Heck. A bunch of people said they weren't going to buy a game (MW 3 I think) and then checking their steam pages and they all (well many) had it first day.

You are aware that Nike and Walmart are doing quite well right now, right?

:(

It really isn't good to conflate different views. It subtracts from arguments against all of them.

I wonder if it's usually "heart wrenching stories" simply because it plays better with voters. Seriously I doubt many Dems wouldn't vote for someone who wasn't happy about theirs but I guarantee some moderate Repubs and or non-affiliates would vote for one and not for someone who puts a positive spin on it.

Kat your take on serious issues always make me laugh a bit. Have you ever thought of writing comedy (seriously your quite good).

That he was mentally ill and a misogynist (other than his rants, his parents tried to get him committed and he had seen a counselor until he was of an age to choose to stop I believe). Though they are saying that bullying is bad on them (and not saying from what I saw) that it has anything to do with misogyny. So I…

I'm actually some what familiar with that theory. Thanks for giving me the studies name. I really wanted to see how they did it and if it figured in the (I forget the name) but the group theory that argues hateful terms have less of an effect on those people (psychologically and individually) than similar terms do on…

Ah. Thanks. That makes a little more sense.

Oh I in no way think that it doesn't suck to be young (like school young). I'm just wondering how much violence is a result of that (and illnesses caused by that) and how much is a result of illnesses that tend to be thought of as always being in a subject.

Well if they aren't outliers this should be a more common occurrence. Is it (like I don't have a clue on how common this is)?

Yes and no (to your personality argument). Israel used female infantry and they were able to perform more or less on par. Now I don't know whether they were assigned to infantry or volunteered, but in general a lot of the "nature" (not all as testosterone does to a point increase aggression (generally when it…

Regular infantry? Marine Corps rifleman (MOS 0311) do more routine hikes during training than their more specialized infantry compatriots (though at a little less weight). They also ten to do foot patrols more often (though the USMC will send other 03 MOS' to do foot patrols, usually without their heavier equipment…

Oh. Sorry. Should have been more clear. I meant the military.

Quite possibly. I went to both as a child. so I could quite possibly be mixing up doctrines. I was mostly going on the Lord's Prayer which says to forgive those who trespass against us.

Except from a doctrinal stand point the Catholic church has always claimed that you must forgive those who harm you for your own good. Not that they always practice what they preach, but from a doctrinal sense Catholicism requires forgiveness regardless of justice.

Law isn't a fugitive. He isn't wanted. They wanted him to testify before a grand jury but didn't ever put out an order to arrest him. Since he isn't wanted (in numerous ways :P) he isn't a fugitive.

I don't think it's exploitative. It isn't a good deal but the negative parts are pretty obvious even without joining (shitty pay, lots of time in close proximity of others, bullying). Actually in a number of ways it's a lot like high-school.

I would say part of my problem with casually using slur or sluir-like language is a lack of empathy for the harm some feel at them. I'm predominately German and Irish for instance. But the negative stereotypes and terms for these groups make me chuckle. I often refer to myself as a Mc or a Kraut and have no problem…
