Shadow Creator's definitions
A legitimate science that has been abused by mislead doctors for the benefit of mass society and huge drug companies. Propagated as the utter solution to everything that is wrong with society, when the causes are social. Has been expanded to include 'psychiatric genetics' (or 'behavioral genetics'), a field which attempts to convince the public that our finest behaviors are governed by genes without providing true evidence to support this claim. What 'evidence' that is presented tends to jump to conclusions (correlation =/= causation). It's also used by the general masses to absolve themselves of responsibility for their actions commonly (He did it because he was genetically predisposed to violence!). All in all, controlling for environmental factors is damn near impossible at this time, rendering most of 'behavioral genetics' worthless.
Genetics is a legitimate field, but when it becomes an enforcer of a status quo based on little or no evidence, it is nothing short of an atrocity.

Get the therapeutic hold mug.The first killzone would have been much better had they ironed out some minor issues. I wish they would just set the series in 2025 if they are going to make the weapons so similar to today's.

Get the killzone mug.A real time strategy game spanning the ages. The first one, at its release time, was quite good, albeit a bit cheesy.
The second release was horrible, and should not be touched with a ten foot pole. The fun completely disappeared and the units performed circa 1995 AI
The third installment is set for release in November of this year and already looks like shit judging based on the 'monsters' to be included as futuristic units and the technical problems in the beta.

Empire Earth had potential but was flopped. The developers were somewhat lazy with the first but it was much more forgivable because it was released in 2000.

Get the empire earth mug.I know that Bjork has lyrical talent through her writing of Skyfire's lyrics, despite never listening to her music.

Get the bjork mug.A usually normal person sometimes given too much power. While police are definitely a necessity in any civilized society (in at least one form or another), in our 'nanny state' nation cops are known for giving people tickets for going too fast, commonly when there's no one in danger, busting up teenage parties, and arresting people for smoking marijuana who are not infringing on the rights of others. They have also been used as an excuse for gun control, except that in reality you need to be able to defend yourself and not rely on someone else.
Many people hate cops because of the 'pig' stereotype. There certainly are many who fit this; pushy, angry, forceful, et cetera. While it is important to be able to keep track of someone, it's not right to resort to extreme measures for bizarre reasons of 'safety' when there is no direct threat present. Also, as described before, many people hate cops because they frequently waste peoples' time with bureaucratic nonsense instead of truly protecting the people from dangerous criminals. However, this is more related to bad laws and flaws in a greedy and shortsighted system than the officers themselves.

Ex. 1: The police had a typical day; they gave five hundred tickets to irritated motorists, and arrested some kids for underage drinking at a party. (common)
Ex. 2: Wow, that police officer really saved our life! It really seemed as though that guy was going to kill us! (rare)

Get the police mug.Oppositional Defiant Disorder: Surprisingly, it's real. A fake ass 'disorder' pulled out of the asses of a small collective of psychiatrists working for pharma companies in order to maximize revenue. Of course, there is no 'authoritarian disorder', because the parents are the ones paying. Despite the seemingly 'funny' aspect of it, this is actually considered a real disorder by many psychiatrists, a scary happening and a looming indicator of what may come.
OMG, he has ODD, force drug him, it can't have anything to do with our ridiculously excessive punishments and restrictions!
