    CBL Episode 6: Mount & Blade: Warband

    I'm gonna go ahead and echo the last poster- M&B is really a successful game because of the mods. But thats in defense of the game than anything against your review. Speaking and presentation wise, I would suggest you try doing your review without a script. You know what you want to say, so...

    Rush Limbaugh (Oh, I hope this thread survives its 1st page)

    In many of the earlier poster's defense, the question is why one would hate Rush. An answer like "He's fat," while lacking legitimacy, is quite clearly a reason. An even better one is that he is egotistical, arrogant, and often quite disrespectful to others who have a legitimate point simply...

    The Socratic Method: What Constitutes The "Best" Nation?

    Don't you know Socrates was happy to die? The man supported his society, even if he disagreed with it. I would not use him to disprove democracy's legitimacy. But then, I make sense. This point doesn't even respond to the OP's original reference to Robert Dahl, who was very correct in...

    Poll: what causes more fights

    Politics is the mechanism of war. Religion is often an excuse to facilitate such conflicts, but I would view it skeptically as the cause.

    Poll: Religion and you

    Everything is belief. If it weren't for that damned Matrix movie, I would have a nice explanation for that point. However, because of that movie, any point founded on Hume's critisms of causation will only be met with "it was only a movie!" Damn you Keanu Reeves.

    Poll: Will we ever see the end of prejudice?

    Wrong. Courts behave that way because they aren't individuals. No one can live their lives stuck in uncertainty, but we are all doomed to ignorance. We must, at some point or another, make an assertion that cannot be backed up by proper evidence. Of course, its even arguable that such a...

    The Socratic Method: What Constitutes The "Best" Nation?

    Using the Socratic method on a message board is a bit like playing a game of catch with 50 people. And the Socratic method, more often than not, was simply used to demonstrate the ignorance of the questioned, not to discover the truth. See The Apology. Before I stick my foot too far into my...

    National ID Cards

    If you forget your bank card or drivers license alot, then yes bad things can happen. I really don't see how thats oppresive. Thats just the way things have worked and will work.. Identity theft is a lasting issue that can have horrible ramifications in a life but I don't see how its in any...

    National ID Cards

    I'm sorry, which human rights exactly? Privacy, while recognized in some areas, is not considered an internationally strong or well-defined human right. Otherwise, I can only see this card facilitating the abuse of human rights, like the freedom of movement. The card assists, but in no way is...

    Poll: Will we ever see the end of prejudice?

    Indeed, the truth is yours to form. Hence prejudice. If there was some rule or standard by which we had to live to call something "fact" beyond our own experiences, prejudice would have a hard time of it. But there isn't, so people just make shit up as they go. And they always will, because...

    Talking to your dog....

    "Hey, so when you guys take over the world in the barkvolution of 2023, we're cool right?" "Woof" "No, seriously. I mean, my mom made me get you neutered. It was nothing personal, ok?" "Woof" "I can't talk to you when you are like this! I just want us to be together when the day of...
