This is a bit off topic, but you're being a little too paranoid and angry. I've recently been very sick, and my university and my parents' jobs (they've both taken time off to help me) have been very understanding. Pills often do cure a disease (antibiotics and corticosteroids will cure...

The original post doesn't mention whether it is the older or younger sibling who is a boy, it could be either. I must admit I'm confused about variable probability, it is less likely to have two boys than a boy and a girl, but knowing the gender of one does not change the chances of the the...

This doesn't add anything to the conversation really, but I thought I'd point out that Banjo debuted in a racing game: Diddy Kong Racing (Also Conker's first appearance).

Perhaps I don't understand new Atheism, or our definitions of religion are different, but I hold by my position that valuing human life based on nothing more than faith (ie religion). You here say you value human life because it can feel happiness like you, thus you feel sympathy for it. This...

I certainly am not denying that. But you haven't made a point here... you've just told me that the human is alive and the rock isn't. What if I like things that aren't alive better? Then I should prefer the rock due to scientific evidence. However, it would only be whim or belief that decides my...

I just would like to point out that a human life itself has no particular secular value. What makes a human life so much more valuable from a secular perspective than, say, a rock? Now you might appeal to a human's sentience, but that has nothing except a religious value of consciousness. Can...

I've never noticed any of the problems you mentioned with Smash Bros. Actually I've probably had more fun with the Smash Bros series than any other game in a while. But then again, I never tried counting frames and perfecting stringing together combos like my friends to reduce down time. Maybe...

You're talking about the movie tie-in game right? Cause this Jumper (http://www.pcgaming.ws/viewgame.php?game=jumper_redux) is awesome. Since this is an opinion thread I'm not going to say anyone is wrong, but I'm interested in what reasons Assassin Xaero has for saying Starcraft fails and...

Sorry in advance for the wall of text. Alcohol can make you happy for a short while, but only if you're already happy before drinking, if you're depressed it can make you feel a LOT worse ( I speak from personal experience ). Marijuana doesn't make you happy, but it makes things tolerable for...

I just thought I'd present an argument about video games and violence. I suppose there are some studies that show that violent video games increase aggression, but I believe that there are cathartic effects to playing games as well. After all why really kill people when you can commit as much...
