No repercussions other than having to live with a fetus in her womb for nine months, deliver the baby and incur any medical costs related to same, plus financially and emotionally support the child for 18+ years compared to the guy having - at minimum - financially supporting the child for 18-21 years. Seems an unusually broad (pun not intended) definition of "no repercussions". Both parties get screwed, in several respects, in this scenario. That said, you'd have a hard time proving intent in a case like this without the "condom buster" more or less admitting to it (or the busted-on-party creepily keeping each used condom 'just in case'). Ok, then no legal repercussions. Plus, you bring an interesting point of whether that parent is fit since it only used her child as a way to get money and had no notion of what the consequences would be. The only reason that child is better off with a neglecting parent is that the system is so ****ed up that it seems like a better alternative.

So they're going to lock up gay people on a single sex institution for years and hope that they reform?

Apparently it is still being tested and there some risk involved. Vasectomy seems safer.

The legal system on the US is very open to interpretation by judges, a lot of cases have been decided by judicial bias. So legislation should be put in order to prevent this, as we cannot stop judges from being biased in certain matters, we can limit the extent of what they can affect. Plus; this not enforced abortion privileges, it a legal abortion by which a father can deny his child if he doesn't wish him/her. Just curious - why do you think child support payments should be eliminated? Although ~95 percent of alimony recipients are female, only 15% of US divorces involve alimony. Monthly child support payments in the United States averaged $430 per month in 2010, according to U.S. Census Bureau statistics. I believe that the UK, New Zealand, Australia and several other countries use a very rigid 20% of income calculation while it varies considerably in the US from state to state. (I'm not going to spend tons of time digging down on this one so if anyone wants to chime in, feel free) 79.6 percent of custodial mothers receive child support award, while only 29.6 percent of custodial fathers receive a support award. 46.9 percent of non-custodial mothers totally default on support, while only 26.9 percent of non-custodial fathers totally default on support. The high rate of divorce initiation is not limited to the US. Approximately 2/3 (give or take a handful of % pts) of all divorces in Canada, UK, France and Japan are also initiated by women. I didn't check all of Western Europe but I wouldn't be surprised if divorce initiation favored females in the rest of the countries as well. It should be voluntary or after having consented to the birth of the child, because then they are responsible for bringing it to the world. Forcing a father to pay support to a child they don't want is similar to having them be fined. The assumption here that they committed wrongdoing by taking part on the conception, but it takes two to do the deed. I don't see why is only one party that has to assume responsibility. Thanks for the facts, I was only privy to the ones about the US. Neither does abstinence, that is the first thing that they teach in Christianity.

We have found Oby!

If he changes his mind later he can apply for visitation rights. Sadly this kind of legislation is necessary to prevent women who are cheating the system by willfully becoming pregnant without consent from her partner. (I actually know a girl who did that) Considering that in family court matters women seem to have the advantage, I don't see anything wrong with leveling the field. On the same spirit of that legislation I think they should eliminate forcing child support payments and alimony. Courts have made divorce lucrative for women (and for themselves) at any given down point in a marriage a woman has the option to opt out with benefits. So it's no wonder that most divorces on the US are initiated by women.

Yes, it is in development already since a long time and started out on moddb: http://www.moddb.com/games/kenshi It doesn't look bad to me, but I am following it since years and it feels to me as if their progress is really slow. Well people need something else to wait on while they wait for Overgrowth to be completed.

Anyone else thinks its sad that a comedian ask better questions than most game journalists? Even though he seemed to have hijacked the show (though I don't see what Geoff would had brought) he still asked a few serious questions and wasn't afraid to put developers on the spot. Which is something that game journalism has lacked since its inception.

But think of the fun we'd have repopulating the Chinese race.

You assume that the fighting will be done by just China and the US, for the US to enact a nuclear option so close to Russia it might be the straw that breaks relations. Any type of conflict on that area might end up drawing Russia in. Which of course changes the entire theater. But, I don't believe (I hope) that it won't come to nukes.

There is the third and most likely option: Everyone loses. A war with China will likely end up at a draw where the US is unable to occupy the ground and China cannot control their airspace and sea. Which may lead to the diplomatic table soon, although if past World Wars are to be believed human stupidity will take over and try to honor the dead by piling more dead upon them. But if we had better politicians we wouldn't be at war in the first place, so I expect a cluster**** of epic proportion and they will likely bring back drafting if they want to occupy ground. Likely to turn into the rape of Naking part 2.

This is just a test post Edit: Ok it worked

You may have to settle for heart trouble or prostate cancer, you should definitively have some other options planned though. I hear wrestling with sharks is a good way to go.

This has already happened. Why do you think the Chinese had such a vested interest in the recovery of the USA economy? End of the day the Chinese are an export driven economy, if large countries like the USA can't buy there goods they are in big trouble Look the sooner we realize that the economic collapse will inevitably lead to WWIII, the sooner we can build our own bunkers. End of the day if there isn't a massive change in the US the next economic down might be the one to kill us all. Plus with the political climate (rampant corruption) as it is, there will be no reforms that lead us out of this recession. OTOH by the time this happens China might have found another customer on one of the emerging economies, which might end up balancing the equation. Either way, interesting times ahead.

It is hard to say if a person's life will be remembered through posterity, with Mandela there are no doubts in my mind that he will be a part of history.

Let's not assume malfeasance immediately. Maybe the ask for proof of testing, or have their own test groups double check it. The problem is that this is voluntary, so it will only work if enough publisher/developers sign on or enough consumers know about it.

Has she said anything about preparing physically for the role?

Tai chi, maybe? Good for circulation and breathing.

Chances are they will end up integrating Open source into Steam OS, but I agree with most points on Gaben's vision. I prefer competition and multiple choices rather than a monopolized industry.

I guess they've worked out most bugs by now, but the bad dungeon design is irreparable.

I'm guessing that's exactly the kind of arrogance that leads others to react with hostility ("looking down on it", as you put it). It like teeth brushing, no one is forcing you to brush your teeth, but neglecting it soon become noticeable, unhealthy and generally doesn't feels good to you or your surrounding, it also takes a lot of effort to "fix" the effects. What so arrogant about pointing this out? What piss me off is the guys who don't brush their teeth making the situation uncomfortable to others, and on a road to costly dental plan, but claims that "he is ok with that", that people who suggest that brushing teeth is normal basic thing for every human being are some product of "modern" bla bla enter excuse here... well this analogy got a little out of hand but you get the point.. Brushing your teeth is necessary to maintain health, but most people are turned off by a muscular roided giant screaming in your face that you should floss.

How about banning the guy who ruined the beautiful women thread?

Do it cold-turkey style and you're not going to miss it after only a couple of weeks. I remember when I quit soft drinks, It was pretty awful and pure water made me feel sick in my stomach, but now I feel so much better, especially my teeth. Also my headaches went away and I don't have odd fatigue attacks anymore. The body doesn't need all that blasted sugar. Who would have guessed... On the other hand you could do it gradually, like a patch. Cut down the number of sodas per day you drink, try to replace them with healthier alternatives and see how your body responds. Also, stop buying sodas.

That's Oby, he is the resident troll. We have a tradition of Russian nationalist trolls here on these forums, Oby is a poor follow up to a greater one. RIP LoF.

Don't, my new rig stuck me with windows 8.1 and i'm not liking it one bit. Definitely for touchscreen.
