I didn't say I disagreed with the article. In fact, I summarized the article very succinctly. Patricia spends thousands of words on this subject, and frankly she's tread this ground into a muddy trench. She's just writing the same old "look how terrible we are" article over and over again, and all that really needs…

If terrorists had left a "lol just kidding" threat prior to half the stuff they do should the authorities just brush it off as a joke even though they may not carry out their threat for little while after making the threat, but carrying it out all the same?

The 20 word summary is useful, no doubt, but it doesn't replace the articles written for detail

Where did I say being a dick was okay? Where did I say it was appropriate?

Free to be a dick does not also mean free from consequence.

This was my exact thought as well.

It's not cool to be a dick, but you should be free to be one if you want to be.

My thumbsticks aren't oriented as "up" or "down." If they were, then pushing "up" on the left stick would rocket me into the air, and "down" would sink me into the ground.

Life must be very difficult for you, not being able to comprehend any situation in more than one context.

I can't believe how fucking serious some of you are taking this. It's supposed to be absurd. Some of you need to lighten the fuck up.

Are you fucking kidding?

I've always kinda had the hots for the infield fly rule.

Why, are you looking to start a support group?

I honestly can't believe anyone even cares anymore.

But we would see a much more reaslistic and impressive crash. Tumbling down a mountain shouldn't look like riding the Blue Wave at Hurricane Harbor.

Nitpicky demands from people like me are the reason nice things exist to begin with.

This is as realistic as it would look in real life.

So poor women without much recourse are turning to prostitution to make ends meet.

What exactly is supposed to be so impressive here? I didn't see anything that looked any better than a crash in one of the Burnout games. At least in those games the cars aren't coated in Teflon.

Because my girlfriend probably isn't that interested in hearing about some squealy-voiced 13-year-old's opinions about minorities while I'm playing Call of Duty.
