  1. I once got a dollar stolen from me in Sunday School. Other than that, no.
  2. Do it. You'll feel better if you accomplish something.
  3. Shift your focus. What did they give you when they were around? Was it really so great? Most people can be replaced.
  4. I wish I still had my art supplies. Do you draw or paint?
  5. How do you accidentally stab your toe?
  6. Not many places accept dogs due to their low IQ.
  7. Someone has to pull Tonton's weight.
  8. I know the person who made that gif. Wonder how they're doing.
  9. @Esau: I see what you're getting at. They don't compare well in practice. In my defense, I was arguing from an ethical point of view when I started out.
  10. I've played it as Hextator said. It was called Telephone.
  11. The difference between a picture of a chair and a chair becomes blurred with the invention of 3D printing. If I think a chair looks nice but the price is too high, I may buy materials and make it myself for a much lower price or buy from someone else who did the same. Patents are the equivalent of copyrights in the physical world, but they will become nearly identical when you can download any design and create it at home.
  12. Nothing terrible happens if someone does not buy a product. Whether it is physical or digital, the burden falls on the creator to make people want to pay. People are not obligated to buy things when they pass them in the store. People pay for the higher quality and cheaper model every time because they are only looking for how they will profit, not how the other side will. From a customer perspective, they are looking for a mutually beneficial trade and they are getting ripped off if the artist charges more for a product and requires more hassle to acquire it than another supplier. They don't feel the situation is mutually beneficial when better options are on the table, so they'll go to a different store instead of buying from the source. It's the same with piracy. People should be compensated for their works voluntarily. I love compensating artists. If more of my money goes to the artist, I'm willing to pay a higher price for the same product. Despite that, I can't help but get angry when someone is physically accosted and labeled a criminal because they didn't think the artist's offer was an even trade. Enjoying someone else's work without helping them out is a bad move, but arresting people ruins lives. Which is worse: listening to a person play a song and then leaving without dropping change into their cup, or arresting someone because they refused to leave change? I say that arresting them is worse every time. Some services have innovated to a point where piracy is less appealing than paying. Netflix, for example. I pay for and use Netflix because it offers convenience and affordability that no individual television channel offers and it's usually much easier and higher quality than piracy. Others will follow if they really want to cut down on piracy. Innovation is the only thing that's working, and it's doing so without hurting anyone.
  13. If they would, then it's inaccurate to call them bisexual because they aren't attracted to just two sexes or genders. I was going to say intersex. Not sure why I changed. Side note: true hermaphrodite humans do exist, but they're even more rare.
  14. There is a distinction. Bisexuals are exclusively attracted to the two binary sexes while pansexuals aren't. Pansexuals would bang a hermaphrodite if they were attractive enough.
  15. To all: For any other extended personality description, replace ISFP with your type in the URL. Example (with my type): http://www.personalitypage.com/ENTP.html An in-depth description: Source: http://www.personalitypage.com/ISFP.html
  16. You could say that. Domestic violence and rape are higher for bisexuals than any other group because they are viewed as unfaithful no matter who they happen to be with. Pansexuality is mostly the same as bisexuality. It's feared for the same reason. People confuse a lack of clear cut preference with a lack of discrimination or an inability to be exclusive to one partner. Bi- and pan-sexuals get derision and distrust from homosexuals and heterosexuals alike.
