your emotional flashpoint?

    I guess religious debates is one of mine, too. They're just stupidity from both sides. A guy earlier posted about how he will verbally assault people who "preach" in front of him, attack them, and with pride said that he made a guy cry. He even admitted that he abandoned notions of mercy...

    Based on where you live, what Pokemon would you have?

    All of them. I live in Japan, so (by law) I'd own at least one of all of them.

    Poll: Do you think you're more intelligent than the average person? (Be honest)

    You know....I can't help but really respect the people that feel that they're below average...and think that, at least in some way, they're smarter than me.

    That thread you hate... you know the one.

    Yes. "I don't like this game." Good, you're a person with an opinion. "I don't like this game and no one else should either." You're a douche.

    That thread you hate... you know the one.

    One of the things that I hate are polls that are religiously/politically charged but with very biased choices. I'll make up an extreme example so that people's understanding of what I'm saying can be without political biased. "Do you think what Hitler did was right?" Choices: -Yes...

    Cliches that you hate with a passion.

    "This guy is big, thus, he is INCREDIBLY stupid." It's okay if someone outsmarts a bigger opponent. But just because someone is stronger than you doesn't mean that you'll make them run head first into a tree while saying "duuuhhh..." Stop it. "The only way to beat them is to make them...

    Kinect Sells Terribly in Japan

    The thing is, the few people that do like 360s over here tend to like more American style gameplay. You know, chainsawing people or beating zombies with an oar. So trying to Japanese the American console isn't going to help. I mean, small towns don't even sell 360 stuff most of the time. Who...
