    Poll: Should we ban glasses in bars?

    Look. There are a lot of things in a typical bar that an angry drunk could use to hurt someone, or that a well-gone drunk could hurt themselves with. This won't help. Most bars already use plastic or paper cups when things get rowdy.

    What if you suddenly changed sex?

    ...I'd actually probably go to a lesbian bar, or a similar "wymmin-only" place. I'd feel like too much of a pervert to actually make a move, but, you know...there are all these places women go to avoid The Evil Phallus, and being the mockery of sentience attached to one, I might like to see...

    Poll: There is no justifiable reason for civilians to own modern weapons.

    Notice that the vast majority of those deaths are suicides, and that's true for almost no other country, not even those in the developing world. So we don't need to ban guns. We need to stop hating ourselves. Say, what's been the general tone of this thread?

    What about the queer female gamers?

    I don't think I've ever been more disgusted on the Internet. You're condescending to someone who's actually being beaten on a regular basis because of your paranoid fantasies? You go through the entire country, every square meter of it, hand-in-hand with your partner. Maybe someone will...

    Zero Punctuation: Beatles Rock Band and Guitar Hero 5

    Look: the Beatles did a lot of good music and were hugely influential, but there's no getting around it - I can't anything they did with prominent backup vocals. It's the sound that's most recognizably theirs (except The Monkees') after all these years, and I can't stand it.

    Americans. How do you cope not drinking until 21?

    I think you can see the pattern here. No one ever starts drinking legally. If you ever plan to drink, you will drink in high school probably and after high school definitely, and probably more than you will when it's legal. Easily 90% of license fraud is for this purpose. That's not to say...

    Poll: Any Good Indie Bands You'd Recommend?

    Are of Montreal sufficiently indie? Because I can't recommend Hissing Fauna highly enough...and Skeletal Lamping isn't "good" per se, but...well...it's one of those things you just have to hear. Like a gritty, glammy, pantsless, disturbed, Kubrick- and Bowie-inspired David Hasselhoff...

    Zero Punctuation: Red Faction Guerrilla

    ...yet, apparently, not old enough. You do know what Bowie did before the Labyrinth era, right? No, before that. No, after that. 1972-ish. Go ahead, I'll wait. Not "green" (for which Google turns up nothing), not a song per se, and...not really obscure.
