I had thought you were saying that O'Reilly was using Non-Correlating Data in his moon thing. He didn't use a great example, but I suspect that he does those videos quickly and that what he meant to say was more along the lines of the unmoved mover.

I thought the tone was alarmist at the beginning, but I felt that ended when the article began giving the other side. I believe the article was written solely to generate controversy, which is why the crazy lady was allowed to speak. Then it gave the other side, which wasn't as strongly...

Well that's always going to be a problem in a profit-driven media. But finding such a forum is difficult because somebody has to give it money. I agree completely. Cigarettes were just the first thing that came to mind. This is why socially I'm a traditional conservative (limited...

I didn't say Fox was unbiased; they do have a bias. More importantly, they are the most sensationalist of the major news networks. The title is there to get views (just like Andy's title). That's my biggest problem with Fox News; it loves to bring on crazy people. I don't think they do that...

I was speaking more generally. This particular Fox article is poorly done because one side is so obviously wrong (that the game will lead to rape). But the general debate about whether violent games lead to violence is worth having. The selling of cigarettes to minors is banned. We...

I do watch some of Fox News and have been for about 6 years, and it's not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. I don't agree with everything (and disagree with a lot of it) but I suspect most people hate Fox because they see cherry-picked clips, not because they actually have a clue about...

This moon business literally has nothing to do with the article, but I'll join in anyway. O'Reilly is alluding to Thomas Aquinas' idea of the Unmoved Mover. According to cause and effect, everything must have a cause. This creates a paradox where nothing could be created. To resolve this...

I'm surprised by the fact that the Escapist would put this on the front page, and I'm surprised at Chalk's complete lack of integrity in this particular story. I'm sickened (but not surprised) by the vitriol being spewed against Fox News in the comments section.

Going back a couple hours, but I just noticed this. Yes, the rape claim is fairly ridiculous, but its a website article so the author wants it to be viewed. But in general terms, the question of whether a game like Bulletstorm damages young children and makes them more prone to be violent...

O'Reilly had nothing to do with this story.... Here's the bit about rape (said by the wacko): Carol Lieberman, a psychologist and book author, told FoxNews.com that sexual situations and acts in video games -- highlighted so well in Bulletstorm -- have led to real-world sexual violence...

Ok. Yes, Fox News has a bias. But this escapist article was the probably the most dishonest and disgusting I've ever read on this site. I feel that he only read the first half of the article; I was expecting to click through the link and find an alarmist piece of nonsense. Instead, what I...

Yeah I've heard some people say Halo 2. Kill a brute with a shield who doesn't want to die. Yay Also when I first played that level I was pissed. I wanted to drive the Scarab so bad! And the ending of Super Mario Galaxy 1. Boring boss fight. (And I think Yahtzee had something to say...

The Chemical Wedding-Bruce Dickinson Accident of Birth-Bruce Dickinson Tyranny of Souls-Bruce Dickinson A Matter of Life and Death-Iron Maiden Dance of Death-Iron Maiden And since you said in your initial post that it didn't have to be strictly metal: The Meanest of Times-Dropkick...

My biggest problem with this article is that is stems from the belief that a game with a full-fledged campaign is a single-player game. I don't consider Modern Warfare 2 to be a single-player game. It seems to me that the game was created as a multiplayer game, and then the developers crafted...

It's kinda two buttons but... In Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, copying "simonsays" and then Enter -> ctrl+v. over and over and over again. In a minute, I'd have a couple hundred lightning fast killer ewoks at my disposal to raze one enemy fortresses per second.
