Look, nobody's going to mistake Kluwe for Guy, Lechler, or even Scifres. I'm not saying that.

This is where the "it doesn't matter what your beliefs are" part of my comment comes into play. No matter how you personally feel about graves, their symbolism, importance, or meaning, they mean things to other people and it's disrespectful to mar them. The very definition of desecration is "the disrespectful or…

You seem like a nice person, so I thought I'd save you ninety-eight seconds: Nope, sound changes nothing.

I watched it with no sound. Looks like it should be called "Horror Trope: The Movie." I'll check it out when not at work to see if the audio changes that opinion.

compassionate corporations:

Because one is a personal choice by an individual to express herself in such a way as a satirical approach to the objectification of women (in terms of slutwalks).

I'm a woman, I like being domestic and shaping life. Don't we all love that mason-jar-n'-pinterest shit?

I guess that it's that they're wanting to collect information that I'm not directy volunteering them. I mean, for example, I go to Google. I search for things on Google. I use Google for email. I recognize that Google is keeping tabs on what I'm searching for and doing and likes to target ads to me based on those…

Saw a bunch of 9-14 year old kids running out with their copies of GTA5 at the midnight launch this week, with their parents walking beside them, definitely a weird thing to see, but it doesn't surprise me these days, with a lot of parents being as detached from their kids and what their kids are doing these days.

I…

To be fair, I have never once felt Halo CE even remotely warranted an M rating. Halo's always been the definitive "soft M". GTA on the other hand...

Though I've always felt these kind of things should be taken on a case by case basis. There's plenty of kids, even young ones, mature enough to play M rated games. And…

There IS a difference in the violence between Halo and GTA. Jason makes a good point up top about how the kid is probably emotionally unstable but excitement can do that. We know the bottom line is it's probably best for kids to stay away from violent video games but it's quite the pickle.

I played my first M game (Halo) at the age of 13...after writing a multi-page argumentative essay about why I should be considered mature enough to handle that particular game. I think my parents had enough cause to believe I was mature enough to handle it. I can tell you I didn't, and shouldn't have, played grand…

I'm going to pull out Godwin's Law here and ask if you can respect the men who dedicated their lives to ending Nazism, even if it meant ending the lives of German soldiers.

I'm not judging you for happily not giving a shit, and you're entirely missing the point of what I'm saying. There is an enormous, fundamental difference between not caring about something and actively trying to avoid learning about it, and that's the distinction I'm making. Different things matter to different…
