Because clearly there weren't any shootings prior to the advent of video games...<a href=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Whitman>oh wait. Their argument is sad and tired and I think PA summarized it nicely, "It is a very odd sort of Patriot that would destroy the First Amendment to...

Just as a random aside, I approve of this word. Though as I think others have already pointed out, it doesn't quite fit. Still a good word though.

Let's see, I believe Fenris and Ezio have already been mentioned, so I'll just add these two:

I would definitely agree with this. When Connors started having the internal lizard dialogue about being all powerful, I automatically assumed the serum was making him crazy. But that's my default state when watching a superhero movie. You get powers and you're either A) going to become the Hero...

Early Sunday morn The light shines in my window I love sleeping in Sunday afternoon Help Mother in the garden I hate Father's day

^Truth. Bitching can be fun and stress relieving at times, but is better in small doses. Sometimes I have to force myself to step back and just look at all the shit that I have and be grateful. As for the optimism/pessimism question: I tend to fall on the optimism side, with a few cynical...

BURNING PEOPLE! He says what we're all thinking ...erm. Yes. I knew in advance that it was him, so I was listening for it. Tenzin--leaving his mother out of the conversation--tends to be a little bit more...subdued than Cave. Though he does have his moments. I'm interested to see more of his...

Don't worry, you're not the only one. I loved the whole Roaring Twenties steampunk vibe the premiere set. I'm really hoping Nickelodean will eventually release some kind of official soundtrack, from the first series and this one. And Cave Johnson is Korra's airbending teacher. I call that a...

"That's everything. No weapons... no friends... no hope. Take all that away, and what's left?" "Me." "Dresden. It's nice to see you alive. Your sense of humor, of course, remains unchanged, which is unsurprising, as it seems to have died in your adolescence. Presumably, it entered into a...

Annnnnd that brings us full circle to my original point. No, obviously not everyone does that, but there are people who do--of either gender--and they are commonly called "Nice Guys/Girls", which can lead to confusion when these threads pop up.

Do I hate them for what, exactly? I think you're still kinda missing the point. Obviously people can't help how they feel, but they can control how they behave. The specific type of people I'm talking about are jerks. Do I hate jerks? Kind of. The people that I was referring to are those who...

Uhhh, I think you may have misunderstood what I was saying; it looks like Phasmal's got it covered though. See below. Pretty much this. And it's the "pretend-friend" people I have issues with. They are the creepers I was referring to.

Bolded for truth, and it's one of the complaints I see a lot. "But I'm so nice, why doesn't she like me?" Maybe the word is supposed to encapsulate a broader meaning--the way Nice Guy tends to refer to that very particular flavor of asshole--but when I hear people say, "I'm nice," all I can...

Welcome to the Escapist, please enjoy your stay. Now then, with respect, I disagree. Your post was well written and thoughtful, but I simply don't agree with your main themes. Perhaps it has to do with how each person plays their Shepard, but thinking about it, the main themes present in...

There's a quote from Gavin De Becker I'm rather fond of, "It is understandable that the perspectives of men and women on safety are so different--men and women live in different worlds...at core, men are afraid women will laugh at them, while at core, women are afraid men will kill them."...
