I'm playing through my import copy atm. They've upped the difficulty by a ton. The first gym actually changes depending on your starter, in favor of trumping you hard.

Strange computer issues
That's why I don't like XFX, they're pretty low quality and I've seen multiple of them fry for no reason on some of my friends. Their graphics cards aren't bad though. Mine's lasted two years and no frying issues. As for their PSUs, no idea.

Your Unique Talents
I can put both of my legs behind my head and get my arms into position, and with some effort, roll around like a ball.

92/105/90/125/90/98. Add on a lack of a 4x ice weakness or Stealth Rock weakness, and the fact it looks ridiculously powerful.... It also has Levitate as another ability to use. Seriously, it's Latias minus some speed and with all the power behind Draco Meteors, minus a huge Pursuit weakness. We're talking about the goddamn DRAGON typing, which is as good as Psychic was back in Gen 1.

so.... i appear to be pregnant
I guess from what I'm inferring, there is a father figure. I think you'll probably do fine with the baby unless unforseen circumstances happen or something.

Gun Control
A chunk of metal flying at 1200FPS (feet per second) is dangerous, no debating this. It can easily penetrate skin, bone, maybe a few more things simply enough. I doubt most people can survive more than one or two bullets. Then there's extreme cases, like this girl, who took six bullets and survived. And is still fully functional. http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=4646774

I think that Dark/Dragon is a possible ubers candidate. It can freely spam Draco Meteor without stat drops ._.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Yeah, just have fun with it, but don't look completely stupid while doing so. That said, if you can, why not show off? I personally can hardstyle, for instance.

I'm not sure a study on it can be done safely or accurately. That kind of thing would break a few of the ethics guidelines for Psychology I believe. Precisely. Then there's moral red tape involved. I don't know if you really can prove something like this empirically or otherwise.

Medals of Honor
I've heard of this. Using your body and a helmet supposedly absorbs the whole blast, protecting everyone else nearby, even if there is a risk of it killing you in the process, if I'm not mistaken. It's still extremely risky either way you cut it, and for that, the dude deserves the medal.

But such images could entice people to go for real images, which does hurt children and therefore is not protecting anyone. I'm happy with the restrictions the UK has on such imagery. Got a link proving this? I really haven't seen a link about this, ever. No studies have been done on it either, or if there have, I don't know of it.

Gun Control
That chart mentions violent crimes, but doesn't make it clear the amount that involved a gun. Besides, if you ban guns, people will just use the next best thing. Humans are rather crafty.

Can I reasonably beat Nomad?
Get better stats. You CAN do it at that level, but it'll be brutally hard. If anything, get your ranged level up, 75 just won't cut it. And prayers only mitigate some damage, so boost defense while you're at it. Let's put things this way: With 90 Constitution, 83 Ranged, 85 Defense, 72 Prayer, 84 Magic, and the same Summoning level, it took me no less than 3-4 tries, and even then it came down to luck. Learn the pillar trick if you plan on attempting at your current level.

Gun Control
There are. See the graph below, compiled by the Australian home office. The US has relatively lax gun laws, while Britain and Australia are restrictive. Notice anything? That doesn't mention "gun crime", only "violent crime". If you're attempting to prove that guns actually lower crime rates, then that isn't helping. Not all crimes are perpetrated with a gun. Naturally, if criminals knew that someone had a gun and wouldn't hesitate to use it in defense, they'd probably steer clear.

So that's where your signature came from... I've been reading Double K recently though. Think Gurren Lagann, buddy cop style. And it's still fuelled by the rule of cool. It's as awesome as it sounds.

She's pretty, I'll give you that. And that You Belong With Me song made me happy for some reason.

Justin Bieber
The dude's voice sounds like it has not deepened at all. That's a pretty good sign of a major lack of testosterone. That, or he's either a castrati or can somehow hit those octaves.

so.... i appear to be pregnant
I'm personally pretty 'neutral' regarding the whole matter. On one hand, if she can take good care of the baby, it'll probably grow up to be fine, if the money that is needed is there. On the other hand, there already is a bit of an over-population issue... EDIT: I'm not clear, is there going to be a 'father' figure involved for the baby? If there is, then I'd imagine the baby should be just fine. I've seen worse. A LOT worse.

Gun Control
I disagree. Two people are not an acceptable sample to make a generalization from a statistical point of view. You might also apply the scenario to other school shootings, but there's one common factor between nearly all of the shooters: Most of them had mental illnesses, and something, somewhere was a mere catalyst. Guns don't kill people, people kill people.
