One thing I am growing particularly tired of is the hints at Freeman's drug addiction. And it isn't a particular drug, he is just looking for "anything that works".

Like tranquilizers. I think it's a subtle parody of House, who's already a subtle parody on Sherlock Holmes to begin with.

Seems like I am not the only one repeatedly hitting the F5 key at the home page.

Any moment Rod Serling comes on screen. He's such a classic TV character.

Me, in a mask...

 

That's a kickass mask.

Atheism is simply the lack of belief in deities. End of story. Atheists, on the other hand, have a wide and varied belief structure about many different topics and have many different philosophies

Well put. It was sort of what I wanted to say.

Paul Hardcastle - King Tut

Freeman of Freeman's mind is a vaguely sociopathic genius-apparently he's always been a bit loopy, considering his references to having bizarre outbursts at his job. His eccentricities are tolerated because he's so good at what he does.

 

He's kind of pathetic, if you think about it-friendless, self-absorbed, scatter-brained-but he's also surprisingly realistic. Anyone here ever met a very smart person in physics or engineering or computers? Some of them are intensely WEIRD. Hard to talk to. Anti-social, insular, cryptic, touchy people. Freeman is a product of narcissism and brilliance, a strutting, insecure, psychotic manchild. He is despicable. Absurd. Broken.

 

And hilarious.

Yes, he IS very realistic. I always found that interesting.

Hexacon - Discommend

Tangerine Dream - Kiew Mission

Great for sex

I can hear why

Don't stand so close to me.

What's with you having less then -100 rep again? lol

It was a gift.

Tangerine Dream - Hyperborea (Part 2)

I don't think religion itself is a bad thing, but rather people who do bad things and use religion as an excuse.

I agree with Stephen Hawking about people who boast about their IQ.

Most good comedic characters are rather static and one-dimensional.

I would say that the dream thing seems most likely considering how weird the episode was, but I don't know. Anything could happen really.

I think it's important to teach kids to embrace differences rather than using them as excuses to pick on those who stand out from the crowd.

Einstein was religious. What more proof do you need?

Well, that I can agree with.

Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon

Drinking blue energy drink. I feel like I shouldn't be drinking it.

Deus Ex is a good game despite being a low budget kind of project (Bad voice acting to name an example.).

Yeah, some of the voice acting in Deus Ex is horrendous, especially the faux accents. But I think the fact it was a low budget game makes it even more impressive.

Maybe Gordon has a personality similar to Ace Ventura..?

Not by a long shot.

For me, values are more important than religion itself. To have good morals and values is more important in most cases than if you are Christian, Muslim or a Jew. I would say while religion has had a general positive effect on shaping modern society, since it has formed the basis for most of our laws, it has also had a lot of negative effects which can't be overlooked. A lot of wars are started on the basis of religious disagreements, not to mention terrorism, and the dark side of religion will probably always be there.

I think it depends heavily on which school you look at. At some schools, bullying can be a huge problem where nobody deals with it and in some schools, like the ones I went to, bullying was really hit down on and they took great effort into teaching tolerance to the kids, especially the golden rule: "Do to others what you want them to do to you."

I've been bullied quite a bit but I've had people around me who have always supported me. Friends can be great sometimes.

I would have to say yes for Norway, especially around here where I live. As far as I know, bullying is almost non-existant in most Norwegian schools. But I think the situation might be totally different in other countries.
