With the passing of time, this whole Mass Effect thing has turned from anger to sadness. I mean it. I had a flash back of sorts to playing the game and then the end, and I just remember being stunned at that ending. Stunned. It is perhaps the #1 biggest disappointed I've ever experienced in any entertainment…

Thanks for sharing that! It was a very time worthy read and it certainly moved my knowledge of the issue up a few notches. I should like to say one thing though, and I am not about to contradict anything I read in there (I simply don't care enough to put the effort into referencing all the claims she made), but the…

No, no - I have South Korean friends (sorry if that sounds contrived) why would you assume that I have any disrespect for the country or her people, I just find the whole plastic surgery issue sad, that's all. If the circumstances would be the same here in Canada, I'd have the same issue with it, and would have…

Umm, no, Korea is sort of defined today as a territory, comprised of two countries, entirely independent of one another. To call it "Korea" and automatically imply South Korea is wrong and self-righteous. If you want to refer to South Korea you have to state it, or at least not argue it when it does get brought up. …

Yes but your sources are secondary too, you don't represent a plethora of knowledge about your society, country, or culture. A well informed source far removed from the centre can be far more valid than someone standing right by the source who doesn't see things objectively. You read into comments what you want to…

Damn, now I feel bad for replying to your other comment...seeing how deeply rooted you inferiority complex is. Jesus writes some of the best stuff on here, and while I too have had my disagreements with some of his views, they are still great pieces to debate. Attacking his name and background and discrediting his…

How did I shame South Korea? What I wrote came from the mouths of friends all of whom are South Koreans, residing in Korea, including a lady who is in the "beauty industry". And I have read about this when I was thinking (and decided not to) pursue employment opportunities in South Korea. I absolutely am not…

It's not strange actually, though it is kind of sad. It all started off with Asian girls, (mostly in Japan and South Korea) really wanting to look more like Caucasian girls (the surgeries were centered around rhinoplasty and blepharoplasty, and it was done mostly by those with higher incomes, but the fad caught on…

It's cool without a doubt, but but it's really just a baby step compared to the EdgeWalk that Toronto's CN tower hosts. Although to be fair, the cost of the edgewalk is quite high, though it's one of those things I'd only (never) do once in a lifetime.

I read what you have written carefully, and just so we're cool on some basics, I am an educated man who understands the importance of statistics, but I'm also gay, and I was a blood donor until my first sexual contact with another man at the age of 26, and I refused to lie during the consequent blood donation. I…

So why not go a step further and stop taking blood from males, given that a gay man is a male, so by definition the probability that a gay man is also a male is 100% so ... You get where I'm going with this? I mean really why stop with the gay issue? You're probably thinking how ridiculous that would be, and I…

Yes it is, because if the issue is infection, then the blood of a heterosexual and a homosexual should be put under exactly the same scrutiny. I am unaware of any STI that only occurs in gays. Are you aware of any? The question that flagged you as high right was based on something that anybody can be at risk at,…

Most relationships are unhealthy, period. Some are downright toxic and futile. The fact of the matter is that most people are hardwired not to look at relationships as a logical, comprehensive partnership, but rather get caught up in emotions and stupid hopes and dreams. I read it in multiple places that people…

I welcome such positive information. Thank you.

The proper distance/size to scale between the our planet the the moon never seizes to amaze me - and the actual photo of it never gets old.

Ha! You said it...but I can't wholeheartedly disagree.

Well Australia has been off the list for a while, apparently NZ is coming off the list now too.

I tend to be a conservationist, heck, I even pick up worms and snails from the sidewalk after a rain and put them back on grass (yes, really) but I hate, to the core absolutely detest skunks and I was so happy when the city council in my city (Windsor, Ontario) voted to do something about the abhorrent skunk problem -…

Good looking guy with mostly good moves.

Serious question: will insurance cover this (regarding the vehicles) even if, say, the owner of the car was one of those who complained, thus, they were aware of the problem before the loss occurred? Will the insurance companies work with the clients, or try to get out of it any way they can? Anyone have experience…
