I wish more games had snow. Instead we just get those boring jungles and tropical forests... or robot factories.

Wow. This is seriously one of the most inspirational video games I have ever seen. The older generation saw an opportunity to reach out to the younger generation through a video game and teach them about their culture at the same time as letting them express themselves through playing games. Most older generations

On one hand I agree with you about being tired of generational guilt, an entire society or their descendents being blamed for the actions of individuals, but on the other hand you are completely wrong about them being 'kinda right'. Other countries did the same thing, so criticism against them is dismissed? I guess

As long as they are actual old newspaper headlines I'm struggling to be outraged by this.

No she isn't. She said you shouldn't physically abuse people who are stronger than you and expect them to sit and take it.

Well, who says he beat her? He is a pretty strong guy, he could have knocked her out with a slap in the face.

I'm confused- did she hit him at all? Did he just attack her? Everyone seems to be making different claims about what happened. I know the charges against her were dropped and the charges against him were upgraded.

Sarang's parents weren't able to support their real child. But their devotion to Prius suggested that the concept of genuinely successful parenting wasn't foreign to them, either. So why did the couple fail in their real-world responsibilities when they were enthralled by like-minded virtual ones?

I'm not getting a pre-nup, but other people can do whatever they want.

"perform cesarean surgery on her "with or without [her] consent" if she came to the hospital."

Eh? I'm sure if a tow truck owner went out of their way to illegally obtain the cars of straight people, old people, dog owners, it would also make the news. Anyone deliberately targeting a specific group of people as part of their crime spree gets media attention.

Bullshit. As someone who you would look at and say "Oh she's white" and be WRONG, what color child would I be allowed to have? Huh? Race has too many nuances to make these kind of blanket assumptions.

Ideally, yes. But whether or not someone is part of a culture is as much about their upbringing as it is about whether or not the other members accept them. Every black kid raised by white families has a point where they find out, generally in a not-so-nice way, that they are fundamentally different from their parents

What I find most creepy is the assumption that ethnicity and culture are fundamentally linked. This is, to be blunt, utter nonsense. You are a member of the culture of the people who raise you, period.

Speaking as a mixed race individual myself, I can say that there definitely are issues that a mixed race child faces growing up and that being raised by parents who have some personal understanding of racial issues is extremely important. White parents with a child of color often can't even see the racism that their

Children whose ethnicity is different than their parents will "have a different life experience" ...

I have mixed feelings about the soup kitchen thing. I don't know how much they make you listen — whether it's just a quick prayer before the meal, or whether they actually want to have a conversation with you about Jesus. (I'd be more okay with the first than the second.) But then again, PETA can't stand in people's

Yeah, and those people can choose not to participate. Or they lie to peta. What is so offensive about it?

I don't see the problem. If I couldn't pay my water bill I'd happily take their offer. Who doesn't like it can just skip or even lie to them.
