    White People are... Better?

    It's geopolitics, as had been said money time, nothing to do with white people. Also, until the Industrial Revolution you can't really argue China and Japan are horribly less advanced than "white" countries. I would also posit that America has ceased to be a "white" country, as have many...

    Let's Play Dwarf Fortress: Syndrome Conundrum

    So eh, not to be a self-serving ponce but I thought perchance some of you guys would be interested in starting another succession/legacy\bloodline game? http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/362.383522-Poll-Dwarf-Fortress-Legacy-Interest#15176640

    Poll: Dwarf Fortress Legacy: Interest?

    Hey guys, I'm just asking if anyone would be interested in seeing/participating in a Dwarf Fortress Legacy game. I saw we used to have one here, but the last post was in 2010 and they only got to year three (which suggests they either ran into boredom or lots of "fun"). WTF is Dwarf Fortress...

    Are you a manwhore?

    The question now is- are you a girl, or a guy? The thread is asking for manwhores, but somehow I don't see that much gay sex going down at a high school in that short a span of time. It sounds too magically convenient and unlike reality.

    Poll: It is Time to Fix Game Prices

    You can buy Thief: Deadly Shadows or Thief: The Dark Project now for much cheaper and get much more game out of it. It's the idea with pay apps on phones- the cheapness encourages risks. Section 8 could be a really solid game for all I know, but if know no-one with it and I don't have another...

    Poll: What do you think a real war between the East and the West would be like?

    Brazil is certainly an up-coming force in the world- But it isn't self-sufficient. It doesn't have enough high-tech facilities to keep the goods coming or all the raw resources to keep the materials in stock to keep living like they are now without other major countries. - I think...

    SOPA hearing yesterday: There are not enough /facepalms in the world

    They have to be someone backed by enough unions (Democrats) or corporations (Republicans) to get any screen time (because those are the two sources of enough campaign money to get elected to anything above mayor [not even mayor of the state capital at that]).

    Poll: What do you think a real war between the East and the West would be like?

    Nukes end all life either way. The nukes don't even need to hit America; China and Russia could fire their reserved into the sky, oceans, or themselves and end the world in a Nuclear Winter. But no, the West would turn to their largest, least human-friendly weapons (possibly from space)...

    Gamers? View on LGBT Essay

    There's nothing for the however to counter (j'assume you meant to put something like "which I have elected to not include because-" somewhere in there). Just pointing it out. Love the essay; we need more literature like this in circulation in as many places as there are to put it. I commend...

    gaming = war crime

    I do believe there was one, because there was an article and they seem to always have an automatically made forum thread. But yes, like was said the first time: this is the Geneva Convention trying to exert control over fantasy because they lack the ability to do so over reality. I find...

    Racist tram woman watches video evidence; denies everything

    Actions speak louder than words; that was precisely the poster to whom you refer's point was. By his actions the poster who he was talking about lashed out violently against someone who lashed out with their words. So long as he practices what he preaches, there's nothing in his post that's...

    Scientists Resurrecting Woolly Mammoths

    "It's immoral," "our playthings," you don't seem to be doing a whole lot of thinking here. Have you heard of cultured meat? Or conservation areas and natural parks? Animals of old, especially capable of amassing such large amounts of meat, would be indefinitely valuable. Not only that, but the...

    Scientists Resurrecting Woolly Mammoths

    Hero-Gods and Magic were only ever placeholders for Man and Machine. Technology is approaching everything from the singularity to tractor beams; if you want to put a bucket over your head and pretend it's all phony, it's well within your rights to. I'd just appreciate it if you could...

    Scientists Resurrecting Woolly Mammoths

    Is it really that hard to see the benefit here? Trying to save endangered animals in the current global setting is a losing game; you're only putting off the inevitable. The Past needs to live so we won't repeat it, don't'cha know? With this technology perfected, we could theoretically...

    LGBT Community calls the Salvation Army Bigots

    These people are convinced that Christianity (and the relief that comes with it) says Homosexuality is evil; most converting sects of Christianity have a stance opposing homosexual unions. Ergo, by converting people all over Africa to Christianity, the Salvation Army apathetically continues a...
