Response to: a question about horror games Posted 9 hours ago in Video Games

They learned early on from resident evil that if you give too little ammunition, then a save file of 10 hours could be rendered unbeatable if the hero doesn't have enough ammo for a boss fight and is stuck with a knife. This left a lot of people bummed and aggravated, even the most hardcore survival horror games of today like Cry of Fear have either a useful melee system or give generous (but not too generous) ammo supply.

I'm on the fence about this.

A writer for Gameinformer said that the campaign was the best since Modern Warfare 2, almost 5 years ago. That's saying a LOT, because I fricking loved MW2's campaign and still play it to this day.

Oh, multiplayer? What's the point if you can't either completely pummel little kids and make them cry, or just dick around with your friends and exploit the game / be an asshole troll?

I have neither skill nor friends so I wont bother with multiplayer.

What's the other feature again? Zombies?

Sure, they may say they care, but actions speak louder than words, and the action, or should I say the lack thereof, that Americans have taken to rectify these injustices speaks volumes about their priorities and their compassion for those who don't look like them.

I see this argument sometimes. The reason black incarceration rate is so high is because black crime rate is so high. It's really that simple. Also, what action would Americans do that we haven't already done for the impoverished? My paycheck doesn't like the sound of that.

Anyway, there's a reason that black people feel oppressed by the forces of racism in this country and are, by and large, angry about the state of affairs in the U.S.
Crushing poverty, bad relations with law enforcement, discrimination in the workplace, and basically all the racist shit that some opponents(Not all, of course) of President Obama have insinuated about him. Newt Gingrich called him the food stamp president. Ted Nugent called him a subhuman mongrel. The entire history of the Southern Strategy that blacks are well aware of.

Being on some sort of government assistance used to be a mark of shame. It meant you didn't handle your expenses and now must leave your fate in the hands of Uncle Sam. America has always been a fiercely independent nation, and we use to look down on people who refused to stand on their own two feet.

That being said, if they can't, physically, cannot, make rent, I get that. If your dumbass mother of father drank or gambled all your money, I get that too. Those people deserve pity. But if you are physically able to work, I'm sorry. This is (was) the breadbasket of the world. We have resources. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.

I won't defend Ted Nugent on that particular comment. He's an intense kind of guy, and is true to his feelings, but sometimes even the smartest men's words outpace their thoughts.

Gallup has been tracking the views on interracial marriage that Whites and Blacks have expressed over the past 55 years. Naturally, these days, approval of interracial marriage is pretty high. Among blacks, it's 96%. Among Whites, it's 86%. In total, 87% of all Americans support this.

I think that's pretty good. When have 96% of any group agreed on anything?

This is great and all, but it should be noted that there's still 13% of White people who don't approve of interracial marriage.

Well, by your data, 14%

And frankly, if you oppose interracial marriage, you're a racist. There's no getting around that. Sure, some Whites say they oppose it because of "the children being ostracized for being biracial" or some shit like that, but that's a pretty fucking flimsy excuse. I'm not saying that mixed-race kids have it great in this country, but their plight isn't so awful that it justifies opposition to interracial marriage.

I'm a libertarian, so I'm in full agreement. A contract between two individuals, be it nuptial or financial or w/e, is not of the government's concern.

Further, historically, "mongrelization" of the races was a similar reason that Whites in the 20th century opposed this practice and was in fact the reason it was outlawed until 1967. They wanted to keep the races pure, essentially. I suspect that that's the reason some Whites still oppose it today, which makes them racist.

To our shame, the progressive movement of the 1920s which was founded by men and women such as Margaret Sanger. Her views on other races would make your skin crawl. This is where eugenics, as we know it today, was started. And there are a lot of links between American social-progressive views on race towards the Third Reich's own policy towards any non-Aryans. Shame, a lot of misery over something that is literally skin-deep, as somebody pointed out in another topic about melanin.

Further, the link I supplied shows that Southerners are, naturally, most opposed to interracial marriage. It's ludicrous to suggest that it's because they're just more empathetic to the possible plight of mixed-race kids. The truth is they're the most racist. And here's the kicker: according to the Gallup source, a majority of Whites opposed interracial marriage until 1997. That was not very long ago. At all. And you still have 14% who don't approve of this. That is a significant number to me. Progress has definitely been made, but not enough.

To be fair, my criticism of those who oppose this practice extends to people of all races. Blacks who oppose this are racists as well. Same with Hispanics, Asians, and so on.

I looked up the Gallup poll (good source) to see how the question was worded. It's not about public policy, like barring different races from marrying, but a sign of disapproval, the "not in my backyard" crowd.

http://www.gallup.com/poll/163697/approve-marriage-blacks-whites.aspx

The article also said that, in 1958, 4% of Americans approved of interracial marriage. I'd say we've made a good bit of progress!

I'll stand by America where she has made good choices, and we have made leaps and bounds in our race relations, I feel.

So, do women go for that? I would assume they don't like anal because who the fuck wants something in their ass?

This is a good question. Men have prostates, which is why sodomy "feels" good to those who go for it. But women do not have prostates, obviously. So, I hypothesize that all women secretly hate anal, but only like it if their partner does.

Also, what does a vagina feel like?

Bony, or cartilage-y

How? This topic is explicitly about American race relations, so the idea that a lot of Americans don't really give a shit about the plight of black people in the U.S. is something that should be discussed.

How do you know this?

Anyway, there's a reason that black people feel oppressed by the forces of racism in this country and are, by and large, angry about the state of affairs in the U.S.

What are these reasons?

You should look into those reasons through research,

That falls on the person who makes the claim.

because I get the feeling that my repeating them here might fall on deaf ears.

Well, you have my full attention.

I could cite the numerous statistics and historical evidence to substantiate my position, but I'm not sure it'll be all that effective.

We conservatives are very reasonable. Saying you have all the answers but withholding them is like saying you're a French model but not showing a picture....sure you are a model...

A majority of White Americans are uncomfortable with the idea that they may be more racist than they think, or that racism didn't cease to exist in this country after the 1960s.

I'd ask you to explain this, but the term racism has too many conflicting definitions to be discussed seriously anymore. But you can try.

If you're white, you're statistically likely to be one of those people.

Show me.

Better yet, why don't you talk to a black person or two and hear about their experiences with racism in the U.S.? A conversation about the issue can go a long way towards reexamination of one's views about this problem.

I don't think there is a thing wrong with my private views, but there is also nothing wrong with further discussion. I'll certainly give this a try.

Yeah.....unfortunately for our transgender friends on here, this is typically the case for them in public. Long hair with big hands, breasts with male facial features, tall wearing female clothing...etc.

I think our brains are wired to simply categorize things in the world as male/female/thing. Which is why some languages like ancient Latin or modern Spanish have gender'd nouns.

I took Latin for 5 years. It's not out of any kind of supposed 'structure' that linguists and scholars consider "valus" to be masculine, "avus" to be feminine, or "tabula" to be neuter. It's simply out of convenience for the speaker.
