Utnayan is obviously wrong on this, it isn't even a question. Look at beginning generation games on Xbox 360 vs now, or especially PS3 vs now. The differences are night and day. He can't admit that though, because it runs against his "all game developers are lazy, greedy and assholes", his...

Even if the PS4 and Xbone don't do as well as before, that won't really matter for anyone on these forums. I certainly could give a fuck about gaming on tablets. The consoles will still be by far the better gaming experience than tablets and that is all that will matter for gaming enthusiasts.

In solidarity with you, I will refrain from masturbating to women. However, trannies that look like women are still a go. Possibly men too, will see how it goes.

I disagree that it isn't in the same league as other fucked up shit. Being treated like dirt by your parents as they heaped praise on another sibling has to have had huge effects on you. It isn't a minor thing at all. Do you have any relationship with your sister or did your parents abuse...

Our stepfather. Yeah, I talked about it at some point before, I think in a thread on sociopaths or something in general chat.

My teen brother killing our family dog and her puppy with a handgun in order to earn the right to get his driver's license. The first shot apparantly only ripped off the jaw or something of the mother and then they obviously freaked out so it took many other shots to kill them. Story I wish I...

Students who protest their grades after I go out of my way to fucking give them a better grade than they deserve. Right now I am going to have to go in front of a committee to defend me giving someone a C- to a person that got a 63% weighted score in the class. The only people I ended up...

Blowing your load is natural. You aren't going to "wake up from a cloud" or some stupid shit from not fapping. Makes as much sense as those dumb fuckers that go on "cleanse" diets and talk about how lifechanging it is and how much energy they have afterwards. Check these out and have some...

I have a friend who is rabidly anti-gun and said that even in the face of an attacker, she wouldn't want one. So I laid out a scenario, suppose you were being followed at night by a rapist, even in this scenario you wouldn't want one? "No", she said, "because I would probably be really nervous...

The view that higher mammals other than humans simply have evolutionary responses and don't have emotions similar to humans is outdated. Plenty of studies have shown that dogs for example have rich emotional lives, same with dolphins and orcas. If you aren't "moved" by them, then bully for you I...

Animals often cry in distress. If this doesn't move you, perhaps you are the one with the problem.

Araysar, begone. You are not allowed to make fun of any sci-fi movie as long as you profess love for Prometheus. In the scale of sci-fi movie taste, even Astro has you beat.

I don't agree with this at all. HBO would have brought a bigger budget, better actors, better scripts, better directing. Basically, everything being better from the top down. The casting is the big issue with me on this show. Coulson is the only one I remotely enjoy watching doing his thing...

This. A friend of mine loves the book and thinks it taught him abunch about life and so dragged me to see this movie. I came away thinking he seemed like an idiot. To each their own though. He definitely was more intelligent than any of the scientists in Prometheus.

Maybe that is your problem bro. Start hittin up the dark lasses, you will learn to enjoy it. You know what they say, once you've gone black you won't go back or something like that.

Is that anthem gender-neutral? Take a stand for gender neutral anthems atRestore Our Anthem

I enjoyed the pilot. Introduced a whole bunch of characters though, will be interesting to see where it goes.

Being on HBO would have been awesome, but I don't think budget is the problem with this show. You can cast good actors or you can go the lazy way out and just cast goodlooking people. The networks always tend to go toward the latter, even if they are completely wooden with no chemistry.

Where is Mikhail to whiteknight Christianity and attack Araysar for spreading anti-christian bigotry?

I am curious Hodj, what got you interested in anthropology? What are you wanting to do when you finish your degree? Also just lol at mikhail again showing he is incapable of having a rational debate. Post a video of muslims openly advocating stoning in a modern country and he sees the main...

Why slander mules Hodj, they are good honest pack animals.

How shocking, the first thing he does to "defend" his point of view is to assert he is the smartest person in the room.

Any attempt to take you even remotely serious as a person is gone at this point. Goodbye. I'm fairly sure Hodj's kids are more mature than you.

Asserting this doesn't make it true and Hodj has pointed out some examples of economics doing just that. You just happen to dismiss those examples and claim they aren't science. As you seem to be trying to do with any arguments against your case. But lets say that you are right and there are...

Anyway, as far as economics being a science, of course it can be. You can base it on statistics. Make some assumptions, come up with some conclusions and test those conclusions with gathered data. Or you can make shit up. Which some economists do. It seems that it would be very convenient for...

Anything that isn't pure mathematics or completely applied mathematics (computer science) is not science and should be completely discarded. This view has nothing to do with it allowing me to look down on everyone else. I hereby dismiss everything from all sciences softer than that.

Dumar, you have said several times that we can't think about these topics through the scientific process. Why is that? If your theories can't be tested and can't be proven (assuming this is the case), then why should we accept them as face value? If Marx says that capitalism inevitably goes...

Someone answer this and not by citing Marx. What proof do we have that capitalism inevitably leads to communism and the abolition of personal property?

Long commutes suck. Everytime I think about them, I feel like all that commute time is sucking my life away.

Respectfully Dumar, you answer the questions by quoting Marx. This is what you posted in regards to masking... You aren't answering the question. You are appealing to Marx. Convince me of it in your own words or with research, don't simply say "Marx says".

But you said you didn't respect me because I had never played HL2.

I have a great many doubts about the real possibility of a technological Singularity. I think we are far more likely to end up with a future more likeA Deepness in the Skythan we are something likeAccelerando. The progress that AI, computers and science in general has been tremendous, but it...

Well, how can you be so sure? The philosophy classes that I studied marxism seemed pretty clearly to be unfalsifiable. Why are you so sure that history progresses this way? You concede that these things will take a long time to develop. To me it seems that in order for there to be any hope of...

I am a bit shocked at Tanoomba getting rickshawed. It is a clear sign that hanging out in the shaw, even as someone that has never committed a crime, can turn you to the dark side. When will I start posting pictures of people's children? Will I start creating Prometheus threads? Am I going to...

What does this mean exactly?

Essentially you won't take my farm away from me because I won't consider it my farm by then? So your system has no hope of happening for several generations, is that what you are telling me? I can assure you, after all the time that my dad has spent there and I have spent helping him on that...

Catch me if you can. Do it.

Sorry, but just because it is a zombie apocalypse movie doesn't mean we have to accept bad writing and stupid characters.

Before you consider that racist, dont you need to determine the religion of the author? If he is a jew, isn't he allowed to say it?

I asked for an explanation of the communist platform, got only a response that education was important. I gave a concrete example of a conflict that might happen with abolition of private property, not answered at all. I think these are important questions that should be easy to answer for...
