It's totally homophobic - anyone saying that the father is the butt of the joke is missing how hard the cartoonist has worked to make that not be the case. The father threatens to kill his son if he's gay, and the SON delivers the punchline, then they both laugh about it. How is the dad the...

Okay, so this thread has attracted some rather caustic vegetarian voices, and some rather dismissive omnivorous ones - everyone feeling a little holier-than-thou. I suppose I side with the omnivores, but for a different reason than simple personal preference (though I do see that as a perfectly...

Ooooh, I've seen this done a few times and always wanted to give it a go! Is it too late to throw my hat in the ring? I'll end in a number anyway, fingers crossed I can play too...

How about rather than writing snooty posts accusing others of not making logical sense, you acknowledge that you've been backtracking on your original post the whole damn time? Let's take a look at that first post, if you wanna get technical... "The only thing I don't accept as music is rap...

Quoting for truth - well said! This guy knew he was beaten when he was typing the words "I never claimed that anything I said was a fact". Stating that rap/hip-hop is objectively not music is WORLDS away from stating that it's music that he doesn't like, and he knows it. Neither he nor anyone...

Oh, okay - you're not worried what other people think, you're worried what she'll think... In that case, you've been talking for 2 years?! Jump, man! And do it without any kind of smokescreen. Don't make her feel like a detour on your journey somewhere else, make her feel good about being...

You're taking this waaaay out of context - he's not connecting the obesity to the having no friends, he's trying to say that he doesn't want to sound like he's judging the WoW player in his story. Semicolons separate items in a list, and he's listing off prejudices (he says) he doesn't have...

3 things: 1. There's a difference between a dimension as you're using it and a parallel universe (sometimes erroneously referred to as an "alternate dimension", which is why you're confused). 2. The concept of "many worlds" (though untested) is certainly a valid one in legitimate science...

And you're a theoretical physicist, or somehow qualified to dismiss the work of physicists? No, I thought not. Quoting because randomsix is the only one yet to acknowledge that there is a HUGE body of theoretical physics behind the "many worlds interpretation". And surprise surprise, Agayek...

Totally this. Folks, it's not being re-released for your console or PC with the same graphics, it's BEING PUT IN YOUR PHONE. That's freaking awesome in my humble opinion, so I'll buy it again for my Android tablet for sure.

I hate to break it to you, but this was NOT eloquent. Eloquence requires grammatical accuracy as well as appropriate vocabulary, and you are far too fond of run-on sentences, coupled with inappropriate use of sub-clauses and passive/active voice. Let's compare your first sentence with a more...

Things FeralRadish doesn't know about English: Unlike many languages that have a formal governing body that determines language best practice for official purposes (French, Hebrew, German to name a few), English is a collaborative effort. As a living language, it isn't static, and...

Wow, so you're still intent on doing this, eh? It seems an awful lot like you're doing this for your own amusement, not the kid's sake... There have been plenty of folks who've pointed out perfectly reasonable justifications for why it's a dumb idea to them, and you're handwaving away the...

Don't name your kid just assuming that he'll be into all the same things you're into. So you'll be 'training him early' into geekdom, eh? Did you do exactly what your parents wanted you to do with your life? Is it any fairer to expect your child to be a gamer and a geek than it is to expect him...

Identical twins share the same DNA - by the extremely loose definition of 'clone' we appear to be using, they're clones of each other. No one's claiming that they're "the same person so it's masturbation" if identical twins have sex, it's just straight up incest. Same goes for some sort of...
