That's a good point - the comic even references the "voice not belonging among mortals". Wouldn't be surprising, but I have to say, I'm enjoying this comic more than the previous one by quite a bit....  [Read More]

This is a very difficult issue, but one point to consider is that freedom is not freedom when imposed. That's not entirely true. If a person or people don't know freedom, then sometimes forcing people out of their ruts is necessary. I don't like sa...  [Read More]

I'm rather saddened, almost offended, by that assertion. Since when did showing concern for the victims equate to a defence of child molestation? Are you a victim? If yes, feel free to be concerned for others who have suffered through what you have....  [Read More]

Yeah, like the SDS and the Black Panthers, ELF, ALF, etc.... Funny how most of that kind of political violence in the US has tended to come from the left over the last 50 or so years. Wouldn't happen to be because in the last 50 years we were living...  [Read More]

So, naturally, we should just sit by and let it get ever larger, right? Frankly, I'd rather have a "small" and useless govt than a large and useless one. At least they'd be less in my way. A federal govt that limited itself to negotiating f...  [Read More]

Not shrunk in the ways we would need it to, or want for that matter. Doesn't mean we stop trying to do it, though. Of course not, but there's always a fine line between a small useless government and a small effective government. Small and useless i...  [Read More]

I oppose the pets/decorations/costumes too though, because casuals love that stuff, I love them, and I don't want to pay extra for them. They're no big deal to gear-oriented players, but they are a big deal to the casual types. If you let the casual...  [Read More]

The only reason I even bothered referencing Gore in the first place was b/c of your contention that the teachers shouldn't be wasting kids time with questionable learning material that you felt had no bearing. Now, maybe TX was different and its publ...  [Read More]

Problem with professionals is that they are as biased as anyone else, but they have degrees/accredidation for said biases (regardless of their slant). Not saying they shouldn't be included in that kind of discussion, but a degree doesn't necessarily...  [Read More]

I think the government's influence was more necessary before we had instant access to information. We can check on a company to see how reputable they are on the internet. I mean think about it, if a manufacturer is using slave or child labor to prod...  [Read More]

As for the blood dragon armor in particular it kind of looks like a cartoony mandalorian-ish armor to me: 2960 It provides a +15% increase in Power damage and +10% increase in shield/armor/barrier strength. It does, which made me sad that I couldn't...  [Read More]
