Yeah, Ramona doesn't have anything to justify the trouble she gives Scott. Now, we all fall for girls who have nothing to offer us, but that was just sad.

Cracked gets a lot wrong. It is pretty funny, though.
All the misconceptions about the Jews, ranging from invincible ignorance to darkest malice and you choose that one? Given the unique circumstances surrounding the founding of modern Israel, getting confused how the Jewish Homeland was settled in the 1920s is hardly the worst misconception.
Re: UK: In all fairness, I think this is mostly an insider thing. The UK was, in its origins, an English Empire, both politically and culturally, and most outsiders would see an English State. You have to remember, what we think of as European Nation States, were in their origins, Feudal Empires that encompassed a mix of Roman and Germanic populations with their own degree of sovereignty. All of them could claim that their distinctive cultural history is ignored for that of the nation state.
Re: Evolution: In all fairness, how is “Evolved from a common primate ancestor” really different from “evolved from monkeys?” First of all, if one's objection is creationist in nature, it’s doubtful the distinction would console one. Second, understanding natural selection does not have to cover the current understanding of the field; it just has to impart, “Simple Organisms developed into more complex organisms.” It is a simplified explanation, not a wrong one.

I think the Office is going to fade out because very few shows survive seven seasons, not because Michael Scott is gone. I mean, look at Scrubs Med School. There was nothing wrong with the actors, or the scripts, or the set, and I can forgive the whole mutilation of the series concept. The problem came from, running out of ideas. You can only make so many jokes about young doctors trying to find themselves before you run out of ways to make it seem fresh.

My only regret is that they never had a Barbados Slim Angle with R-Truth.

And I'm still a Sagittarius. Ol' Horse-Man-Archer guy I stay. He does have a personal name, you know. It's Chiron.

I think the important question is, will this effect Ed Leslie? YES! or NO!

If we take Astrology at it's word, that it uses astonomy for divination, then they should adjust their calender, as the stars would have different effects on people as they move. I don't suscribe to the practice, but I do have a sense of whimsy.

I kind of suspected this would happen. V as a whole has enough good ideas to make a really good double Twilight Zone episode. Then you need to graft that to a WWII Occupation story. There's just not enough material to sustain a long series.

No, this is the best part of Tax Season! Bad local commericals for tax preparers!
The lesson is, don't use refund anticipation loans.

Here's the economics. The primary consumer of games are the 25 and under crowd. For that demographic, the scarcest resource, after sex, is money. For everyone over 25, it is time. So, since an under 25 year old has plenty of time, but no money, they are willing to go through silly tricks to get free stuff, whereas everyone over 25, could just buy it, but doesn’t have the time to enjoy it. Thus, there is an incentive to steal for the primary consumer. I mean, hacking and jail breaking seems like more trouble then its worth to me, but then again, my time is more valuable than it was ten years ago.

It's unlikely any argument you make would be persuasive to her, and vice versa. You would both be happier with other people.

BeDragon works very well against Metal Babbles in III. That's the nice thing about DQ. The numbering system is always the same.

In Re: Sodomy Laws: The US State Department does issue travel advisories, the one for Saudi Arabia does state that they will execute for sodomy. You were warned. The State Department would likely intercede, and depending on the circumstances, would try to get you deported. However, the Saudis would be free to ignore that. The thing is, every state is sovereign, and what you call barbarism, they call their way of life.

The Right to Censor era Ivory had a point about Attitude Era Women's Wrestling.
Molly Holly's virginity, ranks with "CM Punk is a bad guy for not having a drink" as the most morally confused message in WWE history. Don't get me wrong, it works for Angela Martin, but given that creative is a group of idiots, it doesn't work for Molly.

It's Congressman. In English, Man can refer to both a Male and a Human. Technically, it should be Mister Congressman and Madame Congressman.

“Well, I think Madison was making a deal with the Devil, and the Devil wanted the Wrestlecrap affiliation in return for keeping Aunt May alive. Never made much sense to me, but I took it in stride. I still wonder what role the Black Scorpion played in it?” -Jay Peas.

Tehnically, the State Department will work to make sure you get a fair trial, and obtain representation. But, they are not get you off scot free. You are under obligation as a guest in the country to not to break their laws.
