Why does your choice to be offended trump freedom of speech? I actually do have some difficulty understanding transgender people, maybe you can help, after all this is what this thread is about, is it not? So right to the point; I have a tough time considering transgender people to be...

It's a minor insult thrown around by certain quarters used to imply that being normal is somehow not normal. Something that the social justice brigade seem to spend their entire lives doing. Pretty straightforward really.

That's like saying "you don't need laws against theft, because no one will steal regardless of whether there are laws or not". What was it you said elsewhere in this post? Don't be passive aggressive, and "call a spade a spade". Here you are conducting some name calling of your own in a...

Do they not go hand in hand to some degree though? How can someone be held accountable for their actions without transparency? You are deferring evaluation and judgement on something that impacts you to some higher authority to keep tabs on all of the decision makers who report into them and...

I suppose this is the thing for me really, and why I am posing the question (stuck it in OT as there isn't really a good alternative place to put it). I think a lot of people strongly want these things when lack thereof affects them directly, which is why we know which bills politicians...

I would prefer if people discuss the topic in the context it has been presented rather than making things up to start a fight. If you don't want to talk about whether or not transparency and accountability are good things (or not) in life in general, please at least refrain from attempting to...

Think about all the things you do in life that are subject to some sort of hierarchy, where other people have decision making powers to impact whatever you do, be it work or leisure. Simple question for everyone. Do you expect people who are able to pass the laws that you live under, the...

Will ffronw give me my money back on the basis that they have made someone who enjoys making personal attacks against me (and somehow is immune to infraction unlike everyone else, because: double standards) a moderator? As a subscriber the least I should be able to expect is not to be...

Wow, making someone who is openly hostile to other users of the forum a mod. Utterly disgusting and indicative of ongoing misrepresentation of the balance in this community. Can I have my $20 (or whatever it was) back?

A lot of the things you dont seem to like, I'm a huge fan of, particularly more random whores. That said, the TV series has to operate within limitations of time constraints and the the corners they have cut to get to where they are. The book series has turned into a trainwreck and needs...

Apple envy. Plus they probably want to eventually push whatever they can into a subscription model. If Linux finally breaks through to become something other than for web servers and hobbyists, it will be due to Microsoft's policies rather than the various linux offerings being any good.

AC series is incredibly tired by this point. They need to rest it for a few years and devise a way to make the next release in say 5-10 years a blockbuster.

Haven't watched the 2nd one as I refuse to spend money on it due to it's man hating director. So option 4) I don't know.

Valve: 1) Bin Greenlight 2) Bin Early Access 3) Remove "Curators" 4) Implement Quality Control 5) Implement Customer Service 6) Remove existing dross from sale that fails to meet quality control. 7) Release Source 2 8) Release all the 3's as a Valve Source 2 Masterworks Pack 9) Expand...

I don't know. "feminism" or "bae". Both words that equally require expunging. One could argue that they are brain bleach worthy in fact. If the past 9 months or so are a reasonable indication of online behaviour; On balance, feminists are probably more likely to brigade any social topic...
