  1. I'm not registered with either major party because I feel no sense of loyalty towards their kind. At the national level, I vote democrat because the republican party is broadly overrun by retards and crazies.

    I don't vote third party because I don't see getting up and out to worthlessly throw my vote away as a good way to spend an hour or two.

  2. Although it'd be nice if more effort was spent teaching people how to write well in high school. [...] At my high school at least, there was not enough emphasis on understanding and explaining your own ideas or defending things from a logical and empirical point of view. Of course, the problem with this is that it requires that your English teacher have a decent understanding of science on at least a conceptual level.

    Fucking THIS. In my high school, there was exactly one (perhaps two) English teachers that genuinely tried to get you to write like a thinking adult instead of an infant. One of them came under incredible pressure for it due to the fact that he was failing seniors. (When I had him, they'd moved him to teaching English for juniors.)

    The effects of bad English classes are all around me, even in college. Memorably, I did a collaborative project at the end of the year in one class that saw me stuck as the guy putting everyone's stuff together. I literally had to re-write the work done by two of our group members; the only stuff up to snuff was the GRADUATING SENIOR'S WORK. I was up until around 3 in the morning; actually getting my group members to even GIVE me the material was problem enough!

  3. Fable is a series that, in my view, is noteworthy for being uniformly mediocre with some cool/style points spread throughout to make you not totally forget it.

    Fable 1's well-done soundtrack and extremely colorful nature spring to mind - it evokes the fairy tale atmosphere they were striving for quite well.

  4. It would make it trivial to violate the rules for anyone not speaking English. It also excludes most of the member base from the discussion as a rule.

    Plus, no one wants to read your pig-disgusting taco language.

    Okay that was rude...don't be such a dumbass...

    and besides I´m not Mexican...I´m a Honduran and why did you wrote that. If you don't want to read what´s written in here just ignore it!!!

  5. I think that, in modern film, the PMC is taking the place of the nazi as "completely unsympathetic mook whose violent, screaming death you are allowed to enjoy."

    Have you seen Inglourious Basterds yet?

    Tarantino is one of those guys who can genuinely say "screw the rules" and still make a good movie. As he does many times in Inglourious Basterds.
