Jury nullification should not be a banned topic. It's perfectly legal and is the only direct way citizens can object to interpretations of the law. The very fact that the courts and government don't want people to know of it is a testament to its effectiveness in cases where the public will opposes the government in matters of law. Particularly when public opinion differs drastically from a strict interpretation of the law, but most especially when citizens find a law, its often limited proponents, or its execution to be objectionable, unconscionable, cruel, or unwilling to take circumstances into consideration. It's crucial for us to all understand our limited power over the government, especially when it's acting in an oppressive manner, violating human rights, ignoring the principle of justice in favor of a literal interpretation, or is otherwise objectionable by the majority of citizens as opposed to the minority of lawmakers.

GM: You see a beggar in the snow, what do you do?

CN: I plink him in the face with copper pieces while making fun of him.

GM: Dafuq?

CN: Then when I run out of money I grab him and say "okay, it's your turn, let's switch places!"

GM: He freaks out and runs away.

CN: I chase him, sword out, and shout "Come back and be my friend you little broke removed!"

When cats bring you food, mice, birds, etc. it's because they think you're an especially stupid cat, but they like you enough to keep trying to take care of/teach you.

This was me with a number of words over the years, but most memorable "paradigm."

While according to the rules of most RPGs you are technically correct, and therefore according to Futurama the best kind of correct, it still won't work that way.

Well you're asking for swordsman to fight skeletons, that's your first mistake. What you need is a steel drivin' man.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Soundblaster. They have that stupid card a Transformer name and none of us ever questioned it.

It's not even an original concept. It's just the popular kid.

Jigsaw. It's what the puzzles are named after, after all.

Soul mates are such nonsense. You're trying to tell me that out of what, 7 billion humans now, exactly one of them is my soulmate? Yeah no. Even if it was even a 1 in 1,000 chance the odds suck. You're gonna need to lower them expectations bub.
