Sup All This weekend with all the work I have been doing I had 4 hours sleep on Friday night and then 2 hours on Saturday and about 2 hours during the day today. And I feel fine. but I am not advocating a person should have only 4-5 hours sleep a night as I don't think its sustainable but I know there are nocturnal beasts on these forums who probably only sleep that much every night My ideal amount of sleep is probably 6-7 hours a night, I know some people who claim they cannot function without 8-10 hours a night so my question is how much sleep do you have a night and what is your optimal amount of sleep. If you battle with insomnia what is the reason ?

Mungri can I ask you a question? As a gay man how do you feel about some of these comments on this thread? Do you find comments like " homosexuality is not natural " annoying? Offensive? Or do you just not care. My gay friends seem to care less about gay rights than I do, they say things like " you will never change some peoples minds so why bother ". But I refuse to accept that. I don't need to change peoples minds, I just want to let people that homophobia is not acceptable I'm pretty much desensitised to such stuff after my father told me that he would have had me aborted if he knew I was going to turn out gay. Yeah some of my friends have similar stories, not all of them but some. Living in South Africa we have a very liberal constitution that protects your sexual orientation in society but that doesn't stop all homophobic comments and of course nothing can stop what people and family say and act on a personal level One of my friends told his mom at the age of 20 he was gay and she didn't speak to him for 3 years because her boyfriend was homophobic. They get on very well now but when he told me the story he didn't even seem angry with her....I was thinking " how can your mom chose some random guy over her own son...and how can you not be angry and disappointed with her " ... but I never said those things to him because I didn't want to make him feel worse about his moms behavior I know you aren't looking for sympathy and I'm sure we will now hear comments like " oh so now only gay people have a monopoly on there parents treating them badly..my parents did this to me and my parents did that " but the reality is most straight people have never had to deal with the emotional and verbal abuse and hurt that many gay people have to deal with including the incredibly insensitive and appalling comments that your were subjected to by your dad ...anyway thanks for sharing

9 am and I'm still onsite....I'm at the point where I'm so tired I'm actually not tired anymore

Take your patronising bs and shove it. If the bigots hadn't shown up in force I would never have touched any social issues, but I guess you think bigotry should pass without remark. Again, you're slashing people who have a right to their opinion. In all reality, you're the true "Politically Correct" Bigot. You're a tool, or a mouth piece for the "Soft core Communist" propaganda machine. Come one lets try to be reasonable, I known these discussions get personal and people tend to get vituperative but Serdan is definitely not a bigot ...its obvious he is the complete opposite and has been defending gay rights I also tend to get annoyed with people in some debates and say things I don't mean so I'm not acting better than anyone and more mature...I have been there and do exactly the same thing. It doesn't make it right though

I was waiting for you to engage in such useless pedantry.What you fail to comprehend is that this isn't just some academic discussion or a few people being "hypersensitive". Real people are being harmed by bigotry, so when I see someone perpetuate such bigotry I will call them out on it. Your insistence that doing so is somehow wrong unless I can prove with absolute certainty that they actually engage in bigotry is utter bs. As I have already stated, my prior for Sriker being genuine can be found somewhere in the region of the asthenosphere. If Striker convinced me otherwise I would apologize, but I'm not holding my breath. a lot of people on the social justice side do this with fetishes they do not tolerate. Like pedophilia. Something you can not do anything about it as well. Its your sexual orientation and it should not be a crime unless people get hurt by it. Thats the biggest exampleIf I see someone do that I'll call them a bigot too, so that's not much of a counterexample. Do you think my reaction was unreasonable? If so, why?According to my experience it is a very strong predictor of bigotry when someone refers to people as unnatural. Do you have any meaningful answers to this? How convenient.Do you deny that calling homosexuals, or intimacy between homosexuals, unnatural is rhetoric used by people who are actively engaged in abridging the rights of homosexuals? Wow. You're part of the problem. I didn't hurt anyone, all I said is two men having sex is not what nature intended, seeing as how that does not reproduce. I guess we all need a little biology refresher. A man's **** is inserted in a woman's vagina (which feels great by the way) and then he will ejaculate **** filled with sperm to fertilize her eggs up in the ovaries. This will then begin the process of growning a fetus to reproduce the spieces. One man, and one woman are required. And it's awesome and beautiful. Two men... Doing whatever, will not result in reproduction, and I find it very unnattactive and unpleasant. Wich is my right. But as stated above, I could care less. I don't tell people what to do with their junk. Dude seriously, I'm not sure what the relevance of saying "nature didn't intend us to be gay " Its irrelevant to the discussion considering all the things mankind has done and learnt outside of how nature functions For me the only time someone would say that is if they are using it as form of homophobia ...so maybe just be honest and say " I have a problem with gay people " then we can unpack your train of thought further

