My roommate bought a portable DVD player, with its own screen and everything. It is like an 11" screen and has a battery life of around 3 hours. I don't fault him for that purchase. Not that I would've bought it, but whatever - he can do what he wants with his money.
What puzzles me is that when he got it, he promptly sat on the couch and watched a few Star Wars movies on it. Instead of watching it on the 30" TV with much better sound and picture quality, that happened to be directly in front of him, he sat for several hours watching movies playing from a device sitting uncomfortably on his lap.

Self centered thinking
I'm done counting numbers with these bad ideas. I'm just going to post them.
My roommate went drinking last night and came home pretty late. I don't understand what he is thinking when he does things like this, but apparently he stopped by a friend's room at 3:30 AM asking for food. I don't know what kind of bum he thinks he is, but my friend is pretty pissed at my roommate. For good reason.
Then my roommate came home and started playing music while I was sleeping. WTF.
Of course, this is a long pattern of behavior in my roommate's behavior. He often does self-centered things, and I've catalogued many of them here - drinking my beer without realizing that I don't like that, asking me to buy a DVD player, as if that made any sense at all, or waking people up at 3:30 AM for no good reason at all.
The worst offense occurred the week after my father was murdered. My roommate called me the day we picked up my father's personal items and looked at his body for the first time, while I was on the way back home from seeing my father's stitched up, reconstructed face at the funeral home. He called me to get detailed tech support on the internet, when he fully knew that there were people he knew who knew how to reset the internet connection (unplug everything from the power cord, then plug it back in after a few seconds) living in the same hallway. To this day, I still consider that call to be the single greatest indicator of my roommate being a self-centered baby.

Elaboration on bad drug ideas
While it is fairly uncommon, my roommate's drug legalization ideas are not unheard of. Some libertarians believe that education is a better method of deterring harmful behavior than outright criminalization. I disagree, but that's not the point here. Apparently my roommate does not even subscribe to this opinion.
My roommate told me today that he thinks that drug education should not "focus on the negative aspects of drugs, and instead should teach people how to use drugs responsibly." Also, he doesn't think that "government should not advance any kind of agenda."
I am completely speechless. This guy is more retarded than I realized.
