    Australia Uses Harsh Graphic Novel To Ward Off Refugees

    I'm not going to respond to every point you made in your rambling, but I'll respond to a few. You can't say xenophobic statements and broad, sweeping generalisations and then be offended when somebody calls you out on your racist crap. It's easy to look at it like "they can try to change their...

    Australia Uses Harsh Graphic Novel To Ward Off Refugees

    This is not America we are discussing. Australia has far better financial infrastructure to support immigration, and the fabric of society won't unweave by letting people in. You said in an earlier post that it was a classist issue, and it may be over there. I can tell you with absolute...

    Australia Uses Harsh Graphic Novel To Ward Off Refugees

    I find it funny that whenever this stuff comes up, the racists come out of the woodwork to say "They just want our dole money!" Right, because somebody is going to risk their life on a rickety boat going through stringest border control so they can two hundred dollars a week from centrelink...

    Researcher Links Violent Video Games To Moral Maturity Development

    Some of you people are an absolute joke. You carry on about biased studies and people pushing an agenda, but when a study that says good things about gaming comes up, you consider it the gospel truth. This isn't a flawed study, and it isn't pushing an agenda, but because it doesn't fit in with...

    Modern day concentration camp

    That article is 8 years old, for one, and is a bit outdated. A North Korean invasion of South Korea wouldn't be as disastrous as you imagine. They would be able to get probably one barrage off at Seoul with their Cold War era artillery before that entire section of their military is wiped out by...

    Modern day concentration camp

    The USA could wipe out the NK army with minimal casualties. They're not a guerilla force, so they're easy to target, and their army is under-equipped and under-trained. The United States could destroy their (extremely old) artillery before it could accomplish anything, and keep their entire...

    Spec Ops: The Line - The Blue Ink Alchemy Review

    Good review, couldn't agree more. I started playing it the other day without knowing much about it, just as a generic shooter to pass the holidays. But a few minutes in, shit started to get real, and the game started to get dark. I legitimately felt guilty after the 'weapon of mass destruction'...

    Games you don't like, but respect

    COD 4 and onwards: I don't really enjoy playing these games, especially not on the console, so I never got into the multiplayer. I respect the massive following it has on its servers, but I've never been particularly keen on any of the COD games. Got to agree with EVE, HL2, Halo, and the...

    What's the best school related book you have read

    Brave New World, which is actually my favourite book because of that class. We had a brilliant teacher, and we got into some serious deconstruction of the novel and themes. Other than that, I thought The Iliad was fucking awesome.

    Poll: Death Valley, 1 gallon of water, a family will die no matter what you decide. No whirlpool or bacon

    Take a swig of water, siphon some of their gas, leave the water with them, wake them up to explain all of this, and ride like a bat out of hell to get assistance.

    Australian Capital Goes R18+

    Now I feel bad about throwing up on the door of the Legislative Assembly when I was out drinking. It's pretty cool that we're getting it first though.

    Isn't alcohol also a drug?

    It inhibits your central nervous system. Opposed to Stimulants like Caffeine, or Cocaine, which perk you up and make you more aware, alcohol makes you dopey. I drink multiple times a week (yeah, I know), and I can still be more energised and raucous than I normally would be, but I also spill my...

    Poll: Pull ups. Have you ever done one?

    I can do 20 dead-hang chin ups in a row, normally. About 10 Wide grip overhand pulls.

    Mount & Blade, I hear it's a good game so a few questions.

    I'm going to agree with the common opinion and suggest Warband. Fire and Sword is good, and has a lot of improvements, but it's a lot more difficult to get started when the peasants you're fighting have guns which can kill you in 2 shots on Easy. It also lacks the interesting factions of...
