    Why it is acceptable to criticize smokers, but not fat people?

    Too many people seem to not be reading the first post before replying. This thread isn't saying that it should be socially acceptable to openly criticize a fat person, just that if it isn't then it shouldn't be ok to criticize a smoker either, as their problem is very similar - one that they got...

    Poll: Okay, so who joined this site because of Yahtzee?

    I did, but occasionally I see a thread I feel like posting on. Then I do so.

    Is this racist, does my teacher have a right to punish me for this?

    Hating everyone of a certain race is racism! Being attracted to one colour of skin more than others is not.

    Is it weird to get naked in front of animals?

    I have two cats and if one of them is on my bed or something when I come out of the shower I don't really think anything of it. And I doubt they do either, seeing as they're naked all the time!

    Which cancelled games did/do you want to see made?

    Ride to Hell, Edge of Twilight and This Is Vegas. The first two aren't officially cancelled but they've been absent for quite a while now!

    Did I just cheat on my girlfriend?

    Flirting isn't cheating, but unless it''s jokey flirting, it almost always leads to it. The million dollar question is which girl do you prefer? If it's the closer one, then tell the long-distance one it isn't working for you, and if it's the long-distance one, softly tell the close one to...

    Games you love but sometimes hate the fellow fans of.

    I'm a big Bioware fan, but their fans drive me up the wall. The most recent and obvious example is Dragon Age II: it wasn't quite as good as Origins but they were just trying something different and while the odd complaint about how it didn't work is OK, the level of whinging, boycott threats...

    Poll: Physical Punishment Towards Children, Yay or Nay?

    I personally wouldn't use it at all, but as for everyone else, I think the lightest lightest tap is sometimes acceptable, but anything beyond that is just bad parenting. It's not just because of how much it hurts, but also how it traumatizes the kid on a mental level. 50% of the time it causes a...

    I'm not sure whether to be insulted...

    It's impossible to know what she meant for certain, but it can at least be narrowed down: a) 'I haven't heard about you having a girlfriend' She made the assumption because she hadn't heard about you having a GF and she thinks she knows everything. b) 'I hope you don't have a girlfriend' It...

    Is it just me ... or do women make terrible comedians?

    Sadly it's hard to express something that could come across as vaguely misogynistic but is still true without being scrutinized to death, but now I think about it, it's kinda true! Obviously there's a few golden exceptions like French & Saunders or Sarah Silverman but everything in the world has...

    Is it too early in this generation of consoles to bring out new ones?

    MEH! I admit that sub surface light scattering is pretty cool, as are most of the tech breakthroughs here, but if the new go-to guy in graphics is nothing more than a grumpy, muscly dude who punches people in half at the drop of a hat (or the drop of a ciggy to be precise) then I stand only more...

    Metal Gear Solid - Why do people hate Raiden?

    It's pretty simple: when a character is forced on you in place of the much-loved original character who still has plenty of mileage and generally just no reason to replace, and you have no choice but to stick with him for the rest of the game, the chances are you'll have a very negative first...

    Nobody plays Duke Nukem Forever multiplayer.

    Can't say I'm surprised! The multiplayer isn't what's been 14 years in the making, so it's not as attention grabbing. As for people who buy some games just for multiplayer, they're unlikely to get that for the multiplayer - they'd rather have another round on COD.

    Is it too early in this generation of consoles to bring out new ones?

    The amount of time we've been in this console generation is normally how long it is before the next one starts arriving, but in spite of that I still don't want the new gen. It's not just because my wallet is dry and will be for time to come; even when I have money, I'd rather go on spending it...
