Sure doesn't seem like it much anymore. Especially if you hang out in GD for any length of time.

1. Reminds me of a quote I read today

You cannot slander human nature; it is worse than words can paint it.
- Charles Haddon Spurgeon

3. Here? Or in general?

My redeeming quality is that I haven't roasted the duck.

7. Reminds me of a quote from the movie Men In Black:

"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it. "

I also like:

"Human thought is so primitive that many species look on it as an infectious disease. "

9. I play the guitar acceptably, and can be somewhat charming IRL

when I feel like it, but that's not very often any more.
When it comes to people, I much prefer the company of dogs.

10. Oh yeah, gd is ugly as sin, well, that is, if you think sin is ugly.

But I think it is a percentage. Many people teeter around 50 50, good and bad, redeeming and condemning qualities.
