    Could you guys fill in a quick thing for my Sociology homework? (No links required)

    1. No 3. No 4. No (if religious then yes, but morals are not solely a product of religion) 5. No (religion should not be 'taught' so to speak, it should be accepted and adopted by that person. Teaching children ABOUT religion to promote tolerance and respect for other cultures is fine...

    Guys , do you enjoy going shopping with your girlfriend/wife/significant other.

    As a girl, I wouldn't take a boyfriend shopping unless he really wanted to. Honestly, I don't particularly enjoy shopping anyway so wouldn't drag someone else around, but if I did enjoy it, well...surely that's what my female friends are for? I'm all for doing things together as a couple but...

    You vs Your Avatar.

    Intellect: Yeah, Bayonetta is way smarter than me, and has at least 500 years (more if she was born a long time before she was locked away) worth of knowledge and experience on me. Result: I lose. Skill: Depends what skill. If we're talking firearms shooting, sword fighting, ice skating...

    Zombies are attacking your town/city and you and three game characters have to stop them

    It's gotta be: She's nigh on immortal, agile and has tremendous strength, all of which would be useful in taking down large quantities of enemies at a time. She's a beautiful shot with firearms and the grace with which she slices through flesh is hypnotic. Plus she cracks me up and we have...

    Realism, Except for women or Are there any real girls in video games.

    There definitely aren't many. I'd say: Elena Fisher (Uncharted series): She's relatively real, she has normal proportions, she has fear, excitement and anxiety and, whilst it could be argued that she's portrayed as being relatively perfect, she still has very human flaws and traits. She runs...

    Games you played and are likely to remember in 10 years from now.

    Interesting topic! This made me really think about games that have had an impact on me. The only games that I'll remember will be those that have affected me and my life in some way, I would imagine. I'd say that there aren't many I'll remember in a year's time, let alone ten, but the ones I...

    Best game you have played this year?

    I'm ashamed to admit that I only just got my grubby little mitts on Uncharted 2: Among Thieves at the start of the year (not sure when it came out?) and it is easily one of the best games I've EVER played, not just during 2011. The cut scenes are beautifully done, the voice acting is superb...

    Ok, the main character of the last game you played attacked you... How screwed are you?

    Well, Alice IS only little, but she has some violent tendencies and some frightening mental issues sooooo...considering how easily she can take down a huge car-Ruin I'd say, on a scale of 1-screwed, my chances of dying rate at 11. I hope she uses her horsey hammer, on the third upgrade. That...

    You have just been married...

    I married Alice from Return to Madness. She seems like a nice enough girl, her sarcasm reminds me of me, but I think married life could be a bit of a struggle for a while seen as how she has a lot of issues she needs to work through. Believing herself to be at fault for the death of her family...

    Poll: What swear offends you the most?

    I don't get offended by swears much, but the C word (yes..'communism') is the only word I personally cannot utter. No idea why, it's just a word. Maybe it's just so short, blunt and harsh. But yes, I flinch if people say it, but couldn't even begin to fathom why. I don't like swears in...

    Have you ever had a "man-crush"?

    I think it's 'cos men are meant to be strong, powerful and composed at all times, but being gay or saying something that is construed as gay is a sign of weakness. Women, due to our history, are pretty much expected to be the weaker sex, thus it doesn't compromise their position if they admit...

    You, yourself and your avatar

    I don't think Bayonetta likes to sit around doing nothing for long, so we'd probably end up practising our Angel killing skills, if we're not already surrounded by them. She also seems like she's probably very gifted on several musical instruments (piano, guitar and the like) and very educated...

    societal conventions you hate

    Not all women are Feminists, and not all Feminists are women. There's a big difference. Politeness is what it comes down to. Men hold doors open for me, I hold doors open for men. I think you all seem to have a skewed vision of Feminism...it's more about liberation from social oppression...

    'Slut' Parade

    They shouldn't have to listen to 'advice about avoiding rape', people shouldn't be raping in the first place! I'm not the kind of person who can have sex with lots of people (I'm a one willy at a time, kinda gal), but people who do shouldn't be judged for it. Whether you disagree on religious...

    Poll: Eating Grapes at the Market: Sampling or Stealing?

    Well...would you take an apple and 'sample' it? Or would you take a pint of milk to 'sample'? Nah, TECHNICALLY it's stealing (you are taking something which does not belong to you, without permission or paying for it), but I don't think the supermarkets care THAT much. People only say it's...
