Come to think of it, I think I've only played Return to Ostagar and The Stone Prisoner among the DLCs. I have but did not touch Warden's Keep, Witch Hunt, or the expansion Awakening. I'm gonna have to go back now and actually finish this game. Hopefully I can just log into Origin and install the game with all the DLCs I have. I don't want to look for my DVDs and individual files from Bioware Social.

EDIT: Completely forgot I have DA: Origins Ultimate Edition on Steam. I'm good then.

I am curious how what would be done to the North Korean civilians after the dust settles. Even if South Korea was not roughed up after the fighting do they want to take care of their fellow Koreans up north and take the financial burden. Who else will partake in this humanitarian effort?

I recently picked up Evil Genius and Lords of the Realm II on Steam for $2.49 and $1.01 respectively. When I was really into these two games years ago, I actually never got past the first island on Evil Genius nor started the second level on Lords of the Realm II. I think I ran into a snag in Evil Genius where I couldn't advance my minions.

I enjoy the social interactions here and would miss the regulars, even the trolls, if they suddenly disappear but wouldn't consider PotD a necessity in my everyday life. Though I would enjoy grabbing a pint or two with some folks should that day ever come and PotD disappear.

As someone once said, GameFAQs is interesting in that one would be arguing with someone about the "proper" way to cook a steak or whether or not coffee should be drank black on one forum. But on another forum the same two could be having a nice conversation about sharing the same favorite TV series or book.

Both comments are idiotic in their own special way. Probably hypocritical as well, considering you guys likely wouldn't have batted an eye at an Obama cake

Can you please elaborate and please don't assume what we would or would not do. I mentioned earlier the whole double standard thing is annoying. Though I am sure both sides have been guilty of being the pot and calling the kettle black.

I had a relatively neutral stance with the bakery refusing to serve the lesbian couples and still do in this scenario. I thought what they did was wrong but at the same time they still are a private business and have the right to refuse service. There are better ways of "teaching someone a lesson" than ruining ones business. I actually find it irksome when folks write fake reviews on Yelp just to ruin a business only because of what they've heard instead of experiencing the service themselves.

My comment was simply me being curious as to how any youth that young would have a political stance and if said youth understand what is actually going on of if he is simply following the teachings of his parents.

Can any of us honestly say when we were that young that we truly understood the world around us or that we followed the words of our parents without question? Even now at our age do any of us still listen to our parents without question or have we learned to think for our selves at some point?

I wonder how many hypocrites who often call some people "special snowflakes" for their complaints are now offended by this. And of all things to complain about when it comes tax payer's money, they're complaining of how the office is being used?

What I don't truly get is some folks consider themselves Christians and follow the positive teachings of being a good person, good neighbor, etc, etc without trying to infringe on the rights of others. Why does some folks act as if its impossible for folks of the Islam faith to be the same and following the positive aspects of said religion without taking it to the extreme?

The targaryen's weren't all mad. And it may be proven that the Mad King actually went mad because of a Bran flashback much like Hodor.

This is just for the HBO series, right? Bookwise I think Aerys II grew mad over time. His kidnapping only served to make his suspicion of others worse I think.

I like to see it from a positive point of view. Mankind/human's willpower, endurance, and stubbornness against a hopeless cause.

Purposely making oneself ignorant about the culture that surrounds them sounds like the action of an idiot, not these celebrities (whom you claim to be ignorant about, yet still make an assessment of their intelligence by calling them idiots).

Meanwhile, North Korea has ICBMs and are threatening to use them, as well as Venezuela potentially turning into a world war if Russia or China gets involved, but those are minor stories compared to this tragedy.

Oh the humanity of two celebrities divorcing!

To be fair to anyone, it is good to be aware of what is going on around your community, state, country, world, etc but at the same time there is nothing any of us average Joe/Jane can do about certain events.

26 more months and I can be the 3%

15 months for me. Despite getting those urges sometime, there's nothing in me driving myself to pursue a women solely for sex. Combined that with my lack of interest in pursuing a relationship or dating anyone, I probably will remain a virgin till the end of my days.

I wonder how many in society still see being a virgin or living with their parent(s) to be a stigmata of sort. Someone could be in a stable job, driving their own car, contributing to property tax/utility and some folks would still look down on that person for living with his/her parent(s) regardless of whatever reason said person is living at home.

