The best martial arts technique known to man: 1. Appear to cooperate. Hand over what they want, making sure not to give away the fact that you are secretly armed, and hope they don't pat you down. 2. Assuming they then turn to leave, wait for them to get a good bit away, then go for the...

The 'every man for himself' bit is an unfortunate side effect of our pioneering history. This view of the world was necessary back when it was just you, your family, and whatever weapons you could carry against a hostile wilderness, and still has some admirable aspects today (self-sufficiency is...

My goals as leader of the world would be: 1. Freedom of speech and religion. 2. Freedom to pursue personal happiness in any fashion as long as it does not bring harm to another or cause the individual to become a burden on society. 3. Talk loudly, and carry a HUMONGOUS stick. 4...

There are idiots in every country in the world. The problem with the United States is that our media, loving sensationalism and the absurd, promotes these wastes of human flesh to the status of pop icon, rather than ignoring them like any sane person should do. We LOVE the sensational, the...

Yes. I suffer chronic pain, both physical and emotional, both due to being bipolar and due to the permanent, crippling injuries I recieved as a soldier, and later in a massive car crash, and playing games, reading, listening to music all tend to make my conscious perception of pain melt away...

Oh, it exists alright. I am living proof. In 'real' cases, it is almost always an indicator of future mental illness, mainly Bipolar disorder. Real ADD/ADHD is actually a control and cognitive disorder characterized by borderline mania, but since kids are ALL generally a bit on the manic...

I've built dozens of PC's from scratch, populated and set up dozens more while working for a manufacturer, and even put together server cabinets (at the same manufacturer), but I've never been able to break into doing it for a living, because the overhead is steep and the competition is brutal...

If 'torturing' prisoners for information with truth serum, or warping their perception of reality with psychotropic drugs, cosplay and props is evil, then how is punishing a child with a painful chemical any less so? Some twits may argue that the chemical did no real lasting damage to the...
