    Do I deserve to be spat on for saying this to a gay person?

    It seems that your friend was annoyed by the fact that two people were vigorously making out in front of him, not because they were both men. He doesn't deserve to be spat on (no matter what his beliefs are). Here's the scummy response to two guys kissing in front of you. "hey faggos, take...

    Your favorite anime Characters?

    I'm really surprised I haven't seen any Gintama characters on the front page so: Sakata Gintoki Katsura Kotaro Madao Takasuge Shinsuke the Shinsengumi (count them as one character)

    That Game you wish you could forget just so you could play it again ?

    Star Wars Battlefront 2. I also wish I could forget the existence of current-gen graphics and lag-free online as well ;)

    Not sure I get all the Nintendo Bashing that goes on around here.

    I don't hate Nintendo's consoles--I'm annoyed by the fact that they keep humping the legs of 10+ year-old franchises... I liked the DS a ton. It had meh graphics, but innovative game-play and a diverse array of games. I don't see that on the Wii. All I saw was Nintendo taking advantage of...

    Poll: What was your First Pokemon?

    I'm glad to see (based on the poll results) that most Pokemon players are really trainers. Real men beat Brock's Onyx with scratch and ember, not vine whip and bubble.

    Zero Punctuation: God of War III

    I really never got how Kratos could take out gods, or how you could conceivably take out Cronus--he's the master of time. As we see in Greek mythology, the gods **** up the heroes who challenge them and and favor the ones who do their chores. In either case, they always were supposed to get...

    Infinity Ward doesn't think Modern Warfare 2 can be beat

    Who cares. Why doncha guys stop handing your $$s to all of these copy-paste "modern shooters" and stop feeding their obnoxiously huge egos--as well as your own!

    Zero Punctuation: Final Fantasy XIII

    I dunno, I played FF10 and the PS2 Real-time one and my biggest problem was with the fact that a bit over %50 of the story seemed to be the equivalent of anime filler--it didn't help to define that characters, nor did it advance the plot.

    The Difference Between Acting and Adam Sandler

    Sorry to get a bit off track, but your profile pic confuses me--a lot. Help me understand before my brain begins to hemorrhage.

    The Difference Between Acting and Adam Sandler

    Don't just stop at movie acting--in America, our televised news is pretty much a spectacle for entertainment purposes. How would you explain Michael Jackson/Pamela Anderson/Tiger Woods getting multiple weeks worth of "NEWS" coverage. It's the culture we live in (read Neil Postman's "Amusing...

    Poll: So, why do you do it!?

    that's my personal view, and why I included the third option in the poll ;)

    Poll: So, why do you do it!?

    Hmmm...well I'll come up with a personal example that relates to your film/engineer analogy. I'm considered skilled in art by my peers. However, I regularly pull As and Bs in the humanities/social science as well as in math and physics. However, there are those amongst my peers who can best...

    Poll: So, why do you do it!?

    you mean the point to my initial rant/argument? I'm arguing that there is a value in having a diversified knowledge base, b/c when you have adequate knowledge (not necessarily expertise) in more subjects, you are better able to engage others in discussion rather than just remaining ignorant...

    Poll: So, why do you do it!?

    I'm in the same boat in a way, and I don't believe that you should have to retread on subjects you've already studied. I took two years of calculus and I'm going to have to take it, yet again, for a dispersion credit, b/c I don't take an AP. There are plenty of flaws in the education...
