Complaining that Internet ads don't work should be grounds for summary sterilization.

I think finding one simple enough for this particular 11-year-old to use would be very difficult.

Ghost is a first-person [third-person? I forget/don't care] shooter. A non-PC shooter.
Three problems right there:
a. Blizzard doesn't do shooters.
b. Blizzard doesn't do consoles.
c. There are too many shooters already. There is just no damn room for innovation in the genre.

Overall, I don't approve, but for a different reason than most ranting SC fanboys.

re. Djur: You think you have it bad at 6'2"? I'm pretty sure by the time you're considered an adult, you'll be around average. Being taller than 6'8" is just a chore. :P

I can't believe in an active God. Stalinism and Naziism and all sorts of assorted goodies of that kind wouldn't have come to be had there been an active God.

You were raised by Easter/Christmas Catholics and grew up to become an Easter/Christmas atheist.

Do I receive the blender offer too, oh thoughtful one? :mad:

I'm pretty sure the message there condemns hubris, anyway.

Your ignorance astounds me. I never said "no morals"; I believe in a moral code. I only said I didn't plan on raising them believing in God, as there is no difference between things of faith and things of fact at a young enough age.

Please find me one Biblical reference to homosexuality which isn't a parable, a law for the Levites [the Levites are also disallowed from eating shellfish or wearing clothing of more than one fabric; sucks to be them], or the personal opinion of one of the Apostles, and I'll believe your opinion is justified.

And if you tell me that it doesn't have to be in your version of the bible what was shoddily translated in the 16th century by the henchmen of a monarch with political objectives to be the will of God, I'll tell you that that kind of nonsense lead to the Crusades [which you apparently support even in hindsight!], the Reconquista, the Inquisition...

{PS: If God didn't intend for it to happen, why did he create us both capable of doing it and capable of deriving pleasure from it? The prostate gland has no other reason to be a sexual response center.}

The conscious is a very malleable thing. The subconscious is not. The vast majority of gays "converted" by one program or another either were bisexual to begin with or uniformly suffer various forms of psychological damage.
It's only natural, after all -- what would happen to you if some outside or inside force made you consider being attracted to women in any way "evil"? Imagine feeling like the world hated you every time you were to think any kind of fond thought about a person of the opposite sex, David, and you will know how horrifically cruel "converting" gay persons is.

Also, whether it's expedient in hindsight or not, you WERE comparing homosexuality to being physically handicapped. We'd have more respect for you if you apologized for your nonsense than we do from you gagging and attempting in futility to backpedal.

I have very varied tastes. I like a group because I like their music, not because I like their statement about originality or what they stand for. Who the hell cares if they have quotas to make, Rosycat? Artists want to be artists, and the better ones aren't being cheapened any by record labels.

You hear bleeped lyrics on TV and on the radio. You don't hear them on albums.

As for synthesized music, a lot of artists don't do that anyway, and others do it in a way that enhances rather than detracts from traditional sound from the same source.

And I bet if I were to take a poll, 90% would say they hated rap and country, and they'd do so mostly based on a couple of mediocre songs.

Yeah. The last time people took war this lightly, it was German society doing it, and it started both world wars.

I'm glad to see that your lack of respect for human life before that for a nation's aims has driven you to see any attack on people's attitudes about war as an attack on America, though. Good for you.

Einstein was religious, but not belonging to any organized religion or even necessarily believing in God. It's a common legend that he was.
