I don’t even know why voting for a woman because she’s a woman or voting for a black guy just because he’s black is bad.

I’d like them to move a bit past that one-region rule for the next gen. Maybe two or three regions, and the plot can involve the relationships between the regions.

This is a ridiculous argument. “It happened in the past” is a cop out that a million cops use to not prosecute old cases, which is just a bad look for justice. I mean, if I go bang a 13 year old right now, but she totally says yes (in writing), am I in the clear with you? Or do I need to record a few great albums…

Teen still implies an adult should be sleeping with 13 year olds. Still not a great line to draw.

I have to point out that your definition of “biological adulthood” seems to revolve around puberty (not the full maturation of a person, which can take as long as 25). If so, then your argument would say that it’s okay for grown adults to bang 12 year olds (or younger) as long as they’ve hit puberty. That’s not a…

I have to point out that nothing in this comment would prevent someone from having sex with a 10 year old (or even younger). If the argument is just, “I don’t feel like it was wrong.” from the child then it’s a pretty poor argument.

The sex isn’t denied by any parties here. So if it were to go to trial and a jury acquitted, it would just be jury nullification instead of a statement of fact.

My alma mater fired our football HC a few years back with a 3 million dollar buyout. His last record was 2-10. Man, I could get you that record with only a third of the salary! I’ll just recruit with darts and mugshots!

If he always throws with his tongue like that, then he’ll be RG3 again but with a paper tongue instead of glass bones. Just to be safe, they should hook up a shock collar to every time he does it. You know, as a reasonable precaution.

I don’t know if that’s entirely true. Kotor is my favorite game, and if you run a light-side jedi with Master Speed, Master Flurry, and two-handed perks (with one regular lightsaber and one short), you become a god. So many attacks per turn, and virtually no penalty to attack with the perks.

I don’t believe in Hell. I believe people can go whereever they believe exists according to their own belief system. By his own religion, Scalia should be in Hell (unless he’s been doing his Hail Marys).

Screen name is relevant.

I mourn for his children. But Hell gained another asshole today, and we’re all better for it.

In boxing, your weight doesn’t translate linearly to the force behind your hits in the same way as a blocker hitting a charging defender. That equation is governed mostly by mass (and a bit of acceleration in the backfield, but not on the line) while in boxing, it’s both (some people have meatier arms (mass) while the…

I think another solution is a stronger hand from the NFL that limits how long people are playing at different positions. Much like in baseball, where a pitcher is pulled after so many throws (which is mostly due to accuracy, but shoulder safety is part of it as well), the NFL shouldn’t really allow people to play…

That one drives me up the wall. It also completely misses the point that the best PED would be something like PCP during the game, which means you still need constant random drug testing. Might as well try to catch all of it since you’ll always have to (because no one is arguing that PCP should be a valid sports…

But you’re fundamentally ignoring evidence because of your personal anecdote. We switched to helmets and pads because of very grave injuries on the field that needed the protection. Period. There’s no reason whatsoever to suggest that it wouldn’t end up the exact same way if we got rid of the pads.

Graphics and price are the only objective things people can base their purchases on. The X1 is cheaper but runs more poorly. Beyond that, it’s completely subjective as to which games you enjoy and which ones you don’t (or comfortably skip).

See, I’m the opposite. Without a story connecting the games, I’m just wasting my time playing them instead of some other game with good gameplay AND a story that goes somewhere. I haven’t played an AC game since Black Flag, and until the convince that this thing isn’t going full Lost (as opposed to 90% Lost where it’s…
