NO! I only just got myself out of the trap that is tvtropes, and you suck me back in! Oh bugger it all to hell, there goes my afternoon.

It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. If the Americans bombed a village with no terrorists as the OP suggests, then terrorists come to recruit and they join, then now there ARE terrorists. And in that very small-minded view, it's America's fault. Real life is rarely as black and white as that...

Halloween is pretty much the only yearly... day... event... holiday... thing I respect these days. I have fun at christmas with my family, but I don't respect the holiday, for example. The people going out Trick Or Treating or dressing up at school/work aren't even trying to pretend it's about...

Strictly speaking, can't Britain bring in Canada to fight WITH us, rather than against us?

And seeing the results of "casual gaming", do we really want to celebrate that?

Hell yes, Wagamamas is awesome. Love their yaki soba. Now that's some tasty noodles. Anyone who chose spaghetti does not know what a noodle is. And using the term "eastern noodles" doesn't absolve you from your sin either, OP :P Alright, alright, I know spaghetti is a type of noodle really...

Normally I'd agree, but damn, you don't even need the search for this, this topic comes up practically every DAY.

What? No, it's actually spelled Aluminium here in Britain. I notice everyone always forgets the OTHER parts of the British Isles in these discussions. It doesn't just boil down to England, Wales, Scotland (and arguably Northern Ireland, not sure what the official stance there is) when it...

The best assault rifle is one that's as far away from me as possible.

Before you judge someone, walk a mile in their shoes. After that, who cares? They're a mile away, and you have their shoes.
