Planescape Torment: Is it available in stores?

Hi,

I've really been wanting to purchase PS:T, however before I buy it online, I was just curious if it was available at any retail stores. Considering how long it has been since it came out, I doubt it, but it would be great if anyone knew if they still stock it at, say Wal-Mart or something. If ...

I'd actually have to say that I mostly play neutral evil, as that probably befits my personality in real life. I like how neutral evil characters are all about themselves, and nothing, not even party members or friends will get in the way of their goals. In my opinion, evil has many shades itself ...

I realize that judges and others are not forced to swear on the Bible. However, the point I'm trying to make is that it is a sort of "default swearing-book" in a secular court of law. Know what I mean? That whole "default" thing just annoys me.

Also, as an avid history buff (though admittedly more ...

[QUOTE=Faust]The Bible has become a symbol for the state in legal proceedings.[/QUOTE]

That this is true is quite disturbing. Though it may not be offensive for some, consider how it holds with religious minorities. If you look at it like that, it's as if the US government acknowledges Christianity ...

John Roberts: Sworn in on a Bible?

Heh, I've been posting like a maniac today; anyway, the thread about door-to-door missionaries got me thinking about other clashes with religion in secular societies.

In the United States:

I saw a picture in the newspaper this morning that showed John Roberts getting sworn in as Chief Justice ...

In response to the first post:

I feel that while obesity is a big (no pun intended :) ) problem in some developed countries, to actually regulate people's choices of what they eat, either directly or indirectly, is stepping on individual rights. Unlike smoking or drinking alcohol, consuming ...

I think that worldwide, there are similarities between the political leftists and rightists.

In general, left = more government responsibility for the people (welfare, healthcare, wage regulation)

while right = smaller government, and they view government as something created to preserve the ...

That is extremely discriminatory. Because they lived somewhere else previously, now they have to abide by harsher laws? Ridiculous.

It seems to me like some sort of mechanism for getting the immigrants 'out'. This is evident in the fact that even small-time crime may be used to deport the ...

As a practicing Hindu in a predominantly Christian country (the US), you cannot imagine how often I am talked to by these crazed idiots. I definetely agree with you. I am deeply offended that someone else would even dare to come to my home and question my religious beliefs. It is absolutely ...
