  1. Run-ins with the Police

    Never. I recommend if you're going to be stopped by the police to know your constitutional rights though. (US)
  2. Salvia Divinorum

    Well someone needs to start looking out for the children. Next thing you know they'll be Marxists living in communes.
  3. Craziest/sickest/most extreme things you've ever done!

    I ate three and a half packages of Heavenly Blue Morning Glory seeds and as a consequence, I became interested in theories of justification and knowledge in general, being that certainty is hard to come by after experiencing a mental collapse.
  4. Fascism in your schools

    Tinker was all I could remember when SCOTUS gave a definitive stance that schools shouldn't limit all civil rights of students and teachers. Let's remember though, if things got egregious, they'd cite Tinker for precedent because Fortas' comment is widely considered one of the historic...
  5. Fascism in your schools

    Justice Fortas in Tinker v. Des Moines School District 1969. "It can hardly be argued that either students or teachers shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate. This has been the unmistakable holding of this Court for almost 50 years. In Meyer...
  6. I think i'm developing a problem...

    Why did we ever decide that women should be able to become free thinking autonomous beings on their own? It's ALWAYS hormones emirite? :naughty:
  7. I think i'm developing a problem...

    I've also read books concerning Human Sexual behaviour (as in the primal aspect) and they posit that while the female is not ovulating they find feminine males more attractive than masculine (as in physical features) and while they ovulate they go after dem Soula Boys (just kidding, but go...
  8. I think i'm developing a problem...

    This was covered earlier in the thread as an unlikely source due to cultural associations which were originally misleading scientific theories of behavior. To OP, I think it's just the age she is at. At 18 you really don't want to put up with anyone telling you that you're dumb and you're not...
  9. songs for wi fi battles

    I'd not aim toward something that someone would consider obnoxious (like your stereotypical techno/trance track) while the track itself complimenting the flow of the battle. I have a preference towards down-tempo artists as well as D&B because the beats themselves (if done in the right way)...
  10. Test your vocabulary; Donate rice

    I cap out at around 33-34 (max was 40 at the beginning), but be forewarned, many of the words will be culturally relevant, for instance Borzoi is a Russian Dog and having not read anything on Russian Dogs, I do not know what a Borzoi is and could only guess through elimination. I'm at 2330...
  11. characteristics that do/don't make sense

    I'm not an expert at all on the anime, I haven't seen it since the late 90s, but didn't Giovanni fight a Chansey that had boxing gloves on?
  12. Finnish School Shooting

    I disagree. Giving media attention to these things not only panders to the lowest of viewer/reader's desires, but it also gives cultural significance to these actions thereby encouraging others. Nihilism is a fact of life, publicizing it however is a bad move. Also, this sickens me the most...
  13. Getting rid of writer's block.

    Observation seems to do it for me. You'll often hear comedians begin their routines with "You ever notice... Isn't it strange" and etc. When I become an observer, watching people and their actions, behaviors and most importantly their rhetoric either through listening or reading, I envision...
  14. Is there really an alternate dimension?

    I believe Hawking's "Information Paradox" was solved in that information that is eaten by black holes never disappears because Hawking suggests they are excreted into an alternate universe and the information is preserved.
  15. Phione MS?

    It's very interesting that Gamefreak classified Phione as an "Uber" Pokemon that should not compete in the Battle Tower while it's fighting its fights with plastic straws.
  16. Is there really an alternate dimension?

    Sure, it's a possibility. Consider if we never developed spectroscopy, and all we knew of in terms of the electromagnetic spectrum was visible light. All other sources of waves from Radio and Microwaves to X-Ray and Gamma Rays would have been unknown but existent and present in daily life.
  17. Something that really grinds my gears...

    Oops. Yeah, I'm an Agnostic out of strict terms myself but there are some who take Agnosticism towards the side of the spectrum of certainty.
  18. Something that really grinds my gears...

    You're underestimating the power of tradition. If science could provide all answers to all questions and have certain knowledge, even then people would act on actions sanctified by their parents and their parents' parents. Even in secular terms there are traditions and social values which...
  19. Something that really grinds my gears...

    When they embrace determinism, any actions that happen to them "happen for a reason." It makes life much more livable if they think of God giving them "lessons" when something happens to them which they favor/disfavor. Science is great, but even in its early history Philosophers of Science...
  20. Is Sand Veil Overpowered?

    You have no idea how angry it makes me when people play the game with intended abilities.
