Never. When was the last time you fell asleep unwillingly?

[KZ-04] GOOD END : House of Horrors
Why, neighbor? Why? Also, please verify in thread that your grandpredecessor's slot neighborized me. Yes, this is entirely true. And because I know that Robert is not Mafia, as per my 'role'.

Would you rather
Bear. I stand a chance against a bear. They can run at speeds of 30 miles per hour if I remember correctly, but I could be wrong. Either way, a shark must chase me in the water. I can't outswim a shark. The bear, of course, may have a faster charging speed than me, but I'm more agile and can dodge around trees and climb things. (Kind of like how my ancestors would avoid the bear's, now that I think of it. So bear. Yes. Bear. Would you rather live with a spouse and 10 kids, or a spouse and 30 cats?

When was the last time you...
Never, but I did take a bus to Canada once. When was the last time you saw a skyscraper?

I would disagree with the Robert Lynch and say go for Imran, as you said initially.

Would you rather
The need to sleep. The average person spends 30% of their life sleeping, so the way I see it, that's decades added to my conscious life. Plus eating after getting really hungry is one of the best feelings ever. I wouldn't want to give that up. Would you rather kill a man and receive $1,000,000,000 in payment, or not kill a man and go $1,000,000,000 in debt?

I'm game for lynching, too. No idea why or how, I just like lynchings. Probably not Robert though. Let me read the past few days first so that I know who's who.

When was the last time you...
This is a tough one. I can't think of any decisions I 'truly regretted' at the moment. I did recently accidentally melt a gaming mouse while attempting home repairs. It was this cheap one straight from China. The right mouse button broke and so I decided to try some home repairs. I didn't have any glue, so I resorted to flour and water. I was impatient so, instead of waiting for it to dry, I popped it in the oven and it melted. Anyway, back to a crappy HP mouse for a bit. I'll get a nice mouse again after the holidays (buying presents and all), and I'll get something more expensive that won't break on me when I drop it the first time. When was the last time you unintentionally melted or set fire something?

When was the last time you...
In real life? Never. However I vote for Drunken State and Bubbler Nation every Orange Senate election and have never said a word to or heard a word from either of them. When was the last time you killed organic life?

I would think that the government has little to do with reality TV, though if it did, that'd probably be the CIA's business. Wouldn't be the first time they'd tried to affect the public mindset for their own gain. I doubt this, though, as the entertainment industry is huge, and it would be very difficult to morph it, at the very least it would take a LOT of money (though the CIA does probably benefit greatly from their protected drug routes, which of course goes to show that the CIA is just the shadiest branch of the U.S. government ever). However the NSA did manage to sway Verizon and AT&T, so there's an example. Though it's fun to hypothesize about the shady things the government does, as well as discuss the things it is currently doing, I doubt that this has anything to do with the government at all, and is just a PR stint done by a private corporation. Either them backpedaling or trying to make money off controversy. Either way, it brought much attention to the show. If I had a private multimillion dollar business, I'd probably pay PR guys to do these same things. Edit to fix awful quote formatting.

When was the last time you...
I did a theatre program once where we had professional Shakespearean actors come down from Canada to the U.S. to give us all a crash course in acting for PR purposes to demonstrate their ability. They had lots of live-action role-playing games to loosen everyone up and destroy inhibition. When was the last time you destroyed something of value accidentally?

The Dream Post
A cute story. I like dogs. Once I start a family of my own I think I might get one. I couldn't justify getting one now because I lack the ability to give one all the attention it'd need, so I'd need a spouse who liked pets and a child to help divy up that responsibility. I do really like your dream though. I wish I had dreams that happy. Usually the ones I have involve being chased by my emotions, the reality of my situation, or aliens.

When was the last time you...
Night before last night. Comfortably laid down in bed and just gradually started to loosen one muscle group at a time until my entire body felt immediately relaxed and at peace. Slept like a rock. When was the last time you broke the law?

