This article is silly. For the most part, they are trying to use people's fantasies as their evidence. Every damn person on the planet has a fantasy, an ideal self-image and a superior goal. Which, as impossible as they may be, we all strive for it. Games tend to offer us the attainment of our...

You apparently dont understand the purpose of philosophy. Philosophy is used when there is no possible or no conceived way to test a theory. Say you are given a box, this box cannot be opened and you can't see through it, but you can shake it, hit it , move it, weigh it, whatever your "hard...

The fact that people can be taken down is exactly what IS inspiring about an individual instead of a group. When you look at a single person, relatively speaking, they are so frail and easy to break when compared to a group. But the fact that this single person is willing to stand up and be...

This isn't a matter of honor, you seem to confuse honor for bravery. If you truly believe in what you stand for, you don't give a damn for the consequences, even if it means death. When John F. Kennedy did what he did, he knew he'd be targeted by the cruelest, meanest and worst people the world...

have you ever heard had a situation where you would normally not do something. say, for example, get drunk. Then you got to a bar with friends and they complain at you, "just one" or things of that ilk, eventually you cave and have one, then another, then next thing you know, you're piss-drunk...

I love that, apparently, you need a Guy Fawkes mask to be allowed to say no? how about we just do it with our real faces, it's easy to hide behind a mask, it's hard to face a problem as a human. A mask dehumanizes, it removes the individual, no individual gets a say and it's only the...

Here is a general list of responses when someone decides to stir the shit-pot. Videogames are stupid. If we are to judge other mediums by the standards we judge videogames, then yes, all art forms are absolutely stupid. if we look at impressionism, hell, look at Jackson Pollock he has...

well, Duke Nukem (it's his damn day job, he'll be doing it anyway) Batman (because It's Batman) Gordon Freeman (he's fucked with soldiers, aliens, zombies, interdimentional beings and giant fucking baby monster, i dont think aliens have anything that can surprise him) Ezio Auditore...

Oh, where to start? I was first discriminated by teachers and classmates since kindergarten, because i was a few months younger than everyone else (being born in November let me in at 4 when everyone else was 5) therefore i MUST be the "stupid little kid" of the classes. Then i got crap because...

In the words of great men before me; "Deal with it" As someone who works with kids regularly (and i mean kids, from 3 - 12 years old) I can kind of see what you're getting at (and i see some of the worst ones, hell, I've taught judo to a sociopath), but honestly? You want to ban kids from...

i had to stay in for a week's worth of recess in grade 5 because i coughed while the teacher was talking... i hated that school...

Definitely not going to say anything about the rambling on bit. That is definitely true. But a lot of the "I think" and what not is somewhat necessary, no? If I'm going to post something that is not fact, its better to say that its my own personal opinion, right? Thanks for the feedback.

to answer your questions in order, The purpose of the article was to possibly publish it in a magazine or newspaper,and use the feed back to reflect on my mark, so it's less of if my teacher gets it, and more if the general public will get it. Also, i decided to come up with a few more...

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll take a look at it ans see if i can squeeze one in.
