    Most Racist Thing You've Seen?

    Depends on what kind of racism (and I'm assuming 'in a movie' doesn't count) Hateful: "N#@%r whore" was used to describe my boss - To her face - after she refused to let a customer walk out of the store with whipped cream that the speaker's husband was snorting and she hadn't paid for. I...

    Men: Now a Minority in PC Gaming.

    50.2% = 50.2/100 = 502/1000 2 people over the halfway mark, 4 more than the remaining. Margin of error: 3-4% = 30-40 people. So... no. Not over the margin of error.

    Men: Now a Minority in PC Gaming.

    50.2% out of 1000. That's 2 people. TWO. PEOPLE. (EDIT: well okay, 4 people if you count the 2 men down from the probably 49.8%) The margin for error is 3-4%. This entire survey's results could be the result of a TYPO.

    Woman murdered for rejecting a man, another gets her throat slashed for the same.

    I swore off of relationships in part because I'm afraid a woman I say 'no' to sex with will call the police, say I raped her and no jury on earth will say otherwise. To say that all women are the same and that all men are the same (which the quote DOES) is the very definition of sexism and...

    Woman murdered for rejecting a man, another gets her throat slashed for the same.

    I'm referring to the quote, not to any individual man or woman. Geez louise, take your pick >.> -because it's a gross oversimplification of human relationships AND the relationships between men and women? -because reducing a person's worst fears to how their relationships will pan out is...

    Woman murdered for rejecting a man, another gets her throat slashed for the same.

    This saying is stupid, belittling to EVERYONE involved, and inaccurate. My worst fear is that I will wake up one day to find that everyone and everything I ever thought I knew was, in fact, a lie and that I had made it all up in an attempt to keep myself from knowing that I'm actually a...

    Worst BioWare companions

    Primarily it's because he's the only consistently funny character in DA:2. By which i mean not only are the jokes funny, but they're different jokes. He calls his brother a son of a ***** and then apologizes to his mother, he compares a business to a puppy because "take your eye off of it for...

    Worst BioWare companions

    Aw, you don't like Varric? D= ... But yeah. Aveline and Varrick are the only two actually good characters in the bunch. The others range from passable to annoying. What's sad about DA2 to me is that the seeds of a great game are there, it just needed more Dev time. Also, Varrick needed to do...

    Probably not, no.

    Old social values you could get behind

    You misunderstand (or possibly i misspoke) - I don't mean that a poor person is there because they're horrible. I mean that there is a prevailing attitude that it is inherently BETTER to be poor than rich. There's no inherent good or evil in either, but more and more I am told that being rich is...

    Old social values you could get behind

    I'd like to return to the idea that a smaller government was the path of progress. Failing that, the idea that the central bank was not only a bad thing, but something we could do without. Assuming those don't count... Rome used to put such a heavy emphasis on honorable conduct that for...

    Misogyny or Sexual Persecution? [Update!]

    Yeah i know - I'm just not sure if it's a 'all of these are this, but not all this are these' kinda thing.

    Misogyny or Sexual Persecution? [Update!]

    "Misogynist: a person who dislikes, despises, or is strongly prejudiced against women." Uh... with that definition I want to say 'yes i am', but there's an implication there that a misogynist ONLY dislikes women, or dislikes them BECAUSE they're women. I dislike most people. Most people are...
