    But you have a life and don't post asking for help on getting out of a self destructive rut.

    damn, made me hit the dictionary. fyi - similar an onager (and I use this for a personalized license plate, but for the "wild ass" definition).

Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist”. God doesn't believe in atheists, therefore they don't exist.

      Nope. I don't enjoy those enough to be any good at designing 'em, and couldn't help program 'em worth spit. Tick-based MMPOLRPG is what I enjoy and what I do. To give you an idea, sometimes when I need to take a break, I'll run up a quick game of 1-player Civilization. :)

      For the Risk like RTSs, I much prefer the Total War games. Been playing Rome lately. ;)

          Yes, it's true. I think about how my actions affect others well being, instead of just doing what amuses me. I'm sorry, I keep basing my life on that Palestinian communist you hate so much.

                      Oh he does not. Get some perspective. He's not Carson or Craig, he has the capacity to discuss things civilly, and does quite regularly. If you find him horribly offensive, it's likely because he's lost all patience with you. I disagree with him on a lot of things and we can talk about them respectfully and amicably. In fact, I've rarely ever seen him loose his cool. And even if that weren't the case, I didn't say that that all applied to him but to the behavior he'd described. So nah ;P

                          I will break my rule and answer this. I've spoken about my success only to pour water on your ideas that you can somehow get rich quick by doing nothing, so you can do nothing for the rest of your life, and to respond to your suggestions that I am some sort of slave. I am not a boastful person, in fact, I regret saying the things I have, I'd prefer not to appear as if I think I'm 'something'. I'm just some guy. I think you're sad. I think you have a mental illness that needs treating. I think that letting myself get caught up in word games with you, only makes your sickness worse. I don't talk to you, as a rule, because I think it does you harm, not because I think it's beneath me ( I do not think that ).
