NWN2: Computer Requirements Q
And I think you can still buy about four new top of the line Core 2 Duo CPUs for the same price as a Pentium M. :S

I wonder if you can special order them. I mean, who doesn't crave the odd bull scrotum or chicken lip every now and then?

Movies You Have Seen Lately
I just watched Honeymoon in Vegas with Cage and SJ Parker (before they were famous). Predictable, pedestrian bubblegum, happy ending Hollywood stuff.

Has anyone else noticed that hotdogs in the USA are made with beef? You can't get beef sausages in the UK, they're all pork!

I dunno, I don't really think uninformed, stupid people should have the same vote as informed and intelligent people.

If you are a foreigner studying in the UK, it is about three times more expensive than for locals. From my (admitedly limited) research into university study in the USA, it is markedly cheaper ...- The Lighthouse of Democracy In the World: Sweden!

Original thread: first page last page Carry on.- Giving drugs to drug addicts
If I'm understanding the above quote correctly, then I agree with it. Adult human beings have an inalienable right, in my opinion, to make decisions about themselves, their lives and their bodies whether others agree with those decisions or not... and yes, even if those who love them are emotionally distraught by those decisions. If one chooses to become an addict (and yes, allowing addiction to grasp one's body is definitely a choice, unless someone holds us down, forcibly and repeatedly injecting us with an addictive substance against our will), it may be a stupid choice in the eyes of most of us, but it is nonetheless that person's choice to make for themselves, and they will suffer all the stuff that goes with that choice. It's not the government's job to babysit adults and legislate what they may and may not do to their own bodies. They have the right to legislate what we may and may not do to others while under the influence of our addiction.... drive, commit crimes, harass or harm others... but they have no right to control behaviors that affect only ourselves. The same goes for laws against suicide. How dare someone who has never met me write a law that prevents me from making a decision to end my own life? This is, in my opinion, simply a form of arrogance and control, a king-complex if you will, that forces one's belief system upon everyone else through abuse of power. That's one reason I'm against creating laws against drug use, etc. The other reason is that such laws create crime. Create major crime, and major crime syndicates, crime which affects people without their permission and taints society as a whole. This is documented and indisputable. Yet government, in its ultimate drive for power to enforce its will upon others, continues to create crime by pretending to fight it. That's what I think. Those who disagree are wrong, of course! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ~Di, you are 100.01% correct ... assuming you are allowing for diminished responsibility for those that are deemed unable to make "adult" decisions: minors and mentally incapacitated by illness, accident or birth. - University Tuition Fees
