    You're FSM-right we don't. We're supposed to be the good guys here.

    This asshole (allegedly) blackmailed 350 people. I say allegedly because he hasn't been convicted in a court of law, which again, is the way we do things around here. You know, in motherfucking civilization.

    This is not the victim's fault. What the hell is wrong with you people?

    By placing this virus into Monsanto's Family-Friendly (TM) products, we ensure that a robust resistance to viruses is present not only in our corn, but in the very bodies of the children you love -- and Monsanto love -- so dearly. We've shown that this genetic profile is safe in the lab, safe in the field, and safe in the human body.

    They can put their phone on silent or buzz, and will do so. Jamming all phones so nobody can get any calls is inexcusable and dangerous. If it goes off, it takes just a few moments to head outside to take the call.

    Anyway, there's something to be said for a job where when someone asks you what you do you can reply, "Me? I'm the guy 9-1-1 calls for help."

    Okay, I'll buy that, but why would they have to do that at all? If all the female NPCs have flirty options for males and all the male NPCs have flirty options for women, just use those existing options.

    i.e., change this:

    if( ( player.gender() == male && NPC.gender() == female ) || ( player.gender() == female && NPC.gender() == male ) )
