    Narrative devices you hate

    I died a little inside when I read that. Apocalypse is hardly a "nobody" and the fact that so many people did not recognize who he was when he was shown at the end of the credits blows me away.

    Japanese Man Arrested On 3D Printed Firearms Possession Charges

    http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/ That is pretty much a base line right there and as far as I can tell, towards Spartan231490, there is no mention of gun ownership being a basic human right. "Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person" does not translate to "Everyone...

    Ubisoft Writer Predicts No Gay Game Heroes Anytime Soon

    To be fair I doubt very much that people looking for a gay protagonist would be happy with one who is mentioned to be gay in passing in a brief scene and that's it, seeing as how many aren't pleased with the level of the current gay protagonists and side characters in games already. Many would...

    "Conversations" Are Happening About Dredd Sequel, Says Karl Urban

    Just wanted to point out that those Metacritic scores do not represent people's opinion of the movie. The User Score rating of each movie is 8.2, meaning people in general enjoyed each movie about equally. Why anyone would go by the Critic Reviews over the User Score is beyond me.

    So people think I'm gay...

    My father used to say the first time someone calls you a horse you punch him on the nose, the second time someone calls you a horse you call him a jerk but the third time someone calls you a horse, well then perhaps it's time to go shopping for a saddle. But in all seriousness OP, why do you...

    Why do people get upset when something is over-praised or over-criticized?

    Honestly I believe it's the other way around. People expressing opinions contrary to popular opinion somehow feel their opinion is more unique and thus get a buzz off of that. They either consciously or unconsciously feel that their opinion matters more, since it goes against popular opinion...

    Kansas may halt cursive education

    Is it really that difficult to believe that people who write in print hold their pens in the same fashion that you do when you write in cursive? I could show you just as many illegible scribbles in cursive that look like they were done by a 2 year old. And really, do your eyes bleed and think...

    Kansas may halt cursive education

    It's not ordinary though as most languages do not connect entire words into one long swirly line. And again, as mentioned over and over in this thread...It's not just America, it's the majority of the world with the exception of England and parts (yes, only parts) of Australia. Also cursive...

    Kansas may halt cursive education

    The web took off publicly in the early 90s, making "kids who were born after the internet" around 20...Not being shy of puberty.

    Kansas may halt cursive education

    Cursive does appear quite beautiful on the page however in most cases print is far easier and quicker to read and recognize. Likely why it is used with electronic devices and all over the web.

    Kansas may halt cursive education

    From this thread we've mainly only had people from England claiming it's prominence. There were some from Australia however there were multiple conflicting accounts of that as even a proposed teacher chiming in to say that he had never seen an Australian high school student provide work in...

    Fan theories you firmly believe in

    One that I subscribe to that many don't is about Donnie Darko:

    Americans die in the new Assassins Creed 3 trailer

    That's what I was getting at...It's hypocritical to say that the British were "evil", "bad", "wrong" or anything else when America and almost any other country would do the same.

    Americans die in the new Assassins Creed 3 trailer

    So just for argument's sake...Say Hawaii or Texas got tired of the rest of America forcing their government on them and wanted to create their own country...You'd totally let them right?

    Comic Book Villians you'd love to see in film, but haven't been done yet

    Definitely Deathstroke please. Wouldn't mind Darkseid either to be honest.
