You guys have to understand, Stossel is a libertarian and frequently goes against the generally accepted neo-con grain of the Fox news channel. If there's logic that needs interjecting in an argument, Stossel will be the one doing it. He was there to support equal rights in marriage, and to report on the fiscal waste…

She's black? She doesn't look it... I thought she was a random "video game" mixed-race female protagonist, the type you can't quite put your finger on (which you shouldn't be able to, and is the way I like it). I have never said this before, but this is a genuine "non-issue" Kotaku article. Why is this relevant and…

Once again Jesus, I think you're probably right. There's absolutely no way she sat through that whole presentation and thought that what Microsoft brought to the table was acceptable. I can't even imagine.

I, personally, have never gotten the impression that Kotaku's use of the word "west" has ever meant to be synonymous with the United States. But regardless of whether or not Kotaku meant the "west" as being the US, the silly supersition behind the number thriteen as being bad luck is literally the case with almost…

Is Tiny Tina annoying as hell? Yes, I think so. Was the style of speech chosen for her completely out of place and jarring for the chracter? Yes, I think so. Is it racist? NO. End of discussion.

I am still ardently struggling with your claim that inevitable govermental corruption over time is "easy" to disprove, and baffled as to why you haven't presented evidence to the contrary. It doesn't matter I suppose, because our margins ("tolerence" if you will) for what is and what isn't tyrannical are vastly…

So does the inclusion of GlaDOS's voice in the trailer indicate that it was, in fact, Apeture Science Laboratories that engineered and constructed the jaegers? And, perhaps, that it was actually them who are responsible for the dimensional rift in the Pacific? While conducting experiments... for science?

Oh, god... Please don't group death metal and screamo into one phrase. It does death metal a grave injustice. Two completely different genres. Anyway, the parrots would gouge their eardrums out with a fork after listening to one, and spontaneously windmill with the other, of course.

Short answer, yes. We do. Although i'm not sure if it's "voluntary" if it's without our knowledge or consent. Either have have your nads irradiated or groped, or don't fly at all. Fourth ammendment? What the hell is that?

Minority Report was a really good film... But on the blueprint part, I totally agree.

Would have been pretty brutal, man. I'd contract them to write a song for the final battle with Smaug in the Hobbit. Shit would be killer.

You're on a totally and completely different page than I am. My claim is that governmental structures lead to mass suffering and death. Size does not matter in this factor; it could be small and oppressive or large and oppressive. My argument has to do with the nature of the institution itself. The problem is, then,…

Spoilers ahead...

Centralized, federated governmental structures have facilitated the worst degree of suffering, death, and despotic abuse of power in our species' history, without fail. Never has any nation, including the US, begun with benevolent intentions of an established state "of the governed, for the goverened, by the…

It would most certainly, almost definitely do so after a period of time, if not immediately - due in part to the very nature of centralized governmental structures. Why is that idea so hard to grasp? I don't want to call you a retard back, because that's rude, but I have a feeling your thoughts don't go much deeper…

The author of this opinion piece sounds, to me, like an over-all emotionally fragile indivdual. If he cannot emotionally seperate violent entertainment from real world violence in such a way that it affects him on nearly the same level as a real-world associated event, then there's a very good chance he has some…

Best response I've heard yet. This is not the type of thinking that many people do. Kudos.

Globalism equals total and complete tyranny, not just simply tyranny itself. If you find that you can in no way consent to the policies and actions taken by the state under which you are governed, well... too bad. You decide to speak aloud that you don't want a part of the system? Well, can't you really go anywhere or…

I also suppose it isn't fair to a child to expect them to let go of the idea an all-encompasing, all-providing (stealing) centralized authority with the monopoly on force and coercion either. It's incredibly fallicious and illogical thinking, but as long as you think you're safe and ritgheous, I suppose such a system…

Nine feet tall? That's a space marine height in terminator armor - MAYBE... Your standard space marine is 7 - 7 1/2 feet tall and three feet wide at the chest, and about 8 feet tall in power armor. They're giants, but they're not THAT giant (excepts for the primarchs, of course, who are 12 ft +). And, like you said,…
