Hitting a
nerve? Nah, I was just pointing out that you aren't nearly as clever or funny as
you think yourself to be. Sorry if the truth hurts. Come back around when your "argument" is more
than boring .jpegs and .gifs.


So I was right then?

No, I was, as usual:

What, you're expecting him to conform to a more mature norm than the one of that certain imageboard I'm sure he frequents?

Oh and while Foxhound admittedly uses a LOT of pictures to get his point across; the fact stands that his arguments are still more logical and coherent than the vast majority of other posters. That would include you as well Recon.

Do you know what an analogy is?

Yes, getting to ride a bus isn't the same thing as picking an option to romance a character in a video game but it's all about the similarities in the relationship between the comparison and... why do I bother.

Now for something that is far more important that the "discussion" on this thread. Do you think the Lions will actually win their first play-off game in more than a decade? I don't know myself, since they only just beat the Raiders by one point. They were 14 points down at the start of the last quarter, so I guess they MAY be able to beat their first play off opponent.

Are we discussing s/s romances anymore or each others maturity? Because the "conversation" about the former is far more interesting.

The thought that someone can be so insecure about their sexuality that a s/s option on a dialogue wheel can be a threat is...disappointing. <_<

This is precisely the type of generic counter argument I've come to accept. One completely devoid of thought.

And most people take looks into consideration. None of LIs do that. Ohh and most women don't date guys who beat other women for no reason. Yeah and most people take morals into account and won't date someone who's morality is complete opposite to his/her. And of course the number of men so handsome and attractive to have 90% of his female co-workers/cubordinates/classmates be into him is probably way smaller than the number of gay people in society.

So, you were talking about real-life examples of realism being applied to ME romances?


Oddly enough, none of that pointed out any reason why Bioware should make everybody bisexual.

It would be some awfully wacky logic if you were suggesting that should make everybody bisexual because ME doesn't take into account how ugly or pretty Shepard is. One flaw doesn't justify another.

The analogy itself still has to make some sense, dear.

The logic of numbers without consideration of social, historical and natural facts. That is why I despise Mathematics.

Well this looks like it would be fun to watch. Too bad I can't :~(

Are you sure? I'd be willing to share my popcorn.


I'd love to, but I've been away for the last couple of days, then had to come in today and work this Sunday night. It's like 12:39 here. I maaaaaaaaaaay be back on, but probably not.

Later, friends.

OOooo! I get to bring in some of my research from a term paper I wrote this semester.

A-hem. Studies have proven, based on penile circumfrence, that men who dislike homosexuals were far more stimulated (as in, the circumfrence of their penis increased) when viewing intimacy between two males then men who didn't dislike homosexuals. Want the citation? ;)

And screw over most players who like some depth of character in the process?

Do understand that I don't - I simply can't - come up with conclusions out of thin air when writing my papers since - y'know - i actually care about my education.

While I don't approve of the use of the word "proven", things like studies exist so  we can try to get the big picture each of us as individuals is incapable of finding out on our own. Yes?

Well. And to get funding.
