Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

Why is it that the only people who talk about the "HORROR!!!" of the European or Canadian medical system are Americans?

What do Europeans actually think?

There's probably not a single person alive in Texas who is half as intelligent as Stephen Hawking so I think I'll take his opinion over a bunch of PBR drinking Nascar fans.

Doesn't NASA have some offices there or something?

You shut your fucking mouth. You do not insult something so directly after I've been fighting it this whole thread. Uppity fuckers like you are one of the problems with the world today. I have no problem with you taking Hawking's opinion over mine, but you do not dare insult me so directly.

Are you kidding dude? I fucking love Nascar! PBR tastes like piss but it's great for getting drunk cheaply.

Oh, so its okay for you to insult my intelligence and the intelligence of 90% of the people I know, along with forcing poor stereotypes on all of us, and think its made okay by just turning around and saying you like some of it?

Hey dude, I KNOW I'm dumber than Stephen Hawking and I love Nascar and occasionally drink PBR. The reason why I'd believe Hawking's opinion over Texan's is because I'd believe his opinion over mine.

I'm just showing a little humility in front of a genius.

Was the comment I made a little stereotypical? Maybe, but who cares. What's so bad about Nascar and PBR anyways. If I wanted to offensively stereotype you I'd bring up lynch mobs and confederate flags.

Even if he said you don't have the greatest video game collection?
