I'm sometimes amazed at how few people consciously reject their systems of belief for the express purpose of examining them in as clear a light as possible. It seems to me that the vast majority of people believe what they were raised to believe; most of the rest believe either a variation of what they were raised to believe, or reactively seek out an opposing...

Sometimes I sit back, reflect, and wonder who the hell has been living my life up until recently.

True. Hooray for the House Rule.
I've come to the conclusion that it's impossible to lead a morally or ethically good life. If you've never encountered a situation in which there is no 'good' choice, in which you are not forced to compromise your morals and/or your ethics in one way or another because no alternative which is not morally or ethically compromising exists--if you've never had to do wrong because...

my statement to Shiny Metal Ass was uncalled for and arguably less than true. i apologize for making it. while circumstance--specifically, the disrespect i feel he showed to people who i feel deserve respect--led me to feel pretty angry, that doesn't excuse the inappropriate action i took as a response. i'm a pretty swell guy, once you get to know me.
Dude, you should consider apologising to Shiny_Metal_Ass. Putting an apology in a comment addressed to someone else just doesn't look sincere, somehow. Just saying.
As far as your journal entry goes, I think I probably agree. Though I think you're probably pushing the envelope. "Hard cases make bad law", IIUC.

Stop offering good information it is forcing me to reconsider my view of you 
. FYI I had grown tired of posting information and asking questions only to receive nonsensical replies. If you notice I did not start by calling him a troll it was only after his unresponsive comments that I labeled as such.
BTW Sockpuppet is correct I had missed your apology too. Your comment was one on the things that helped shape my opinion of you.
BTW I cannot be offended by being told STFU I have worked in technology for too many years to be bothered by name calling

Over a year since my last post. Ah, well.
I've been tearing shit up in the CE boards again. As a result, I've been called the most interesting things, perhaps the most interesting of which is "conservative". I don't mean to offend, but I've never thought of myself as being particularly conservative. Nor have I ever thought of myself as being particularly liberal. I'm pro-choice...

New piercings are a goddamn chore to care for. I have to slot an extra half-hour every morning for it. When you're used to spending only ten minutes from waking up to getting out the door, that's a hell of a long time.

It's refreshing to see an intelligent conservative on the boards. Kudos.
I hate being the asshole. But my first instinct is always to say what I think. If I think you're a retard, an idiot, or a moron (or all three), you'll here it here first. Except that you won't, because my post will get deleted and the mods will send me a nasty letter.
At least nobody has to wonder what I think of them....

I got pierced! Two in my left ear, one in my right. I might get around to posting pics tonight.
So, I sat down last night and plotted out my WoW wishlist for my L70 rogue. This is not the best gear in the game, it's the best gear I can realistically acquire for the role I want to fill--namely, handing out massive fucking crits with my backstabs, ambushes, and eviscerates, specifically in PvP. My PvP build is assassination/sub, giving me both Cold Blood and...

Woo, I'm stirring up shit in the news forums again. People here--and everywhere, I guess--are so reactionary. I say one thing slightly counter to the prevailing opinion, and people start accusing me of the wildest things, of holding the craziest beliefs. I say "I don't believe that waterboarding is necessarily torture", and the response is "YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN AMERICAN."...

Ugh. The number of troops in Bush's surge is rising. I'm saying "ugh" not because I'm disgusted (though I am) but because that's the only sound I can make when I think about getting sucked back into the Army. My guts freeze solid, all the blood drains out of me, leaving me exhausted and cold, with barely enough life left in me to make a...

Turned out my RAM was fried. Like, crispy. Ran a test for less than three minutes and came up with over a hundred errors. Three-year warranty, though, so I'm up and running again.
Smokin' Aces is fucking fantastic.
