    8 Bit Philosophy: Does Christianity Make Us Weak? (Nietzsche)

    I'm going to have to be the one to say it huh? While he may be wrong about the cause, the symptom is a very real problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyDDyT1lDhA I wish we did put more value in thinking for ones self, and in achievement. Maybe fewer people would be so utterly mediocre...

    8 Bit Philosophy: Does Christianity Make Us Weak? (Nietzsche)

    I have suspected Neiztche is a more articulate Ayn Rand for a while now. This video feels like you could just replace Neiztche with Rand and very little would change.

    The Big Picture: Legend of Many

    I don't understand this idea that nintendo is in any real danger. The 3ds is printing money and so long as the holy trinity of zelda/pokemon/mario is still beloved by fans I don't see that changing.

    The Big Picture: Je Suis Charlie

    So this may put me in the middle of a flame war, but I guess I'll try and articulate this question. Can't he be right and doing it wrong? I haven't really done my research well but if he felt it was a big enough issue to murder this guy chances are there are a ton of peaceful yet still angry...

    A History of Video Games

    I found this on reddit. I'm thinking it is kinda sorely needed I personally know so little about where video games came from. I saw that documentary on netflix and kinda found it lacking in actual information. What do you guys think? Do we need more book keeping on the history of videogames...

    The Big Picture: Don't Censor Me!

    While I do not disagree with you fundamentally I am going to tell you that you are wrong. Free speech is the first amendment. Before that comes the constitution proper and Article 1. Section 1. simply says: All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United...

    Poll: What percentage of people are LGBT?

    Well we can worry about fixing double standards when we have our rights. Around that time we can cure cancer, and take a rainbow boat to the land of fantasy. It is frankly delusion that people in our situation do not need to behave in a way that others will be compelled not to listen to them...

    Poll: What percentage of people are LGBT?

    Yes I think you should stop allowing yourself to be the face of the gay rights movement. Duh. Kinda the central point of my argument. Maybe 30 years down the line when there are gay american culture festivals you will have a place being the face of that. Until our right are won we need a...

    Poll: What percentage of people are LGBT?

    I do despise it, it is frustrating and it causes problems in my life. It is also a purely practical point. Being one of many people in the center of this issue I'm not free from bias. Yes it is self expression, and no it is not harmless. Yes it is a double standard but double standards are...

    Poll: What percentage of people are LGBT?

    A lot of strawman arguments and false equivalencies are made here. You seem to miss the point I never said "People are prejudice and that is awesome" I said "People are prejudice and that is just the way it is. Pride parades are only feeding that prejudice." I have every right to be annoyed when...

    Poll: What percentage of people are LGBT?

    YES! That attitude right there is the issue I have. The false equivalency of people just being who they are and people falsely representing a demographic that gets enough shit as is. It is just not the same thing. You create a problem with ME when you take that attitude. So long as Mr...

    Poll: What percentage of people are LGBT?

    Negativity is a perception and yes promiscuity is viewed negatively. Asking people to conduct themselves in "respectable" ways if they plan to lead a movement is common sense. Or to put it more plainly This: Gets a different response from people than this: I don't think it is an...

    Poll: What percentage of people are LGBT?

    We shouldn't we should work to change their perception of us instead of reinforcing the negative perception they already have.

    Show Us Your Knickers!

    Boxer Briefs. Comfort. I don't have a preference for partners undies. I mean whenever I see them I just take them off, they are never going to look better than what is underneath ;D.
