Re: I'm thinking about joining the Communist Party

Yeah, this is great, and you're probably right but people are not always aware, and many who are will not act upon this awareness.

The game was horribly riddled with clichés, so I'm not waiting with baited breath.

Re: I'm thinking about joining the Communist Party

It doesn't sound like you need to be a communist.

There's no need to commit to a pseudo-utopian fantasy just to make your distaste of inequality public. Politics muddles matters.

Re: God botherers

Anti-social behaviour means relatively little until you talk to old people. They hate it.

Re: God botherers

I don't think you lot (especially the first poster) know many religious people, or at least not the ones I know.

And I don't think logic and rationale are purely atheistic concepts, either.

Re: [Technology] Microsoft says "**** You" to Sony.

They all mean the same thing. So, really, there was no point in elaborating, as was my point. Pig's explanation was perfectly adequate and, idd, the most apt.

Perhaps you took a swig.

Gladiator must be up there; though, again, it only falls rather loosely into the 'action' category.
