| I'd watch it, if they had any decent sex scenes. If it follows the book, there should be. And this is what I hate. Invention is creation. And you can't make a dime off invention unless there is some social benefit, even if it is kitchy and has nothing to do with medicine and is only leisurely pursu... |

| The initial amount of currency is varying between nations. The East India Company is a profit-driven stock-market company which is controlling British India. It's goal is to be profitable, so it cannot save money as efficiently. Actions per turn are derived from prestige. 25 prestige = 1 action. Bri... |

| I am sorry that I am posting this here instead of in the game forum, but the game forum is swarmed with mentally suffocating number games without any purpose at all. The premises of this game are simple. The players play as decision-makers in countries. The player define his or her goals by him- or ... |

| Illuminati is a belief system which people who feel alienated from society are using as an explanation in order to make a complex world look simple. It is also a convenient way of ignoring social problems. |

| Should this ever be allowed? Surely not, as quite obviously, Christianity is against homosexuality. Whether thats right or not is a different issue. But in no way should the church change its policies to accommodate for gays, thats not equality. I'm not religious myself, but if people of the same s... |

| Simple question: Would you support a town run by autistics where 80% or more of the people are autistic or parents/spouses of autistics? Naturally, neurotypicals wouldn't be excluded from living there, but those that aren't autistic or living with autistics would be discouraged from moving there an... |

| I got called Peter Pan when I was 6 years old. I've always hated change and I didn't want to go into grade 2. In fact every year I wanted to stay in whatever grade I was in. And now, at 25, I don't want to work or live independently. Currently, other people don't think I am capable of it too. I wan... |

| Do you think there is a correlation between being on the Autism Spectrum and what is popularly called the "Peter Pan Syndrome"? Yes, probably. Most people are showing a herd-like behaviour, where you are expected to have a work, house, driving license, dog and so on at different stages in your life... |

He talked unreasonably loud, and beat his hands against the arms of his chair. I have told him many tim... |

| One thing which I don't recognise is not being the master of my own thoughts. I am always thinking, very intensely. So much that I sometimes forget the surroundings. My actions as well were often a result of open, deliberate defiance rather than an inability to adapt. For example in kindergarten, wh... |
