I'm just being a pedant, but logically those five words do not say quite the same thing as my seventeen.

Besides, that's not entirely true. Certainly in Britain those struggling in terms of mental aptitude (the certifiably insane, the monarch etc.) do not get a vote.

On the other hand, maybe a lot of the most informed people figure that with the amount of time it takes to vote and the chance of it changing the outcome voting isn't worth it.

Wow, I´m surprised to see that Galactic Core is not hated as much as people make believe.

Or, more accurately, that more Spiderwebbers use PCs than Macs, the first of which can run Homeland, the latter of which can run Galactic Core. So naturally, Homeland is more unpopular than GC.

Those who are unfortunate enough to have played both, including myself, usually agree that Homeland is truly abysmal, whereas GC is merely mind-numbingly boring and unoriginal.

Ocean Bound is mind-numbingly boring and unoriginal. Galactic Core is just mind-numbing and happens to be boring and unoriginal.

I am sure there are less painful ways to anaesthesize someone. With a large hammer, for instance.

I love being under anesthesia. I also love Galactic Core, yet for me GC is anything but an aid to unconsciousness.

I'm also immune to caffeine, so maybe I'm just plain weird. :confused:

Be glad you are only immune to caffeine. My metabolism is so slow I only get a sugar high from the substance it's in and then crash. So it ends up having a reverse effect on me, thanks to sugary vessels.
