I'm not trying to be mean here, and I personally know people in your position whom I respect. So don't take my comment as an insult... But I have a hard time with this sentiment. I am an obese, virtually uneducated, depressed, cigarette smoking, borderline alcoholic social retard with...

Holy... I just don't get you. At all. It is impossible for my mind to come to grips with such a... different perspective on life. Since my early teenage years - one thing has driven me. I wanted to be my own person. I wanted absolute and unhindered control over my life. I wanted people to...

I'm about a year older than you, and I pay over 6 times that amount (around 627 GBP or 1,000 USD) for bills and rent per month. That doesn't include food or housekeeping - presumably things that are also included in your deal. You're getting off really, really cheap - trust me. My government...

OK, now after reading your reply and cooling off, I'll lose the condescending tone that I adopted earlier for purposes of making my point... I don't often talk like that, but being emotionally affected by this thread, it was difficult not to :) For many things, I agree. However, being a...

Let me preface my response with a little background about how Internet forums, and indeed, any text based form of communication, work. A lot of implicit communication is lost when talking in a pure text environment. I cannot see your face, hear the tiny fluctuations in your voice, or read...

I understand that English is probably not your first language (due to previous grammar mistakes), but as a native (American) English speaker, I have to point out that there was no hint of irony in the post you made that I responded to. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that your...

80%? What is your source? If you have none - what purpose do you serve by stating this? Per what metric do you define stupidity? Are you really suggesting that a 1st world country can be properly run if 80% of the people running it are "stupid" (which, I take to mean: lack of aptitude and...

I truly hope that you aren't posting these links as some sort of proof that America is collectively incompetent. At best, those clips were offensively unrepresentative of the people that were being mocked, and at worst, they constituted harassment. There were no studies, no facts, no logical or...

May I ask why?

Are you sure about that? Or is it just because you inhabit this forum, and have personally communicated with its users, that you claim the average escapist poster isn't a moron? Is it unthinkable that if you were to honestly assess the intelligence of most other groups of people after...

I find these comments rather pathetic. I'm American myself, and have lived here all of my life. The funny thing about this sentiment (every American is STUPID except for me) is that it is shared by virtually every 13-20something American I have met. Ironically, this is an example of the same...

Pastor: Rev Richard J Koch http://archives.umc.org/Directory/ChurchDetails.asp?FAC=76310 I used to walk by the sign with his name every day on my way to school... Cracks me up.

Signed a lease for a house and moved out.

I have been invested in programming for the last 7 years, and have been doing it professionally for 4. I've played with many, many languages and platforms, read many books and practiced many design idioms both inside and outside of production. My current job is for developing web applications in...

It's... OK. Still holding out for the final game though. I can definitely feel the "unfinishedness" of it.
