Hope these have about run their course.
Attacks on adventure gaming (I'm still having trouble with the term) run
from inciting a war mentality (we all know plenty whose actions and talk
fit the bill, but hope they'll succumb to the GW-hype that Karl
mentioned),
to ungodly (aren't we amused there's a Christian collectable card game?)
to
childish ('nuthin childish about a man that recognize a Sherman in
Tiger's
clothing in a movie, or hundreds of other historical details), to just a
waste of time and space (well, Karen does have a point there... ;->= ),
to
the wrongness of gambling (sigh).
Jalinth, I admire your energy and quick wit, but, as with the
proselytizers
shouting on our campus near the student union, confrontation only
energizes
them, and gives 'em an audience. Walk away with a smile and a 'thank you
very much', and they are usually sputter more than your surprised
acquaintance.

Oh and for the record I will be 29 for the next 56 days, after that my
age
may vary ;)

Funny, I usually hear something like: Oh and for the record I will be 29
for the next 56 days, and will NEVER vary thereafter. ;->=
As an aside inspite of wanting these to 'run their course', while I
received numerous warnings about turning 30, I found, and have since had
others concur, that 35 is FAR more dangerous.
