  1. Re:False claims by Wylfing on ESRB Changes Oblivion's Rating to 'Mature' · · Score: 5, Insightful
    If the nudity isn't available in the basic game but needs a third party hack, isn't it false advertising to claim "nudity" on the box? I'd expect a refund if I bought this and found no nudity included.

    You just don't understand the new thinking, is all. See, we need to be "protected" not simply against what things are but also against what things can be made to do. And, frankly, it is the fault of godless monsters like Bethesda for putting tools into people's hands that are capable of creating nude images, and they should be labeled as the pornmongers they are.

    Seriously, it won't be long until game makers lock down code so that modding is impossible. There will never be another Counter-Strike for fear that someone will make a whorehouse map.

    " ...instead of jumping back and forth between left wing /right wing opposits in each election (as we currently do)..."

    As Gore Vidal has observed, the United States is governed by a single party with two right wings. Anything resembling socialism as practiced in Europe and elsewhere would probably be stamped out by violence ("godless communism", etc.) That's why the Democrats have been unable to make any progress against the current administration: you couldn't fit a cigarette paper between their beliefs. (And to preempt ad hominem attacks, I am a lifelong conservative).

    To be fair, the same process is happening worldwide. Politicians are slow on the uptake, but not so slow that they did not eventually notice the vastly greater attractiveness (from their point of view) of business governance. So citizens in the Land of the Free are controlled for most of their waking lives by corporations run on Stalinist lines. (OK, if you step out of line you don't get a bullet in the back of the head; you just get fired; but you are ejected from that particular corporate universe just as thoroughly as a dead man is removed from the political universe. And there is no trace of democracy).

    Politicans realised that it's a mug's game pushing ideologies, so they all transformed themselves into managers. It is much easier to get into power and stay there by giving the voters what they want. That's why all parties these days promise much the same - they all use the same opinion polls and focus groups to form their policies. Hence also the lack of interest in voting - why bother, when there is so little real choice?

    I must voice my agreement with the esteemed parent-poster and voice my support of his most valid and sincere observations. I have found that many so-called "psychiatrists" and their associates in this day and age practice a dangerous pseudo-science which attributes actions to a malaise of the brain, as though the mind were held at the whim of its physical environs. Nay, good sirs, God in His infinite wisdom hath given man Free Will, and places Free Will and Reason in the seat of the human mind. To attribute human action to the basest of physical exigencies is Godless, dishonest, and immoral. Indeed, as it is our exercise of Free Will which is the basis of our morality, so-called "Mental Illness" is properly categorized as a moral shortcoming. That we should allow a place for such morally deficient people in our society, and even beyond this, to accommodate them and give credence to their duplicitous claims that their faults are not born of their own corruption is truly lunacy on a level exhibited by the very people whom so-called "Progressives" wish to enable in their vices.

    Surely many will contend, "But sir, what of the fairer sex, so oft guided not by reason but by emotional folly?" Remember though, that God created Man in His image, and woman as a derivative. Being an imperfect replica of Man, the vagaries of Hysteria may indeed strike women against their diminished Will, but remember too that this affliction is readily ameliorated by a Hysterectomy. Bear in mind too, that harsh is this may seem, barrenness is no punishment, but a natural decision to curb the propagation of maladies of the mind.

    In conclusion, fuck you CrazyJeremy. Xenu will prevail, and the thetans will rape your mind mercilessly until you have perished from your mortal form.

    I agree to disagree with your historical assesment as to the meanings of Nazism, but, since I'm a Republican you'll have to trust that I'm more familiar with it.

    In all seriousness, there's that aspect of liberalism that believes that if we eliminate God from the social discourse, humanity will improve. There's a lot of people of that John Lennon ilk "Imagine there's no religion", that believe that if we could deconstruct every existing social institution we could have new world order where everyone would love each other. And me, I just think that will give us some new thing to have wars about. Of course, in saying that, that doesn't mean that there's not aspects of conservatism that are equally stupid. Intelligent design comes to mind... I mean, what takes more of God's brains, designing a plant leaf by itself, or, designing an entire unwinding mechanism of physics and chemistry so that plants and animals and man would arise as a part of a majesty of his will. It's almost like to argue ID is to say that God is too stupid to design an evolutionary process or too vain to give Man free will upon the Earth.

    "Nazism is sort of the ultimate proof that you don't need a Godlike God to go and destroy other people."

    I think you meant Stalin. As crazy as Hitler became in his later years when he saw organized religion as just another obstacle in his way, his whole basic anti-semetic philosophy was basically a plagarism of Martin Luther's "On Jews and Their Lies" and the manipulation of centuries of church-approved anti-semetic prejeduce. Hitler referenced God and god's authority in his speeches as much if not more often than politicians today. The highest Nazi honor was the Iron Cross... and so on. The idea that a highly religious country like Germany somehow magically transformed overnight into a bunch of atheists is absurd.

    You don't need evidence to demonstrate that the godless can be bad people. We're just people, after all, not some radically different form of life.
