    Updated: Activision CEO Earned $64.9 Million in 2012

    People who think that working for a low wage in the country so they can afford their standard of living is akin to slavery should actual go meet some real slaves. People who are beaten and starved if they don't make bricks for their masters. Little girls who are drugged and bound so that they...

    Updated: Activision CEO Earned $64.9 Million in 2012

    Who are you to force him to give away what he belongs to him? Who are you to force your ethics upon him? How exceptionally tyrannical and intolerant. Who are you to decide he should sacrifice his desires and wants for your desires and wants? What say do you have over his possessions? If he wants...

    Updated: Activision CEO Earned $64.9 Million in 2012

    His effort is worth whatever people are willing to pay him. The shareholders and board think he is worth $64.9 mil. It is their company and their money. They have the choice what to do with it. If you think you could do better, well then go do it. Why should any of us have any say over what they...

    Game of Thrones: Why is it loved so much?

    I've been watching it from the beginning and it seems sort of interesting I just have yet to encounter a character I actually could relate to. It has nobody for which there is worth in rooting. They are either smart and degenerate or stupid and decent. Maybe I've missed them but I've yet to see...

    Gamifying Guns

    As a system which might give the civilian populace a means with which to help level the asymmetry in warfare with a governmental force it appears great. It won't make up totally for lack of training in a revolution but it might give them a fighting chance against trained soldiers. Pity it is so...

    The Big Picture: The 90's Didn't Suck

    Thank you sir. Thank you for remembering those less fortunate then us living in the first world. It may have been a decade without a major conflict affecting the affluent first world it was a decade filled with tragedy and genocide for the rest of the world. While we sat and got fat off our...

    Poll: Let's settle something right now, can you defend yourself with a gun?

    Yes of course you can use a weapon for self defence. It is no different than any other weapon ever invented by mankind. A gun is just the premier and best weapon we've developed. Before we had guns we used swords and bows. Are those in some manner inherently more righteous and moral than a gun...

    Guardians of Middle Earth Review

    Just a small error. It's Gandalf, not Gandolf. Hate to be that guy but it was bugging me. Other than that not bad for a quick and dirty review.

    Why do people reject evolution?

    Because the probable chance of an amino acid bond happening is less than the probable chance of it being broken from collision. The current theory of evolution as taught in schools is severely flawed and in big trouble scientifically. Also most information in said textbooks is out of date and...

    Bullying: Stop the complaining.

    Some are not strong enough to protect themselves. This is why those of us who are strong must protect them. Violent response to bullies should be the last option but it is still an option. You tell the authorities an incident has happened and they can punish it, but if you see something...

    Call of Duty: Black Ops II

    Because an SMG only has a real advantage in close quarters if the gun has a physical model and longer guns have to be lowered to walk through doors. Otherwise they are just shorter assault rifles. As an aside shotguns suck for killing people in body armour.

    The Big Picture: Relics

    I've never gotten the impression of Africa from most "lost city" stories. Almost always it seems to be South America and then it is pretty clear that it is the Mayans or Aztec, and we know they built them. The Spaniards just wiped them out. The other influence I see in the lost city trope is the...

    Escape to the Movies: Red Tails

    I'm really glad this movie got made. Those men were real heroes. They still have one of the best records of any fighter squadron ever.

    Shooter at large on Virgina Tech campus.

    Everything has calmed down on campus so far and the lockdown has been lifted. The police have no reason to believe the suspect is on campus. There is no reason to believe students or faculty are in danger.
