    What does the world have against America?

    When I saw this thread I thought "How adorably naive" ^_^" Perhaps it's because most Americans I've met have claimed this, or a somewhat less hyperbole-laden statement that essentially means the same thing, at least once with a straight face. And I AM American. Seriously, I hear this shit...

    Most terrifying experience

    I was gang raped when I was fifteen. ..... Now that I think about it, that's a sort of obvious/awkward-to-mention-in-public one, isn't it?

    Crazy theories you've developed

    That made me laugh for like five minutes. I'm totally telling that to my brother (who was texting me babbling about eigenvalues or something, I dunno) next time I see him. The physical world isn't real. Of course a part of me knows this is ridiculous, but I'm just insane enough to believe it...

    We've lost our faith in humanity.

    Personally, I like to take this state of mind. Now when people are actually reasonable, intelligent, or compassionate, I'm pleasantly surprised. It's quite nice.

    Question about Christmas

    No, it's not. The tree thing is from some Germanic thing where the pagans pretty much just put candles on random trees. I can't remember if this was originally for the solstice or imbolc (can't remember the Germanic word for that), but either one would make sense, really, with only a different...

    What do you think when you hear the word "transexual?"

    Usually I think about transgender people I've known (as someone else said, I do prefer transgender above transsexual for various reasons I won't be getting in to). I don't see why someone's gender identity, whether transgendered or cisgendered, should really have any influence on what I think of...

    "Girl Gamer Syndrome"

    I can't take credit for that one. A gay guy I knew used to say that all the time. Though believe me, he means it in a VERY different sense than I do, if you catch my drift. It does make your use of the word "splurted" kinda... XD

    Your most hated RPG status effect

    I hate confusion and berserk so fucking much it isn't even funny. Though if we count enemy buffs as well--and if we think net effect I think it counts--paling from FFXII is the most horrible thing in any game ever. I can't think of off the top of my head a more disgusting excuse of lengthening...

    "Girl Gamer Syndrome"

    Personally, this annoys the fuck out of me. When I used to play an MMO, I would start flirting like crazy with every one I ran into until they shut up (lesbian, by the way; that creeps straight girls out most of the time). But then again, the whole "special snowflake" thing museofdoom referenced...

    Poll: Musical instruments

    I hope I'm not the first one to point this out: it's spelled "saxophone". I also play guitar, but I'm not very good at it. And by that I mean I could play rhythm for just about everything I listen too; that stuff usually isn't nearly as hard as it sounds...

    Bi-Sexuality

    Well, I sort of consider myself bisexual, so I'll throw in my hat. I'm attracted physically to both sexes, almost perfectly evenly. Why I say I "sort of" consider myself bisexual is because I have little to no romantic interest in men. So, while I consider myself bisexual, I usually tell...

    Lets talk about games and the lack of good stories

    While there is nothing wrong with static stories, they don't take advantage of everything the interactive medium has to offer. Either would be just as moving or impressive as the other if done properly. Dynamic story telling is just a comparatively new mode (in the mass-produced sense; it's...

    Poll: were world war 2 and the cold war clear cut battles between good and evil?

    I would also like to point out that the systems of democracy and communism are not mutually exclusive. In fact, the entire point of communism is to devolve all power, including social and economic, to the people, the simple absence of which marks the USSR as a totalitarian, and NOT communist...

    Why is it in American culture, if you value time more than money you are considered lazy?

    I considered mentioning that, but it's rather pointless. What meaning of a word is more important, the proper definition one would find in a dictionary or the impression an average person receives? But even the developed/developing/undeveloped system is incredibly ethnocentric and more...

    Does anyone else feel like this about music?

    I've always felt that music was just an aspect of socialization, and like any other such method, some become attached to it and some don't. Myself, I'm a musician, in the sense that I was taught to play several instruments since I was four, and as a result reflexively break a song into its...
