2 To be fair Walsie that is just speculation. I have always thought Oby was a Russian male living in Russia. I can only assume that as that is what he says. Until we can see evidence contrary to this or Oby states otherwise I'll continue to think that

"Sigh" Volo its not hard to spend a little time researching the facts when you make comments. I know you know how to use Google Piers Morgan wasn't kicked out the UK, he willingly took the job at CNN to replace Larry King and moved to the USA to live there permanently. His "strong ratings" apply to his current show on CNN and not what he did in the UK as obviously he doesn't work in the UK anymore. I sure you understand how ratings work. If a news presenter has an unpopular talk show he will be dropped. The fact that he still has a active and daily talk show tells us people still support him and CNN continues to allow him to represent them. He's on the edge. His ratings seem to be in significant decline, with him being the lowest rated show in the timeslot in Feb of this year (being beaten by Dr. Drew) and looking at more recent data, he's swaying drunkenly between the 2nd to last and 2nd in his timeslot (with Hannity having a strong first) Can you provide some links to show his bad ratings? If that's the case then CNN needs to remove him. I have no issues with that but lets have this discussion around the facts of his popularity and leave out the emotion and personal perspective.

What you did today
So you rather went to say hi to Oby than me and the other guys? huh? HUH? Yeah Shady that does seem a bit wrong, I would argue that you have more friends on the forum from the Scandinavian countries than Russia? Finland is a Norrrrrdic country, not Scandinavian. You can tell it from our stunted legs as opposed to the vikings. Ask Oby. Actually, all good propaganda is based on truth. I'm 5'11" and wear a "long" uniform jacket and "short" uniform trousers Thanks for the geographical correction I laughed at Oby's absurd assessment of Finns, what did he say "Finland is a small degradated periphery of Finno-Ugric world, historically they live in isolated small communes with too much inbreeding. As result their DNA are broken, genetic diseases everywhere and womens have "specific" Finnish fat and short legged appearance." I was expecting a major rebuttal from you but I suppose you thought " what's the point of trying to explain the facts to the truly ignorant"

The Science of Why We Don't Believe in Science
Lol, I'm not even a firm creationism believer myself, so I guess your smartass psycho-analysis sort of fails. I'm just going ignore the rest, as you haven't made a single argument in your post. So why are you rejecting the article and arguing against it? Please don't tell me that you aren't one of those people who just likes to debate a point that they don't really have a valid opinion about? Would it be possible for you actually post what you mean instead of wasting peoples time when they respond to your comments?

Guys the reality is that CNN is one of the most respected and recognised international news channels in the world. Note for all Americans, there is a difference between CNN that you see within the USA and CNN International. The local US version of CNN isn't nearly as good as the International one. Anyway if Piers Morgan was so unpopular and didn't have a strong fan base he would be dropped. Despite him having a contract I guarantee you his contract is dependent on the ratings of his show. So I stand by what I say that he presents an interesting and newsworthy show that has a strong following

From what I've seen he's effectively the mirror image(Not the opposite, two different concepts) of Blubbering-vagina O'Reilly. And of course BruceVC likes him. Wave the flag of Gun Control and BruceVC immediately becomes your best buddy. You don't need so many guns in the USA Ravenshrike. Gun Control is much needed. Your government is never going to turn its own army against its own citizens. You need to learn to start to hug people more and hug people with sincerity

Romance, Marriage, Pregnancy and having Children.
Set male PC, no homosexual romance. However in the cash in's re-releases they do give a female gender. Really? If it's a JRPG with a focus on dating simulation it has no relevance to P:E. You've also yet to list a game with bioware options made by another company. Glad you admit this about them..... You listed three games, that had an option to just give the NPC's gifts, then a ring. That is not romance, in any sense of the word. It's a joke. The rest were all set male PC's, with no gay or lesbian romance. Bioware is the only company that does this for multiple genders and sexualities. Multiple romances are not common in games, nor do they make said games better or increase sales. People need to stop using these claims to reason why Obs must include them. Both claims are false. Do you have issue with Romance or Romance that provides options outside heterosexual males?

