  1. Re:Buy one get one? on NIH Orders Halt To Embryonic Stem Cell Research · · Score: 1

    "3) Do humans have innate value?"
    About £20 as "minced pork". And another £5 for good quality bone meal fertilizer.

    Since nuns are Brides of Christ, that makes God the ex Father in law. Ow.

  4. Re:I appreciate the moral implications for some on Court Rules Against Stem Cell Policy · · Score: 1

    I partially agree with you - it takes two to tango. That said, it's a lot easier for a man to up and walk away from the consequences of a night of bareback fun than the woman.
    At the end of the day the woman's body is the one that is going to have to bear the stresses and trauma of bearing and birth so she gets the final decision. But the man shouldn't be shackled by her decision without her say. I've seen too many cases where a woman's gotten pregnant from a one night stand, and the man's only found out when he's hit with a bill for child support. If they used contraceptives (or he believes she's on the pill) and then he gets no input on what happens after how is it fair that he ends up having to pay for someone else's decisions.
    Oh and no, I'm not in this situation. It's just one that's always struck me as unfair - just as unfair as deadbeat dads who change their mind and run off.

    So why were they called the National Socialist party for years then...?

    And one day when your beloved little crotchfruit is turning a fetching shade of purply-blue as you wait for medical assistance this post will come bubbling back out of your subconscious and destroy you.

  9. Re:It's totally frustrating on A Million Kids Misdiagnosed with ADHD? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that list pretty much sums me up. Well it did till the day I decided I'd had enough and gassed myself in my car. Someone rescued me but the damage already done shaved about 10 pts off my IQ. Made me a calmer, more easygoing person too. ADD seems to be that the person's brain just runs a bit too fast for the world - that's supposed to be a bad thing? I wonder what the results would be if you applied the ADD test to all the great genuises (genii?) of history while they were kids - I bet you'd find a huge correlation.

    Or, you become the person none of the bullies will fsck with cos' you don't treat it like a game with rules, you treat it like war. Pretty soon all the geeks and nerds will want to be your friends, cos' you are someone who can stop them getting stomped on who understands what THACO is...

  12. Re:WTF? Why can't I use the Phoenix Down on Aeirit on How Game Gimmicks Break Immersion · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I especially love Cutscene Queens - where an NPC is awesome in a cutscene, then joins your party and proves to be lame. Or the time honoured "Boss X is an extremely hard fight. After the fight Boss X joins your party and somehow turns out to be mediocre at best"

  13. Re:Listen up, Peter Pan... on How Game Gimmicks Break Immersion · · Score: 1

    "I haven't played Red Faction, so I can't say about how it did this; but I strongly suspect that you're exaggerating when you say that you can destroy everything - if you keep shooting at the floor, how deep a hole can you dig?" Fairly far. After a while you'll hit a different colourd rock strata that's indestructible - that's the edge of the box. In Red Faction 2 the scenery's not destructible, but pretty much all other objects are - you just might need to find the right gun.

  14. Re:Minigames on How Game Gimmicks Break Immersion · · Score: 1

    Invisible walls suck ass. Even the "Indestructible, unclimable chain-link fence" mecanism works better and i hate that. For me that's the #1 immersion breaker.

    It depends. Get good quality ink and go to someone who knows what they're actually doing they last longer. Practice decent aftercare (tip #1 - sunscreen is your friend) and that'll help too. You're looking at something that's gonna be on your body for life. Don't stint, do your research and be prepared to pay top dollar for a proper tattoo artist, not just someone who got into tattooing cos' they're Awesum Kewl.
