I have all the normal fears I guess, but mostly I'm afraid of going mad/people thinking mad..

I believe believing in one theory of the universe without actually having studied and understanding the underlying theory physics etc. involved) is rather silly.

I think this might be the wrong place to ask, if you want a clear and representative answer. The Escapist's members usually pride themselves on being open-minded and somewhat leftist. We also have a nice lack of jocks, overly religious people and other types who *might* have a stronger...

I see a C. *ba-dum-tisch* Edit: I think it looks an abstract painting made out of brown paint/dirt. But no figurative stuff, no.

This, but you really can't ignore The Liveship Traders. It's technically trilogy no. 2 out of the 3. I know a lot of people disregard it, but it's pretty central to the main plot imo. Plus, it's good. I'm also going to throw in Age of Misrule by Mark Chadbourn. It's dark sorta...

Eh, im an atheist too, and i see her point regardless. The genders are different. There will oftentimes be a sexual tension between them, because we, as humans, focus on sex. It's just how it is. Therefore living with roommates of the opposite gender will result in some awkwardsness when...

"Useful" might the wrong term to use. Anti-americanism can be useful in the same way as "socialism" or "anarchism" or "conservatism" can, which is not at all: an ideology is not useful, it cannot be used practically for anything. It can be a legitimate and well-founded belief, but useful? No way.

This is true: good news aren't nearly as interesting as bad and horrible news are.

Yes, but it's not necessarily bad, i'd say. We mature earlier and all that jazz. Generally, boundaries are there to be pushed and broken and maimed by teenagers and adults alike. But i agree, that it's gonna be a problem when we start to use the most extreme superlatavies about everyday...

It's the liquid modernity, mate. Every boundary there is will be pushed, every taboo will be broken (the only ones we really have left are pedophelia and incest). Since the teenagers are "rebelling" and the betweenagers/kids wants to be like their rolemodels (who're teenagers) they start...

I'm Danish so I assumably: -live in Sweden (d'uh) -am blonde (negative) -leftist (true) -am hot (female)(Of course!) -eat tonnes of pork (not true) ..Forgot any? But anyways, Denmark, Sweden and Norway share most of their stereotypes; it comes with being Vikings and socialists.

I admit to liking Dead Poet Society, Animal Farm and - strangely enough - Utopia (by Thomas More). I also read this book by a danish philosopher/psychologist (the details are hazy) called "Se dagens lys" (="See the light of the day"). Analyzing it afterwards nearly killed me -- the...

At first, I thought Oblivion was fantastic (primarily Shivering Isles).. Then I played Mass Effect, and was thoroughly impressed and amazed. An awesome game -- everyone with an interest in RPG should play and love it.

Not necessarily true. While there are the Terra Firma party in a side mission ("Earth first!"), the aliens are also shown to be discriminating a bit against the humans -- the human in the Market District @ The Citadel who wants to return a purchased ware, but cant, while the turian who comes...