Woah guys what's with all the hatred towards Piers Morgan? I enjoy his show and most of the time he maintains a difficult level of decorum despite interviewing people that can be aggressive and completely intransigent. He also isn't afraid to tackle some of the USA real social issues like Gun Control despite the fact people are almost militant about it and obviously these topics create negative publicity for him from certain sectors, like that absurd petition to get him deported. For me he is someone that is quite prepared to make a stand on topics even though other news reporters stay away from them as there are easier subjects to debate. @ Calax He definitely doesn't hate celebs and has many famous people on his show who come willingly for interviews. But I will say he is a liberal and has a few friends in the far right.

Non-romance dynamics in games
Okay well I also need to give my view on Oblivion Its definitely in my top 15 RPG of all time, I used some cool normal and adult mods. I had a great time exploring the open world, going on dozens of quests and fighting the variety of monsters that I encountered. I also enjoyed the narrative of trying to close various gates.

The Science of Why We Don't Believe in Science
You really need to read article Iucounu, you are demonstrating exactly what the article says that when people that faced with irrefutable facts they rationalize there belief and are incapable of reason, its fascinating to watch as you try to explain your view. I understand this is a defense mechanism as to accept another perspective would undermine everything you believe and what you believe is what defines you But I have heard a new one in this argument and I have to say its a good one. So now we can't ever use science and how we know the world operates in debates around creationism vs evolution because how do we know that some sort of divine power hasn't just recreated science as we know it? Awesome I like it, so in fact how do we know that maybe 2000 years we all lived in some sort of Alice in Wonderland universe where we all had wings and mushrooms could speak? Your rejection of the foundation of how everything works and can be proven is genius and makes for exciting historical debates.

Kids react to interracial Cheerios commercial controversy
Then it might be moving to watch, change one's perspective, force a shift in ideas. Ew. Doesn't bear consideration. To me it doesn't matter if there responses are staged, the message is true and relevant Be careful, young one. That way The Guardian lies. Do you mean the newspaper? I was thinking about what you meant and using Yahoo I realised it was the Guardian that broke the Snowden and Prism scandal and if that's what you meant then you are right, truth and relevance doesn't always apply. As you know I am opposed to what Snowden did. But racism is a social issue and Prism is more about how countries choose to protect themselves. But I do see your point

Romance, Marriage, Pregnancy and having Children.
Romances in games where waaay before first mass efect and other biowereian games (i hope you don't see BG2 as biowere game). BG2 had romances way before ME, but there where many games before that had romances but they where "plot" related not optional, for example Final Fantasy series. But there where many game before that had romances but they where more plot related and not focust on them even in all FF series from 1 to 7 romance was not so imortant to main plot but more for personal character development. Final Fantasy 8 break it and made plot that romance was almost at first place (but plot was still good and more mature). . No one in these threads are asking for a singular romantic interest. They are asking for multiple choice for different genders and sexualities. Yes I think Romance should not just cater for heterosexual males

Business is business. The end goal is to get as much money as possible. ALWAYS. I have to dispute that view. There are still standards and ethics that every business needs to adhere to, it may seem like its all about money but it can't be at the expense of everything else There are standards and laws they must adhere to but the bottom line will always be profit. Yeah, you can't just do anything in the name of profit, but companies will do everything they can within the rules (and bend the rules as far as they can get away with). Those that don't tend not to survive. People like to sound idealistic, the real world doesn't function like that. I hear you and I agree that profit is the ultimate goal and I support that business objective but there is no reason big business can't also follow standards which you are saying so I think we are on the same page. Most of my customers are banks and financial institutions and despite the perception these types of businesses do try very hard to conduct business ethically. I see more malfeasance and unethical behavior in the public sector, but that may be a South African phenomena

If you think that's unprecedented, old boy... Okay so maybe you can give me an example where a person killed someone in broad daylight with witnesses and admitted it and wasn't found guilty? I know people can beat the legal system but not in these types of circumstances
