  1. Wearing a wig and a dress does not make you transgender. edit: Or rather I should say there is much more to it than that. This specific case, where someone is videotaping others in the bathroom, has nothing to do with transgender rights. If he was in the men's room videotaping it would be just as serious a crime.
  2. That looks pretty interesting. Always enjoy a good Forest Whitaker speech.
  3. Everybody is smart. We all have moments or tasks where we excel. No need to overthink it. It would be a pretty boring world if we all had a set level and we couldn't ever raise it, or lower it, I suppose. I know my hockey level has dipped a bit over the years.
  4. I would trust you to ring up my groceries. Most of the grocers in my neck of the woods seem to pay a pretty good wage with benefits. It would seem to be one of the better retail jobs out there, given that I've had the same cashiers at these places for over a decade, they have families, they seem happy to be at work, etc. Being President sounds miserable.
  5. Is Bruce from a family of bankers? That would actually make oodles of sense. He even has a family member in prison for some sort of Wall Street scandal.
  6. http://www.gamespot.com/articles/south-park-stick-of-truth-sells-5-million-sequel-c/1100-6434743/ Ubi paid 3.3 million dollars for the game + whatever expenses they had afterwards and according to that article the game has sold 5 million copies now. I imagine the game was quite profitable for Ubisoft in the end. Man, that article really shows little respect to the work Obsidian did. "This will be better because we made it in house." Bleh.
  7. Hah, that's kind of cool. Not really the romance part, but the fact the soldiers act closer when they've been in the bleep with each other.
  8. Giants lineup looks very solid. Back to back to back homers.
  9. Are you talking about the Constitution being that turning point? There were already half a million African slaves in the US by the time it was drafted, so I do not think we would have necessarily missed out on the tremendous cultural impact that they have had on the country.
  10. That would make sense as the loss, but it is tough to predict what either team will do about resting players.
  11. I still expect it. They looked pretty dang good against Portland, better than they have in a few weeks.
  12. It's a pretty complex question. You'd have to go back a bit further to really stop the exploitation of Africa for the slave trade. If I could stop Portugal from slowly draining the Kongo Kingdom of life, I definitely would. That is probably your point of origin when it comes to the African slave trade. But really you would need to find a way to change the entire momentum of Europe during the Age of Exploration, which would dramatically shift modern history as a whole. They needed cheap labor, cutting off Africa would only force them to go elsewhere.
  13. It was really more of a throwaway "orange is the new black" line, but thanks guys.
  14. So Panama is the new Switzerland?
  15. Not debating that the Constitution is a major step, but lets not forget that it did recognize slavery. As a whole, we are all much better off than we were 200+ years ago.
  16. Last night I played hockey and felt good, but today I've got a terrible sore throat and feel exhausted. I'm hoping it passes quick, I go to Vegas next Sunday.
  17. If they announce it now, they are going to upset people that do not want to buy it on Steam. If they announce it closer to release, they are going to upset the same group of people. What if the situation changes? What do they actually gain by announcing distribution this early?
  18. Of course, Obama and Clinton aren't really fascists that are going to come into your homes, steal your guns, and burn your bibles.
  19. First I'm not talking about adult mods necessarily as not everything sexualized is considered adult content. And second you're wrong, true adult mods are very easy to find. They are all over Nexus which is where all of the normal mods are. Unless Bethesda is creating those mods, your point still makes little sense. Pressuring a community of fans and hobbyists is a waste of time.
  20. I would never accuse Bruce of brevity.
