Mar 21, 2012 - well that guy has a point. adversity often is the opportunity for something great. i mean look at the venus project, it needs the current economic system to collapse before it can become reality.

Mar 28, 2012 - I still skipped the commercial, so I guess I'm a bad person. Although I wouldn't have bought the watch anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter.

Apr 5, 2012 - LOL. Yes, because America is a beacon of purity and righteousness.You must stand in awe at the power of social conditioning. "Other countries are corrupt. Mine is perfect!"
Chnamanjx Says:
Apr 5, 2012 - Well I didn't say America doesn't have corruption, all it's corruption is at the top.I meant endemic as in the it's corrupt from top to bottom, even the local DMV clerk is openly asking you for a bribe to get a license, or the local government official is demanding a bribe to open a business.

Apr 11, 2012 - watched are assembled, then dissassembled, then reassembled. the bit that people look at and judge the "quality" of a watch by is just a sticker that takes three seconds to put.
