    How do you argue that you're not homophobic/racist/etc?

    The main argument I can see is that it's done for pleasure rather than procreation (because every heterosexual person has sex solely for the purpose of procreation, right?), but what they don't realise is that homosexual love is the same as heterosexual love, and sex is done for the same reason...

    How do you argue that you're not homophobic/racist/etc?

    You can't. Only your actions can show what you are. In terms of what you can say to them, just say you're not and when they imply you are just say "I know I'm not, if you can't accept that, that's you're loss." People imply other people are racist as if they don't know. And then they imply...

    Jimquisition: Salt Of The Earth - A Steam Fail Story

    I don't really care if someone called you out on this in the subsequent pages of this topic, I'm going to say it. Getting death threats and legitimate criticism for scamming are mutually exclusive events. To claim that it's okay she got death threats because she was hiding stuff all along...

    Creationist Scientist Wants Airtime on Cosmos for Creationist Views

    While I wouldn't personally call most religions 'evil', I do agree that their intention to provide a set of rules for morality is a hindrance to their core values. It's like reading a book on how to 'pick up chicks', it doesn't always apply, there's more to it and it dehumanises both parties...

    Creationist Scientist Wants Airtime on Cosmos for Creationist Views

    I never sneer at a good wall of text, although I know others do, so forgive the snippers, and the wall I seem to have put up in its place. ;) Frankly I found your particular wall of text thoroughly enjoyable to stare at, I paused a Jimquisition video in the background so I could focus on it...

    Creationist Scientist Wants Airtime on Cosmos for Creationist Views

    A gun may not tell someone to pick it up and kill, but it's sole function is to kill and its use throughout society indirectly enforces that use. The person uses the gun to kill because of the memes associated with having a gun. With religion, the memes associated with religion encourage its...

    Creationist Scientist Wants Airtime on Cosmos for Creationist Views

    I'm afraid you may be misunderstanding the implied humour in the title, I didn't mean evolution is a literal miracle. And I don't see how I'm moving the goalposts, I'm simply discussing a possible middle ground. Evolution contradicts a literal translation of the Bible, certainly. I did once...

    Creationist Scientist Wants Airtime on Cosmos for Creationist Views

    You have no idea how great it is to hear people actually discussing this instead of making the same old arguments. :D I fully agree that the problem with religion is people ('Religion doesn't kill people! PEOPLE kill people!' :P), and I think so many people who agree with Creationism are...

    Creationist Scientist Wants Airtime on Cosmos for Creationist Views

    I like how the Creationist is a scientist of astronomy and physics and is debating a biological concept. A completely trustworthy source there. THANK YOU!!!!!!!! I'm so glad I finally found SOMEONE who sees the obvious. Go! Spread the good word! ;)

    Recommend a 3ds game

    Ooooooh, you definitely need to play the second one! It's probably twice as big a game and you get to travel by boat all over the place. Have a look on eBay because it's definitely worth a play. The DS one deals with the heroes' kids and a new complication. It's a bit easier and a little bit...

    We've Seen The Future, And It's NSFW

    I so wish that this was acceptable. It could work so well in a close-nit office scenario.

    GLaDOS and The Sniper Join Up To Support GaymerX2

    I was going to say that this kind of thing seems unnecessary (before someone already did and several people made the very good point that most gamers are less accepting than I give them credit for), but it didn't really matter after I heard Ellen McLain and John Patrick Lowrie speak. Know...

    Recommend a 3ds game

    If you like RPGs, definitely get Golden Sun: Dark Dawn (it's a DS title, not 3DS but still). It's a continuation of the GBA series, Golden Sun, and all three games in the series are fantastic. As for actual 3DS games, I'm playing a puzzle one at the moment called Crush 3D. It's really fun if...

    What is... The coolest thing you THINK you own?

    I have a Hot Wheels 'Back to the Future' toy car, still in its packaging which is signed by Christopher Lloyd. That's probably the most mainstream cool thing I own. I have a couple of comics signed and doodled in by the authors, which I cherish dearly, but they're all niche comics that I don't...

    People who've never taken alcohol or drugs

    I never had a full standard drink until I was of legal drinking age (18 here) and I've never done, nor ever wish to do, drugs. I don't like the taste of alcohol, however after I turned 18, I got offered a job as a bartender and despite knowing nothing about alcohol, I really needed the work...
