About Me:	DDO Hall of Fame member. If you look at my Bio it mentions trolling 8 times and my debating skills only once, so that alone summarizes what kind of member I am. I also host the Weekly Stupid, a nice little show I put together and air once every two weeks for entertainment, it causes a lot of hullabaloo though and has led to some to call for me being banned. I do a lot of trollish debates meant for sh*ts and giggles and will happily do one that is sent to me as long as its less then 5 rounds. I am very liberal but I tend to not show it due to the sheer number of conservatives and libertarians on the site, so I rarely do political debates. I am very proud of the few serious debates I do get into (even though I lose most of them) so if you want a list of them simply scroll down until you see the links.
Activities:	This and actively trying to not get a girlfriend so that I can have all of this me time, and all this money, and not hate my life. I also am looking forward to the Mac release of SimCity and again, Weekly Stupid.
Beliefs:	I believe in anything thats not ridiculous, and sometimes I will even make an exception because if I didnt, then it would be ridiculous.
Books:	Dont really read books any more even though I was a massive nerd for the Harry Potter series..... I can probably read any book though that doesnt involve love sick vampires who cant get their priorities straight though.
Movies:	Super 8, Anchorman, Contagion, All of the Iron Man movies, A Haunted House, Saving Private Ryan, The Dark Night, 310 to Yuma, Cloverfield, inception, the book of Eli, Hancock, Robin Hood, Tangled, War Horse, Avengers, Thor, Captain America, How to Train your Dragon, Any Batman movie made after 2002, Argo, Zero Dark Thirty, Wreck-It Ralph, Ted, and thats only about 13% of the list....
Music:	Anything thats not rap and not anything new from Taylor Swift. Seriously, one of her Ex boyfriends needs to write a song called "Maybe its you" because her new work is just getting ridiculous..... I am a huge fan of "Trouble" though, amazing song.
Quotes:	"Why? because f*ck you thats why"
Sports Teams:	Baseball: Red Sox (I know they stink), Football: Indianapolis Colts, Hockey: Not fond of hockey (too many lockouts), Basketball: Miami Heat (I know you hate them)
TV Shows:	The Daily Show, Colbert Report, Scrubs, The Office, Seinfeld, The Walking Dead, Falling Skies, How to Train your Dragon (its a TV show on Cartoon Network), ESPN, And any show that has Anderson Cooper

•	Abortion	ProComments I am for abortion but still against late term abortion
•	Affirmative Action	ProComments I do support welfare just for those who are willing to work for a job but I will still support welfare for those who are less fortunate regardless of my preference for how it should work
•	Animal Rights	ProComments Because animals are more like people than any corporation
•	Barack Obama	ProComments I have low standards but I still like where we are now from where we were four years ago, even if our recovery isnt as fast as we would have hoped
•	Border Fence	ProComments Illegal immigrants have a complex impact on the economy where their presence is not completely harmful nor beneficial, but I support the border fence since it helps fight illegal narcotics
•	Capitalism	ProComments AMERICA, THATS WHY
•	Civil Unions	ProComments Lets face it if your against letting gay people be together in an institution that isnt marriage, then youre probably an a**hole
•	Death Penalty	ProComments AMERICA, THATS WHY
•	Drug Legalization	ConComments Im on board for marijuana legalization, but im against legalizing other hardcore drugs like meth and crack.
•	Electoral College	ProComments Gives more power to smaller states so that candidates dont just campaign in California, New York, Florida, and other big states
•	Environmental Protection	ProComments Humanity is doing unimaginable damage to the environment and we should devote funds to protect it and not allow polluting corporations to destroy the planet for future generations just so that they can make a quick profit.

•	European Union	ProComments Better that Europe be working together than fighting each other and sooner or later dragging in America to sort out the mess

•	Federal Reserve	ProComments They control our monetary policy and if they didnt, Congress would, and THAT would be disastrous.
•	Flat Tax	ConComments A flat tax puts an immense burden on the less fortunate and would never be enough to create a balanced budget that doesnt tax the poor to death
•	Free Trade	ProComments AMERICA, THATS WHY
•	Gay Marriage	ProComments People need to grow up and just let it happen. People against Gay Marriage are comparable to those who were against black people having rights at all following the Civil War

•	Military Intervention	ConComments When it is used it drags the US into prolonged conflicts 9 out of 10 times
•	Minimum Wage	ProComments Same as labor unions

•	National Retail Sales Tax	ConComments I dont like any new taxes but if it is proven to substantially lower the debt then Id be supportive of it

•	Racial Profiling	ConComments Its racism....
•	Redistribution	ProComments God taught us to help those who are less fortunate by giving to them what we dont need. I see nothing wrong with it.

•	Term Limits	ProComments I like the idea
•	Torture	ConComments come on, torture is pretty f*cked up
•	United Nations	ProComments Better the UN sort out world problems than the US. Besides as a neutral organization it could handle situations much better than the US could.
•	War in Afghanistan	ProComments We had every reason to go in there and wait until al-qaeda and the Taliban were significantly weakened, but even I will admit that we didnt need to stay as long as we did
•	War on Terror	ProComments We live in a world where armed groups of individuals are just as dangerous as rouge nations, and since these individuals are more inclined to attack us then any rogue nation, we should be fighting a war on them.
•	Welfare	ProComments Same as social programs
