MechaTama31: I mean, of the groups being bullied here, which of the two would you refer to collectively as "nerds"?10/19/2014 - 11:30pm

MechaTama31: But that's the thing, it doesn't sound to me like he is advocating bullying, it sounds like he is accusing the SJWs of bullying the "nerds", who I can only assume refers to the GGers.10/19/2014 - 11:21pm

Andrew Eisen: Interesting read. Unfortunately, too vague to form an opinion on but at least now I know what faefrost was talking about in James' editorial.10/19/2014 - 10:39pm

Neo_DrKefka: Only good thing I seen come out of the Biddle incident was the fact a professional fighter offered to give 10k to an anti bullying charity for a round in the ring with Biddle.10/19/2014 - 7:49pm

Neo_DrKefka: Even after all the interviews she is still on twitter making fun of people with disabilities (Autism) yet she is a part of the crowd that is on the so called right side of history...10/19/2014 - 7:48pm

Neo_DrKefka: Which #GameGate supports are constantly being harassed and bullied. Brianna Wu who I told everyone she was trolling GamerGate weeks ago with her passive aggressive threats was looking for that crazy person in the crowd.10/19/2014 - 7:47pm
|
Neo_DrKefka: I believe the problem #GamerGate has with Sam Biddle is he is apart of this blogging group that in a way hates or detests its readers. Also being apart of the crowd that claims its on the right side of history isn't helping when he is advocating bullying10/19/2014 - 7:45pm

MechaTama31: Of course, I'm looking at these tweets in isolation, I don't know a thing about the guy.10/19/2014 - 7:06pm
|
MechaTama31: If anything, the sarcastic implication seems to be that the SJW crowd is bringing back the bullying of nerds. But it's the GGers who are out for his blood? I'm lost...10/19/2014 - 7:01pm
|
MechaTama31: I don't really get this Sam Biddle thing. The reaction to his tweets seems to be taking them at face value, but... they're tongue in cheek. Right?10/19/2014 - 7:00pm

@JustChris There's nowhere
@JustChris
There's nowhere else to come up with that funding, right? There's no ridiculous programs spending 12 million dollars on doing nothing, right?
PS:
The state gas tax is 25 cents average.
"You know, oddly enough,
"You know, oddly enough, money for the roads doesn't come from state governments, it comes from FEDERAL funding"
The gas tax in question is a federal tax as well, which is why Hillary and McCain can affect it through the congress. What, you think they can just clap their hands and change state level affairs such as state taxation?
Also, many states pay for roads via toll booths.
And 'many states', in fact every single one of them, also adds some taxation to gas prices. That's just how it is.
So, those construction workers would still be working, because they still have money to maintain roads and bridges, as well as build new ones.
Let's just try to do this by common sense. We have an area that receives X amount of funding from toll booths AND taxation. Now you cut away the taxation part. The funding goes down. Which means that regardless of what you've said, there _will_ be construction issues, which in turn means less employed construction workers, people that aren't typically incredibly well off, which means even more depression in the US economy.
As well as this:

Seems like that commission didn't quite agree with your notion that those extra cents a gallon are expendable.
Ya, electing people with experience has been workign well so far..... oh, wait.
Yeah! Ummm...sorry, we're all SOL if you mean pick one of the other two candidates.
dude...you give gamers a bad name with your baseless hatin, just because you didnt bother looking at Obama's ideas...there all over his debates, his own website, and his last book. Of course they not be the best of ideas to some..but still turning a blind eye and covering your ears and saying he is devoid is dumb.
Anyway..this article is about creativity meshing two icons, not political opinion highhorsing.
Don't you mean the other THREE candidates? You seem to forget that Ron Paul is still in the running.
Ron Paul is still very much in the running with a little over 1 million people supporting him. McCain support is diminshing very quickly simply because he is a war monger.
@Arion
Obama's ideas are....extremely lacking in most areas. As you said though, this isn't a political highhorsing article.
I will admit that the artwork is very creative.
"to keep Jack Thompson from forcing him off the ballot"
As if JT had that kind of power...
Personally, I would have gone with "Grand Theft George McGovern Platform 72" or something for the poster. But I guess that doesn't really roll off the tongue as easily..
I don't believe Obama's done any bashing of GTA4. I'm sure he doesn't know who Jack Thompson is. Video games are simply not an issue for his campaign one way or another.
George McGovern (who incidentally just switched his endorsement from Clinton to Obama, for whatever that's worth), like John Kerry, ran against a Republican incumbent who at the time still maintained a certain level of popularity with the public. Obama, by contrast, is running for an open seat following the least popular president in recorded history, as a Democrat in a time when Bush and the neocons have dragged the entire Republican brand into the trash.
As for Obama himself, his ideas are perhaps only marginally better than Hillary's, but at least he seems sincere about wanting to improve the country. Hillary still strikes me as horribly inauthentic - she'll say whatever it takes for a vote just so she can move into a bigger office, not because she actually cares about this country. Yeah, it's kind of shallow basing a preference on oratory skills, but there's not enough policy differences between the two to make for much of an intelligent decision.
Not once in his comments did Sen. Obama "dis" GTA IV. People saying that he "bashed" GTA IV need to get a clue.
I personally thought his comments about video games and entertainment as a whole and parents' responsibility were well-reasoned and rational.
That's considered "bashing" and "dissing" now? Really?
I mean, I like this site and I'm a huge gamer (30 years old, college graduate, married, relatively successful), and I love GTA IV, but there's sometimes that we can be a little too sensitive any time a politician mentions a video game.
Not every poltician is Jack Thompson.
Grand Theft America's taken. See Ultimates Vol.1 prt 2.
As it shouldn't be.
In the grand scheme of things, the violent video game issue really means nothing. There are bigger fish to fry.
You say that like we have any good candidates.
I didn't mean to imply that we did. I'm so unenthusiastic about this race it's become "Who will screw up the country the least?"
Pretty much.
If you really believe a damn word of what Barack says about 'change', then I have some property I'd like to sell you in Florida.
I think the best hope for us would be John McCain; he doesn't seem so enthusiastic about videogame legislation. Sure, he pays lipservice, but he won't turn us into a communist nation like Hitlery, and his promises aren't hollow like Barack's.
Plus, my guess is that the Obama camp didn't actually make this poster.
I second that. Obama seems to have more of a problem with the fact that kids are couch potatoes than any moral danger that violent games like GTA IV pose.
If you believe that John McCain represents change, I got bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell you. A man who is running on a platform that could only be descibed as a 3rd Bush term is not considered change.
And you showed your hand when you called Sen. Clinton "Hitlery." Dazzling insight.
LOLOLOL
There is no such thing as the anti-christ. Just as there is no such thing as Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, etc.
If people worried more about the well being of their fellow man than appeasing the mythical, magic man who lives in the sky this world would be a much better place.
Quoted again for truth.
He didn't hop on the "violent games are evil!" bandwagon like, oh say, Hillary did.
He just said kids need to be more active. Which they do.
Yeah.
Retarded.
This is how you know when originality is dead, and political issues have become irrelevant. This is less about the issues at hand (which most people seem not to be able to figure out) and more about image.
yea, "God Bless America". we're gonna need it if he gets elected.
