    instantly pissed off?

    I suppose the mess I walk into each day at work with the full shelves of freight in the back that should be empty and the shelves on the sales floor being empty because no one cared to really do any work throughout the day. I manage to shrug it off and get through the day though it always annoys...

    Never Forget

    I am glad you found what you have been looking for even if it took a while. :) I hope I am not going to be forgotten by you or any of my friends I made over the years. I surely won't forget any of them who gifted me with all the time they had shared with me over the years even if some are...

    Forum Games

    Some of it can be fun while other games aren't but that's true of games of any kind. I think the issue about post count is more about people allowing an silly number offer any sort of statement about a person that it really shouldn't be making. The only thing post count should illustrate is that...

    Forum currency?

    I never used it on any forum I ran but I been on forums that had it but it ends up mostly being another number that goes up that people treat like their post count. I suppose it might have value on a RPG board or a promotion forum but that's about it to be honest.

    We Muslims ain't terrorists.

    As far as that pie chart is concerned, we have to know what exactly they call a terrorist attack as an act of violence isn't necessarily terrorism. You also have to account for the percentage of people who belong in each group that live in the US as well. These facts are left out of the pie...

    Can somebody be calm and mad at the same time?

    There is two types of anger: implosive and explosive. Some show their anger outwardly and those you can spot and deal with because you can see the issue at hand. Then yo have the implosive anger who conceal their anger so no one can see it till one day they just seem to randomly explode when the...

    38% of businesses will lay off workers

    I think it's pretty shameful when you are willing to pay someone the lowest amount you can legally pay someone to do work that benefits you greatly. Any decent employer would want to see their workers prosper instead of living in abject poverty. By the way, if the pay you give is so low that you...

    Barring Felons From Voting

    The problem with eternal punishment as it provides no incentive to improve their behavior. Punishment of that variety is more to pleasure the person doing the punishing because some people think jail should be a way to get joy out of it for themselves rather then actually reform people. Not...

    Torture

    What if he gets off on pain or simply your frustration and emotional destruction? What if the whole point is to watch you suffer because that's the entire goal in the first place? Walking the path of the sicko is no way to illustrate your humanity. If you can justify his behavior by doing some...

    Torture

    I wouldn't simply because you can't guarantee the info given will be valid. He can send you on wild goose chases and revel in your futile efforts to save them so your torture of the man not only does not save your family but destroys your own soul in the process. That's the problem as there is...

    Are Prison Education Programs Worth It?

    Depends on what you want prison to do for society? If it is simply to satisfy a desire to inflict harm as payment for them inflicting harm on others then no you likely wouldn't want any good to come out of prison but somehow are left to ponder how what leaves prison is the same thing that gets...

    Torture

    What do you use to define a person as a terrorist? Most likely the media which of course listens to the government so in essence you define it by what the government declares a terrorist which is in the midst of you saying you don't trust the government while you trust them meanwhile they on the...

    Torture

    Are you up for American citizens being tortured in the name of homeland security? Are you up to being tortured because the government says you know something and just needs to beat it out of you to get it? When someone asks for this proof, they deny them on the grounds of national security and...

    Torture

    What is the point in torture if it only leads to us becoming the savages we war against? Why should we allow those with a lower standard of morals degrade our own morals towards their level? How can we know the person in question truly knows the answer you seek? What exactly makes you think the...

    Bitcoin Bankrupt

    Probably spent on something by those who accepted the legal tender in exchange for their "money". I think there is a reason why money is backed by a country as this would happen more often if our currency wasn't backed by any specific country. It guarantees safety in the monetary sense to the...

    Backseat Moderation

    That criticism is built upon a lack of understanding and not necessarily has to do with being mean spirited. What those people need is correction and guidance not condemnation and hatred. I honestly rather be criticized as much as I am praised. Too much praise leads to a fat head and too much...

    Money = happiness?

    Having lots of things does not make you happy but rather finding contentment amidst what you do have now is what makes you happy. More often then not, wealthy people aren't as happy as they make themselves out to be for man is a pro at deceiving others as they are in deceiving themselves. There...

    Backseat Moderation

    So if someone criticized you for your moderation ability but has already illustrated that they can do it well on their own board would be enough for you to change your ways or would you just think of another requirement they need to meet first so you could still say they have no right to...

    Should anyone use the Banhammer?

    I think the problem lies when people see their mod tools as a way to discourage or silence viewpoints they simply don't like. They don't say anything offensive as it's just a matter of not liking what they think then going out of their way to get them to either leave or not speak of it anymore...

    Backseat Moderation

    Define " their jobs". There is where the problem lies when your definition and the owner's definition differ. The problem with backseat moderators is they are attempting to assume authority over an authority figure when they assert their thought process of authority over someone else authority...
