  1. Yes, I will watch out for the crazy bombers and Zombie can go after the mindless masses that don't care if we all get shipped off to little camps I agree, It's different degrees of danger
  2. Nice wonderful life reference Sorry to hear about your friend Steve. I feel drugs are an escape from a world that does not live up to our hopiss and dreams, I hope wherever he is at peace and happy.

    Was I wrong?

    Thank you from a chinese guy, I find racists to be ignorant and there reasoning to be based more on fear than truth
  4. Zombie, danger grows through apathy and most do not recognize apathy like they would a verbally bellicose preacher or his flock.. Under your logic, Rwandan would not have died merely due to cultural antipathy, Cambodia would not have robbed ethnic Chinese people due to social divides under pol pot, and dare I invoke Godwin's fabled law. People do not all need to be murderers to allow it to happen. All you need is for apathy and an attitude of indifference to win.
  5. Zombie, of course you would want a fair weather ally right now versus a zealot if one wants to blow you up and the other doesn't like you pink scarf , but a fair weather ally can be swayed over to the other side as well over time. People you consider as friends could progressively start distancing themselves from you due to their change in taste, fear of your behaviors, or other "perceived" characteristics that make them less inclined to be your ally. A zealot is someone we know wants us dead or gone, we know where their heart is and with the proper care, we can either avoid them or stop them from taking action. A fair weather ally is someone that might seem like a friend, you may even count on their support for Tom Daley's wet T-Shirts sales, but when the chips are down and you may need them to help you keep your adopted kids, allow you to stay with your partner at a hospital/hospice, or fight to keep your job due to homophobia with your boss, can you trust them to support you? or will they swing over to the other side? California's Prop 8 taught us that despite the support, fair weather allies are malleable. Popular support has to be irrevocable and final to make any long term changes.
  6. I want the creepy Robot,
  7. You will need to import them from Russia, http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/video/wild-foxes-house-pets-18760822
  8. You haven't been to a decent pub, politics are never far from your tall glass.
  9. I plead not guilty to taking this thread on a joy ride under any influence Lager and ales are great, I don't like lighter beers that much, but will drink with friends or use in games. There's something about the taste of wood that attracts me
  10. Fair weather allies are more dangerous than religious zealots, at least you know the zealots want you gone or dead. The fair weather allies will betray you if they "feel" its better choice.
  11. I know this might be sacrilege, but i think guinness is overhyped among beers. The real thing along with the waterdowned american version aren't as great as marketing makes them. Blue moon is good, but I recommend de Koninck from belgium, if you're after a nice ale like me.
  12. Only had natty ice when playing beer pong, I had a bottle of Sam Adams to wash the taste down Real new Englanders drink sam adams
  13. Nah Corona is worst, its piss in a bottle basically.
  14. Lol,! Called it As for the Beer,, I am guessing you guys must be Coors. However, since he has expensive taste, maybe Miller Life (Same difference as its a Coors product) or a foreign import.
  15. Hmm...Opens up a multi-million dollar Super PAC for "Zombie Justice"....there, now you can go on a rampage for human brains and not be prosecuted for any crimes
  16. How much is a life worth?
  17. Can't find it, the car model was left out. If you want a new car Banger, you will need to give Santa more than just cookies and milk. Personally, I want a Maserati:
  18. We need some humor in this thread of death and injustice Thought you would know as it is in your neck of the woods, probably an expensive truck with plenty of room in the trunk for you
  19. Well, Sale of indulgences comes to mind (Along with the Borgias, talk about wealth, power, and corruption). Modern justice is still plagued with corruption, no less than in the past. However, wealth is more subversive in legal proceedings than the old bribe a judge or jury. For example, High priced jury and jurisdiction experts can sway an entire case for or against the defendant.
  20. New Gay Holiday movie just came out! I might rent it and could potentially buy if the reviews pan out to be as good as it sounds (Nice gay Rom Com/Drama with a Christmas theme): Perfect Wedding
  21. He was also in the Tudors, RIP Peter O'Toole
  22. Umm....(Bostonian call it something else, but it'd be far too political to say it) Let's be honest here, if the legal system were equal and fair, then we'd do away with lawyers, juries, and judges. Without going into politics or social commentary, the simple truth is that any form of legal system based on arbitration can be manipulated by wealth or power. A truly fair and equal system of justice would apply the laws in a manner that is straightforward without exceptions or mitigating influences without a need for Democratic representation, Defenders of public or personal interest, nor a state sanctioned magistrate to execute open ended laws. In ancient times, the wealthy were held by noble obligations that would keep them in check with a fear of God/gods being the hallmark of balancing things off. When you remove the power of eternal damnation, justice and truth will erode over time to anarchy. (Not going into religious aspects of justice either, but just stating a fact about how eastern and western systems of justice held divine elements in past) There are many reasons why Justice and Fairness does not really work in the US or in many areas around the world.
  23. I think GA writers will get a good amount of inspiration from this factoid, it also shows one very interesting truth about human beings. We are in many ways conditioned and controlled despite our own beliefs in individuality:
  24. Well, not all dogs like squirrels, but I do. Especially if you have a green ring
  25. Or in the AC series he would have had hay to land on, if he were an Assassin jumping from the top of the mall instead of just a few stories