No one has ever been fired for being a Socialist, Progressive, Democrat, Gay, or even an employee of a former President... (that was a joke). Please educate yourself before you talk about things you clearly know nothing about. I apologize if I was incorrect, as it was I admit an unfair assumption, and an assumption. However I still believe that it's a fairpoint that FOX News is heavily biased against Liberal policies and viewpoints, given that it was created under the premise of being a Republican News station, and also that it is owned by Rupert Murdoch would help fuel that point. Either way, it's still heavily biased to Conservative viewpoints in its news, as A&E is biased toward Liberal viewpoints and mindsets in its shows, and is an example of a bias for the opposing 'side'. I am sorry if my statement was false, and I'll attempt not to fall into a pit like that again, but my point stands that it is biased toward Republican ideals. More assumptions on your part. Fox News was created on the fact... yes fact... that all news outlets are run by, and staffed by, Liberals. Rupert Murdoch owns News Corp., which is the parent company of Fox News. He does not run Fox News. Roger Ailes was the creator of Fox News, and is to this very day the brains behind the entire operation, including Fox Business Network. Fox News is the only network where Conservatives have a voice. The only place where they get a fair shake. That's why they are bigger, better, and watched by more people than all the rest combined. The only show that is all Republican, all the time, is Sean Hannity. He has dozens of Liberals that frequent his show every night to debate the issues. It's always a robust debate. Bill O'Reilly is always accused of being a Republican but is actually an Independent. People mistake him as a Republican because he is a devout Catholic, therefore has many Conservative views. There is The Five which is a show designed like The View but with brains. There are always 4 Conservatives and 1 Liberal. These are all opinion shows and cater to the overwhelming Conservative audience that watch Fox. There are Megyn Kelly and Greta Van Sustern. Both are hard news journalists and are both lawyers. Greta came from CNN years ago and works out of Washington DC. She was a Criminal Attorney before TV. Megyn is a true superstar and comes from a Corporate Law background. Out of New York she owns 9pm eastern. These women base their shows first and foremost on the law and it's effects on the political landscape, never from an ideology. Megyn Kelly is one of my favorite Fox people, along with Greg Gutfeld. If you want to bash Fox News for being biased, I will ask you, as opposed to what? Everyone else? There is no where else for a Conservative to go, and I am a proud card carrying member of the Republican Party. I said earlier on these pages that I know History and Politics, I didn't think I would be tested on both here. But if you ever wish to throw a Progressive bomb or use Saul Alinski tactics here, be prepared. I will call you out and spank you in front of the class. I don't make widgets for a living... Politics is what I do. No one has ever been fired for being a Socialist, Progressive, Democrat, Gay, or even an employee of a former President... (that was a joke). Please educate yourself before you talk about things you clearly know nothing about. I apologize if I was incorrect, as it was I admit an unfair assumption, and an assumption. However I still believe that it's a fairpoint that FOX News is heavily biased against Liberal policies and viewpoints, given that it was created under the premise of being a Republican News station, and also that it is owned by Rupert Murdoch would help fuel that point.

Fox News was created on the fact... yes fact... that all news outlets are run by, and staffed by, Liberals. Rupert Murdoch owns News Corp., which is the parent company of Fox News. He does not run Fox News. Roger Ailes was the creator of Fox News, and is to this very day the brains behind the entire operation, including Fox Business Network. Fox News was created by Murdoch though, and Roger Aisles was handpicked by him to run it, as Rupert can't do everything. All of Fox and Fox News' sister channels are also all in the end owned by Murdoch, and those Murdoch decides to put in charge. He's the man at the top. I never said this was bad, but even if Fox News is the only channel where Republicans 'have a voice', it's still biased. I never intended to bash it, nor did I say anything necessarily negative. I just meant to imply that almost all news or television outlets are biased in some way or to one side. You can't really find news that is entirely unbiased at all. I'll admit I made an inaccurate statement up front, but I'll retain that Fox News is biased and that Rupert Murdoch is really the man in charge. Sure Roger Aisles is the brains of the operation, but he only is because Murdoch put him there and was happy with his work. From what you've said, you seem very opinionated about this, and if it is alright, could I ask you some questions in PM? I do very much enjoy raking the brains of people who think differently than me, seeing as they force me to compare them to my own. Depending on how good certain arguments are, I'm open to letting my opinion change. I'm not asking if I can debate with you, but rather have a civil private discussion where I might ask you of some political opinions of yours for a little while. I'm curious about your opinions. That and also I don't want to derail the thread anymore than we already have here.

Would you rather
Glass bones. Most bones are pretty thick, and just their shape is pretty sturdy. I'd be horribly frail, but at least I could go outside in the rain and not have my skin melt. Assuming you were forced to and had the choice of which of the two, would you rather go back in time and murder Hitler or Stalin?

Missed this post somehow, but I guess GQ is the only winner in this situation. He's pretty popular, though, so maybe they were trying to grab some new readers off the reality show's fanbase. I'm one of the few people I know of who still haven't watched the show, but maybe now I'll have to try an episode. (Considering that I'm now curious about the show, however, makes me wonder if Duck Dynasty is actually capitalizing off this stint somehow.)
