    All of which doesn't make it a myth. How can it be a myth if it happens? The author is the ultimate troll.

    The difference between "vegetarian" and "vegan" is that the first is generally mildly malnourished and disease ridden while the second is severely malnourished, disease-ridden, and is usually agressive to the point of being annoying. Both classes are easy to beat in a fight, though, so don't worry about them.

    This doping is frequently alleged, but I haven't seen any evidence for it. Do you have a link? I've heard that these guys are the most drug-tested athletes in the world.

    The real problem is that for most of the easy questions, almost every contest up there knows the answer. Ken gets those every time because, after 25 times on the show, he has totally mastered the art of the buzz in. I've been watching the show, it's quite frustration to see the easy questions come up and every contestant frantically pushing their button, except Ken, who calmly get it every time.

    Ken is a super smart guy, but the buzzer factor helps ensure he doesn't have a bad night and lose to another smart guy (or girl).

  23. Re:Freedom is worth it on EU Pushes to Limit Internet Speech · · Score: 1
    Most large nations use to be Judeo-Cristian in their main belief system? Really? The largest nations I can think of, China and India, aren't and weren't. Who says we need a solution? Religious affilitation of any flavor shouldn't be prerequisite for full citizen participation in the state. Fortunately, that's what we have (mostly) and not your theocracy. The fallacy to which you prescribe is that a Judeo-Christion belief system is required to have an inner sens of "ought". Why should I trust anyone who only does what they perceive of as right due to fear of eternal damnation. A multitude of absolute moral systems looks pretty fucking subjective to the outside observer. Don't like a particular ethical code? Great, just change you religous framework to one of the thousands of alternatives and you can have a different one plus the dubious claim that your moral system is absolute instead of relative.

    You're still a relativist, you just don't know it.

    Math is in no way, shape, or form like morality. Otherwise, splendid metaphor - that cleared things right up.
