I believe that the nuclear, traditional family, when done correctly, is still one of the most stable types, especially when children are involved. Yes, there is a high divorce rate. I think that that's more due to the "disposable" nature of marriages, and the fact that couples tend to split...

Dear Anonymous, You aren't a martyr, so stop acting like it. Yes, people are mean to you, but people are mean in general. When you get riled up, you annoy others. It's your fault, your instigation, and then you claim that you can't help it. Honestly? You need to find a way to keep your...

Honestly, I don't think it's ri- Wait! Wait! Let me finish! I don't think it's right, but I also don't see any point in hating homosexuals. Homosexuality is, with a few very rare exceptions, not something that is consciously chosen. People can't be faulted for something they have no control...

Poker Night at the Inventory. Well, I was. Then I hit a bad streak, and screw that.

Retail's bad, but try managing large groups of small children. Same amount of stupidity, coupled with an abundance of energy, a lack of respect, and the fun times of stupid rules thanks to insurance, and dealing with parents. To the masochists that can deal with that, my hat's off to them...

I could pull the trigger on a shotgun and get knocked off my feet. Still doesn't stop the blast from killing the target. @Razor Leaf: Admittedly, after getting a more accurate article, the word "crazy" wasn't exactly the most accurate. Still, my point stands, though. Accidents due to...

Hearts of Iron III, an electric razor, and some nice cash. Could've been much worse. Now, let's bring the USA into the Axis, shall we?

I'm not arguing that point. I'm arguing that her book is a sham. And it is. She may be making a valid point, but skewing data to make a valid point is still a bad argument. Yes, there is an economic crisis. But she's basically stating that a single, capable person, with no family or anyone to...

It's an interesting read, but she deliberately scuttles herself. Entertaining? Yes. Proof that the American wealthy are enslaving the poor? No.

Europa Universalis 3 Oppressing the natives, selling slaves, and declaring several wars in the name of conquest never felt so good.

...Nickel and Dimed. Very impressive at first, but it quickly becomes a sham once you dig deeper. Her whole "experiment" is a joke.

Anyway. Birthday tomorrow. :/ Fun times with a research paper about- Wait, no. I don't want to get into a stupid argument over a worthless author.

Guns don't kill people, video games kill people? Please. A kid hacked his father to death over WoW a few years ago. And yet, this generation hasn't turned into bloodthirsty zombies, hungry for the Internet and human flesh. Not the shooters. Not the technology. Maybe not even the parents...

Turning- Wait, why am I on here?

Dear Anonymous, I don't like you. I no longer hate you, no longer become furious at the very thought of you, but your name definitely leaves a very resentful feeling. Just the very thought, actually. I've twisted you into an embodiment of everything I hate about myself. The person I hate...
