A slorg eats you. It hiccups pink sparkly bubbles with rainbows in them.

You get a lockpick. I insert a dilithium crystal.

Ok so I thought I'd start another thread (the last one sure clunked) about education. It has been suggested that the educational system is imperfect, to say the very very least, and that considerable amounts of reform are necessary to ensure quality education for our citizens (feel free to jump...

@joejv4 I think the idea with bringing up medicine and patents is that faulty copyright laws and practices extend beyond the entertainment industry, and can be particularly heinous in some industries such as medicine. Generics for $10 is pretty good compared to the name-brand patented one that's...

Educational equity is a whole other topic, frankly, but since you brought it up: I think the major reason there's differences in education between the rich and the poor has to do with the way the educational system is set up, tax-wise. If schools are supported by property taxes, and the inner...

You believe that #2 there was in the dictionary 700 years ago eh? Used with that meaning in mind colloquially? Really? The word may be 700 years old, but you can't seriously believe the modern publisher didn't add new definitions as the culture saw fit. Similarly: Main Entry: gay...

Seriously. They even botched Star Wars. I was looking forward to the prequels until I realized they were riding their reputation from 30 years ago to sell crap. I also totally agree with your sentiment re: Ashley Simpson and Twilight. Ugh. For the record though, don't go throwing around...

I used to love the Nethack application they have there. I don't play a lot of Facebook games anymore though.

Banned for paying attention to my signature.

You get a superhero power. I insert a USB.

You underdose and die of congestive heart failure. (Take your meds people!)

Banned for promoting Enlightenment ideals rather than Romantic ones.

I have noticed an idea that keeps coming up in this thread, and threads like it, that people dance around but don't actually mention explicitly: the idea that piracy itself is a form of social protest (as Machiavellian as it is). As an American, I remember learning about the founding of my...

I'd hate to be hit by a drunk driver driving a car with a nuclear reactor in it. :dunno:

So I thought I'd try my hand at making another juicy thread that gets people all riled up. It would seem that a lot of thought and debate is put into reproductive ethics. Everything from abortion, to contraception, to masturbation, to gay rights, to eugenics... Anyone have any idea why this...

Misleading poll. I had always thought it is best to exploit what is available in abundance locally. If you're in Chicago and there's lots of wind in surrounding areas, build a windmill farm. If you live in a city with large rivers, harvest hydro power. If the weather is usually sunny, why not...

And here I had thought the current situation mirrors similar situations in history, and that the current recession reflects certain cultural and societal problems than never do quite get solved. Things like short-sightedness, self-interest at the expense of the greater good, social Darwinism...

Banned for not showing proper respect for the late.

Death comes swiftly in the night Guided forth on a black wind Gently, deftly, it claims its victim Leaving naught but silence in its wake. Bahahaha! :facesjump
