No it's not. It's like saying it's okay to steal an infinitely replicable digital piece of data because those that produced it no longer benefit from sales. It's not a limited resource.

Whoever said I denied anything? You're the one refusing to accept how large of a factor religion was in the matter. For starters, Jerusalem was only 'of key economic importance' because it was the central holy point for three primary religions - Christianty, Judaism and Islam. That naturally...

Firstly, faith is stupid because it is a blind acceptance. Secondly, without religion the Muslims would have never taken Jerusalem and declared it off-limits to all non-Muslims. Edit: Nor could the Christians have mobilised such blindly idiotic zealots to launch a holy war.

Nope. History has taught us that fringe music can become popular, not that pop music is worth listening to.

You won't get him interested in something he has no interest in. If he's big on music, approach him through music. Talk to him about bands from different regions if they play in the genre he likes.

The Crusades were in response to Muslims invading and overtaking Jerusalem and then forbidding any non-Muslims from entering its walls. One can not simply dismiss the religious fervour and rhetoric that surrounded the entire thing as being secondary. Also, religion is quite rightly decried...

As gender makes absolutely no difference whatsoever to the story I don't see how this matters one jot. The only thing it affects is romance, and if you look at the story the devs really force you in to Liara. She's been the only party member who can't die, and the only party member both genders...

I got me a flashlight mod. Unfortunately my old computer can't handle it too well, so I just got a nightvision mod instead. OP - you should trying getting one.

The article only reminded me of the absurdity of pre-darwininan social philosophies. Civilisation is in our nature, the only reason it exists is because we evolved in such a way that fostered its development. Our horror, our aggression, our selfishness are as much a part of our nature as our...

The Love Boat. Points if somebody understands the reference without googling.

I don't see why Music can't operate the same way Journalism does - through traditional and new channels.

Are talking 'Supreme Commander 2' accessibility or 'Dragon Age 2' accessibility? The former I wouldn't mind, because you'd have a fully functional, complex game that has a simple introduction which can be used to develop more complex strategies.
