    Do you feel bad about "the starving kids in Africa" ?

    Food for thought (haha. terrible pun. I'm a dick, I know): Those "feed the starving children" ads are awefully long... and usually run when there's a lot of eyeballs fixed on the tv. How much do those commercial spots cost? Wonder how many kids they could feed with that money. Yeah, I know...

    Abortion....why?

    I hope every baby Christian pro-lifers save grows up to be gay and/or transgendered.

    Our on-the-job-training instructor is a power-hungry (insert descriptor here)

    The more I talk to people, the more I'm finding out they DO feel the same way. He's been a permanant fixture, though, and everyone seems to take the "eh, there's nothing we can do, so we just deal with it" stance. That, or he's -just- buddy-buddy enough with people to get by. (They probably like...

    Our on-the-job-training instructor is a power-hungry (insert descriptor here)

    In 4 and a half years, he hasn't been fired... and unfortunately, we're union now, so he's basically untouchable unless -management- has photographic evidence of a screw up. =/ At least I'm not alone... you're right, every workplace usually has "the tosspot." We're merging with another company...

    Our on-the-job-training instructor is a power-hungry (insert descriptor here)

    Seriously. =/ He was moved to our shift because we didn't have an instructor, but he doesn't actually DO much aside from remind people he's the "only" (one of our supervisors can do this as well) one who can sign us off on training. During our down-time, he does nothing but play cards or games...

    "Harris' Law" and Internet Empathy

    I don't think it will ever entirely be a case of "all is lost" as you seem to imply it will. There will always be people who are indeed total f*ckwads, and yet there will be people who remain civil whether they are anonymous or not. imo, that latter group possesses a much stronger moral...

    Poll: Is young love a thing?

    At that age, there may be something akin to love, like the first inklings of the feeling, but I have to agree with what the second poster said way up there - you're still developing. Your body AND mind are going through a lot of changes. What you feel now in all likelihood is NOT what you will...

    The fun facts thread.

    It is illegal to ship live bees to England. ...nothing is mentioned of -dead- bees, however. Either way, good luck getting that through customs.

    Poll: Which Anime Character would win- Alucard(Hellsing), Dante(Devil May Cry), or Sebastion(Black Butler)

    XD I was just having this conversation with my friend last week... only it didn't include Dante. Personally, I think Sebastian would win. Alucard may be a vampire with 3 million (or was it 30 million?) lives, but Sebastian is a demon, and so far the only way we know to kill one of his kind is...

    Poll: Do you support Eugenics? (Poll)

    Maybe not for "desirable" heritable characteristics (who would get to decide what's desirable, anyway? A group of biased scientists? A government-funded study? Hollywood? The megacorps funding the project?) If anything, I'd rather see it for economic "classes". It seems people with much lower...

    I'm buying a boat, and she'll need a name. Suggestions?

    UR MOM. Seriously. "whacha doin?" "I'm motorboatin' URMOM. I'mma ride her out to the middle of the lake, then fish off her ass. Oh yeah, some of my buddies on here too. We're all riding URMOM today" Or Imonna. As in... "I'm on a boat"

    Burger King Deposes King Character

    ...putting avacados on something does not make it healthy. It just puts avacados on something. To my knowledge, there is NO food, diet pop included, that CANCELS OUT the unhealthy content of the rest of the meal. If they were really offering "healthy" food, it'd be all that expensive, local...

    Do american's dislike canadians?

    I have no problem with Canadians. I have a problem with people who use apostrophies to pluralize things.

    50 Americanisms That Brits Apparently Hate

    "bi-weekly" because no one in America knows what a "fortnight" is. Also, "deplane" ...we use this all the time at work (helpful to note: I work for an airline). I don't hear it used much in announcement to passengers, but it's used all the time in Ops and our various notes and work-related...

    JRPGs

    For everyone claiming JPRGs all reuse the same cliches and character archetypes, isn't the same true of WRPGs? Possibly even to a greater degree? All the ones I see (but don't even bother with because they all seem so same-y) are about a lone, muscle-bound male protagonist with mad skills in...
