What Ponch said.

My belief on this is that the majority of police officers are men. Men are generally more lenient and polite towards women. This is my own personal beliefs because I notice it in myself as well.

Well if we are being ultra politically correct here. I think it would be more prudent to have the belief that society in general imbues women with less responsibility, and that is the reason for a reduced number of tickets. Not that men seek out authority and action filled jobs, and treat women with more politeness (while not seeking out more action in their driving habits).

But that does not seem to be most people problems with her arguments, Trapezoid.
Most people seem to find that her analysis were just shallow and cherry picked.

A counter-argument...of sorts.

Only watched the first 10 minutes, but I think I understand the two arguments.

The feminist one actually seems slightly better argued. But completely missing the part were the weak and ineffective female breaks that 20 foot tall armoured man with the gigantic punch to the balls is pretty bad. I think the man really goes not question enough, and takes too many feminist beliefs as correct without testing them, and therefore really fails to counter her arguments well enough.

Is it an adventure game? Or some other genre?

Me?

Unless someone else wants it.

But Gnomes article today got me excited for it.

XCom?

This does seem to be a well documented feature of XCOM: Enemy Unknown.
Also, http://www.steamgifts.com/.

"The Reaper by Ben304"

That does not ring any bells. Is this pretty much a first announcement for this game?

Looks great!

It seems like we have a lot of them. But what adventure game can be our Citizen Kane?

SO, to be clear, we are talking about/looking for an adventure game that is really old and over-rated? That is at its last moments of cultural applicability, and is technically outdated?

What might be a better question is, what is the Shawshank Redemption of adventure games. Which I would argue is the Citizen Kane of my generation. I doubt that that any of my similarly aged friends, except for myself, have watched Citizen Kane. I doubt that most of my generation have ever even heard of it.

High salaries reduce creativity and technical skill. There has been studies.

And if I were going to blame anyone, I would blame browser programmers/people who use old browsers or anything other than Chrome. It worked perfectly for me on Chrome.

I was a bit harsh about it, it's really not that bad actually    & kudos to Google for throwing some random fun our way every couple of weeks.

There have been AGS games that have been worse.

I liked it. What do you need the feather for?

Umm, it is obvious enough that I think you probably are far away from being able to use it. You need the grow juice first.

I liked the Stanislaw Lem adventure game Doodle better.
But this one is pretty good for a Doodle, if confusing.

Are you suggesting that RickJ is incorrect in suggesting that people yearn for freedom? If so then that is bizarre.

I am suggesting that he contradicts his own statement.

But I would say that. There is not a democratic country that I know anything about that does not constantly give away freedoms. They obviously dislike freedom, or at least care not at all for it.

"Most human beings only think they want freedom. In truth they yearn for the bondage of social order, rigid laws, materialism, the only freedom man really wants, is the freedom to become comfortable." - John Teller

Egyptians are a subset of everybody, so you said that Egyptians yearn for freedom, among many others.

"3. Smart and knowledgeable people know that's it's foolish to believe one has more than a superficial understanding of another country's culture and/or politics."
And you are the one who said "their quest for freedom"

All I said was that they were doing a very bad at whatever they were trying to accomplish.

You specifically said that they "yearn for freedom."

1. Everyone, regardless if they are 'idiots' or 'smart and knowledgeable', yearns for freedom.
2. Freedom is always a just cause.
3. Smart and knowledgeable people know that's it's foolish to believe one has more than a superficial understanding of another country's culture and/or politics.

And yet you are trying to tell me what Egyptians believe, what they are trying to do, and if they are going about this well.

I genuinely struggle to understand what you're saying. But you do seem to have a lot of confidence in your viewpoint.

I just reworded your statement. You apparently do not understand what the protesters not 'being smart, knowledgeable, and having a just cause' has to do with "protesters [being] idiots". That is logically confusing.

You are saying that I should not dismiss the protesters as being idiots, and you do not know what me giving proof about their idiocracy has to do with anything?

I am trying to say, I am not casually dismissing them as idiots, I am dismissing them as idiots as there are loads of specific and general reasons to believe that angry mobs are idiots in both the general and this specific case.

It is easy to change the world. Changing it for the better is basically statistically impossible.

You do not know what being smart and knowledgeable has to do with not being an idiot??

I think that is a naive perspective when there are people being killed on the streets.

I do not know what being killed has to do with being smart, knowledgeable, and having a just cause.



That first maxima is, of course, political protesters/rioters. I thought is was extremely obvious that when anyone at all thought that is was a good idea that the military take control of the civilian government the first time, that obviously no one over their had any idea what they were doing, or what they wanted.
