    Are Churches Making Atheists Bankrupt?

    This could have been posted in the religion section, but I think it may be considered too critical...so I put it here. Taken from wearepeople2.com (follow link for full article): "The church exists as a singular entity within societies, that aren't subject to the limitations from our laws and...

    Is Stop-and-Frisk a Necessary Evil?

    Great quote! As for the poll, did I make a mistake somewhere? I see it at the top of the page.

    Is Stop-and-Frisk a Necessary Evil?

    Stop-and-Frisk is unconstitutional and an excuse to racially profile blacks and latinos in NYC, however through that same policy the police have successfully achieved the greatest gun bust in NYC history. This will certainly be used when Bloomberg and Kelly appeal the recent ruling on this...

    Feminists? In my games? It's more likely than you think.

    I agree with what you're saying. Just simply giving you an indicator that there is progress, especially with LBGT since you seemed interested in the subject. Like you said sexism should always be considered, and I'm saying that it is considered when people view that it's a legitimate problem. I...

    Feminists? In my games? It's more likely than you think.

    Sexism isn't swept under a rug because a "game is good" or "it's not so bad". It's swept under a rug when people don't perceive it to be relevant to the issue. Based on the trope, as you just admitted, it's more or less "bad". Damsel in Distress for example is viewed in a more positive sense...

    Feminists? In my games? It's more likely than you think.

    I'll do you a solid and humor you one last time. You'll notice after that statement I make a distinction right? Specifically I mention Dead or Alive. That game objectifies women, period. Their franchise is centered on it and is weaker as a result. Let's compare this to say Princess Peach from...

    Feminists? In my games? It's more likely than you think.

    In charge? Is anyone? I see a problem and support those who productively tackle the issue. Ignorant? Back to baseless name calling I see. I'd recommend not wasting your or my time any longer with your garbage. You came here with your own agenda, and I have no intention to entertain you any...

    Feminists? In my games? It's more likely than you think.

    It has nothing to do with refusing to consider sociological implications in game review; it's knowing when and how to address such implications. Address the issue as a whole, not in segmented parts that won't get anything done. We could pick apart why DOA is a disgusting game and how it has made...

    Feminists? In my games? It's more likely than you think.

    Is there a reason to question why no women were present at any particular E3 event? There were no women part of the developmental team. That isn't an issue related to gender, that didn't stop some to make it out to be. If they were there and were treated poorly previously and opted out of making...

    Feminists? In my games? It's more likely than you think.

    I've seen these videos before, they're pretty good. I'm hoping that she addresses more tropes in depth later because this one is the most frequently talked about even without her input. I want what she is doing to truly be a discussion that examines this issue from all angles and not just one...

    Feminists? In my games? It's more likely than you think.

    You're right, it is totally acceptable for women to want to see themselves in the games that they play and the industry. The issue is that they want to force the issue at times when it's unnecessary. There is an article by Patricia Hernandez referenced in the link that illustrates this point...

    Persona 3 and persona 4: anyone played these games

    I love the Persona series, in particular 3 and 4. Easily one of my favorite rpgs of all time. You guys should check out P4 Golden if you haven't already; it's amazing.

    Feminists? In my games? It's more likely than you think.

    "My point is that when you’re making commentary about video game or any subject, the objective is to look at that subject as a whole. If one really wants to go down that route rather than make a simple review, then the article needs to be well written with a clear viewpoint or purpose that...

    Is Obesity a disability?

    Right. That's my problem with the whole situation. In of itself it isn't a disability, but those who are medically obese will be wrapped up with those who ate themselves into obesity. I'm wondering if there is some way to draw a line. It doesn't make sense that someone who couldn't "drop a fork"...
