    Do you think Remembrance day is a day that everyone should take part in?

    Love the warrior, hate the war. I'm as vehemently opposed to several conflicts, both past and current, as can be, but I nevertheless honour those who fought and fell in them.

    Seeing Auras, Need Advice.

    I'm aware of this, but as you pointed out, the medical definition [at least, the one I had in mind] seems to be completely unrelated to what the OP is describing, and so I would be interested in seeing the well-documented evidence for this particular phenomenon.

    Seeing Auras, Need Advice.

    Would you be willing to provide your [scientific, of course] sources for this beyond said comedy website?

    The British public's response to the riots.

    Erm, no. He was killed by a firearms officer with real bullets. He is said to have threatened officers, and possessed an illegal gun himself. The rest is more or less true.

    The British public's response to the riots.

    Only in the West can people organising mass assaults, destruction and thefts through £300 Blackberry smartphones while running from police in luxury £100 trainers be claimed to be rioting due to poverty. The freedom to steal whatever you want and destroy your neighbour's property because...

    A sad day for the escapist, as we have lost a dear friend

    My condolences to the OP and the rest of her friends. I only spoke to Kourtney occasionally, but her responses were generally interesting and well-thought-out. She'll be missed here. That said, may I suggest a separate thread be created in [or even this one moved to] the R&P forum? I know it...

    Cheers to you both for the replies. They were more informative than I was hoping for. Thanks!

    Anonymous Denies New Sony Allegations of PSN Involvement

    If a police officer under their own discretion breaks into a house and steals a television, this does not make the police force responsible for theft. Replace that with any organisation of your choosing. Even if it were somebody who also participated in Anonymous' attack who stole the data, it...

    Warhammer 40k

    You seem to be up-to-date. How are Chaos Space Marines faring in the latest edition? If possible, Iron Warriors specifically.

    Are the forums too strict?

    I have a question about that. How does the appeal system work, exactly? How is it decided to sustain or overturn a punishment, and by whom?

    Anonymous Halts Sony Attacks Affecting PSN Users

    Agreed. I'm seeing nothing logical in this. Normally, Anonymous does this sort of thing in an attempt to raise awareness, but they seem to have skipped that portion here. Everybody thinks this is about George Hotz and the Linux-on-PS3 hacking. Though that is a large part, it turns out it is also...

    Anonymous Halts Sony Attacks Affecting PSN Users

    Aaron Barr. If that was a genuine question, you will look up him, his company, what they were doing and what played out when Anonymous got involved.

    THERE'S A BIRD IN MY ROOF AND IT WON'T SHUT THE F**K UP

    First thought: [Source. [http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/05/sneaky-hate-spiral.html]] What type of bird is it?

    Poll: Dragon Age 2 Demo Impressions

    No, you're right. I tend to play healers [or the closest thing to them; I was even a Medic in Mass Effect, foolish person that I am] in this type of game, and found the cooldown in the demo to be long enough that it can only realistically be used once or twice per battle. A far cry from DA:O...

    Poll: Are you a dog or cat person?

    Grin. Got to be dogs. My garden gets a lot of birds, so I've grown up watching them. Cats eat birds. Simple enough equation, even without the inherent likability of almost all dogs.
