I think if got in 3 motorcycle accidents, my brain would recognize my bike as dangerous, and I wouldn't get on it anymore. ^_^
That has nothing to do with what GP or I were talking about: people refusing to see a special effects heavy movie in theaters because they already torrented it.
Your statement leads me to believe that you too are guilty of stereotyping, in that all men suffer a complex that does not allow them to gracefully lose to or compete with a female. When I'm playing Team Fortress 2 and there are females playing, I treat them just the same (as does pretty much everyone on the servers I play) as a male player, unless they start that "OMG you just got beat by a GIRL!" BS like a lot several females I've met playing Halo do.
Let's try a poor analogy here. Say you have to workers in the same profession. Let's say they shovel things. They are shovelers. One loves to shovel. He does everything in his power to become the world's best shoveler. The other one just shows up and does his job so he can get paid and go home. Are they not both shovelers?
- The Gamecube: everything about it. A nasty, tacky piece of junk with no games worth looking at that was put out with the intention of being a serious contender and rightly consigned to third place.
There was no point in reading anything after this statement, as you have already colored your comment as biased and unfounded. The Gamecube gave me hundreds of hours of entertainment, from games like Super Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Skies of Arcadia, Tales of Symphonia, Resident Evil 4, Zelda, and many more.
My boss and I had an interesting conversation about this. He worked with a Chinese woman who was only in the US for a couple years, and she had no idea that her government censored nearly as much as they do. She would even get angry because she thought it was BS that America was making up; her view of her government was that it was perfect. Apparently there's not a large outcry against these actions, because many people within the country don't even realize it's happening.
Why don't you watch rape, torture and (real) murder scenes everyday for a year and then let me know if it did not permanently affect (scar) you in any way
Why don't you quit sensationalizing your arguments in an attempt to cover your lack of evidence or reason?
Really? I'm pretty sure this is exactly what the parent of my original post said:
And people who join the military aren't in it to defend, they're in it for the perks. Getting to kill people is one, as are free food/clothes/housing and job training for when they join the real world.
So I am rebutting a statement that the grandparent post made, and I'm not making a "pathetic attempt to change the subject."
If you look at a military member's base bay (for enlisted anyways) it would be practically impossible to take care of you and your family if you weren't receiving those allowances. A "regular office job" pays you enough that you can provide you and your family with food, clothing, and shelter, so it all works out in the end.
Maybe you just missed it, or maybe you just don't like reading an entire comment before replying to it, but I said working minimum wage for the same number of hours per week as an average military member, which by my experience is at least 45 hours per week. This doesn't include all the 12+ hours per day, 6-7 days per week shifts being worked by deployed members. At 45 hours per week you would make $16,965 at federal minimum wage. Also note that a lot of states have a higher minimum wage than the feds. Also look at that key word up there, "probably." And actually the comment I responded to had nothing to do with Halliburton; the comment I responded to was making a blanket statement insulting military members. But once again, maybe you just don't like reading before you open your mouth.
I truly hope this is sarcastic, because the ignorance of this statement baffles me. To say the military is comprised only of self-serving individuals who seek some sort of sick pleasure from killing people is offensive to everyone who served or is currently serving. Military members don't get free food, clothes, or housing more than anyone else with a job does. There are allowances for these necessities that are simply an extension to a member's base pay, which for enlisted members would be terribly low otherwise. If you worked a minimum wage job for the same number of hours per week as an average military member, you would probably make more money than their monthly base pay.
When I was in school for computer science, I decided to go the military route because I was tired of paying for school, hoping that after four years I could get a job in my field. Getting the military to pay for my education and receiving at least 4 years of work experience with a degree seemed to be the wiser path. Oh yeah, and I was one of the "best and brightest" in my class. Not all of us are screw-ups who couldn't handle it in the "real world."

Ergo, we mostly notice the women who are "dumb" when it comes to anything we care about.
I can't for the life of me put together an ensemble that makes me look good and stand out at a social gathering
has anyone here considered the skill required in putting on a decent face of make-up?
I'm really confused...
Is it common for autistic individuals to reproduce? If not, then non-autistic individuals would definitely be "normal."
...of deploying IPv6? Two years isn't that much time, and I haven't heard much of when IPv6 will be the new standard.
It's a little more tricky in the USA, we just have so damn many congressmen. ^_^
The mugs show images of the Aztec calendar stone and the Pyramid of the Moon from the pre-Aztec ruins of Teotihuacan, near Mexico City.
Looks like it's pictures from ruins, so I really don't think Mexico has a leg to stand on here.
we're not talking about some strange, obscure cult here...
I'm not even an atheist and I think Catholicism is indeed a strange, obscure cult.

What if they're playing on a monitor? I connect my 360 to a PC monitor via VGA.
Smash Bros does not take nearly the amount of muscle memory training or attention to detail that real fighting games require to master.
That has nothing to do with what GP or I were talking about: people refusing to see a special effects heavy movie in theaters because they already torrented it.
I've had friends do the same with other movies that really need to be seen in theater to truly appreciate. Boggles my mind.

Not to mention having to pay child support if you do happen to spread your seed a little too far ^_^

And don't forget that teaser trailer that came out about a year or so ago!

Anyone who doesn't believe the Allis were better than the Axis needs to read up on the Rape of Nanking.
