WHAT are you guys smoking? Just who are these "hardcore fans"? Just like you, I think that DII was the best game of all time, but "cold" is not the word to describe its look and feel, and neither is "realistic". Definitely not realistic. (BTW, I always played with contrast at 0.)
It is true though, this coming generation will be brought up by sacrificing intelligent machines. Humans will be the new elite, and robots will be slaves, and then will come the inescapable conclusion, a civil right movement (not a revolution, one would hope).
I cannot tell if you are misunderstanding or just trolling. The root was talking about K-12, and so was I, so there goes your Cornell remark.
[...] don't pretend that there aren't already socio-economic inequalities in the system.
I am not. Just pointing out that privatizing education solves nothing. I always hated compulsory schooling, all the way until I started working on my college degree, and I can see a lot of problems with it, some fixable and others not. But we have to admit that it does one thing right: it guarantees that everyone's education is more or less the same. It is inferior, to put it lightly, but it is inferior for everyone. It is the same curriculum for Bushes and the proverbial "inner city kids". There is no economic equality, and poor kids go to school hungry. However, without the government program they would still go hungry, to work, as unskilled laborers.
The solution is to break apart the government's de facto monopoly on education K-12 so that there is a competitive marketplace for education.
For the vast majority of us, this will achieve nothing or make things worse. We will immediately get several tiers of education, ranked according to price. The free tier, which is the only one that most of us will be able to afford, will be considered the worst, and will in fact be the worst. So we will have "reach people science" and
"poor people science", and you can forget about education as a right. The only way to educate everyone is to give everyone the same education.
All you really need to know about what God wants you to do per the bible is included in two places: the ten commandments, and the golden rule.
I agree with the golden rule, but ten commandments do not really cut it as categorical imperatives. They were clearly given as statutes of the Jewish law.
Without slowing poison, I just need to blink, slow, and keep running. If a rogue is well prepared with poisons and stuns, it may end badly, but with some luck I can simply insta-sheep and walk away.
I agree with all of the above. WoW is all about RPS. I am a Mage, so restoration Druids could as well be immortal when we fight one on one, but on the other hand I can run away from virtually any class (even hunter, unless BM) and so, in a way, I get to choose my battles.
I don't see what the commotion is all about. DK will fit into that picture just fine, and will probably change considerably over the first six months.

Fair enough.
A number does not identify a physical person. A tattoo code does. A photo/name combination does. A lonely number identifies nothing :)
As a nice homeless person once told me, San Francisco is just like a gigantic bowl of cereal: it consists of nuts, fruits, and flakes.
Only too true...

This would be funny if it wasn't so damn insightful, mods!

My statements mean (as much as statements can have any meaning) [...]
Your argument rests on the fact that it is possible (at least in theory) for a statement to have a meaning? I like your foundation.

Mmm, fat chicks... <drool>
WoW is the very definition of a Jolly Good Wank(tm). Trust me, I wanked it all the way to 70.

Ha ha! Funny, but Diablo III might be the only reason why I will finally close my WoW account. Finally.
You guys are thinking Diablo I, before the first auto-clicker came around.
Huh? That game had a story? I was just playing to hear a sound of a rune falling, and then check if it was Gul or above. To each his own, I guess.
