For the record, the revenge web site question came up after I read an article about a teacher getting fired when pics of her showed up on such a site. In that thread, one post made me think about this heartbreaking topic. Bullgrit

Ha!* No, it's just that sometimes one discussion brings up ideas for another topic. I've many times held back starting 5-6 threads in a row from a train of thought spun off from one or another discussion. * I literally smiled and chuckled at this comment. But saying "Ha!" after that kind of...

The thread on revenge web sites made me wonder this. Have you ever broken someone's heart? I don't mean just disappointed someone, but really broken their heart. Did doing so also break your heart, or give you a lot of guilt? Did you fear what the other person might do, to themselves, to you, or...

I didn't want to hijack that other thread, but this brings up a good topic for discussion. Looking at just superhero films/movies, (not the books they may have been based on), because films/movies are how most non-geeks know of superheroes: What are the examples of people who were heroes...

From what I remember of the Punisher back in the earlier days, (20+ years ago), Frank confiscated the money found around his opponents. At the very least, he had hundreds of thousands of dollars stashed around various safe houses and bases. And he's had some fancy gadgets through the years...

Which character is better at what they do: Batman or Punisher? They're both non-powered humans who fight crime closer to "street level" than the superheroes in their worlds. They both work in the shadows, outside the law, to take down evil criminals with terror and violence. Now, I'm not asking...

Do you play any kind of big lottery? If so, why? If not, do you have a reason other than just don't care to? Bullgrit

What would justify posting something to a revenge web site. For the record, all I ever hear/know about these such things is that people post naked pictures to them. You're talking about comments, so I guess there's more than just pics? Bullgrit

If you were dating, and you found out someone you were interested in had previously posted "stuff" of their ex to a revenge web site, would you continue with interest in that person? Bullgrit

Some people like to salsa, some people like to slam dance. Bullgrit

It's not about simple disagreement. Friends can and do and will disagree all the time. Even sometimes vehemently. But *friends* [edit: at least my kind of friends] disagree without being mean jerks to each other. Bullgrit

I once almost lost a friend because I was on the opposite of a discussion from him, "teamed up" with an obnoxious jerk. The discussion was about "good restaurants," (of all pointless things), and the guy who agreed with me chose to belittle and insult my friend's choices. The jerk was just an...

This is a completely self-contained topic. We can limit this concept to real world, real life, in person discussions. Bullgrit

Ever been in a discussion, (in the Real World, in a face-to-face situation), where the "side" you agree with has an advocate who is just being a total jerk? You want to participate, and state your view of the topic, but to do so will essentially put you on the same side as someone you find...

Well said, and well handled. Bullgrit

Especially #4: http://www.cracked.com/article_19583_the-6-weirdest-things-that-are-ruining-your-memory.html As a blogger, I know I'm expected to take pictures of everything I do, but I often forget to do my "duty." I'd rather live the moment than record it. I guess this means I'll actually...

My wife sometimes likes to have some music playing during romantic moments. (Although she likes this, we rarely actually stop in a moment to turn music on once events start to unfold.) Several days ago I made a quick playlist on my phone for some mood music -- about 15 or so songs. Then the...

It's always those who use words to harrass, annoy, and offend people who then claim to wonder how mere words could possibly bother anyone. It's always trolls who cry offense when called a troll. You know, a polite, well-meaning person when explained that politeness is expected somewhere...

Dioltach, that's a hilarious video. Thanks for linking it. (I can't give you xp now.) Bullgrit
