an avid computer gamer and enjoy MMORPGs such as World of
Warcraft as well as first person shooters such as Battlefield 3. I play poker at a local bar about once a month with some buddies. My political views are generally center. I tend to be liberal on some issues such as abortion and gay rights, but conservative on school discipline, welfare/medicare, and the war on terrorism. I am a protestant. I am a home owner and I live in Texas but I was born in Oregon.

information. Knowledge may not be a reliable source, but it's great for any research project looking to get started and find sources. I also wish folks could put
Knowledge's policies in context and realize this is an encyclopedia; and then they wouldn't get upset that their page on their cat "Fluffy" was deleted and call me a 'virgin asshole (even though I have two kids) who gets a hard on deleting pages.'
402:
I am a 25 year old USAF Staff
Sergeant, married, with two kids. I am a computer programmer and fluent in about a dozen language. I really enjoy reading young adult science fiction/fantasy novels and generally like a bit of older teenage romance in the stories (not to the Twilight level). I'm also

I enjoy maintenance work that doesn't take a lot of time. I tend to get distracted easily so I can't get heavily involve in anything or else I'll get interrupted. I also enjoy reading, so even when I am doing maintenance work I often stumble on an article that peaks my interest and then I end up

The community. I enjoy the collaboration with folks of all different cultures. The only kinds of people who don't fit in
Knowledge are folks with extremist points of view (whatever they are) who are willing to argue to the death about their viewpoints and cannot stomach any form of compromise.
456:
If I had the chance, I would change the way
Knowledge is perceived. I think this might be a bit outside of the spectrum of "Knowledge itself" but that's what I would change. I wish I could change folks perceptions that Knowledge is hard to edit and that Knowledge isn't a good source for
424:
I edit
Knowledge because I have spare time. Knowledge falls at the bottom of my list of hobbies and I'll so any of my other hobbies first. But sometimes I get bored playing Battlefield 3 or my kids won't let me concentrate on my book so I end up here. That or I get bored at

The idea of free content. I am supportive of copyright holder's rights and certainly support intellectual property rights of artists and smart folks out there. But
Knowledge is great because folks freely and knowingly give away information for anyone else's

For t3h lulz. For fun; it's really quite altruistic; I kinda like the idea that, in years to come, people will read things I wrote. And most of my efforts are helping other people, and I get a kick out of that.

Making an account and forgetting about it for months on end, then remembering it, doing some edits, then forgetting it again. Rinse and repeat. Until the nice folks at IRC trapped me into
