How do you know he is sexist? Does he make sexist jokes? Because I think almost everybody does that (well at least at my work)
Lol, tell us the story!

Well, it all started when he was taking a poll around the store about whether he should get circumcised for his 18th birthday. Against all advice he decided he would anyway. Fast forward about half an hour and he's taking about 'the wrongs of mixing blood' and how its shitty that mien kampf is illegal.
I kinda miss that guy. At least he was amusing.
And most of my friends are homophobes!
Well, at least they seem to be growing out of it.

Hey, you're back!
Also, Mein Kampf is illegal? I thought it just showcased how much of a loon Hitler was.
I like this new name better. =)

It is in some countries. In Holland it is for instance not illegal to own it, nor for a library to own it however the government has the right to republish (the Dutch version) and simply doesn't. I think this is also the case in Germany. I think the Bavarian government has all rights to republish (and also doesn't)
Edit: Also what was your old name?
Well, the context in which people say things is always important, as Tence was pointing out. Although, I generally don't make sexist jokes. If he is genuinely sexist, then I imagine the conversation with him must be a little uncomfortable. I have had similar conversations with someone in the past, well, basically them just telling me how things are, and me pretending to listen. lol
I was watching a good documentary about Hitler the other night. It is was about Hitler's charisma. How he was able to put the whole nation under his spell. It is a subject that has always fascinated me really.
In his earlier years people described Hitler as being a very strange man. He was also seen as a very angry man for whatever reason. The strange thing was, he never really changed all that much, it was Germany that changed. The stock market crash of 1929 in the US had a huge affect on the German economy. This brought with it a lot of fears and prejudices. Of course Hitler simply tapped into that. He was basically telling the public what they wanted to hear.
This is the documentary if anyone is interested. You can't watch it on there unless you're in the UK though. well, you could if you used software to mask your identity. Other than that, you may find it on youtube, or other places. It is the first episode of a three-part series.

Are you referring to what I said?
The economic collapse just made the people much more receptive to Hitler and the Nazi Party. It's not really about whether Hitler was concerned with economics or not (although at that moment in time it was a big issue) it is more about that particular climate allowing Hitler to gain popularity.
I watched the documentary.

Tried out L4D2 with some friends tonight, the people vs. zombies mode. Was very fun, but the teams weren't split very evenly. Then these randoms somehow join and spend the whole time complaining "ugh look at these people... 7 hours... 2 hours... this isn't worth it" (and then continued to play/complain for the rest of the game). Thing is though, there used to be a way to get it uncensored here, but it didn't count as play time. Still annoyed the hell out of me, since who even checks that mid game?! Sadly I forgot which button voice chat was
Anyway, lets all play sometime!
Heh.

Heh.
This is perhaps the greatest thing ever.

I was just throwing a random fact. Will watch the doc later.
I haven't played much L4D2 so I'm up for it.
Well, If people are interested in a game sometime I am happy to play.
I haven't actually downloaded it yet. It's just there on my list feeling lonely about itself, hoping that one day I will notice it and give it some attention.

He has said that he thinks people of the female persuasion are less intelligent than men, because he's friends with idiots. I've told him why this is fucking moronic, but oh well.
EDIT: Also L4D2 party times sounds fun
Nah, fans are fine. My laptop just isn't up to snuff.
The big 'puter in the living room would run L4D without any problems but it's the family's so...

My fans are fine and my laptop is up to snuff. I would rather play the game on my desktop PC though. My laptop is a good few years old now, but I have had no real problems with it in terms of overheating. It's been really good in that respect. It's a Dell as well. lol
XPS.
Mine is a 5 year old Thinkpad. Not exactly ideal for gaming
Speaking of BG2, I swear this game never gets old. I can't even remember how many times I beat it and I still come back for more. Overheating can't stop me from playing it.

The best bit is when he's looking through the box thing
"Ooooh! NOOO! Aaww :C" *starts just throwing stuff over his shoulder* :lol
EDIT: Just checked what version of Return I have. It's before the 1997 version! Yaaaaay. Was that the first time Lucas did any invasive edits?
