I hardly ever check out the games section, heh. I prefer making thought-out posts, which tend to be lacking in the "post count doesn't matter" sections. =P

I find it Ironic that I just said that because I mod Other Trivia. XD

I don't lurk anywhere. Besides lurking in a forum sounds kinda meh.
Do someone here actually wastes time by lurking?

I lurk all the time. :x But in all honesty we are all wasting time posting here, too. We could be outside biking or working or something..
 
I think you have some sort of vendetta towards Nica or something. D:

I feel that I'm partially responsible for that. I did tell Elia that Nica was someone she was better off not knowing, after all.
 
Nica's actually pretty nice to people.

I tend to lurk, though it's more when I can't figure out what to say. Which apparently isn't right now. ^^

I also tend to lurk on political threads, as my unorthodox opinions tend to have few followers. xD

I lurk at other sites, usually. (b'-')b

I lurk on political threads because my libertarian ideals just tend to be too libertarian for some people.

In my case it's my anti-capitalist ideals, which tend to wreck havoc on people's opinions. XD

I like capitalism because half of my interests wouldn't exist if it weren't for some capitalist country being entrepreneurial.

Though I personally prefer regulated capitalist markets because then there's something in place to keep corporations under control... for the most part. That said, I think the United States is going about oil the wrong way... especially because it's so vital to the car-based economy in the US. It should be viewed as a strategic resource, in my opinion.

I don't like it because it just causes a few people to get rich at the expense of others. I red in the paper the other day that "if capitalism was brought to the Sahara Desert, sand itself would become scarce." In meaning behind this is irrefutable, at least in my opinion.

As for the oil, I honestly believe that we could have had clean, environmentally friendly water-powered cars years ago if not for the fact that all the oil companies would go out of business. Nobody in power wants that, and thus here we are. In a similar manner, I've heard stories of miners in the Developing world searching for a water source. Upon finding it, they would plug it up and continue "looking." Because, they don't get anything for finding it but the satisfaction of knowing they helped some people out. However, if they continue to look for it, voila! They get a paycheque. And that is a main reason why I'm anti-capitalist.

Some people think I'm a "sick, sick, SICK person" for that though. XD
