    How would you like to die?

    Peacefully in my bed, having lived a long and fulfilling life, with those who I love sitting around me.

    Curiosity.....Opinion Please!

    I'd like to clarify my position by saying that this is my view as well. Cup size is only one issue in determining physical attractiveness, and physical attractiveness carries only so much (or so little) weight when long-term partnerships are concerned. That being said, I'm of the opinion that...

    Curiosity.....Opinion Please!

    In my opinion, it's a question of statistics. Some men like big boobs regardless of authenticity, some men find fake breasts uncomfortable. Personally, I think the former are way the majority, by far and large. It's kinda sad to be honest, but that's my view and experience. On the off chance...

    Part 7 - Comic 6

    I wonder what ship she is referring to. There are the fighters of the other Icebreakers inside that hangar, and maybe a few old Medusas. But I guess she is referring to some other craft we haven't seen or noticed. Or have I missed something? It seems I am having difficultes opening the pages...

    2010 Vancouver Olympics Thread

    These are the winter olympics, you know. Australia might be slightly challenged climate-wise.

    Walk away from your mortgage because you were an idiot.

    So you believe fair play and common decency should take precedence over contractual obligations? Edited to add: Apparently, the bank saw it necessary to add this clause to zero's loan contract. If they were prevented from doing so by some means, or from enforcing the clause, then I guess...

    Walk away from your mortgage because you were an idiot.

    If I may interject in the conversation, I must say I agree with you on that. I think it is definitely wrong to take advantage of others when they are weaker than you, do not fully understand what they are getting themselves into, trust you not to trick them, or are disadvantaged in some other...

    Walk away from your mortgage because you were an idiot.

    I'm with zero on this one, assuming I have correctly understood how the house mortgage loans are set up in the United States. In my view, the biggest determining factor on this is that mortgages are business transactions, with a contract which defines the obligations for both parties. And...

    Walk away from your mortgage because you were an idiot.

    Perhaps one significant issue in why nations and corporations have it easier than private individual in these matters is the scale involved. If one owes the bank say USD100.000 and can't pay it back, it's much the debtor's problem. If one owes the bank several billions and can't pay it back, it...

    Walk away from your mortgage because you were an idiot.

    But isn't there also an interest premium based on the risk of default or delay, so that the bank will charge more interest on a loan if credit risk is high? And if the hazard to the risk is that the bank is saddled with a house that's worth less then what the bank ended up paying for it and...

    Walk away from your mortgage because you were an idiot.

    They're businesses. I'm not sure decency in and of itself should be a primary concern. As companies, banks need to operate in accordance with the law, and there's always an element of risk in any business. If there's nothing in the US federal or state law to prohibit this kind of behavior from...

    Walk away from your mortgage because you were an idiot.

    And jack up their interest rates. Higher risk = Higher interest premiums. Which is bad all round when you think about it.

    Part 7 - Comic 3

    A phoenix rising from the ashes, eh? Quite a fitting image, at least considering the Plague. I wonder what that dog in the lower part symbolizes. Can't be loyalty, because the lot are all a bunch of damned rebels...

    Part 7 - Comic 3

    I guess it could have been any or all of those factors. I'd like to offer one further possibility, as far-fetched as it may be. Biologically speaking, with humans the maximum rate of population growth has more to do with the number of women than the number of men. A single man produces...

    Nostalgic Food

    For me, nostalgic would be regular spaghetti with a kind of sauce my mom makes. I used to love it as a kid, and even today, I find it tastes delicious and also brings back memories. One time a couple of years ago, I asked mom to make this spaghetti for my birthday dinner. But she used this...

    Part 7 - Comic 2

    Well, what I had in mind was certain line of conversation being reserved for communicating hidden messages. Starting out with it will get your partner's attention. The main message to be conveyed is something like "I screwed up Story A, I'm soon going to 'crack' and 'confess' to story B", which...

    Part 7 - Comic 2

    I'm not sure the coordination of the stories really needs to be an open discussion on what to say next, it could also be several levels of pre-arranged back-up stories and seemingly innocent signals to inform the other person that a level has been breached and that they need to fall back. A...

    Part 7 - Comic 2

    Well, I have very little knowledge of intelligence or law enforcement interrogation methods. But in the cop and spy shows I've seen on TV, they often tend to keep suspects as separated as possible, to limit the chances of them doing damage control in case one of them slips up during questioning...

    Part 7 - Comic 2

    This page does seem to strongly hint at the Plague being a terran ploy to weaken Chara. The "mission" the spies were given certainly stinks of BS based on the information on this page, what kind of intelligence on charan military strength could they hope to gain from within a jail cell...
