    Brothers, sisters, siblings in general.

    I think I have a younger sister. I'm not sure any more really. She's bugged the crap out of me ever since we moved into our new house 12 years ago. She thinks she deserves everything to be handed to her on a platter. I recently bought my first widescreen tv, and she won't accept the old one...

    Does the news media go too far?

    It's the opposite. The news media doesn't go far enough. If the public were shown real information concerning "bad things" that happen throughout our lives, there just might be the slimmer of hope and possibility that the viewers will learn from it and better prepare themselves for the next...

    What sports are you currently involved in or have done in your life?

    I did 6 years of baseball, and 4 years of wrestling. Real wrestling, not that crap you see on tv every week. I stopped doing baseball because I hate teamsports. I joined wrestling because when you win you get all the glory. When you lose, you get all the blame. Nothing can refute that...

    Gun Rights

    What about protection from the government? You can have 100 million people protest, but in the long run, it means nothing unless you can physically hurt or kill members of the government. It's the only way to stop tyranny, like what happened in the 1750s.

    Oscars

    Yep, best movie that nobody saw. Pretty much sums up "Hurt Locker." Even "Crash" and "The Pianist" had more ticket sales when they won their respective awards. And "Avatar," beyond overrated. I haven't seen it, I'm not going to see it, and James Cameron is crazy. Or something. 3-D is NOT...

    Worst Movies of All Time

    For comparison "Battlefield: Earth" won the Razzies award for worst picture of the decade. Was released in 2000. I saw it... And, it's bad. Very bad. The acting is beyond pathetic, there's CGI graphics, but there's no CGI graphics, if you get what I mean. Especially after companies like ILM...

    1000 Ways to Die

    I saw a show similar to this several years ago. My favourite was guy getting his head whacked off by helicopter blades. Then there was guy who pissed off a dog and bled to death after having his "unmentionables" chopped off. I just don't understand why they make all these overly-complex ways...

    Helping Random Strangers

    I never help any one. I can't trust any one enough to believe that they won't stab me in the back later or do something stupid and destroy all I did for them in the first place. I fully comprehend poverty and the fact that people wouldn't have any luck at all if they didn't have bad luck, but...

    If you could shake the hand of any person in history, who would it be?

    Either Thomas Jefferson or Жосеф Сталин. Joseph Stalin. TJ because he helped Washington both directly and indirectly against the British. He fully understood real liberty and had a great idea of how government should be, basing most of his ideals off of the British government. He held...

    How and when do you think the world will end

    Ugh... Ugh... The next even remotely possible impact is 2037, within our lifetimes, and even that is roughly a 0.00043% chance. After that is 2043ish, again in our lifetimes, and is 0.00047% chance, assuming everything goes wrong, which we only know a few things that could go wrong. Why does...

    You'd think with all that technology...

    Well, as Advent Children (Yes, I'm going there) showed, it's very possible for all the people in all the FFs to find random sources of energy without going down Earth's history of coal, oil, then nuclear, not to mention all the stuff we're getting started in now. Therefore, it's fairly easy to...

    [V2] Which FF Game are you currently playing?

    I'm... sort of, doing XI, but I'll probably quit by the end of the month. It's beyond frustrating to start from the beginning now. So, I'm pretty much playing VII. It's been FAR and away too long since I've play it, and I'm forgetting so many thing that I feel I'm just spamming the VII board...

    Two/Three/Four heads are better than One?

    Whoa, whoa, whoa... You guys got it all wrong. Replay the game all the way until Tidus finishes Besaid's cloister and enters the final room with Wakka. It's incredibly subtly hinted at there. Guardians go in to ensure no one else goes in. Yes, yes, Yevon is in the blood of these people...

    How and when do you think the world will end

    Roughly 6 billion years from now (Give or take a few decades), the sun will expand at a fast rate than gravity will push our little planet away from it. At which point, we'll all return to where we came from, the sun. If you're wanting an answer that occurs sooner than that... We'll meet some...

    Curved grading

    Has to be, far and away, the dumbest thing I've ever heard out of the 90s, possibly 80s. Yes, let us reward those who failed, and punish those who succeeded. Thus far, in all of my COLLEGE classes, the grades have been curved, and 90% of the time, based off my test. I feel great knowing I...

    The "I don't particularly give a shit about FFXIII" thread

    I know I'm not buying it. In fact, I bought Silent Hill 2 instead.

    The Definition of "Normal"

    "Normal" is when some one agrees completely on everything I believe and think. Normal occurs when some one acts in similar fashions as myself, and conducts themselves in public as I would. Normal can only truly exist when the people around me act and behave in public and private as either I...

    Are you afraid to die?

    It's easy to not fear death when you're posting on the internet, in your heating/AC, with plentiful food in the 'fridge, plumbing, lights, roof over head... Totally different when (HYPOTHETICALLY, please don't attack me for the sake of my using of myself in this example) I barge into your house...

    Which FFs would you classify as "dark?"

    I don't really see any of the FFs as dark. They definitely delve fully into the world of politics and governing systems in virtually all of them though, and how politics and government shapes the common people's lives. I'll admit for the millionth time I've not played much of VI or earlier, so...

    How important are character relationships to you?

    I'll tolerate virtually any type of character relationship... As long as it is at least strong enough to convince me that the characters actually WANT to stick around each other and not leave for other random hobbies. Like, Tetra Master. I am perfectly fine with any type of romance thingy, as...
