Otherwise known as the Games Room, think of this as a subforum of the social club reserved just for sociable icebreaker games. Beware - they can be addictive!

Is it not a truism that such a child is only "redundant" to those who do not want it, that it might be of value to another?

Does anything matter to a physical structure that has no thoughts or emotions - that can not give a damn either way?
