The problem with the whole "ticking time-bomb" scenario justifying torture is that it's become such a ubiquitous justification that it makes it literally the worst condition under which to torture someone. It's basically telling them that they have you by the balls and you need to pull out all...

Let's not make stuff up? The article said he was dressed "flamboyantly" and identified as gay, not a cross-dresser or anything close to trans*. Of course, your think that means he was dressed like a woman: if you knew the first thing about queer or trans* issues, you'd know how ignorant that...

Where are you from exactly? Because I'm from a relatively metropolitan area of the United States and I would be well within my rights to shoot anyone who enters my home uninvited and refuses to leave? And the kids would beat him to death after he tazers one of them, really? I never met a...

...but they might not if you defend yourself when you're feeling threatened. Like I said, I'm a strong proponent of queer and trans* ADULTS carrying weapons and exercising their right to defend themselves when they're threatened, because hopefully, if enough would-be gaybashers get sent to...

On one hand, I don't like the proliferation of weapons of any sort, nor do I support violence in schools. But on the other, I hate that gay kids are seen as the perfect, defenseless victims. Bullies target them first. Bigoted school administrators do nothing to help or protect them. I...

Yeah, because I'd like to live in a country where the police can arrest me on the suspicion that I looked at an image they don't want me to...

The idea that anarchy inevitably leads to rape, plunder, etc. is because the only places that seem to fall into anarchy are third-world shitholes with no real resources or sense of community to begin with. It assumes that people are utter bastards who will resort to killing each other at the...

I'm pretty firmly in the camp of "If you don't have a vagina, it will never directly affect you so you shouldn't get a say in it." Really. Regardless of religious or political affiliations, men cannot ever possibly bear the burden of pregnancy and as a result, them arguing about the viability of...

You probably won't get raped. Good enough for ya?

Of course we think "classic" music is so much better than what we have today: the awful songs that were playing at the same time as them didn't get filtered down to us, so we're left with only the cream of the crop to base our opinions on.

If I type anything more than this, I'm gonna start raging and end up getting myself banned, so...that's a load of bull, OP. It's the same as saying someone would turn gay if that was the only option, and believe me, most won't even when it is.

Soooo...you're suggesting that I have to prove myself to the boys?

As a girl, I'm told on a regular basis that I'm "not a real gamer" and never will be one because I'm in possession of a vagina. Hence, I tend to do quite a bit of posturing in an effort to gain respect that I know I'm never actually going to get because of the rampant vein of misogyny running...

I'll be blunt for a second: the original post has a definite tint of misogyny, at least from where I'm standing. What defines who's a "worse" sexist? Someone who treats women like shit, which, despite your claims that they're hated all across the Internet, seem to be pretty damn common to me? Or...

Quality of character development is a benchmark by which to assess the quality of a medium's writing/plotting/etc.
