    Archbishop Claims SCOTUS Decision Is "Poisoning" The Future

    Please keep ripping on Catholics Escapist, tell it how it is I don't care if it's not cold journalism.

    Anti-DRM Group Sends Nintendo 200 Bricks

    I like how peoples standards are so low they can't even think of a handheld device as their own property. Like no one has an issue with some company in Kyoto having the right to reproduce any photos or video taken with the 3DS. Even if the right is never exercised in principle it shouldn't ever...

    homosexuality and evolution

    I wouldn't rule out there being gay genes to be expressed rather than it being a circumstantial birth, we have plenty of inheritable traits that seem immediately detrimental to survival but may help in some other way. It likely wasn't an option for most gay men and women in the past to have...

    Poll: Starcraft 2 Patch 1.3 Removal of Losses

    Can't you just subtract games played from games won? Either way most competent players hover above 50%. Keeping the same account from beginners level your ratio becomes impossible to recover really, it's not a good indicator of skill unless you are in the upper diamond/masters with guys from...

    Steam, banning players for being generous?

    They pay taxes where they are purchased, I didn't suggest no one pays tax... so spare me. You do not pay sales tax where I live unless the purchase is over $1000 and those imports incur duty. In any case how would they bill a foreign vendor for another countries sales tax on a digital sale...

    Steam, banning players for being generous?

    Taxes can't be charged on online purchases due to admin overheads in most countries, few countries have mechanisms for this. This is not illegal in anyway, there are American businesses that buy by proxy to bypass manufacturer's restrictions on exporting. There is no legal recourse manufacturers...

    Hobbit Casting Agent Fired For Dismissing Non-White Hobbits

    I can't even remember if there was 1 non-Caucasian in the last film trilogy. I thought the entire point of casting was to be discriminatory, to appeal to law in this case would be more despicable than any potential bigoted feelings being harbored by the casters.

    Poll: American?s disillusion with WW2

    The Atom bomb was not even a real strategic weapon at that point, conventional bombing was so effective most of the country was in ruins. The US sub fleet choked the life out of Japan's merchant navy and blockaded Japan trapping the main army on the mainland. The country had no choice but to...

    Since 1983 Companies Firing Smokers

    In my limited experience most smokers walk off in the middle of a shift for a 10min smoke. What they do to themselves isn't my issue but smokers generally continue their habit at another persons expense and are unapologetic. That said the CEO should only be concerned with performance.

    Sarah palin mistakes north korea for an ally

    I would have said it was just a scatterbrained slip up moment but her tone was weird after Glenn Beck corrected her, I don't think she actually knew. In fact I don't think she knows where Korea is. The stunning intellect of Bush followed by brilliance of Palin makes me shudder to think that...

    What films have you walked out of?

    Haha, my friend gets motion sickness too. Glad we didn't see it at the cinemas. Rouge Assassin, It made no sense. It was like the director filmed all the scenes he wanted to make and hoped the editor would figure out the story later. Fell asleep through Alice.

    Spanish woman claims ownership of the Sun

    K then, I'll just write myself a receipt for ownership of the universe and demand an existence tax. All the proceeds will go to building the world's biggest water slide.

    CD Projekt Plans to Make Witcher 2 Pirates Sorry

    Probably a waste of money on their part, at least they don't try to extract millions from normal people.

    I'm surprised the bubble lasted this long, haven't played a rhythm game with a guitar since GH2.

    Gay Zombie Film Banned, Screened Anyway, Destroyed

    So murder and rape is not a sign of deviancy? (Or as you said could be argued.) It's not about defending necrophilia but the fact that any concept no matter how disagreeable should be able to expressed and depicted without this nonsense. You position isn't very consistent, what you or the...
