But... that's not true. At all. The size of uncompressed video is a factor of length and resolution, not of what's actually in the image. A pixel is a pixel is a pixel; they take up exactly the same amount of space regardless of what's in them. A completely black frame is exactly the same size...

You know, no matter how much anyone loves the BG series, and regardless of it's actual strengths, it's almost impossible to argue in it's favor from the position of elitism that the people supporting it on this thread are taking. "You *only* spent 4 hours trying to learn the game? You didn't...

Neither are actually physically possible. Quantum mechanical effects aren't capable of affecting items that are that big, and that's the only way you'd actually see anything even remotely resembling that sort of reaction. Newtonian physics, while not accurate on a subatomic level, rather...

I suppose part of the problem you two are having deals with the fact that you seem to be operating on different definitions of *natural*. There's no genetic imperative that deals with incest on a hereditary level. There's a definite imprinting that occurs when you're dealing with the raising of...

All these? Wait, I think I rather specifically mentioned that such things would be really rare. But allow me to reiterate that. Such cases are not very likely, lets say exceptionally rare even, for a wide range of reasons. That doesn't mean they don't exist. And it doesn't mean they *can't* exist.

Also, considering that we cannot do a sampling of people with incestuous feelings to any degree of accuracy, calling on us to find people that meet a very vague definition of sanity is all but impossible. I could ask you to find a similar list of people that are insane who had feelings towards a...

Huh, so how exactly is the teacher exerting pressure on the student to have sex with them? If the teacher says no, but the student persists till eventually they give in, is the teacher still exploiting their position? If the teacher simply goes along with it because they don't want to *hurt* the...

Inappropriate isn't the same as necessarily *wrong*. Even in the groups you've mentioned there may be cases in which the situation *isn't* exploitive. The rules are set up as thus because it's far less frequent for them to be exploitive than not, and because failure to set them up that way...

Eh, the Oedipus comment was actually posted in delay to your second post, so the whole exploitive stuff hadn't appeared on my screen yet. So, with that, I'd withdraw the comment. But I still call bullshit on it *necessarily* being exploitive. If the older sibling never shows any interest, but...

Huh. That's interesting. Personally, I'd be more concerned about the ero-games that basically let you *rape* other characters than I would be about consentual sex between step-siblings when it comes to making video gaming look bad. I'm still not totally sure I buy your argument that there's...

Hmm, would you then discount the Greek play of Oedipus as being completely without worth? I mean, the whole thing is about a guy having sex with his mother! That being said, I find it odd that the concept of consentual (and that's a key point) sex with a sibling is some how worse (or even...
