I think its pretty funny when he gets offended by that question. Shit, he should take it as a compliment. Also, the "GRRM is not your bitch" thing linked at the end of that article is way overused. GRRM has made fuckloads of money off his fans, he has said this is his magnum opus. To expect...

Yep, the laws against underage drinking seem to have led to an increase in the actual problem, which is overindulgence.

So you are really in favor of expulsion for under-age drinking? Now Mist HATES college, so hell, probably sees expulsion as a benefit. You aren't an idiot, so I assume you understand that expulsion is a very serious thing. It can cause people to lose scholarships, have wasted huge amounts of...

I loved the Watchmen also, was shocked to hear that people didn't like it afterwards. I only saw the director's cut though, maybe the normal version was worse?

This thread needs Mikhail or Izo to be ranting about the horrors of nuclear power. It is way too rational atm.

Tanoomba, I basically agree with you on most of your points (well, after your change). However, what I couldn't fathom is your continued statements that you thought Mist was making sense. She kept seeming to say, over and over, that she was using the rape issue as a proxy to fight underage...

Comparing a movie to Dark Knight as the bar of what is a good movie is pretty crazy man. Sure, they weren't as good as Dark Knight and maybe Spiderman 2, but I thought xmen-2 was better than Spiderman 1 and certainly FAR superior to the Tim Burton Batman's. X-men 2 I think is also much better...

Yep, hipsters be hating. Both X1 and X2 were hits when they came out and very popular. Both of them are 80+ on Rotten tomatoes (not perfect, but rarely does a movie get 80+ if its shit) and they also have held up.

Yeah, pretty much. That lion picture makes me sad.

Well, maybe they are trolling you. Then again, anyone who doesn't think higher mammals have "real emotions" is probably trolling or stupid also.

Posting here, as I don't want to spoil the show for people. You were pretty much right on the money with the flashbacks, they are definitely using them in the tv show. What worries me about the tv show is they seem to be adding some mystical angle to the thing. The dad having visions, his...

I really hate the GR. They are the equivalent of the Westboro baptist church and I just have a visceral hatred of them. Yet the book (and show) spend a good 1/3rd of the time focusing on them. I don't know if the author wants us to hate them or feel sorry for them, but I sure as fuck find it...

Ordered this today. Hopefully will finish it this weekend.

I missed this?

There is pretty much zero scientific doubt that the higher mammals at least experience emotion, pretty much in the exact same way we do. At least the more basic ones, like fear, joy, etc. So yeah, dogs, cats, dolphins, elephants, etc, they have real emotions. It gets murkier when you talk...

Path of Exile is the exact opposite of shallow. With the complexity of the passive tree, huge number of uniques that "break" game rules and the large numbers of skill gems, the amount of possible builds is staggering. Then you throw in the races and the new leagues with new rules and mechanics...

Valve Bioware Blizzard

If they take this show beyond the book, it might be more interesting. However, the book ended on a very blah note for most of the people that read it in the book club. So if all it does is cover the first book, forget it. I do plan on watching it just to see if the portrayal of survivors is...

I don't think women or menshould have to dress differently not to be raped. I don't think men or women should have to refrain from drinking to avoid rape or false accusations of rape. On the other hand, if women or men do either, you apparently don't give a shit if they are raped. That is...

I'm not so sure. I mean, her issue seems to also include a sick need to use any method, even something as detestable as increasing the likelihood of false rape accusations, simply to lower the amount of drinking at schools (and doesn't seem to care that much of that drinking is consensual). She...

Yes Mist, rape and the false accusation of rape are both things. You on the other hand think they are in some sense both "good" because they hold back behavior you dislike. Honestly, your attitude is fucking disgusting and hypocritical. In fact, I find it hard to believe someone could be so...

Yep, exactly. Mist's argument is pretty disgusting.

She is the kind of liberal that gives other liberals a bad name. "I want freedom to do everything I want, but want to outlaw behavior I don't like"

It is possible to both tip and still think the system is shitty. There is no doubt that non-tippers are scum. However, the tipping system is shitty and should be gotten rid of.

What happened to posting trailers of shows you are going to comment on? Looks bad, I'll pass.

Kegkilla, stop nerding out over Michael Bay.

For Tanoomba and Vaclav, a response to the defense from the solar powered roadways project.

Taking your child to this should be actionable as child abuse.

Are you implying that Tanoomba is defending women on an internet message board that has almost zero women on it as a strategy to sleep with women?

Okay, I had to see what you were talking about. Holy crap what bullshit. I hope no one takes that seriously.

In this thread, lots of self-proclaimed nerdslayers crying about being slain.

Sorry, fuck, I meant 20%.

Sorry. After which, Ramsay sends out a force of combined Whiteharbor and Frey men. Manderly is definitely alive, just with a facial cut.

Read the fucking books.

Except Stannis's camp isn't filled with people looking to betray him. Bolton is in a castle with a fuckload of Manderly's. Yeah, he is really secure!

I still don't get it. If on average I spend $40 at a restaurant and then pay $20 in tips, if the restaurant then to charging 20% more than $40 and redistributing that money equally to the waitresses, how would that hurt the average consumer at all? If anything it would seem to help compensate...

Stannis is about to crush Bolton and all the Frey's there while hooking up with Manderly. A sure shit more likely that Frey's get their just desserts that way than one lone crazy lady that spends more time in the books trying to hang Brienne than hanging Frey's.

That's real retarded sir.

I didn't find Lady Stoneheart cool. Hanging the freys, okay. However, the hanging of Brienne and Pod felt very artificial and part of the many "false cliffhangers" in AFFC and DWD. Cliffhangers that were supposed to be scary but weren't because we know they don't mean shit. Similar to Jon's...

If Wizardhawk is alive, that means he abandoned us and cared nothing while we wept and cried over his death. This should offend us deeply.
