I really hate the new characters. Why the bioware elf redhead, the orc warlord was bad enough.

So your chance of getting killed by a pitbul is less than 1 in 100.000000. Of the things to be scared of that would be pretty low on the list.

Maybe it's a draw. The King can't move except into a checked position but it isn't checked itself. That's what I think patt is anyway.

Patt(sp?) is when you leave the opponents king no avenue to travel without moving into a checkmate outcome and the only piece you can move is your king. The others are boxed in or lost. It counts as a win. Stalemate doesn't obviously.

ROTFL

Who even knows. I guess it's a success if they can create a media stir. That's all well and good if their foot soldiers come out of it more or less in one piece. If they were indented to be martyred then that's pretty sinister.

They must be either very brave or very stupid, what with the recent history of activist getting prison sentences rather than the customary fines.

They've made it mandatory here for doctors to recommend cheaper alternatives, provided they are effective, and not just write a prescription for the first thing that comes into their minds. When a patent expires the cost of drugs can plummet to as low as a few percent of the original price and there is quite often something already out there with a similar effect. This also keeps a lid on unsavory incentive schemes and back hand deals between pharmaceutical companies and doctors.

Well do you think government would have any luck breaking up these cartels. How has that been going so far. Price fixing won't go away if the system is left alone.

Why have an insurer. That's a middle man, siphoning off profit that could have gone to healthcare. Let the government employ the doctors. We have learned quite a bit about how this can be done more efficiently during the last decade of economic downturn.

You shouldn't use a french press. Unfiltered coffee contains soot (from bean roasting) which is carcinogenic. Regular filtered coffee has lots of heath benefits on the other hand. Unless you factor in not getting enough sleep from drinking too much of the stuff.

I approve of duct tape, but not because it's on the list, and as Orogun suggested the manly thing is to be your own man. ei. not be concerned with lists and women's magazine quizzes et al.

I reject the concept in its entirety.

Or an accident of birth, brain chemistry. The inability to emphasize and possibly a question of philosophy. Do you believe that things like good and evil exist. That there is such a thing as free will, or that the outcome of your life is determined by chance and factors entirely beyond your control. If that is your stance then actions may not have consequences and there may be no reward for being a nice guy. Fundamental rather than optional considerations.

So which is more desirable, the macro level approach to rehabilitation or the satisfaction of vengeance. The law needs to supply both or vigilantism would be the result. It does not, however, need to supply one at the cost of the other. When we are talking about the entirety of the justice system then these singular horror stories are statistically insignificant. As are individual high profile cases where one may feel that not enough punishment has been doled out, but they do contribute to a sense of deficit in the vengeance part of the equation which usually realizes itself in collective punishment.

It is strangely arousing isn't it. Can't be helped. I like the fact that you needed to know how old they were so as not to feel like a pedo while getting your freak on.

So this didn't happen while out drinking ?. I've never been in any other kind of fight. Well not since I was 8.

We have bunnies in our yard. One of them is completely fearless and will leap at you like something out of Monty Python. They scare off the wild cats whenever they are let out. They really do have (razor sharp) big pointy teeth and can draw blood effortlessly.

Don't go onto it blind I guess. If you are considering throwing a lot of money into it you should know everything you can find out about how it works and what the pitfalls are. It would be really stupid to lose money AND a friendship because you didn't have that information.

My feeling is if there is nothing at stake then nothing matters. If you can only die by losing your whole party and then have to reload, that is pretty close to having nothing at stake.

I just hope we forego the usual immortal joinable NPCs who have important dialouge down the line. Just as bad IMHO. Neverwinter nigths 2 handled all this pretty horribly. Matter of fact I don't think it was possible to lose any party members except in special cirumstances.

mkay

mmm I bet it repels the ladies as well.
