For those of you who might want to still play the game, I believe the web version is still available here.

I think that’s a very wise thing to do. “Privilege” puts people on the defensive and, due to all the discussion on every side of the issue, it tends to come across as an accusation by the affronted party.

Case in point, I was accused of having gender privilege after having a debate with friends about labeling…

Your story reflects my college experience.  Not enough stars for you!

She apparently did not read that the British Empire (may I say “the original wypipo”?) attempted to outlaw slavery in 1807 (at least in the Colonies), a full 58 years before Americans. Though if you want to get technical about it, it was officially ended in 1833. Americans were late to the party. 

Consumers organizing and giving feedback is one thing, but giving feedback as a mob shouting expletives in every other sentence and being general fucking assholes is another. If you’re giving feedback constructively and diplomatically, that’s fine— but make no mistake, in this regard we’re talking about gamers who act…

A more realistic question would be what parts of China have you actually been to? I’ve been to Beijing, Baoding, Shanghai and a smattering of other locales, and everywhere I went (other than Shanghai) solar panels were *everywhere*. This was about a decade ago when I was studying in China on a language exchange…

I get what you’re saying, but doing so the way you posted isn’t going to win over anyone on their side of the fence. In any argument, discussion or debate, insulting the other party does more to build up a wall than build a bridge.

I would have phrased it like this:
“Look, I understand that you believe your ‘chivalry’…

For a GoT inspired meal, I expect greasy capon chicken served with a stew set in a bread trough that I can tear pieces of to dip in the leftovers. Someone hasn’t been reading the actual books behind said menu, which I find very disappointing.

Nice list! Saw many of my favorites there, with the exception of one.   Does this count?

I can agree with the zealotry of the mullahs in the east, but you should recognize that not all Muslims follow the same leaders, just as not all Christians follow theirs.

There are peaceful followers of Islam; some are friends who are adjusting just fine in America.

The problem are folks who group them all into one…

1856 is hardly “several hundred” years.

Also, a considerable number of religious conservatives today in the deep south still believe that slavery was a boon to African Americans.

It’s not in my interest to dissuade you from religion, if that’s a component of your psyche. However, trying to say that one religion is…

“Grew up”? Hardly. The Bible is still the same, its followers continue to translate and reinterpret its passages however they like, and it still leads to bigoted senses of righteousness.

An excerpt on Slavery from Robert E. Lee to his wife below. 

Ghostbusters, to my mind, wasn’t supposed to be *that* funny. It was meant to be part horror film rolled into funny. The part where Wilson and Ray are in the ghostmobile, talking about the End Times, for example, offered a really chilling moment in an otherwise funny movie. Genuinely spooky moments mixed in with the…

For Magicians, I don’t think you’ll necessarily be spoiled if you read the books. The TV series, in my opinion, diverges greatly from the books and has pretty much covered most of the arcs (especially what seems to be the Big Bad in the next season). That said, I am thoroughly enjoying what’s occurring on the show;…

Another hint:

I’ll give you a hint, by the way:

It’s fairer to ask yourself “How many muslims practice what you’re accusing them of?”  You’re lumping everyone of that faith in the same boat.  If I’m wrong, then you’re wrong in trying to state the equivalent “How many Christians currently practice that?”  Oh, so suddenly I can’t lump the Christians murdering…

Sure, let’s look at that. Though instead of the last 100 years, it’s fairer to look at the last five hundred.

I know of a crapton of Catholic priests getting away with having their way with little kids and getting away with it— does that count?

For the record-- I’m not religious, so don’t think I’m playing favorites here.  But you’re not making a very good point.  You’re choosing to make an example of religious extremists in…

Not at first. But wow, now that I see it, (as foolio already mentioned) I can’t unsee it!
