    Jimquisition: Guns Blazing

    Aaaawww nuts. I was really looking forward to Dark Souls 2. =/ I so hope you are wrong, but I suspect you right about this. We will get anonymous brown/grey action RPG clone Speaking of 'not for all audiences'. part of the sexism debate you have banged on about relentlessly as of late...

    Jimquisition: Objectification And... Men?

    Rebel Raven. What I do not understand is what solution you propose to this 'problem'. Should all games be written from a neutral perspective and have the option to play as both sexes? Maxine Payne? Alisa Wake?

    Jimquisition: Objectification And... Men?

    Thats a pretty arrogant thing to say. I simply do not buy the basic premise of the point Jim is trying to make. Money. If there are more males in the audience, which was the case for a long time then choosing a male as lead character is a safer bet. I think its changing as publishers...

    Jimquisition: Objectification And... Men?

    They what? you'd almost think they were some kind of mammal! To some degree this is true. Jim's crusade on this issue has the unpleasant stench of feminism and its eternal double standards to it. I find myself in agreement with a lot of your observations.

    Jimquisition: Objectification And... Men?

    I cannot agree with Jim on this. Both men and women are visually idealized versions pretty far removed from the real world, in most games that feature either. When was the last time you played an overweight computer geek in a heavy shooter? No? Never? How come, I doubt all members of the...

    Meat eaters should have to kill for their food.

    I think the main ethical problem with human carnivores is that we are too selective in our choice of fat and protein. To much love for the comfort foods we know. We should develope a taste for invasive species. some types of crabs are delicious and a pest. So you can eat those knowing that you...

    Meat eaters should have to kill for their food.

    The hypocrisy of vegetarians and their hizbollah like splinter fraction 'the vegans' never cease to amaze me. I believe that most humans who consume flesh are fully aware that death was in fact part of their meal. But the veg*ns close their eyes to the fact that many small critters end their...

    Vegetarians - why?

    I hope it hasnt been lost on anyone that the whole world started to get really fat and heartsick once we adopted the "food pyrmid". A couple of articles to for your reading pleasure: "Since the early 1970s, for instance, Americans' average fat intake has dropped from over 40% of total...

    Vegetarians - why?

    So? They have an interrest in having the study done obviously. Guilt by association? please quote from the paper. that would be the organisation that calls Cocoa Puffs heart healthy, yes? No, you should eat some heart healthy cocoa puffs instead. I agree with this. you have to...

    Vegetarians - why?

    No such page. I have done my homework. getting rid of the overprodcution caused by forcing crop prices below the cost of producing them. What you should read is. "We only actually need about 12% of the crop we yield" That means, the rest is overproduction they need to get rid off. And they...

    Vegetarians - why?

    I am an avid journal reader. But I also have a few blogs i frequent written by people I know also likes to look at the data themselves. What criterion did you use to come to that conclusion? I too think that a guy like Mcdougalls come of as entirely likeable. But I have to look at how this...

    Vegetarians - why?

    well proven. By whom? You talked about journals. Lets see the them. The environmental impact is largely due to the way we handle animals. Not the animals themselves or the amounts of them. http://donmatesz.blogspot.com/2011/03/operation-hope-meat-is-medicine-for.html

    Vegetarians - why?

    There is no universally agreed, legally binding, criminal law definition of terrorism.[1][2] Common definitions of terrorism refer only to those violent acts which are intended to create fear (terror), are perpetrated for a religious, political or ideological goal, deliberately target or...

    So... I just found out my brother is gay.

    one of my mates went from being rather rough around the edges to become a feminine gay. The transformation was slow but I will never forget the conversation in which he broke the news. He invited me down to our local oasis and after some usualy casual pleasantries this dropped: "So, I have...

    Vegetarians - why?

    thats why I post links to precisely that. But perhaps the forum doesnt paste links or? Am I the only one who can see my links directly to the papers. Or that is, the abstracts and then you can access them by paying a symbolic fee if you genuinely want to know and read them. It's good for you!
