That's strange. F.F. Tactics isn't known to have any particular forward compatibility issues. And, even if it were, that saving problem probably still wouldn't be accounted for; F.F. Anthology and The Mortal Kombat Trilogy are among the non-compatible games, and I've played, and saved, both on my Ps...

It's all well and good to say you pity them and you weep for them, but the reason I don't respect you is that you'll talk about how much they should be pitied, yet you will do nothing to help them That's the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard.

I had a similar assignment in a high school physics class. We were given carte blanche to build a device designed to fling pies at the physics teachers. What my partners and I came up with was sort of a giant sling-shot that was very powerful and very accurate; it almost decapitated poor Mr. Walthorn.

So, a gay male who's had dozens of partners, but none of them female, is a virgin? In my opinion, the standard doesn't change to accommodate sexual preference. Semantically, yes, they're a virgin. However, to this point, the issue becomes rather academic. I should also make it clear that I think th...

Where did you pull those definitions from? I like dictionary.com's Sexual Intercourse definition; it covers both vaginal and anal sex, and perhaps oral also, depending on how you read it. Yeah, but the first definition refers explicitly to vaginal intercourse. I feel that unless you've had vaginal ...

Diet Rite tastes like ass. I'd bet it's the aspartame. I've found almost every low-fat or low-calorie food variant be quite disgusting, or, at best, significantly less enjoyable than its unhealthier alternative. I'm sure I would completely hate Diet Rite with or without aspartame. i'd really like t...

And the point of bringing this all out-- using the classic Skinnerian definitions, the current penal system is a Punishment model. That's true, and I don't believe anyone was arguing otherwise.

Taking away a toy until your son picks up his room, or withholding payment until a job is complete are examples of this. Basically, you want to remove or withhold someth...

I've always worked on the theory of if you're not sure what to do, just make the whole damn thing pink. I once applied that theory after running out of games to play with my cat; he was pissed.

Thanks Paul. The type of debate we do here is quite a bit different from high school debate, so this case might seem a little strange.
