True. It's like a man arguing that obviously men have a higher pain tolerance than women because women can't be hit in the balls. Actually, it's worse than that because at least that man would be right by mistake. There have been many tests into pain tolerance and threshold. It's not...

It does, but there's an overall average. It's like height - there's a lot of variation between individuals and it's not uncommon for a specific woman to be taller than a specific man, but the average height of men is larger than the average height of women.

Why didn't any of the consultants I've seen for my permanent pain(*) mention anything of the sort? A rhetorical question - it's because it isn't true. It's just prevailing sexism. Predicate: Women are superior to men. Predicate: A higher pain tolerance is better. Conclusion: Women...

No. Come to think of it, none of the homosexual couples I've known are like that. I'm sure there are some that are, but it's certainly not universal in either homosexual or heterosexual couples.

If it's just proof they exist, I think it'll be pandemonium for a couple of weeks and then replaced by someone famous getting married or splitting up, or a sports competition, i.e. business as usual for almost everyone. Some of the nuttier theists would kill themselves and/or other people, some...

Every test apart from the Myhbusters one shows either no significant difference or, more commonly, a higher average pain tolerance amongst men. The Mythbusters test was biased to produce the result they wanted, as clearly shown in the intro to it. It's not difficult to bias a test with a large...

In practice, it isn't as good as it first seems. The casing of the monitors really gets in the way. It's like fitting bars to the windscreen of your car - irritating. Also...who can afford 6 good monitors and a PC capable of rendering games at 3x2 times the native resolution of them? You're...

You're right, but you're missing one factor. PC games are cheaper than console games, which is obviously a factor in the overall cost of gaming. Console games include a payment to the console company, which of course is passed on to the customer. As you say, it can go either way. It mainly...

Maybe they're just annoyed by you parading your complete ignorance of PC gaming and forming risible opinions from it.

The controller issue is silly - a PC is obviously better because it can use a far wider variety of input devices, including a console-style controller. A mouse is vastly better than a controller for precise movements and a keyboard has more keys, which allows for easier use of complex games and...
