that I miss Big Macs TERRIBLY! To me, McDonald's like writing letters to a well-built inmate in the hopes of finding a husband. :P :rofl:

Because the majority seem to worship money and power and try to convince other people that is all that matters to. No responsibility to others just you and yours, is like a mantra for a lot of them. There are also a number of bigots in the Thug party, at least a number of them that I met are. Not all just most. In my book if people chose to be nasty morons and you dislike them for it that's one thing, but to dislike people simply because of how they were born, a thing they have no control over,is just pathetic and mean spirited.

So yep, the Thugs are the poster child for all that I personally consider to be evil.

6. The inherent nature of human societies.
Our nature as social primates, with hierarchically structured, group-oriented socialisation, leads to in-group octracism and subjugation of the socially 'inferior' and out-group hostility to 'outsiders', which leads to all sorts of nastiness. (See: religious conflict, political conflict, ethnic conflict, and violent rivalries among fans of opposing sports teams on an intra-society scale; war on an inter-society scale.)

18. Nah, he rocks a pimp cane.
Much more stylish and practical for going upside people's heads.

He does own a trident, which he's pretty cool about lending out though, since he never uses it anyway.

24. Testosterone out of control is the biggest evil there is.
There would be no Repuglican Party at all without too much of it. I'm not saying any of it is evil, just too much of it. Every bad act you can think of that hurts people is based on too much machismo and too much testosterone.
