  1. Male, because I'm male. But I like to do at least one female run aswell just to see what, if anything, changes/
  2. But it's coffee, that's the joke.
  3. You are completely ignoring the fact that all of those things pulls the individual in many different directions.
  4. Everyone everywhere is prejudiced in some way or another, whether they realize it or not. It's not always a bad thing either. For example, you have a new neighbor move into your neighborhood. You find out that they served time for molesting children. So you make sure they are not around your children while alone. That is prejudice. You judged that person as an active threat to your children and have responded in what you believe to be an appropriate fashion. You did so without knowing them. But no one can truly fault you for that. You have no way of knowing whether they will harm your children or not, you have only their past actions to go by. It's only ever when the reaction to the information exceeds that which is reasonable. Keeping a former child predator away from your kids is reasonable. Keeping your kids away from the Muslim family that just moved in because terrorists! or whatever, is not. You grew up around black people who only ever spoke with the stereotypical black accent. There is nothing wrong with being surprised that a black man can speak with a different accent. It seem stupid to you now in hindsight. But if you had no experience with black people speaking with any other accent, it is understandable. It is not harmful either, it is neutral. Especially since you did not let it negatively impact your interaction with that person. I hate this idea that prejudice is always harmful. It's BS as I have pointed out above with my example of a person that had been convicted of sex crimes against kids. Furthermore there is a major difference between prejudice and bigotry. Bigotry always involves prejudice, but prejudice does not always involve bigotry. As with all things, prejudice in moderation is good, even beneficial. It is an extension of instinct. But it is very easy to let that get out of hand and become something harmful. Edit: One last thing. I notice in your post, KVN, that you mention color repeatedly but nothing else. It is very important to note that prejudice doesn't only exist for skin color, but can manifest in everything. Anytime you pass judgment on a person due to a small faucet of who they are it is prejudice.
  5. Well, I have a combat knife, a screw driver, a zippo, zippo fluid, a gun, two cats, a huge old school TV, kitchen knives, a pockt knife and two swords. I'm surviving. If I have to choose one, it's going to be the combat knife. Gun is already on my hip and folding knife is in my pocket. :cool:
  6. music/artist Not even by album. I don't really change the file names. I prefer just track name and use the metatag to keep track of artist name and album, Buuuuut, I have music from so many different genres and subgenres including songs in different genres from the same artists and like you, songs that belong in multiple genres, it's just a cluster f*#@. It sucks in that sometimes I just want to listen to music from a certain genre or a subgenre and it's kinda hard to wade through relatively small library to find those songs. But then, that's what playlists are for.
  7. You might just get another Joel Myrick. But that would be just terrible. At least according to Bloomberg & Pals anyway.
  8. If you don't know who is the aggressor and who is the defender, you do not get involved. What it means is when you're sitting in Luby's and some dude smashes his car through the window and starts shooting people, you are able to stop him before he can kill your parents. Not every single situation is going to be helped by a good guy with a gun. There might come a time when the good guy arrives too late to help and can only call 911. The statement is about situations that go down with an armed good guy present, who will know what's going on and how to respond. She, the third victim was a she. It's extremely unfortunate what occured in Las Vegas. It doesn't disprove the notion that good guys with guns can and do stop bad guys with guns. Not every situation will have a happy ending, even if the good guy is armed. It's not some bullet proof measure. Like carrying a spare tire, in most cases it is extremely helpful. Sometimes though you will get multiple flats and your spare isn't going to be much use. Doesn't mean you shouldn't carry a spare. There have been a number of times when an armed citizen stopped a bad guy. Best of all, there are even times when they didn't even have to pull their guns. Like what happened to me in Louisiana when a guy beating on his girlfriend decided to beat on me instead, or even better example, when a guy in Kennesaw Georgia stopped an armed robbery before it even begun and got the perps arrested by simply being there.
  9. He probably wont be, as I said. This isn't a reboot of the series, it's a reboot of the movie. They are wildly different canons. Roland Emmerich hates the show with a passion. It's going to be like if they rebooted Star Trek as a show about guys on a sea ship.
  10. Justice seems to be a subjective word. Everyone has their own opinion of what it means. But it seems to me that most people can agree in most cases that justice is proving guilt before exacting punishment. Revenge is exacting punishment before proving guilt. It's emotion based, whereas justice is evidence based. To say they are the same thing because they can sometimes have in the same end result is like saying that trains are the same thing as cars because both can get you from Austin to Houston.
  11. No one gets to pick who the good guy is and who the bad guy is, each individual makes that decision for themself when they decide whether to be either a productive or destructive member of society. How do you pick out the good guys from the bad guys? Insanely easily. The good guy isn't point his gun at anyone.
  12. Don't get so excited. This is a reboot of the movie, not the TV franchise. They are radically different.
  13. I am a night owl. My day starts in the mid to late afternoon and ends midmorning. This has always been the norm for me. What's more, if I go a year or whatver working a 'normal day shift' then go unemployed, I will quickly revert to a night schedule naturally, without trying to do so. I am more energetic at night than I am in the day. Edit: This seems to contradict your statement. You say your natural waking hours are 9am to 2am. That is the best time to be awake if you are a social butterfly. There are far more people out and about socializing at 2am than there are at 7am, for example. So it doesn't make sense to me if that was the actual reason. It's more likely to do with whatever work you do or have done than to do with any social issues like anxiety.
  14. @Meta: You answered your own question. Multiple times. Anyone that played as a mage or one of those styles rendered impotent is going to hate Skyrim for that For me. New Vegas did a lot of things better than Skyrim. I can't be bothered to remember what those are. But there are things I like about Skyrim. I don't know. I'm not voting because I can't choose one over the other.
  15. Colorwheel, they controlled both the house and the senate. They didn't have to compromise on anything.
