Who knows anything about the human heart?
My fiance's father has had two heart attacks in the past month. He is 58 and lived in Paris for most of his life (he moved out north of Marseilles to the country 3 years ago). He is not overweight or underweight; and resists smoking. I am having to drive back and forth every weekend (about 1100 km or 700 miles) for her to visit him. What are his chances for survival? Can he get better?

Raising taxes on the rich
I was reading the forums and I am displeased by how many people think taxes should be raised on the rich. What an outrageous idea! It is the rich who create jobs that fuel the economy. In fact, last year alone my company made over 100 new jobs. If the rich have their taxes raised, even more jobs will be lost.

Buying this site
I have been looking around this site and it seems like it is a well made site. I have bought websites in the past and this seems like a worthy one. Would the current site owner contact me on how much he/she would charge for the ownership of the site.

Does cancelling a game make it impossible for a mod to investigate cheating?
If I were to cancel a game, would that make it impossible for a mod to investigate cheating in the game?

Locating a mod
Why am I so stupid I can't figure it out? I have what I think is a pretty obvious example of cheating and know enough not to accuse anyone on the forum... but even after checking the FAQ I can't figure out how to find a mod.

Inflation in GR?
Does your GR naturally rise over time? Given the statement that you supposedly improve each game you play for each experience, if you are in the top 300 now, is it natural to fall within the, say, top 150 6 months from now?

Draw vs point gain survive
Clearly, in WTA, the draw is superior. But what about in PPSC? Would you rather draw for 1/4 the stack, or take a survive for 1/3 of it? I tend to chose the second option so far, because that will maximize my points, and GR I believe.

Are there those who disagree? Do some people believe that anything less than a draw is a loss, even if it's worth more points/GR, and are these the same people that refuse to play PPSC?

Rhetorical Questions
Why does country music make me wanna punch a baby in the face? Why does Ford build a 4-cylinder Mustang? Why does most/all nun porn come out of Italy? Speaking of porn...What is up with Russia and rape/incest porn? What is up with Germany and pissing/bukkake porn? Why did I start this thread?

Please pile on with you own rhetorical questions, please. I need a good laugh.

Why would a guy need a box of free tampons? Are they that expensive? Would he use them to stop the bleeding from his pierced ears? Why would you pay for an ear piercing when tampons are surely cheaper?
because advertisers have succeeded in making you identify yourself with one type of personality which fits nicely with a certain music choice, clothes style, and entertainment choices. In order to convince yourself that the image some suit wants you to identify with really describes you, you hate all other identities and declare that they were the ones created by the suits.
well neither was yours if i can answer it so well...

Well, the tentacles are clearly "up". :-)

But seriously, the Japanese have been addicted to monsters of all varieties ever since the way WWII ended. They have had a deeply rooted fear that the radiation would produce some kind of monster (Godzilla) and that has extended into the present day with aquatic monster porn.

If a vampire can't be seen in a mirror, how the fuck does he comb his hair? Is that a permanent hair gel or something?
SacredDigits (102 D)
14 Oct 11 UTC
There's also the fact that MacArthur forced the Japanese porn industry to get more inventive. The restrictions he ushered in led to an upsurge in using drawn images rather than photographed, which led to thinking of all manner of things you can't exactly photograph.

A rhetorical question is a figure of speech in the form of a question posed for its persuasive effect without the expectation of a reply. So it's based on expectation of the questioner, not the level of the question's "answer-ability".
Pantera - your word choice of 'rhetorical' is based-upon your expectations and if I understand your POV correctly it was spot on.
I hope Santa and Sacred are also being funny even though they aren't playing your game (I am neither playing your game or being funny so I'll stop posting)

Why is internet porn always on the cutting edge of technology?

Why do porn sites have all the viruses? Don't they want repeat customers to subscribe at $39.95 a month?

Is the CIA website that's always gettiing hacked anything more than an electronic recruitment poster? Is the CIA infecting the porn websites with viruses? If you get a virus from a pron website, does that qualify as a Sexually Transmitted Disease?

Anwar Al-Awlaki
The United States has assassinated an American citizen, never having been charged or indicted; this has sent a precedent that anyone the government deems a "threat" by a legal analysis the government won't even release can be blown up from the sky. There is no outcry or even discussion among most Americans; he is a terrorist. When people exchange liberty for security, they deserve neither.

Ulysses, James Joyce
So, I'm reading Joyce's Ulysses this week as part of my studies. It's a renowned and controversial text so I figured many of you here would have something worthwhile to offer me on it. Although I expect and welcome a fair amount of comments of ridicule - I hope some of our more scholarly contributors might be able to offer me an insight/judgement or two.

"If *I* Say Its Too Hard, Joyce Has Clearly Failed.*
^True quote from a guy so pompous even *I* can't stand him (who claims to know all about...everything, and knows nothing, INISISTING English people wore no pants or anything of the sort until Henry VIII, and that tarring a guy's ball's is ESSENTIAL to understanding Huck Finn...not kidding, he said this)
1. If a work is "too hard"/unclear to you, your fault, authors's fault, or both?
2. I argued you should read such works twice, he said bull--opinions?
