    [RD] 'What will people say' trailer

    I want to share and discuss this upcoming film and the serious issues it covers for a lot of people of south Asian origin: It personally reminded of a case with a family I knew as a child that ran a cornershop near to both my school and the main Hindu temple my parents used to take me to. I...

    Why is blasphemy legal in the developed world, but illegal on Civfanatics?

    Would be nice to be able to discuss this openly. Theres even an annual international blasphemy day: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blasphemy_Day One of very few such special events that atheists / anti theists / irreligious / etc people like myself can enjoy participating in. E.G my current...

    The illogical hypocrisy of 50/50 gender employment

    This is one ever gnawing flaw behind most of the feminist movement that I have never understood - the idea that x job role be populated with an equal number of male and female workers. I have often challenged this hypocritical argument with my comment 'where are all the female sewer...

    I have never been able to taste coke

    I've spent a few days trying to google this mystery, but can find nothing. Not only coke, but also similar drinks like 7 up. I can taste sweetness in fruit juice, chocolates, and desserts, but never in most pop drinks. I was reminded of this because I tried drinking a can of coke recently...

    All murderers and rapists are bad and evil people.

    I believe that they are. These two acts to me are the worst possible things that an individual can do. Murdering, or raping another human regardless of any underlying mental illness defaults such a person into a state of bad and evil to me. I cannot believe that anyone who murders or rapes...

    All Muslims are nice and peaceful people.

    Saudi Arabia wants to behead and crucify the body of 17 year old democracy protestor

    http://www.reprieve.org.uk/saudi-arabia-stop-the-crucifixtion-of-ali-al-nimr/ I've always wondered why the west is always supportive of the Islamic holy country, yet seems to hate many of the others. Oh, and the way the crucifixions work there is that the person is beheaded first, then...

    Illwinter's Strategy Games

    I recently just got into these games a few days ago. I had Conquest of Elysium 3 in my steam library for ages from a sale, but only just decided to learn how to play (when I first got it, I gave up from being unable to figure out how to group my units). Conquest of Elysium 3 Dominions 4...

    'How can a clock even look like a hoax bomb?'

    Seriously, those stupid racist Texans and American police brutes who handcuffed and detained that kid for many hours for taking a clock he made himself to school .... Oh yes, a large digital display inside a briefcase is most definitely a clock and not at all anything suspicious looking...

    Acid is not for faces.
