    Should DLC be free?

    I bought a meal once. Now, the place that made it makes a different meal with a few extras. I should get that for free, because I bought the meal before. DLC should be free if it's something generic. Preorder bonuses should cost nothing, similarly skin swaps/palettes should be free, because...

    "Here comes the bride" replaced

    That said, though, Gangnam Style isn't a one-hit wonder. PSY is one of Korea's top-selling artists.

    Stop Freaking Out About ISIS

    Source: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/08/24/1323764/-Stop-freaking-out-about-ISIS Granted it's more of an opinion piece, but I pretty much agree with the guy. As a side-note, this. Source...

    Welfare Makes People Lazy

    Sort of. Sometimes, while I was on government assisted income, it was hard to get up and go looking for work. It wasn't so much laziness though, but rather just feeling a bit helpless. When you apply for a hundred jobs and don't hear back from any of them, it kinda wrecks your confidence to keep...

    ...duct taping kids to mats

    I guess it could stop tantrums..? Maybe? Probably not.

    Homeless people

    I was harassed once by a homeless man because I refused to give him money. I never was one for giving money to beggars, and he just cemented that belief. I recall reading that a good number of homeless are made homeless through their own actions. Violence, drug addiction, etc. Of course not all...

    Michael Brown 'No Angel'

    Isn't that what most criminals do? Try to fade out so they don't draw attention. No attention means no suspicion, no suspicion means less chance of getting caught.

    should politicians be paid minimal wage?

    They should earn less than they currently do, but more than minimum wage. Politics, whatever you think of it, requires a certain mindset and a certain set of skills that most likely don't exist in minimum wage workers. Minimum wage jobs generally don't require much mindpower, it's do the same...

    Three-year-old boy among 42 wounded in Chicago weekend shootings

    The death of yet another child at the hands of an improperly-secured firearm is the saddest thing. It's another death that would've been prevented if absolute retards weren't allowed to own guns.

    Henry Rollins attacks Robin Williams for taking his own life

    As what you could call a 'survivor' of suicide attempts... I agree with him. Life sucks sometimes, and sometimes you can't see a way for it to get better. But all suicide does is cement that. It will NEVER get better if you're bleeding out in a bath tub or dangling from the ceiling by a homemade...

    Is random drug testing of welfare recipients constitutional?

    I don't necessarily agree that being hooked on drugs is a reason for the government to disown you. God knows there are enough homeless addicts already, without adding more to the mix. However, I do think random testing should be done. If you fail, benefits should be cut/stopped, but perhaps the...

    Ferguson resident: "No jobs, no peace, period"

    And it'll be even harder to get a job with looting/rioting on your criminal record. There's no other word for the people who do that. They're losers, plain and simple. And if that's their reaction to an event that is probably unrelated (guy who got shot was black, so therefore black people get...

    Americans Killed by Cops Now Outnumber Americans Killed in Iraq War

    At least some of the deaths by cops were justified.

    Forum Police Department

    Forums aren't mandatory. If you don't like their rules, you're free to gtfo. As for your speeding analogy... wrong. http://www.ukspeedtraps.co.uk/stopping.htm#3 "A few miles" above the speed limit could well be the difference between stopping safely, or squashing that little kid under your...

    what's your most memorable experience with a wild animal?

    Yup, UK. My dog also hasn't figured out that hedgehogs are bad opponents. We occasionally get big ones. I let him out to go toilet a while ago and he didn't come back for ages, so I went to find him. He was prancing around what looked like a large rock in the middle of the path. Then it moved...

    what's your most memorable experience with a wild animal?

    When I was much younger, I went on a trip with my local youth club to a dry-ski slope. I managed to take a fall on the way down, close to the bottom. There was a fox staring at me from about 10 feet away from where I landed. Also, we get hedgehogs a lot. One spent about a week living in the...

    'Shoot Me!' Video Of Second Missouri Killing

    Pretty sure an assailant with a knife counts. Bluster all you want about "the good old days" but this was a justified shooting. Your tirade about robbery has no place here.

    'Shoot Me!' Video Of Second Missouri Killing

    It was justified. He had an offensive weapon, refused to cooperate with the orders of the officers, and acted in a manner that threatened the officers' health and/or lives.

    Ferguson police say teen shot by cop was suspect in robbery

    According to "a source" (make of this what you will), Brown assaulted the police officer, among other things fracturing his eye socket. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2730229/Ferguson-cop-shot-dead-Michael-Brown-severely-beaten-teenager.html There's so many stories now I have no clue...
