Sorry if you've heard this story before, but... I once stood in line behind Steven Tyler of Aerosmith at an airport. Man, for being such a cocksure rock band front man, that guy sure is short.
Also: Napoleon wasn't really that short. It's just that he was usually surrounded by really tall grenadier bodyguards, and they were also wearing tall bearskin caps. (The caps were a meta-tool to make the guy look taller and more intimidating). Napoleon looked small in stature in comparison. |

Japanese proverb: "When you're away from home, you have no shame." Ethiopian proverb: "If there is no fear of shame, there is no honor." American TV commercial: "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas."
In other words, if nobody that matters is watching, people feel free to let their inner Godzilla loose. Whether or not they actually do that is a matter of personal choice. Or maybe a matter of how big or small their inner Godzilla is. Or how much control they have over it. |

Crap, google search of napoleon complex epeen sends me back to an EVE forums thread. About make chars taller in character creator, and featuring a post by Mr. Epeen. Stuck in an EVE-O forums infinite loop.
Apparently, as yet there have been no scholarly studies of the relation between Napoleon Complex and the epeen syndrome. Is there an inverse relationship between physical height and magnitude of epeen? We may never know. |

If you just want to call anyone that has a unique opinion on the meaning of morality a 12 year old to make yourself feel better about rationalizing your own views then I guess go right ahead. There isn't much I can do for you to help you see the world in a different light. You might want to try some capitalization and punctuation though. I hear the young people don't like to use that on their tweets. so playing a game in accordance to its rules is immoral thank you for setting my moral compass straight, Captain "the guy who ganked my hulk should be fired from his job irl" Tardbar Stranger things have happened with employers. Especially at the "management team" level, where they do team-building retreats, leadership-building seminars, that kind of stuff. Seven Habits of Effective People, whatever. Senior managers/owner who believe in that kind of stuff are trying to make themselves and their team into the ultimate go-getters-leaders-achievers. A little revelation about somebody's personal traits, or their outside activities can have significant effects on how he/she's viewed by the big bosses. And therefore their future in that organization. |
