This was my first RPG. It's been years since I've played it, but I think it's the only RPG that I've done multiple play-throughs of. Wonderful game.

I shouldn't have called you crazy. Rather, I should have been more clear that I was referring to your argument/interpretation of OP's comment, and not you personally. Also, I understand you weren't being literal. But your hyperbole seemed misplaced, and my literalist interpretation of your comment was intended to…

You mean people who are concerned about accurately conveying their intended meaning through words?

Sure, but it's not really a fair argument if you are going to bring in definitions and logic.

Well said. I do not understand why the distinction between active disbelief and non-belief is lost on so many people.

The point was not that white people should be disregarded (or left to die in a fire). It was that looking at a sample that is primarily white is not representative of our generation as a whole, and therefore we should not refer to our generation as the atheist generation without, at least, taking into account the…

You can't rationalize with crazy.

This article doesn't seem to be insulting his belief in God, it is insulting his rejection of evolution and his belief in a 6000 year old Earth. And those beliefs are, to borrow your phrase, cookoo for cocoa puffs.

The bridge that goes over the LIRR on 39th St. between Sunnyside and Astoria always has people riding back and forth doing tricks. I'm not opposed to people doing their thing, but man is that not the place for it (nor is the Willis Ave bridge for that matter).

Can't give you a comparative analysis, but it certainly exists in the outer boroughs. There used to be a group of teen/20/30-somethings on my block that used to fly up and down my block in Queens.

Biked from Queens to the UES for a few years. Three legit accidents, two of which were in Queens. Only time I was ever hit was in Queens. While not statistically significant, I've often found biking in Queens more nerve wracking than Manhattan.

I've tried really hard to like IPA's in general, but I can't. I really thought they'd grow on me, as most things that I dislike at first tend to do. Very little progress.

It does seem that northwestern Brooklyn is going/has gone the way of Manhattan style segregation. No doubt there are still parts of Brooklyn that are more heterogeneous, but for most people who venture out into the boroughs, northwestern BK is all they'll ever see.

Isn't that just it for everything in life? Unions are the problem...except my union. Congress is the problem...except my Congressperson. Social welfare is the problem...except for the benefits I receive.

There was a Daily Show clip a few years ago of Jason Jones in Wasilla, AK talking to people in a bar. At the point the conversation turned to 9/11 one of the men he was speaking with said something like, "Well the actual physical destruction was in New York," to which Jones cut him off and replied, "And the deaths."
