My triad is alcohol, cigarettes and Ritalin. The alcohol calms me down and lowers my inhibitions; the Ritalin gives me energy and keeps me focused; and the cigarettes give me a break and added focus and energy. I'm not a smoker; that is, I don't take smoke breaks at work, and I don't think...

Ronny, I'm glad you enjoyed the book; be sure to tell Jenn. I plan on sending her the book this week. But, please, explain a little. Did you identify with any of the characters? Was the imagery effective? etc. Sorry to be so demanding. I'm a little wasted and interested to hear from...

Violence. That's proven by psychological testing. We learned about it in psych 101 back in the day.

...and finally. I don't push my ideas; I'm glad someone does. Not that there's anything wrong with it, but so far the discussion has been on a micro level (individual rights, parent-child relationships, etc.), but my idea (and your idea) is that maybe this is irresponsible on a different...

Do it. Don't think. Moto, it's something new. It's an adventure. Do it. Learn something new. Do it.

Unfortunately, didn't see the fights, so I just thought I'd spam up the thread. I'll see 'em later though.

Yeah, there's a thread in itself: ESPN won't show UFC. Beer AND Doritos!? Ugh! And you could probably bring some local microbrews too! If you ever did make the drive, you could buy some 4 oz. grappling gloves, and we'd all get out in the yard and do some ultimate fighting of our own.

you can come over to my place. we're probably gonna get it.

off topic, I'm from his home state, and people love him here.

I agree that some of the problem is corruption, but we are reaching the limit of our ability to provide for ourselves. Here's a stat for you: according to Jared Diamond, if we stopped having more than two kids per couple, the world's population would still grow for the next seventy years...

I just bought a really cheap cloth hardback version of The Brothers Karamazov from Amazon. It has a detailed intro, a chronological detail of his life and the historical events surrounding his life, not the mention the almost necessary list of characters. Russian literature likes to give...

anything by Vonnegut.

I think the real question here is, when does concern about overpopulation overpower the rights of individuals to have as many kids as they want? Currently, there's no way we could support everyone in the world living the standard of first world countries. There's not enough materials...

I watched those two matches between Matt Hughes and Frank Trigg last night. That was incredible. Hughes took a shot to the groin and continued fighting. Then, he friggin won. That's a man.

A good batter can have some control of where the ball goes, and there are some guys that are good at just getting a hit while others are known for knocking the ball out of the park. Okay, if England had a draft system like the US National sports and England had to compete with the rest of Europe...

Rugby. Great sport. I played here for a semester until my ankle got hurt and later found out that I have degenerative discs in my back. Anyway, batting in baseball is all about timing and technique. There's footwork, watching the ball to the bat, rolling the wrist at the right moment...

I love you, Novella. You remind me of my girlfriend. I actually agree with some of Ward Churchill's ideas, but I also agree with you. Riding the wave off-subject, dividing kids up by sex in classrooms can actually improve scores. Plus, young males learn differently from young females, so...

This is a great thread, Kenny. It's nice to see people actually learning about the different ways of doing things. You were asking earlier about why people don't just set up their own leagues because of the draft, and I think you really stumbled across it with the post about international...

Go watch UFC VI. It's the first time that Tank Abbott shows up. He knocks a 400 lb. guy out, and then he mocks him; the guy is on the ground and all his muscles are tensed (because he's out cold), and Tank looks at him and mimics it. Asshole . . . but fun to watch. UFC VI also has the...

Bill Hicks: I was sitting in Waffle House reading, and the waitress came up to me and asked, "What are you reading for?" Not, "What are you reading?" But "What are you reading for?" The guy in the booth next to me says to her, "Looks we got ourselves a reader!" I think that early on...
