HAHAHAHAHAHA I'm guessing you aren't American. Let me explain how our "democratic" system works. Corporations file as much money as they feel like anonymously to lobbyists and political action committees, this money goes to our representatives, funding their re-elections and personal greed in...

I agree with you that swords have their drawbacks (personally I'm more of an axe type), but you must remember that there were actually types of swords designed specifically do overcome long weapons, for example, the Zweihänder, a MASSIVE German sword capable of doing two things most swords...

Gotta go with the axe, gravity does the work for you, it smashes armor, it tears through flesh and bone alike, and you can throw them pretty damn well. Plus I want to make my Viking ancestors proud.

I want to think that this is some kind of parody or something, but I just can't...

All the people who are saying L4D are wrong, it's good co-op, but she's a BEGINNER and it just isn't forgiving enough. All these people who say Portal 2 are also wrong, it's a great game, it's got great co-op, and you SHOULD play it with your girlfriend down the line. HOWEVER, she's new to...

It's not as simple as you make it seem. Yes, the Stormcloaks are Nazi-ish, but they aren't as bad as the actual Nazis - keep in mind, Ulfric hasn't actually supported the slaughter of all non-Nords, and as bad as some of his followers can be, it still isn't on that level. Meanwhile the Empire...

Basically, the options are Empire: Assholes who tried to kill me at the begining, ruled by the Thalmor who will kill me for worshipping the wrong god. Rebellion: Racist assholes It just made more sense to me to side with the Stormcloaks, because, as racist as they are, Ulfric doesn't...

Very good points, I'd just like to reiterate that morals are just as easily derived from philosophy as they are from religion. And, in addition, religious moral codes are frequently self-contradictory, ex: the Old Testament tells you that you have to stone homosexuals, yet Jesus tells his...

I know I'm not going to change your mind here, I just want to try to bridge the philosophical gap so you can understand the atheist perspective you bring up an interesting point about probabilities, and yes, it's statistically improbable for things to be exactly the way that they are, but...

It is more common than most people think, but yeah, that stuff is still pretty out there

I was born in the early 90's, so the internet and I sort of grew up side-by-side, and I can't imagine how hard it would be to just jump into where we are now. Unless something pretty drastic happens to simplify things, my generation could be the first in U.S. history to be better with tech than...

oh to be able to multitask

well, to be fair sociopathy is a mental condition that isn't too different than schizophrenia (schizophrenia is emotional dissociation, sociopathy is moral dissociation). I'm not saying we have nothing to fear from sociopaths, frankly they're bloody terrifying, but they aren't evil so much as...

Actually at least one aspect of BDSM has nothing to do with personal background, some people enjoy pain because the body has a tendency to (exclusively when highly aroused) interpret ANY strong sensation as sexual pleasure, this is EXTREMELY common, some people just embrace this to a greater...

yeah, there are legitimate reasons to prefer each, but not to such a crazy extent, and people need to learn to stop hating on everything about the other side (I seem to recall a lot of fanboys hating on exclusives they hadn't even played the last time I saw a flame war over the consoles). For...