As for being a virgin, perhaps that person doesn't care about losing their V card and have other priorities in life and yet again, regardless of how said person is living his/her life others will still look down on said person. It's just baffling for me. Out of all the things important in life, being independent, having a stable job, etc, etc and some folks focus on the trivial matter.

Again, like I said, it baffles me that some folks want to lose theirs just for the sake of losing it and will steep as low as a prostitute to lose it.

I got one in March. I had to call in each Wednesday evening for three weeks and listen to a recording where names of selected jurors are read off to see if I had been chosen.

Interesting. Quite different from how it is done here in Los Angeles county. We get notified of the week we will serve and starting Sunday night through Thursday night we need to call each day to see if we need to report in on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc. With my luck, I normally do not get called in until Friday.

The racism card is a bit harder to pull these days unless you're a senior citizen from what I hear. Not sure how true that is.

Funny enough, my mentor had one case where the defendant chose to represent himself and he purposely dismissed anyone that wasn't of the same ethnic group as him. I guess he was hoping the remaining jurors would be more likely to side with him if they share the same ethnicity.

Unless you get chosen for the juror panel and have an interesting case, no.

I do get paid at work for Jury duty, so it's not like I'd have to miss work or anything.

Depends on your work's policy. Some companies cover zero jury days, some a few, and some cover unlimited jury days. The court itself usually won't pay you some pitiful amount until you get chosen for the juror panel. My company doesn't so I have to use sick days for jury duty though I have heard in some cases the judge might require your company to still pay you if chosen for the juror panel. I have sat on the juror panel screening three times in my past three summons but was always dismissed.

Oddly enough I don't mind getting chosen for jury duty but it bugs the heck outta me when people try and weasel their way out of getting chosen by wasting the courts time with excuses that the court care naught for. There were two jurors once who said they couldn't understand English that well. Both were immigrated over when they were kids. One graduated high school here and another passed a hair dressing certification test that was in English. The judge deemed both capable of understanding English.

Pretty sure cultured is supposed to mean more than just basic etiquette. Decent is what someone who has common courtesy is. A cultured person should be well learned in various subjects aside from their country of origin. Barring that they should be well versed in pop culture of their own country. Overall, cultured to me just means well learned and exposed to diverse experiences. Not something as basic as being nice. Anyone can be nice/considerate.

Touche. I was probably thinking of "well bred" too much. I'll agree being aware of other cultures including one own is being well cultured. Far too many seem ignorant of other cultures and look down on them instead of coming to an understanding that it is simply another culture and of course certain aspects might look odd.

"You must gather your party before venturing forth"
"Go for the eyes Boo! Go for the eyes!"

My idea of being "cultured" or "well bred" is being aware of basic etiquette or common courtesy. It could be as simple as holding a door open for others, covering your mouth when you sneeze/cough, saying, "hello", "thank you" or "please", knowing when certain attires are proper or not or dressing for the occasion.

If you have kids, it's not going to be a happily ever after >_>

In general, whenever I attend a wedding, I joke about it being a person's first wedding which implies a series of weddings.

Well that's rather grim. I do not deny life becoming very challenging with kids and some of my fellow adult leaders, Scouts parents, and cousins are already dreading the junior high and high school drama that is yet to come.

But when I see the amount of effort some of these parents put into giving their sons and daughters an enriching childhood I am sure they are still enjoying themselves. Why put in so much time for your children if you're just gonna view them as the lows of your life?

As for multiple marriages, I'll admit the 50% divorce rate among the United States is demoralizing. On the flip side, all my aunts and uncles have been married for 30-40+ years. Maybe it is just a culture thing as I think divorce rate among Asians, namely Chinese, is among the lowest.

Why would you ever want to go to a wedding?

I'd say it depends on how close you are to the couples. Maybe I haven't been invited to that many but I consider it an honor to be invited especially when the couples are limited on how many guests they can invite.

Among the weddings I have attended for family and friends I always look forward to them as I am close to said family member or friend so I enjoy celebrating such joyous occasion with them. To some degrees these weddings are almost like family reunions since certain family members don't attend our annual Thanksgiving or Christmas parties.

On another note though, I have been fortunate that all the weddings I have attended are local so easily within an hour drive away. The furthest wasn't even that far and just involved a one hour boat ride to.
