I've been into comic books the past few years. Was excited to see The Rocketeer get a revisit. I've been unemployed and depressed for a while now, and it's the only hobby I've got that I still spend much time with just because it requires so little concentration. I miss reading, but I can hardly...

Unemployment. Depression. Long-distance relationship as a consequence of of 1 & 2. Life fail :applaud:

Don't. Seriously, don't settle. I'll spare you the life story, but sufficed to say that the economy tanked right before I graduated and I worked the past few years at a job I hated and I only quit recently because it was just not worth it at all. Don't do that to yourself.

Best wishes to everyone. I feel for you.

No secrets for me, really. I feel the best friendships aren't necessarily a time and effort thing, so much as they are the place to give up the social power games and politicking that often go on in daily life. With people you're close to, everything works out better if noone's vying for status...

Passive aggressive emotional blackmail as a means to exert his will over yours is just as harmful and should be just as intolerable as physical abuse. If he isn't willing to listen to you, let you be yourself, respect you and your family, etc, then there's really no grounds for you to be...

That was sortof my point, though, I was just being flippant. This isn't something that just 'stops'. Who is going to choose to stop making profit in favour of continuing to do business? Not many people, and certainly not at the behest of an organization with such ludicrous PR tactics. Demand if...

On the off chance that PeTA got their way, do they have any proposals in place for what would happen to the animals that no longer serve any purpose? The only logical conclusion of the cessation of the milk industry is that the animals no longer serve a purpose and would be disposed of so that...

It's a bad assumption, though. Never assume malice when stupidity explains it. Ignorance is a reason in itself, where malice assumes both awareness and intent. Hanlon's razor, and all that. Cock-up before conspiracy.

Agreed. Then we'll be as factually accurate as the article and the website itself.

You leave that brilliant actor out of this. His fiscal policies never hurt anyone. Let's hear it for Reaganomics! USA! USA! etc. :love:

I agree. Down with fascism. We should just let a cascading collapse of money lenders and banks happen, and in so doing strip the population of their savings and investments. After all, people don't need money for any reason, and I'm sure they won't be exploited in their time of need. Surely, if...

In response to Layton's 'A New Kind of Strong' video, which is broken down into three quick points about the 'strengths' of Harper. - Tax cuts to make Canada more competitive in global markets help our economy, and the fact that there are so many impoverished children when our economy is the...

That sounds like communism to me, Ivan. :sexywink:

It can't be any worse than Jack Layton's tv commercials.

If you really crunch the numbers, the 1% and now 2% GST reduction for a family at or below the poverty line amounts to some ridiculous pittance assuming 0% income is saved -- it might be as much as $280/year, but I think that's probably a pretty generous estimation. It was pandering at best...

All the sighing and dramatic face crunching reminded me of Creed videos. I guarantee that if the camera showed his body in addition to his face, he'd be doing either the Jesus arms or the double fist clench at those moments. :love:

It's easy to hate Metallica, so people do. As a comparison, a 'let's hate Metallica' party would probably be as successful as 'let's hate Hitler!' party. A Nazi party, if you will. The bonus with the latter is that if you invite people and they don't show up, you get to accuse them of being...

Probably keeping their fingers crossed that the LHC will catastrophically fail and bring Jesus back to the earth for Judgement. :lol:

I agree with you pretty much to the letter bonoman. Trying to grab liberal votes is exactly what he's doing, and whether Canadians like it or not, we're needed in Afghanistan. My sincerest hope is that we stay there, doing what we're doing, regardless of the government that gets voted in. I...

The term "pro-abortion" is about as synonymous with 'pro-choice' as the term 'tomato' is with 'igneous rock'. Sure they're both things, but that's where it should end: what they are -- the very essence of what they are -- is wholly different. Just like 'Democrat'/'democrat' and...

There's been a good couple Thor one-shots recently. Ages of Thunder and Reign in Blood were awesome, and I'm looking forward to Man of War, but tragically AoT and RiB came out June/July and MoW isn't going to be done until November. Also, I need to find copies of The Shadow, because the shadow...

I've been saying this for years, but people scoff at me as though the two things are entirely disparate. Not sure that it should be a surprise, even if it is to some people. Incidentally, I've always had to laugh at how the "metal" persona is portrayed on sit-coms and tv dramas, the ones that...

I won't repeat what others have said about going to the doctor, etc. It's sound advice, and I'm sure you'll try to incorporate it into your plan. The other day I read the abstract of a study that suggested contemplative meditation is as helpful as therapy for some people experiencing...

They see her rollin', they hatin' --
