    Poll: Dubstep. Music or not music?

    Music is just organized sound, so yes dub step is music. You can argue that it isn't good but there is no logical argument you can make that says it isn't music. Also just because something is noise doesn't actually mean it isn't music. John Cage did a lot of experimental stuff using noise like...

    Why do certain kids hate reading?

    I know my brother hates books, but that's mainly because he's autistic. He doesn't hate reading per-se but because he can't comprehend most of what he reads, he has negative feelings towards books.I think it's also because he lacks imagination (also a byproduct of his disability)and so can't...

    So what if I pirate games, why should you care?

    I don't see any reason why they shouldn't release demos of all games. That way there would be no justification for piracy because we'd all be able to try before buying. Plus there are a lot of games out there that i don't buy simply because i cant test it legally. If demos of all games were...

    So what if I pirate games, why should you care?

    I agree not all pirates are douchebags but I believe you are the minority not the norm. And the minority use of piracy is completely justifiable in my mind simply because not all developers release demos like they damn well should. But the majority use of piracy is unjustifiable.

    So what if I pirate games, why should you care?

    It appears I didn't make my popiont clear, I meant that they likely wouldn't have been bought by the one that would otherwise pirate them, even if we assume that all pirates everywhere bought the triple A titles that they would otherwise pirate, I'd bet good money that a lot of smaller devs and...

    So what if I pirate games, why should you care?

    People cant justify piracy based on an ideological way of thought in it being used for good like game testing or a means of getting games you cant anymore. That is not why people pirate games. If you seriously think that your truly either naive or ignorant

    So what if I pirate games, why should you care?

    Problem is your use of piracy isnt what most people use it for. Sure using piracy as a means of a game 'demo' is pefectly fine in my eyes. But the thing about demos is there are restrictions on them in both content and play time. People dont pirate to test games they pirate to get games they...

    So what if I pirate games, why should you care?

    I find that tough to swallow. Every friend i have that has a ds with an r4 cartridge uses it to get games like pokemon black, the world ends with you, bowser's inside story and the list goes on. These are AAA titles that sell everyday. Heck last month most of my friends got dragon age 2 through...

    So what if I pirate games, why should you care?

    I applaud you for buying the game , and yes i agree DRM sucks. If all pirates were like you, willing to buy after piracy, then I would have no issue. But i seriously doubt that most pirates are like you. As far as I'm concerned most people that pirate or crack their consoles are simply looking...

    So what if I pirate games, why should you care?

    Yes clearly there are times where piracy can be OK, obviously this issue isn't black and white in that sense. But if you pirate with no intention of ever buying, when a game is easily still able to be bought, how can that be justified. Sure you might say but i wouldn't have bought it anyway, but...

    So what if I pirate games, why should you care?

    Yeah. I get that my opinion is extremely exaggerated, but the fact is i don't think it's right to justify something simply because not enough people do it yet for it to cause huge ramifications. That's like saying that bullying or racism is fine simply because those committing the crime are the...

    So what if I pirate games, why should you care?

    It's not really about moral ground at all. If we say that piracy is fine then we agree that games shouldn't be bought ever. Frankly i don't think anyone is that stupid. I think the more likely is that people say piracy is fine because they're under the delusion that piracy is enough of a...

    So what if I pirate games, why should you care?

    This whole discussion frankly is ridiculous. Sure sometimes piracy is OK like when a game can't be bought anymore or maybe when a game isn't released in your region and the console is region locked (no-one in their right mind is going to buy a new console for one game) but come on, can anyone...
