    Poll: Is Not Dating a Certain Race Racist?

    Just because it's unintentional doesn't make it not racist. We have obvious discrimination based solely race - to claim it's not racist is silly. However, it's also something that he has complete discretion over in his life, he's allowed to be racist in that regard. No-one's going to stand...

    How do I know I Exist?

    The Cartesian proof only can only prove the existence of thought, He conceded (well not really, he used it as a logical mechanism that it may be the case) that the rest of his perception could be imaginary or even created purely to fool him. This philosophy operates on the assumption that...

    Geohot Claims He's Never Heard of Sony Computer Entertainment of America

    Doesn't Sony's case rely on him breaching the ELUA(a form of contract)? If they cannot prove that he knew of the existance of SCEA then there is no way he could be found to have had a 'meeting of the minds'(Required for a contract in the US) with them. If no contract exists then no remedies will...

    Dragon Age II has a 3.4/10 on Metacritic, WHY!?

    It's most likely due to the DX11 issues people are having on high end nvidia cards. People with $1000 cards are getting about 5-15 fps while playing and they're not happy about having to turn down their settings (Which tbh, they shouldn't have to). While they're not playing the game they're...

    Let's think of a new name for gaming (I blame extra Credits for this!)

    I quite like that, My suggestion would be IGM - Interactive Graphic Media. And in the spirit of contracting it, 'Intergraph' (Which is probably already a word for something)

    A setting for a game which has not been over used.

    On an aircraft, mid flight. - I can't really think of any games like this, but I can imagine that it could be executed really well if someone had the vision to do it.

    Companies You are Currently Boycotting

    The act of announcing your boycott in a public forum would probably constitute enough of a protest, after all the intention merely needs to be public. I know I have discussed my dislike of the companies to follow with my friends and family. Particularly when another one buys a damn iPhone...

    Companies You are Currently Boycotting

    I'm merely pointing out that not all MEDCs fit into the demograph of free markets most claim to but for many it is illusory in nature, and while the majority of this site's traffic is US in origin (Probably), your statement left a closed door on other countries for whom this thread is relevant.

    Companies You are Currently Boycotting

    I'm not completely sure how it works in the US, but anyone in Australia living with the misconception that we have a free market is either functionally retarded or willfully ignorant. That said, protecting small business, to me, makes economic sense. I do not believe ethics to be the...

    Poll: Can an opinion be wrong?

    No, an opinion cannot be wrong, however, the assumptions that an opinion is based on can be. An opinion that is based on an incorrect premise should be seen as an opinion held in error, but the opinion itself is not wrong. However, someone who sites their opinion in an attempt to change...

    Poll: Would you be a good god?

    I already live my life free of the typical concept of morality, instead I follow very simple logical rules based upon utilitarianism and a prima facie assumption that obeying the law results in the best outcome for all involved. While capable identifying right and wrong, I tend to ignore...
