Yes, always.

Personally I'm a university student but I don't consider these forums "very smart". That's not to say there aren't some intelligent individuals here but I don't think being a games consumer inherently makes you smarter than anybody else, in fact many of the most ignorant people I've come across have been gamers. I'd also say that I don't think the vocabulary displayed on this forum is as remarkable as you do and I don't think breadth of vocabulary alone even begins to justify classifying someone as a "genius".

Science has proven that religions mostly aren't "manmade" as we conventionally consider something manmade. Humans, when left to their own devices, seem to instincively construct these theoretical higher powers. You're by no means the first person to ask this question though, and I believe that while religion can keep people in line in certain regards, in practise it can also lead to whole new set of problems such as people disrespecting other peoples beliefs and discrimination against certain groups of people.

A couple of things, firstly this isn't really a space issue. To say a computing network is running out of space means that they are running out of file storage space, this is a different thing. Secondly, the solution for this problem, IPv6 has been around for a significant amount of time and will be the answer to this "shortage" of adresses. The real issue is that the transfer over to IPv6 might be shakey, with some websites unable to give proper support to the new system.

Yes, I'd describe them as important to me. I don't go hugely out of my way to get them but I will go after some achievements and I enjoy collecting them. Ultimately the replay value and persistent reward they bring is a good thing, but the downside is that they have proven themselves an easy way for developers to psychologically manipulate some games consumers.

You're basing opinions on speculations and making your own speculations, basing little of this in fact.

Yeah, this isn't being "a whiny little cry-baby", this is raising a legitimate concern about descisions made by a company, which could affect the professional work and economic situation of a large number of people.

I'm still getting enough out of the multiplayer games I currently have.

Yep, I'm gonna get it and not just for the firefight. I'm really excited about the campaign.

I think I might actually. The NXE has some interesting features but I don't care for the avatars, the interface prevents me from seeing my wallpapers and it's taking up space on my hard drive.