I see that I chose(!) to stick to it damn it :D SJW talk is a waste of time, allready made my point about that Nah, its only a waste of time if you don't care about it

My friend I'm sure everyone appreciates your insight but haven't you realized this thread isn't really about journalism ( well maybe it once use to be )...its the eternal battleground on these forums where we debate issues of SJ ...and we love it despite the heated exchanges I stick with the topic, feel free to do otherwise. Heh, welcome to the WOT section. We don't limit ourselves to bourgeoisie concepts like thread titles. Down with conventions! " bourgeoisie concepts like thread titles "

I still find these Limericks funny

More Gates !!!! Oh no Orog.,....do you really think our fragile and sensitive states can handle more gates ....aren't two enough....plzzzzz...it must enough

Do you get a such a thing in the USA as an Asian Hispanic ? I think they should just let you choose all that apply since Brazilians are Latinos but they aren't technically Hispanic. (I sound like a SJW) Do you get a such a thing in the USA as an Asian Hispanic ? I think they should just let you choose all that apply since Brazilians are Latinos but they aren't technically Hispanic. (I sound like a SJW) Come home my son, your SJW family welcomes you back

Do you get a such a thing in the USA as an Asian Hispanic ?

Oh wait, I read it again and I think he is saying that hate is a theme in the game as a valid emotion but they don't want to have something in the game that will lead to hate as the end goal ?

I'm sorry I'm missing your point around the limerick and your post ?

I tend to believe you because you made the point in duplicate

Yeah, neither was Chernobyl No. God no. PoE didn't strip naked its gameplay in order to spend its small budget on voiced protagonists and cinematics. PoE didn't skimp on its level design work in order to give us a good narrative on a shoestring budget. PoE didn't look at its small budget and say: "Ok, we're going to have to make due with 4 maps, no race choices, no choice and consequence, and an unfinished storyline." But that all being said, I'm not ready to blame DA2's crappiness on Low budgets and time restrictions. Instead I'll blame it on mis-management of time and money. If they were looking at such an low budget, then why did they Overhaul the combat system, overhaul the art design, overhaul the UI, and overhaul just about everything else from DA:O? Wouldn't logic (and plain old good business sense) disctate that if they were pressed for time, and short on cash, that they'd just leave everything as it is and just plug a new story into the game? After all, DA:O was no failure. It was their biggest selling game. You see Stun thats why if you had appreciated and participated in Romance arcs more you would have enjoyed DA2, that's a good example of Romance enhancing the RPG experience

Its not that bad, its entertaining not amazing so you really should play it. Just don't be too critical about the obvious shortcuts like the reused dungeon designs Plus you will get to Romance the lovely and vivacious Isabela

You could not have found a less even handed source if you tried. Why do you say that? I dont much about the website it just was the first thing Yahoo search found but that webpage does contain links from George R R Martin himself so I assume you aren't questioning that?

"didnt find proof of Russian aggression " You not still telling us that Russia has not been involved in the Ukrainian conflict....I thought we had moved past that? The negotiations are basically between Russia, certain Western countries and the Ukrainian government so even Russia has admitted it is instrumental in the conflict http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-02-10/ukraine-cease-fire-negotiations-continue-as-does-the-fighting http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/as-ukraine-peace-negotiations-continue-war-intensifies/2015/02/12/e81403c4-b27f-11e4-886b-c22184f27c35_story.html

Oh....I never realised there were that many Ukrainians in Canada. How are they, do they assimilate nicely into Canadian culture?

Here is a summary http://www.themarysue.com/hugo-awards-george-rr-martin/ Its really just more GG hyperbole about " SJW destroying everything we use to hold dear..and unchangeable " Apparently you missed my previous link about the subject. It really was an excellent article where he makes great points and i highly suggest that you read it Sure, I will read it I am not going to get into a debate about this now because I have been debating various issues this whole week and to be honest I am a little fatigued...but I will read it
