    Logical Fallacies That Grind Your Gears

    Non sequitur: it does not follow. Example: Yakob believes that God exists, therefore he is an asshole. Jens lies to his parents frequently, therefore his artwork is terrible.

    Poll: What is your nationality?

    American from Michigan, where Mother Nature always forgets to take her mood stabilizers and buries the state in snow one day, creates a desert for three days, and then washes away her sorrows with a week of storms... But I live in Baden-Württemberg in Germany now. It's pretty awesome here...

    What Do You Look Like?

    Me and my friends at the Fruehlingsfest in Stuttgart. I'm the one in the front in the checkered red shirt. http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/523224_3010294497470_136895406_n.jpg Me wearing a banana leaf hat from Vietnam at Drunk Kitchen, courtesy of my friend Jannick...

    Tell me some good news.

    All of the grades I got this semester in Germany will transfer as A's when I go back to America, so an all-A semester for me! W00t! And also, and even more importantly, I have seen at least 6 of my friends lift themselves out of heavy depressions in the past few weeks. I'm overjoyed!

    Would you give up your name?

    I really have no idea how this works with gay relationships...I suppose if my husband had a cool last name, I'd be like "sure," but if not, then he can get over it. Like my teacher in high school who gave up her beautiful Lebanese last name to adopt her husband's hideous German one...

    Should I Report?

    I personally wouldn't report it because such things no longer bother me in the slightest after living in Germany...but I also wouldn't defend them if they got in trouble. Nor would I judge the other neighbors for reporting this family. Things work differently in the US...such as it is. They can...

    what would you make Earth's official language?

    Icelandic would become the supreme language among mankind, for it is an amazing language. If for some reason I couldn't do that, I would either make it Swahili, Finnish, or Ancient Sumerian. EDIT: But in all seriousness for a hypothetical question, I would either choose to make a new language...

    When's the last time you had sex?

    Last time for me was Friday. Next time will probably be next week or something. Sex isn't an important part of my life.

    I have to go to MEPS tommorow, and I will not lie, knowing I may not have a career in the military.

    A year is a year is a year. It's a long time, but it passes, and you are young. The opportunity will come. Judging by your posts, lying will have a huge impact on your conscience...as it damn well should, especially because carrying the nagging fear that the military will catch you on it and...

    what is up with this double standard????

    She is leading you in a dramatic circle. I am not going to tell you to get rid of her since she is such a close friend, but there are a few points: 1) There is a possibility you did something that offended her but that you did not recognize or see as bad. Perhaps it was something that was...

    What is the worst game you own?

    Hm... The only game I disliked/was disappointed in enough to actually want to go sell it back was Lord the Rings: Conquest. I really, really did not like that game. I remember the first time I hung out with a guy who is now one of my closest friends, he asked to play co-op on that game with...

    Writing on the wall - A chance to be a part of Escapist history!

    I'm a lurker, but I love this site and these forums and I'd like to be a part of this if there is space. I don't care about fonts or anything.

    Embarrassing sex-related stories

    Hm...when I was a sophomore at university, me and a freshman snuck* downstairs looking for a place to do it. We discovered a music room used by the local residential college of arts and whatever for practicing that was by some miracle still open. Well, he was really new to the whole deal and...

    How important is sex to you?

    ...mmm...not really. As long as I get laid like, four times a year, I am good.
