    Poll: Water Reclamation

    I have a paper that I need to write, and I thought I would get public consensus about whether the public would accept the consumption of high-grade reclaimed water, so I included this question just to see what people on the Escapist think. Feel free to comment and give your opinions.

    Worst time to reload ever

    There have been so many times that I have been fighting a boss or been in an intense firefight and had to reload. This breaks up gameplay at in the best situation or ends up with you having to start the level over again at the worst. One example was the time when I was playing the old Ghost...

    Poll: Puns

    So there was this guy, he owned a liquor store. It was the Friday before superbowl Sunday and he realized he had run out of a bunch of hard liquors. Feeling the imminent crisis of not having a proper inventory for the big day, he called to order some new stock. Unfortunately, the shipping...

    Poll: Who makes a better Colonel O'Neil?

    I just finished the original Stargate movie, and I'm a regular viewer of SG-1, so I was wondering the public opinion about who makes a better Jack O'Niel: Kurt Russel or Richard Dean Anderson.

    Poll: Can someone tell me how this is unanswerable??

    I dunno, it's kind of like the same dilemma as Schroedinger's cat. We cannot know if the tree did make a sound or not because we do not know all of the parameters of the tree falling or, for that matter, we don't even know if sound waves exist. We cannot know anything except for the existence of...

    When was the last time you had a civilized political/religious discussion?

    See, I don't take offense to having a discussion about religion. What I do have a bit of a problem with is when there's some atheist who comes up to me and says that my religion is wrong just because they said so and then says to all of their friends that they're being objective. Atheists can...

    Socialism reminds me of a religion.

    I'm sorry, I unfortunately made some writing errors in my post. What I was trying to say was that "modern communism" is not communism at all and that associating modern communism with communism is vastly incorrect.

    Socialism reminds me of a religion.

    I understand that there are bitter feelings towards the inhumane treatment of those who are less fortunate in capitalism. One example, that I heard from the Colorado State Speaker of the House (who actually does know what he's talking about), was his life story. He grew up in one of the worst...

    Socialism reminds me of a religion.

    But definitions are flimsy things that break under the stress of reality. The reality of modern communism (take in mind that modern communism has absolutely nothing to do with theoretical communism) is more akin to a dictatorship than it is to its definition. Unfortunately, that's how reality...

    Poll: Whats so bad about Socialism

    Lonan, I am sorry. I did mean to say surgery times instead of MRI times and meant no offense to you or Canada at all. I am prejudiced against government control because the government is run by people, and people are human, so to speak. But really, I was way out of line and I apologize.

    Poll: Whats so bad about Socialism

    Both facism and the totalitarian dictatorship that Russia claimed to communism are actually extreme forms of socialism. That't the problem with socialism. "Power tends to corrupt, absolute power corrupts absolutely" -John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton. If you give too much power to the...

    Poll: Greatest FPS of all time?

    Original Metroid Prime. While it was a little annoying at times, there is no better way to spend a day of gaming: listening to japanese techno whilst shooting a giant, sword-wielding, mutant flower.
