Opinions on faking sickness to skip school, work etc.

We used to take parent-approved 'mental health days' from school. It was less about stress for us, and more about combating the boredom. Parental policy was that as long as you stayed above honor roll and passed all your tests, you pretty much made your own decisions. Worked for me and my brothers, ymmv.

Of course if I skipped school I couldn't very well show up for any of my team shit, so it's not like I really abused our 'system.' But I definitely cut my share of senior year.

There's a hole in the forum like a great black pit
and the vermin of the world inhabit it
and its morals aren't worth what a pig could spit
and it goes by the name of Spam.

At the top of the hole sit the privileged few
Making mock of the vermin in the lower zoo
turning beauty to filth and greed...

I too have read the Guild and seen its wonders,
for the cruelty of men is as wonderous as Advanced.
but there's no place like Spam!

There's a hole in the forum like a great black pit
and it's filled with people who are filled with shit!
And the vermin of the world inhabit it...

...BUT NOT FOR LONG!

Answer violence with violence?

Foster said
Responding to violence with violence is a natural knee-jerk reaction. And to most people it appears to work, especially if one can comfortably do so with minimal acceptance of responsibility for those actions of violence.Typical rationalizations for violence as preferred option:1. Kill a person? Bury the body. Done. Let the orphans feed themselves. Totally no way this can bite me in the arse.2. Broke your bones? Not my bones, so not my problem. Can't prove I did it so you don't have a leg to stand on, literally.3. Oh hey, eye for an eye. Because equal and immediate retribution is all these idiots understand. I don't have the time/patience to talk to idiots.4. Kharma / they had it coming / It was god's will that I got angry and crippled someone on the street (pretty sure the last one is a sacrilege)5. I have the law on my side, it says I can beat you to death with this stick. It's rule of thumb, bitch.^Feel free to tear those apart.In the bigger scheme of things, yeah, there are other methods one can try. Will it 'work'? Not immediately, maybe not at all... could even get worse.-But does that alone justify not even trying other ways?

I.....can't think of anybody who justifies anything in a way that remotely resembles any of your 'typical' rationalizations. I mean..... I guess three, but that's the entire subject of the thread, and you don't have time for it, so.......

Awson said Oh, and about "Project Beast." I hope it isn't a Souls title. It would be cool if they take certain aspects of those games, but go into a relatively new and fun direction.

Souls is perfect and nothing needs to be changed. They could release a new one every year and it would always be the worth the money. Still...... new is new. It'd be weirdly cool to see an installment that wasn't completely depressing. Like, a revenge souls or something. I mean it can still be dark and terrible and whatever, but epitomize a new emotion.

Hockey players = yummy. :3 Also, Rick and Morty is terribly underrated. Best new content Adult Swim's put out in years.

fucking love the show.

I hate spoilers.

Can I do kinda-spoilers?

Kinda-Spoiler

Dexter became a letdown. Watch four seasons and stop, and you'll have better memories of the show.

Kinda-Spoiler

The Killing got its fourth season cancelled, so stop after two. That ties up the first case and you won't be left hanging.

Kinda-Spoiler

No matter what you're thinking, don't stop watching Game of Thrones. But be warned the next season might kinda suck, depending on how they do it.
