In my personal opinion and experience, it's because emotions are by nature unstable. As we grow, our perspective changes, as does what makes us happy. Even on a day-to-day basis, a similar variety of factors can keep a person ecstatic one day and miserable the next. And in the grand scheme of...

Internally, I can rage with the best of 'em, and my internal dialogue towards many people I interact with (but don't care about, i.e. customers) is pretty damn harsh. That being said, it goes COMPLETELY against my nature to say anything to their face. Hell, that's true even in video games; I...

Modern Warfare. I've got a long-standing arrangement with FPS games that if they stop shooting me in the head, I'll play them again...but I played 3 rounds of Modern Warfare where I a) got killed more times than the rest of both teams combined and b) first earned the nickname "rocket magnet." I...

Mine is Normandy, lovingly named after Mass Effect

Been about a year since I've attended but I hit my black belt in Tae Kwan Doe.

ideal outfit is my epic paladin shirt, N7 sweater, and starcraft messenger bag with laptop ...GEEK POWER!

That'd definitely be fun; I would love to call Illidan, Arthas, Tychus, Alistair, Leilana or Sylvanas to dinner XD Whether or not I'd actually do so...well, we'll see ;)

Commander Shepard, Mass Effect

Mh. The plot of the series itself is what tends to piss me off...that and the fact that you can't throw a stick of dynamite without hitting something twilight-related (one of the few perks of the hype, I'll freely admit). This franchise does not deserve the hype it receives. I've actually...

Mh. I've...got some friends, but I've been living in my own little world since I was 7. I don't usually mind not seeing my friends for weeks on end; I know I'll see 'em soon enough, good times will be had, yadda yadda. That being said, when I'm feeding trade trolls in WoW at 4 in the morning...

Being something of a black heart, any romance you can see coming from the opening credits tends to piss me off to no small end. However, the one truly unforgiveable cliche is anything featuring "The Chosen One." It was one of the many factors that ruined Star Wars, and quite simply needs to go...

A fine point was brought up; are we talking movie or comic versions? Comic Batman vs comic Iron Man, I'd honestly place my money on Batman. Rich and smart as Tony Stark is, Bruce Wayne has manhandled pretty much every superhero in the DC universe...most of whom could could crush Iron Man...

Hm. You raise a good point, much as I hate to admit it. Still would have preferred the government not step in...but if the company does wind up sinking, it will at least there's something to keep its death throes to minimum. And like I said...I would have no problems skimming some more off...

Ah, so it wasn't a troll, good to know. I think we should have let the supposedly "too big to fail" businesses crash or stay in the air on their own initiative. The mere fact that they were, in fact, failing should not have been a signal for the government to step in and use the public's money...

Q: Do You think you could take a life to defend your own. I answered "I'm honestly not sure" for this. I believe if the chips were down I would be capable...but I instinctively apologize if I so much as scuff someone's shoe...or if I actually hit someone at Tae Kwan Doe rather than simply spar...
