if you kill to eat, any animal is the same as chicken or pig. It's called culture difference, and don't tell me yours is right and ours is wrong

Yeah, that was this guy's argument too, but his mouth was full which is bad table manners, so instead of being convinced of cultural relativism, the police just shot him repeatedly.

American bacon is bad enough even before they slice it to molecular thickness and fry it in cheap crappy oil until it's quite thoroughly burnt.

I agree regarding the thickness (bacon tastes better with at least double the "normal" US thickness), but no one in America fries bacon in oil, crappy or otherwise. That's the fat from the bacon itself, and its spattering browning goodness is what creates the deliciousness.

Making money is priority 1, and making money requires the specialty legal/financial/scientific/medical/foo software that is only made for windows (NT 4.0) and which requires the user to be logged in with administrator privileges. And don't even think of setting up a remote desktop scenario, because the specialty legal/financial/scientific/medical/foo software needs to interact with the version of IE (6) and MS Office (97) they have installed to print to their local printer in their office which is parallel only; if they print to a copy-room printer they violate some federal regulation. Plus they don't want to walk down the hall and type in their passcode on the printer to release the document then wait while it prints.

He added that young men have been so zombiefied by games and porn that they are unable to function in basic human interactions. "It's a social awkwardness like a stranger in a foreign land", he said. "They don't know what to say. They don't know what to do."

Okay then. Subtract the porn and video games from the equation. Does that magically make guys suddenly less awkward around women? If what he's suggesting is happening, then it's not the porn and video games, it's the lack of contact with women; it's just delayed adolescence.
