Most people don't do more then 101 philosophy classes, maybe a few extra where I am from because we see it as a bullshit degree that will get you no where, I personally cannot say I disagree with that mentality.   I am currently majoring in Computer Science. Will most likely go for a masters in CS as well.  "
I agree. Unless you plan on becoming a teacher or a published author, a Philosophy Degree is entirely pointless. No offense, I took a full year of Philosophy and Critical Thought and I loved it. "
Maybe I will feel differently once I'm actually a full-time college student, but you're placing too much emphasis on what the direct return on Philosophy degree can be. Yes, there's no immediate career connection but I bet that you are a more rational and less fallacious thinker after taking that class.  Most vocations - especially anyone involved in writing or communication - can benefit from more logical thinking, something society is sorely missing. Now, if a person relies solely on philosophy as a skill set than they're probably gonna get burned.  "
That is exactly why most colleges require students to take a philosophy class, because being able to think rationally and being able to comprehend abstract ideas is something that people can apply to almost any field.

I understand why it can be useful, it gets you to comprehend abstract ideas and even come up with solutions to them. But I feel you learn to deal with abstract thought from most general education courses over your college career. But it seems like a pretty simple degree to obtain, most people I know who do have it earned it with a double major in psychology or education.

I think Metal Gear Series takes everything to a new level every time. MGS1 was superior to the metal gear games, MGS2 improved(gameplay wise) over MGS1, and MGS3 was a whole different breed of awesome compared to 2. While some would disagree, I think MGS4 ushered the MGS franchise into the modern era perfectly.

" I've never been pulled over, though I've only been driving for 5 years. I'm guessing it's because I drive to the speed limit, because, you know, I don't wanna hurt people. It's funny how people get angry about speed tickets. "I was only going 10 over!" Still, if one of your family got hit by a car going "only 10 over" and died, you'd probably want the driver to go to jail. For ever. "
Yeaaah, it sounds like you might have a tough time going fast up on that high horse of yours. KIDDING! In all seriousness, I'm actually a very contentious driver. Driving for what, 8 years, and this is the first time and it happend a minute from my house. Just one of those roads you drive on hundreds of times you get so used it but you can bet I won't exceed 24mph around here for a long time. I live out near Amish country so I'm going to match my speed to the buggies. "
Oddly enough they say most accidents and even tickets happen when you are within a 10 mile radius of your house. I never never been pulled over, but my friend was driving us back to uni when we were about 2 minutes away. He deserved it though, he was going 65 in a 40 or something like that.

scrolling is significally slower on every browser I try, chrome IE 9 and firefox 4, especially compared to the other whiskey media sites. Besides that it looks great.

" Gran Turismo 5 outsold Forza 3's total sales in the first week, to become the top selling racing game this generation.  Plus the Gran Turismo series is now at over 60 million total units worldwide, and has the most loyal and largest fanbase out of all other racing games.  So GT? "
Yeah most sold always means the best right?

You are bound to like more fruits then dislike them. The only fruit I dont like is cantaloupe, everything else that I have tried is all great. I personally love oranges, blueberries, and bananas. Veggie wise I will eat anything but peas, but that is only because I am allergic.

Their audio can be annoying, and it can be for all the Whiskey sites. Some video here will be super quiet so I have to jack up my volume. Other times, for example on tested, their intro sound to video will be SUPER loud and then the video itself will be really quiet. It not a huge deal, but it seems like something they could easily avoid.
