    Good Riddance, Fred Phelps: 5 Pivotal Moments For LGBTs In Comics

    The meaning of bigotry is being intolerant of others ideas or beliefs that differs from your own. There is no other qualification and there shouldn't be. When right or wrong gets put into the equation it creates a situation where bigotry can be justified. The justification then leads to excesses...

    Good Riddance, Fred Phelps: 5 Pivotal Moments For LGBTs In Comics

    Is the world a better place with him gone? Yes. My problem with articles like this is the fact that being a bigot to a bigot doesn't make you any less of a bigot then the bigot you are being a bigot to.

    What makes a game hardcore?

    It simple really to define a hardcore game. Does your e-penis get hard to the core while playing? Then its hardcore. (fumbles with sunglasses while trying to put them on) The term is all about separation. Its about why you are a better gamer than others. Its about why you should get more...

    When's it okay to dislike "special" people?

    I have a brother with down syndrome and yes dislike the behavior this person is showing. It doesn't sound like someone I would like to be around. The problem I encounter being around families and people that are special is that during their lifetime people would let bad behavior slide because of...

    would you humiliate your children?

    Yes I would. I don't think its best to say you would never do something as a parent. Teaching a child is about applying and helping the kid understand consequences. Sometimes that goes hand and hand with humiliating situations. One of the times I was most humiliated in my life was when I was 7...

    Concerning female characters

    Op: The problem that you seem to be running into is that when you define the gender of a character you are implying many things about that character. Depending on how that character is written, it may or may not be the defining trait. Either way can be fine depending on the story and that...

    Do's and Don'ts of a Dungeon Master?

    I only have one rule to follow as a GM. My only job is to apply consequences to the actions of the characters. To have the characters makes their choices and have the GM react to them the GM needs a world for that to happen in. Beyond that the characters will tell their own story, if you are...

    I'm Tired of Faction Combat in MMOs

    I don't agree with you. PVP is US vs THEM to varying degrees. It is not just cause WOW did it that companies do this. It is because it works and that is why WOW did it. There is no true three way or more battle. To win you might have to defeat two different groups but it is still US vs THEM...

    So, apprently a Super Bowl 48 commercial is pissing people off...

    The commercial is fine. What isn't fine is how both sides have reacted with hate. I don't believe hate is a justification to return hate. When that happens it just increases hate overall. I wish people could understand that and act on it and not be so hateful. If they did many of the perceived...

    Could you easily accept an apology straight away?

    I think its important to note that forgiveness and trusting someone is a different thing. For example, if I lend you 100 dollars and you don't pay me back that money I can forgive that but if you come back asking for more money and you have not shown a true change in character I may not lend you...

    Do I Not Like Video Games Anymore?

    When I have been dissatisfied with my life I tend to either get really involved in entertainment or be unhappy with it and nothing will please me. I suggest you try to find a better place in your life and then see if games still appeal to you. I say this because of your line about 'they all...

    Poll: A Tricky Moral Dilemma

    For me the moral thing to do is let the man starve. While, you may save his life, at the same time you are devaluing the life of the others and the sacrifice of the person that became the food. He gets the reward without the risk? That isn't doing right by the people who did choose to enter the...

    do we actually NEED different forms of entertainment?

    The value of any entertainment is what you (the audience) take from it. Sometimes people need to not think about a part of their lives. Other times they want a story to help them think about part of their life. Maybe you just need to burn 30 minutes before something else happens. I know people...

    Should heroes be allowed to fail?

    Heroes are allowed to fail in the short term. The fail is always a way to show a weakness and that character improving and finding a way around that weakness. Long term, and in the overall story arc, the hero can not fail. If they do they are not a hero. The character is protagonist but not a...
