No one style of economics works 100% of all the time. Sometimes an economy has to adopt what can be considered socialist policies, sometimes a more laissez faire approach is called for. To hard line one or the other is stupid. Flexibility is always the best approach

To the person who asked if you need to clean it out right away:
Most definitely yes. You don't want to see what semen looks like after it's been sitting a while. Or the smell. And in any case, letting it sit inside the sleave eats away at the material.

By the way, this is the first time we get to see Orcrist too. Unless I'm wrong, that is an elvish blade that Thorin is holding. And the only elvish sword he ever uses is Orcrist

As a young Dwarf prince, Thorin witnessed the destruction and terror wrought when a great fire-breathing Dragon attacked the Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor. After slaughtering many of Thorins kin, the great serpent, Smaug, entered The Lonely Mountain and took possession of its vast store of gold and jewels. No-one came to the aid of the surviving Dwarves, and thus, a once proud and noble race was forced into exile. Through long years of hardship, Thorin grew to be a strong and fearless fighter and revered leader. In his heart a fierce desire grew; a desire to reclaim his homeland and destroy the beast that had brought such misery upon his people. So when fate offers him an unusual ally, he seizes the chance for revenge.

Ayuyu posted... Yeah I know, but I find it stupid to have to check on your pipboy to know if you're starving. I'm pretty sure the courier ain,t a braindead moron.
He was shot in the head. The part of his brain that tells him he's hungry/thirsty could have been damaged.

Some friends and I were at the beach. My best friend recognizes this particular beach and remarks that he was baptized here. He then asks if I want to be baptized. Of course I say yes.
So at sunset, we go to this little cove. We have my friend John do the baptism (you know, the whole john the baptist thing). Since we had no wine, we poured a can of coke into a red cone we had brought to mark the corners of a volleyball net.
So the gave me the first of 7 sacraments. Poured the soda on my head ( I also drank a little before hand). Then I was submerged complete in water. Afterwards they placed a crown of seaweed on my head to represent the crown of thorns. We prayed some more, then all of a sudden another friend out of nowhere tackled my ass and I fell into the water.
Probably one of the most blasphemous things I've ever done. So awesome

The last Mystical Ninja Game was the DS one that didn't come out in the states, no? I bought that game while in Japan a few years back. Pretty neat game actually. Beautiful art style

The only hard thing about the Silmarillion for me is keeping track of the names. The big ones, such as Feanor, Fingolfin, Maedhros, Tuor, etc are easy enough, but it can be hard NOT mixing Finarfin, Fingon, Finwe,

I prefer Twin Snakes, but otherwise I agree. The story of MGS1 is better than the rest of the series. It was like watching an awesome 1980s action flick.

I kind of agree. This isn't like Obama meeting with a normal religious leader. He was a political leader, and one that they ousted. And to be frank, Tibet is better off under CCP rule.

CalvinbalI posted... if Chris Tolkien regrets doing a rush job on the Silmarillion, why didn't he ever do a revised edition? It might not help his reputation to release the same book twice, but the hardcore Tolkien fans would probably appreciate having the book be closer in line with J.R.R.'s intentions.
I think there are two reasons for this:
1 - He's freaking old. The amount of work that would take would be backbreaking, even for a younger person. For him, in his advanced age, it could be fatal.
2 - He realized it was it was impossible. Too much internal inconsistency, since many key stories that were core to the mythos hadn't been touched since essentially the 1920s, being contradicted by later writings. Furthermore, for many key themes were never decisively decided upon Tolkien, such as Galadriel's role in the Kinslaying, Gil-galad's parentage, and Turin's utimate fate with regards to the Dagor Dagorath, or even if the concept of the Dagor Dagorath should even exist in the first place!
Because of this, I think this is part of the reason why he released the HOME series, so that we could get an idea of Tolkien's true intentions regarding the Silmarillion. And in any case, there simply is no need to "re-do" The Silmarillion. Despite its detractors, The Silmarillion is still beloved by Tolkien's fanbase.

Carmeggedon: The term the local media is using to overhype and fearmonger LA drivers because the city is closing down a section of the road to repair a 50 year old bridge.
The CW news was saying that the road would be gridlocked as far south as Newport Beach. Yet, I just drove on it around Long Beach and it was pretty empty

Like I said, I enjoy modern and contemporary music too.
I guess to draw an allegory, music today is kind of like the men of Gondor during the Third Age. They're still bad ass, but their ancestors, the men of Numenor were much more amazing and skilled

Mer_Mer_Yes_Mer posted... From: TomNook7 | #025 It's never been so overwhelmingly ****ty until this era though. The music industry is too busy lazily pumping out sensations who make autotuned easy-to-play music for the 15 year old girl demographic who eat it up because they've never heard anything better.
What would a guy who's been dead for 20 years know about current mainstream music?
Because the same sort of corporate culture that exists today was on the rise back when that was recorded.

I'm not comparing music today to music from 30 years ago. I'm comparing music today to music from 70 years or earlier. The fact remains. While composers back then treated music much as an artist treats painting, songwriters of today treat music as a whore.
