That FAQ idea sounds lovely, it'd be much more pleasant than hearing Leon and Korey bitch about how they get the same questions every week.

I was in Politics today, and we had a brief talk about Obama's Homosexual marriage approval, and one of the main points that people brought up was that it could be harmful to him in states such as New Mexico, Arizona, perhaps even California, due to the fact so many Hispanics are Roman Catholics. I've often thought that as the Hispanic population increases then the Democratic Party will need to, at least on 'moral issues' need to become a lot more Conservative in order to gain votes. If things continue the way they are going then in a few years time there's going to be a large portion of the population who will follow their strong religious beliefs, liberal help to minorities be damned (actually soon they won't be minorities) and they will choose Catholicism over Democrat wishes for a pro-homosexual stance from their voters.

re: Geek/Nerd Classification -

It's actually a pretty simple distinction. Geeks are people who - for the most part - lead normal lives. They have social skills, they go to a regular job, they participate in society... they just have something (or many things) which they are overly passionate about. You can be a sports geek, you can be a beer geek, you can be a comics geek, etc. Basically, it's something that you love and adore in an outward and open fashion.

Nerds are the typical stereotype that most people incorrectly attribute to geeks. Nerds are the people who generally lack social skills (or grooming) but are not just passionate about something, but almost obsessive. They obsess over the minutae of whatever topic they are interested in. Sports nerds can tell you who played third base for the Mets in 1983 and what someone's RBI was in any given season. Comic nerds can tell you what issue and page The Lizard first appeared in Spider-Man and what the creators were thinking when they designed the character. "Nerds" are the people who not only enjoy a hobby, but focus so specifically on it that it becomes unappealing or overly esoteric.

Lastly, "fanboys". The term fanboy is a sub-classification of nerds and geeks. It's the state of someone not only enjoying something and being passionate about a topic, but taking that one step over the line where they feel superior or entitled in some way BECAUSE they have that topic of interest. For instance, they loved the first two Nolan Batman films, so they feel like that makes them superior in some way and like Nolan can do no wrong. It's the "hipster" version of being a geek or a nerd (hipster generally connotates a social classification or taste in music or the social scene). Fanboys are the people who make us all look bad because they go too far. They act like they deserve something special just because they're a fan.

That's the way I personally classify them, and it seems that most of the people I know follow these guidelines as well. However, since both "geek" and "nerd" used to be used in a derogatory way, people often fail to see the distinction and use the term interchangeably when they are drastically different. The guy you know who has a girlfriend and works at an office and goes out drinking with his buddies and just reeeeally likes Superman? That's a geek. The strange and awkward guy who interrupts your conversation to rattle off some angry and longwinded rant on how Superman's costume is supposed to be red and black because the original comic book couldn't replicate black colors properly so it came out blue (I have actually had someone come at me with that one)... that's a nerd. Those guys on the forums who think that Nolan is some kind of mega-God who's infallible (or the guys who hate on the new Spider-Man film just because they liked the Raimi films)... those are fanboys. Hope that clears it up a little. :)

flavor of love is the black bachelor? i really hope you guys are joking. That show is the opposite of the bachelor.  It is amazing how some peoples minds work. This is why we have racism.

What is the big deal about the KFC ad? Spill uses a variety of ads. what is bad about KFC?

The main page is a carousel so i highly doubt that  the KFC ad only shows up on ACOCO. I swear sometime some of you like to create drama for no reason.
