  1. He thinks communism made mistakes?!
  2. But just in case I'm going to cherish all of your posts as if they were your last
  3. Yeah it may be funny, but in my case is the self-conscious kind of funny. Where in the back of my mind i'm going: "this is really sad". @Kirottu: Dolls make anything funny.
  4. It's definitely fun, I'll say that! Any movie that has inspired over a 100 sequels is automatically cinema gold.
  5. Basically websites will be block for alleged copyright infringement families will be disconnected from the internet if accused of sharing copyrighted files and have to pay for an appeal out of their own pocket. Here is all the details: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/digital-economy-bill
  6. Besides LoF, who else here is a Stalinist?
  7. Actually you can get to play on an emulator. Just look for PCSX2 download, look for the game download and enjoy. I'm already playing Way of the Samurai 2.
  8. I know that humor is a coping mechanism and that nothing is too sacred for comedy. But somethings aren't funny, terrorism amongst them. Like the crow with the bomb though.
  9. True, but they are the best with this technology. I just don't wouldn't like to buy an Ipod, Iphone or Ipad that comes with strings attached.
  10. Awesome movie!
  11. They're Swedes, what are they going to do? Be neutral and clean us to death
  12. Because they are qualified as anyone else they shouldn't meddle. They are not aggressive with their whole morality but like in this case there are often conflicts within ethics. A person fighting for the high moral ground has no power whatsoever, but when a company does it the consumer is summited to their moral reasoning within every product they buy or own. My concern is that this censorship will go beyond pornography and into other, more important subjects. I mean, even search engines are biased why not Apple?
  13. http://www.newsweek.com/id/236096 Will attempt to respond more fully later. I had not looked at it in those terms [priests abuse at the same rate as the population as a whole]. I'd be hypocritical if I did, since I've argued many times that incidents of violent abuse in the Army are not higher than those in the general population. So, I concede the point. However, this is not just about incidents of abuse, it is about the way the Church has handled abusers. Specifically it has concealed their crimes both actively and passively, to a degree which suggests an institutional policy. That is, in the technical vernacular, totally ****ing mental. It's what everyone does, though. Basically, everyone reasons that concealment and denial is the best policy until they get caught. There was a paedophilia case here in Portugal involving a charity organization where it was basically the same deal. Only over 20 years after the fact did the victims come forward. Although, in the case you present it may have been because the victims were ashamed to come forward. Did they were prosecuted? Where there allegations during the years before the declaration?
  14. But morality isn't cut clear on most things, which is why people argue for porn since they don't see it as immoral. There is a wide array of what most normal people would call moral and not one view is more valid than the other. They have a right to control their product yes, but not to impose their morality on the world. So the whole "morality police" aspect of the declaration is what bothers me. First of all they are not a qualified entity to decide what should and should not be censored; present case excluded since it was pornographic material. If this is a progressive symptom of a moral clean up, then I think I may buy an Android. They should just release the Imoral and focus on their next product.
  15. You know, I don't like censorship because I lived in a dictatorship where ideology was kept under constant watch and dissents was close to social death or literal. So i'm a little biased on the subject, but now that you bring up: Why is that censorship is bad? I mean there are things that should be censored. In one sentence I believe that they have a right to control what goes through the app store and they have a vision of what they want the Iphone to be, but to go as far as "making a moral stance". What people do or don't is none of Apple's business and they should focus on their actual business.
  16. I agree with you, that is part of what creates the unique environment that sets the Witcher's storytelling apart from all the "Hollywood-esque" games that play to stereotypes and known formulas. But there are moments when the story demands some emotion, E.G: romancing Trish/Shani. Even the dialog choices that actually do emotion; like laughter, sound the same as every other word that comes out Geralt's mouth. Is like hearing HAL go through the script. They don't need to go overboard and do a tearjerker moment, just do the emotions as they fit the situation.
  17. Ok, all joking and playing the Devil's Advocate aside. I think that they main reason for the defense of porn is because most of us are against censorship (I hope that's the main reason, if is not I won't ask) What Apple is doing is their perspective on things, they don't want porn on the Iphone. Maybe they don't have a right to censor Internet content; in this case pornographic. But they can regulate the apps sold at their store and if they don't want to carry adult content that's their choice. As for them being so poignant as to act as a "morality police" I could see that as them growing mad with power. The questions here are, will they lose clients because of this? and if so, will they reform their views?
  18. There is always someone like that, loud, annoying and has no common sense. Are you kidding?! I live on the States, half the country are Puritans and the other half are sinners. But the only half that causes outcries is the Puritan, so I already have public support and media coverage. @Hurlshot: Moron's can't use laptops and DVD players. Plus, he would had to plan watching the porn beforehand. With a DVD player he needs the DVD (duh) and the Wifi in most public places sucks. @Walsh: I truly envy you Brits. You are allowed to watch boobs on the newspaper, but I gotta ask: how are the women?
  19. Ohhh, but what about pedophiles and raptophiles? Don't they deserve to enjoy their porn too? Even Google comes with filters and avoids most porn sites unless you specifically ask for them. A person could completely avoid them and live in bliss, but go out to the street and see some teenager jerk watching boobies on his Iphone. Should the sensibilities of those who are not interested or are repulsed by porn be transgressed just so people can watch porn in places they shouldn't be watching porn? Moreover that would be public indecency and a legal suit in the making. So yeah, I dare anyone to watch porn in front of me. I'll sue the floor from under you and use the money to enact whatever you were watching. I mean whatever
  20. Why? Nothing personal, I just don't think somethings are worth defending. Btw people, what kind of porn are you defending? Playboy centerfold, look at those knockers porn. Or tranny gags and ties a donkey and sodomizes it porn?
  21. Just wait until you get to the medium levels on Red Faction Guerrilla, you will pull your hair out.
  22. Sweden would be a great place, a paradise on earth, the utopia, Shangri La, the closest to Eden. If it weren't for the Swedish
  23. So does Liara, or Kaidan for that matter. True, but at least Liara is kind enough warn you. Don't know about Kaiden.
  24. Actually I have the EE. I haven't given the Polish a try but the rest of the VO sound the same, emotionless.
  25. You forgot that if you say hi to Ashley she automatically falls in love with you.
