I'm not a philosopher or an evolutionary psychologist, so what I'm about to post is from my layman understanding of these two topics. Defining "good" to be "that which society deems is moral and appropriate" and "evil" to be the opposite, I'd say that most people are born with a tendency to...

1)No 2)N/A, since I chose no. 3)No 4)No 5)No 6)No 7)N/A 8)Yes 9)Religious

My opinion is just an opinion, though it is coming from an openly gay guy, so take that for what you will. If you are asking someone "Are you gay?" because you think it would be nice to know, as you state you do in the OP, it's not offensive, but it's not exactly the best way to phrase it...

Small point of... well, reason I suppose. The results are nowhere near confirmed. As in, the group that discovered this didn't want to talk about it for months and have only done so now because their findings have been re-evaluated several times. However, if it's non-reproducible, it's likely...

Seriously? You do realize that the name "Higgs Boson" came before the idiotic colloquialism "God Particle," right? The person who came up with that name, Leon Lederman, came up with the idea when writing a book on the particle, but initially wanted to call it "The Goddamn Particle." His...

Well, for starters the poll is slightly off. One can answer only yes or no to the question (as long as "religious" is defined clearly), and agnostic is a different matter entirely. I'm an agnostic atheist, in that I hold no religious beliefs of any type and I do not 100%-without-a-doubt...

I understand you could be talking about the big deal being made about this on the Escapist, whether by Mike or by the forumgoers, but if you're meaning Bethesda, may I direct your attention to the following quote. "Not hush hush, just not making a huge deal out of it. You can marry anyone...

As much credentials as the source may have, I'm extremely skeptical that the redesign is truthful. A second analog stick/pad, I could see, but a redesign of this nature would be out of Nintendo's design philosophy, and a redesign at all would be antithetical to the production philosophy...

I remember when I Stumbled this a while ago. Because I've only seen this list from Stumble and now here, I'd say it's a pretty good average description of an internet user who would actually find it. As for myself: YOU ARE -Male -Age 15-25 -Straight -Grew up somewhere in the middle class...

I hadn't considered this part of the argument (mostly because I was just about to go to sleep when I typed that. Thanks for bringing this up. The reason I described this move as underhanded is mostly because I (and anyone else who bought/buys a 3DS) have lost 80 bucks to Ninty. Sure, we're...

This was a brilliant and underhanded move by Nintendo. I'm ok with it, because I think the 20 games will be worth the 80 extra bucks I spent on the system. However, it still must be mentioned that this was an extremely underhanded move to make more money, and I'm not sure how well it speaks to...

*facepalm* ...I really don't know how to make the obvious objection here to this statement. Partially humanized apes are just that, PARTIALLY humanized. There is no way for them to radically attain a level of knowledge which would allow for a takeover. Honestly, that's not what we should...

Honestly, I don't really like any of these. My FemShep is basically 5's eyes, 1's hair (but slightly longer and covering her forehead), 2's hair color (but brighter), and with a square jaw instead of a rounded jaw. These are very well done Shepard's, but none of them make me go "Ooh, I think...

Honestly, I don't think anything illegal has been done. Yes, the unlocked data is meant to be payed for, but all you did was modify your own software. Modification of software is protected (even of copywritten works) so long as it is not distributed. As long as this modification stays on your...

I downloaded the Netflix app yesterday and all of the trailers are still on my home screen, so I'm going to say no, they didn't delete them. Admittedly, this was merely an eShop app, not a system update, so Ninty might delete them later on.
