    Am I just at fault?

    You are facilitating and benefiting from someone's doing something you think is wrong. If this was theft or murder, the answer would be clear.

    Question about fallacies

    You could argue that she used the fallocy of weak analogy. That is that since humans are capable consciousness, and as far as I know, moose aren't, you could argue that the two aren't sufficiently similar for a strong anology. That's been pretty much the argument used in the past to justify...

    Things people assume for some reason that drives you nuts

    This. I also don't text, and some people have the gumption to tell me that I need these things. That drives me nuts.

    Things besides guns we should ban to give ourselves the delusion of safety

    Only relevant premise in the argument. The rest of the argument basically boils down to "Alcohol is also dangerous," and "People will find other methods of murder." The alcohol point works better as an argument against the consumption of alcohol than an argument against the outlawing of...

    Poll: What weapons will you use in a zombie apocalypse?

    1.) I think you're right, but I was speaking in a broader sense. After all the point you were making was "guns are the best option during the zombie apocalypse," not "guns are the best weapons for the zombie apocalypse, for everyone on this site." Or at least, I thought it was, it would...

    Poll: What weapons will you use in a zombie apocalypse?

    I disagree with this rebuttal for a two reasons. 1.) The assumption that a person in the zombie apocalypse won't be in America seems reasonable. The U.S. population is about 350 million or so, compare to the Earth's population of about 6.7 billion. If you picked a person at random on the...

    Escapist Podcast: Bonus: Mass Effect 3 With Spoilers Part 2

    I didn't like the ending. There wasn't closure, parts of it didn't make sense (Normandy wtf?), it completely went against the themes of the game(s), and, in connection to the last point, the endings are essentially as follows: wreck the galaxy and kill your self by a.), wreck the galaxy and...

    The Big Picture: Not Okay

    While you may be correct in pointing out that most strangers wouldn't care about what they're saying or how it effect how it makes us look, I don't think it is an insignificant thing for Bob (or you and I for that matter) to say that we disagree with the current status of our community. I do...

    The Walking Dead Crashes Lifeless Romantic Comedy Movie

    Notch Volunteers to Fund Psychonauts Sequel - UPDATED

    Looks like he's "Kicking It Up A Notch," again. But seriously, if video games had a saint, it would be Notch.
