Actually, you're mistaken.

Exactly.

language is organic and fluid, and changes all the time. "you got to get out of here now!" may not be proper usage but it is common usage. This is a comic book, not a textbook.

that all depends on what's important to you, doesn't it? I find it unlikely that every retailer, grocery store, supplier, manufacturer, etc stands completely contrary to most everything that I find worth ditching their products/services for, don't you? Someone would have to a very long list of very specific, rigid…

what's with the hit and run zombie? Wouldn't it stick around to finish him off? Maybe these are quislings? Maybe this is a short clip from a fake movie within the movie where they say "Yeah it's not like this at all." *sigh*

The other factor to consider when trying to weigh the pros and cons of paying someone else to do something is time, but not your time, their time.

While this is what he said:

you read "Choose Your Own Adventure" Books cover-to-cover, didn't you?

I actually find that it's quite okay to skip certain issues for these big events. Like for Marvel's "Secret Invasion", I skipped almost all of the "Frontline" crap. I could give a care about random reporters caught up in the mix. The Runaways/Avengers and even She-Hulk, FF, Spider-Man books weren't all that central…

yes, though most would just say "you gotta get outta here now!"

While true, not everyone wants to put a dollar value on life experiences. You're welcome to view the world this way, as it seems to work for you, but it's not necessarily for everyone else. I think real-world skills and achievements are priceless. The things listed here, for example, are real world skills, things…

While you do have some valid points, there's something to be said for being able to handle things yourself. It's funny, we pay top dollar for video games that teach us useless skills and give us meaningless achievements, where we learn nothing of value. But when something breaks we'll pay money to learn nothing and…

Wait, I thought being lame WAS cyclops' power?

To me, that says you've bought into that line of thinking. Self fullfilling prophecy, as it were. No one seems to be able to come up with a standard, specific definition, let alone a reliable way of detecting it....which means it falls into the realm of subjective opinion, and really, Faith.

That is one possible explanation, but it's far too convenient "oh, you just didn't know they had talent." The examples I'm thinking of were working with teachers and directors and mentors who also don't believe in talent. I had practical teachers who didn't concern themselves with such things. "Smoothing out the rough…

I'm rather agnostic to the notion of "talent". That word is used a sledgehammer to say some people have talent and others do not (and never will). Ask ten people to define talent, you'll get ten different answers. More likely you'll get puzzled looks and at least one person will scoff at the idea of having to define…

I'd be up front about it. Honesty will drive away the people you don't want to deal with anyway, trust me.

more to the point. Be happy. Make yourself happy. Positive, happy people are attractive. People who are making their own happiness happen tend to attract others. Lower your expectations but NOT your standards. Cast a wide net, but don't feel obligated to go out with every fish.

true, but I've also come to the opinion that some of the crazy stuff they say is liberal-bait. It's an attempt to get liberals distracted by their stupid comments so we're talking about THAT instead of the real issues.

The funny thing is that the Bible actually commands follows to NOT pray publicly. That to do so is to be more concerned with "looking" the part than acting it.
