Once upon a time, there was a craze about Deus Ex because you don't have to kill anyone to beat the game. At the time, I didn't really care for it...why limit your arsenal? But hey, it may be fun. But it comes to another point: I need to do it for a...  [Read More]

If a guy was making a point about lawsuits being filed against anyone, it seems his strawman argument failed. The dispute is over wheter to use the word "rape" in a courtroom or not. To use it will go and harm the defendant in the case ove...  [Read More]

so the person in question would be unable to speak, write, type, or heck, cut and paste, or even nod at the right words. And a person would want to live in this state? Yes. I think I would choose to be in a PVS state forever rather than die. Don't...  [Read More]

I remember reading that PVS people dream. I mean, there are in a deep, deep sleep, unable to wake up, but they are not dead. Their brain is active though, so that they are able to dream and come up with strange thoughts. We won't know what thoughts,...  [Read More]

GAME BALANCE. In Medal of Honor: Frontline, it's a singleplayer game where you are genociding National Socialists NPCs. It's okay for you to be superpowerful and kill them all in one hit because NPCs don't complain, they just line up to be shot for...  [Read More]

"$100 or bust! $100 or bust!" What really is the problem is the fact that we are not the only buyers of Oil. Nations like India and China are booming and they too want oil. They can easily push the demand for Oil up, and therefore, the pri...  [Read More]

This sounds cool, I hope it will be somewhat similar to the original lightsaber arcade Star Wars game :D Me too! While the mindless shooting was boring, the lightsaber battles was quite epic indeed....  [Read More]
Aren't people innocent before proven guilty? And there are some speculation that the evidence against the missing girl's mother may not be good. I really am not so certain there should be a real thread about this until McCann gets declared Guilty by...  [Read More]

Oh...dear. You see, I was paying attention to how the Republicans are passing a bill in Calforina in 2008 that would divide electoral vote based on district rather than based on Winner-Take-All. Democrats were screaming that it was an unfair attempt...  [Read More]

*Halo 1's Boss Fight. Why? There was no bosses at all. On the last level, you just have a horde of Covenant, Droid, and Flood forces to blow up as you rush to escape Halo. That's much more awesome than having to fight an annoying epic battle...it's u...  [Read More]

Not really. Using human cells is bad because humans are, well, human. I'm sure pro-life advocates would wonder that if we can test on human embryos, why can't we test on human babies...Plus, humans need to consent to experiments...and embryos can't r...  [Read More]

The reason why human-animal embryo research might be okay is becuase anything that is not fully human is an animal, and therefore, can be treated like an animal. Therefore, we can do anything to said animal. It can be said to be morally premissable...  [Read More]

Interesting. Does your faith have a name? More pertinently, does it have a website where I might be able to read the general outlines set forth by the priests in this faith? Can't keep things a secret, huh? :) I'm a Muslim who is in the Sunni sect...  [Read More]
