Thanks to everyone who sent me recommendations on a new blog service. Special thanks to CanadiAnne for creating a WordPress account for the specific purpose of troubleshooting the issue, and finding the fix by adding a specific combination of apps and filters to my browser. We’ll remain here until the next thumbs-down. Or maybe earlier, I’ve heard very good things about blogspot.
LOL that ESPN 30 for 30 special on the Red Sox 3-0 series comeback is so epic. The best part so far was when the butthurt Yankees fans were throwing shit on the field because A-Rod got caught cheating. -shyguy5676
MLB Productions did a great job. I expected them to gloss over or not mention the dubious parts of that series, but they showed the warts and all.
Should I start watching Prison Break or Deadwood? I’ve already seen The Sopranos, 24, Lost, Heroes and Nip Tuck. I’m already into Dexter and following this season. And I’m up to season 4 of The Wire. -Jeremeier
Only the first season of Prison Break is worth watching. The Deadwood catalog is boss. Get you some.
if you were granted one request by god to change the world, what would you ask him for? -roastinglikeever
I’d need a lot of consideration. Id wish for him to “become a little more involved in the people of Earths well being” or even “Set everyone straight on which religion is accurate.”
Do you consider yourself different from other people? -aeyxes
I’m unique, just like everyone else. Doesn’t make me better in any way, though.
Louis CK > George Carlin. After his latest stand up, he officially moved to the number 1 spot. He’s a hit and no miss comedian. -VandRandV
Carlin did a lot for the prestige of comedy. He ended his career a pompous, bitter, social commentator more than a comedian. Louis CK hasn’t even come close to the level of traditional success of Carlin. He’s being edgier in a time that’s much more difficult to be so, but if Henny Youngman opened the doors of edgy comedy, Carlin opened it up with an axe and a crazed look, Shining style. In short, if your argument is Louis CK > Carlin, best comedian ever, you’re going to come off sounding arrogant because of the levels of esteem and success Carlin was able to achieve. if our argument is Louis > Carlin for your comedy enjoyment, personally, then that’s cool, I’m right there with you.
Do you consider it wrong for people to “fall in love” with “fictional” characters? It’s something that’s become somewhat accepted in the anime community. I know the majority of you here think it’s weird but I want to hear your perspective. “Love” meaning going beyond simply being attracted to someone, but feeling deeply emotionally attached to. Is the fact that you can’t actually interact with someone a significant enough barrier to where you shouldn’t be able to “love” them or the qualities that they represent? Do you think I’m just a socially-deprived loser who lacks the ability to find “real love” so turned to anime instead? -Azu-Nyan
Love is a mutual concept. It’s a two way street. It’s impossible to love something that doesn’t know you exist. That’s called lust. And knock yourself out with lust. All day long. Fine by me. But when you compare what you have vs people who have to put effort into making a loving relationship worthy, then you are an embarrassment to humans, and a failure to yourself.
A man can beat his wife and kids as long as he leaves no physical marks, the United Arab Emirates’ highest court has found. Reaction? -NeedInput
I bet theres still way more domestic violence in America.
SCENARIO:Your GF steps on Christian Bales shoes in public and he starts yelling at her. What do you do, hotshot? -codmohcommander
We turn our back on him and walk away. I bet that would piss him off more than anything we could say.
Should immigrants be forced to learn the language of the nation they move to? -ZombieImplants
No. People should choose to do it because communication could be necessary to saving your life and the lives of people you love, among one of the many obvious examples of how to use society to your benefit. But no one should be forced to do anything, in a free country. That’s kind of the point, and makes you just as retarded as the people who choose not to.
Do you buy a lot of dvds/blurays? I personally buy tons of dvds and they really stack up. Pickin up predator along with Fallout later. Just wondering as I know lots of people just download them nowadays. I have been buying lots of blurays lately too. -sgilatapus
I have like my top 5-10 movies or so on Blu-ray/DVD. The only time I watch them is with friends who haven’t seen the movie. When the movie is on TV, I’ll watch until the first commercial to catch a vibe and if I want to see it, I play the DVD, if not, I turn the channel. I absolutely refuse to watch a movie on TV (unless its on HBO or Showtime) that I have on DVD. Makes me feel like I’m a retard, watching the edited, commercial filled version.
