"Where does one obtain a woman-prism? I keep trying to read polling data with my vagina, and I'm at a loss. Anyone?"

" But while the nation remains so divided, he believes that the right next step is for the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade – a case of blatant judicial activism that took a decision that should be left to the people and placed it in the hands of unelected judges."

"As American religion is in full churn, experts often debate whether the country will go the way of Europe, with a more institutionalized secularism."

This. Cyclops wasn't a jerk, he was the leader of a people that, thanks DIRECTLY to an Avenger going insane, was reduced to an endangered species that wasn't protected before or after. Marvel history has the Avengers sitting around with their thumb up their collective ass during the slaughter on Genosha, the bombing…

Because if it was on the disk, it was ready to go when the game was first sold. In the past, DLC was paid for as a way to compensate dev teams for additional effort BEYOND making the game. Now, on-disk DLC means that game developers are being paid the same amount of money for less work by them and less content for…

My logic is that if you're correct (and I think you are) that American politics have largely become driven by money buying votes through advertising, it is an INSANELY poor decision to think that the best approach is to try and fight only in the arena where your opponents have the largest amounts of money, influence,…

Assuming that you consider Libertarian a better choice on policy (which I don't, because most Libertarians operate on economic theories that only work in Happy Fantasy Land, and don't understand that "let states decide" means "let states outlaw basic rights"), isn't the fact that Libertarians (or [other third party…

Hey, I don't like it any more than you do, but when Ryan tapdances away from his previous love of Ayn Rand "because it's an atheist philosophy", and the President's been under fire for being a 'secret' Muslim for years, it's pretty clear that at the least, Romney's not losing points with many people for dismissing…

Not being comfortable with video game killing is going to alienate you from a LOT of people, many of whom you probably know. WoW boasted a 12 million user peak, Sony's sold 64 million PS3s, Microsoft's sold 67 million XBox 360s... There are quite a few gamers out there. One can safely assume that violent video games…

First - "letting the states decide" is a dog whistle for outlawing abortion state by state. No state, left to its own devices, moves towards more freely accessible abortions. Bodily autonomy is a fundamental right - you can't overturn Roe v. Wade and subsequent decisions without declaring that a lie, and that's very…

Because the Republicans are fine with that proposition, and Democrats don't want to address it and open themselves up to be painted (further) as godless atheists.

Yeah, my friend (who habitually refuses to vote) linked that to me as a justification for sitting this election out. The problem with that article is twofold. First, third parties won't win. And for all the "of course they won't if you don't vote for them" rhetoric, THEY know they won't win. I refuse to believe…

The short answer? No. The Supreme Court ruled that because sex-offender registry laws are civil laws and not "punishment", they don't violate the Constitution's ex post facto clause (no increasing punishments after crime was committed). They've also ruled that such laws satisfy procedural due process, but didn't…

Thieves DO believe they won't get caught. It's why criminal justice classes teach that using the law (and death penalty) as a deterrent has only a limited effect, because most people who commit crimes specifically believe they won't be caught, or are doing it to survive, and thus can't afford to care about…

Yes, Volc correctly identified the joke. =p

"First, Honey, I'm already more famous than you, I don't need your help."

Though, in fairness, carrot cake is delicious. In all senses of the concept.

Who the hell eats a carrot and donut together? Both of his "wrong" combinations are much tastier.

Saying "you're stupid for not liking this" is usually not a persuasive argument for most people. People are capable of intelligently analyzing D3 and deciding that it is, in fact, not a good game. Their opinion may be subjective, but it is entirely possible to come to that conclusion rationally and logically. For…

"As Nintendo seems to have realized, the Wii U will not live or die based on whether it gets the newest Call of Duty. The Wii U won't need to play Assassin's Creed 5 or Final Fantasy 17. To appeal to everyone, from hardcore Nintendo fans to families that like to play the occasional video game in their living room, the…
