Is common sense starting to prevail in America regarding the death penalty?
1-Less passion crimes, less criminals on the streets. 2-Justice, retribution, seeing someone who wronged you greatly pay the price. 3-Because the state handles all judicial matters so it's their responsibility to execute sentences.

A fear of flying
Still, hundred of thousands die every year in car accidents - while only maybe a thousand die, on average pr year, flying. Car crashes are generally over quickly and have a much higher percentage of survivability. In a plane crash you will be very lucky if you survive and you have the potential for a long period of AAAAAAAGH before the splat. That's the moment when I put my hands up and scream WooOOO

BioWare's New Game
So Mass effect has finally transformed into a FPS. I'm kind of been wishing for a while that BW will bomb terribly on one game to kind shook them onto the right track.

Deus Ex 3
It makes your face all scrunch up. Like this? Actually i'm so sour that biting a lemon doesn't affect me anymore, have a permanent frown formed in my skull lines. I if you keep at for 18 years you also will get one.

No, we really shouldn't. That's the part that makes us human. Stubborn insistence that life is sacred and should not be taken as part of judicial process is also unreasonable and illogical. Stubborn insistence that the judicial process should not result in the government murdering innocents is unreasonable and illogical...? *snort* Also, to prevent any confusion, that was meant to read: "We can, and should, expect the law to be so, however." I don't expect any single human to be hyper-rational. I expect the collection of humans we call 'society' and 'government' to always aspire to this, however - an independent, unemotional judicial process is absolutely key to a just, free society. So you would deny a grieving individual closure on a tragic part of their lives? Maybe it does not bring back loved ones but i'm pretty sure that seeing the execution brings a little peace to the aggrieved, specially when the crime it's particularly heinous. This is in a large part an emotional issue not just logical. Yes, I most definitely would deny them that. They can see a psychiatrist if necessary. Under your scenario, what can somebody who was innocent do once they are executed just because somebody was too emotional to handle rational justice? The courts should be able to prove beyond reasonable doubt that a person it's guilty before executing the death penalty. There are criminals out there that are definitively guilty beyond doubt, they gloat of their "achievements" and have a complete disregard for life. I get your point, the system it's not perfect but it's still viable in a lot of cases.

You are strapped to another person who has more experience, so no backing out.

Deus Ex 3
Aww, he just wants to feel again. "I shoot/stab/slice people, because it's the only thing that makes me feel alive." Drama confirmed. Seems more deep than that, regarding the Icarus dream and his past I say that losing his arms wasn't his choice. He sort of looks like the person with a defining moment in his past, Noire style.

Bioboards, they will sign you to other people's account and give yours to some russian dude that changes the setting. Goddammit BW.

This is a logical fallacy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_emotion It's a human fallacy, not all of us are made of pure logic.

Deus Ex 3
IIRC, in DX1 the level of tech for JC and the earlier prototypes was about the same without the added ugly prosthesis. Plus there are obvious issues with DX3 tech, evident by the fact that Jensen can't hold a glass without breaking it.

What you did today
In that case I'll talk about overcoming the adversities of North Korean reeducation camps, they shouldn't be able to tell the difference. And remember to save it for future uses, I have recycled my adversity story like a thousand times. Works every time!

Please, tragedy in the family it's sooo 2008. The new hip thing it's overcoming adversity.

The funny things thread Part 2
None taken - I agree on that part, but my first point stands. It's an unnecessary invasion of privacy that serves to no practical purpose. It makes the lives of those who enjoy being groped a little better.

Dragon Age 2
Sounds like a romantic story. Do you think that BW will make the goats romanceable?

Could also be from retaining stress, I recommend a professional massage to relieve muscle tension.

There are worse things that a parent can do to their child, like getting them a f***** DVD for Christmas.

Piracy
- Gaming addiction
- Gaming addiction
What I understood from your post was that there are social factors that might push someone to addiction, some groups of people being more predisposed to become game addicts than others. My point was that gaming it's addictive by itself and addiction it not entirely dependent on the abuser, MMOs specially since they require high amounts of time.
