The Gaming Den

Don't worry, I won't bother posting anything "new" from now on.

Enjoy the hell you have created for yourselves. I'm out of here.

I'm sorry but I don't see what the big deal is here. Crimes tzor does not understand: rape arson What will be next on the list? Perhaps you should learn to fucking read? You know, text within its context? Yes I know that's a hard thing for a person with only a kindergarden level education to unders...

Sounds like the blame is spread around, but mostly upon the radio host and the guy who set the fire. It sounds like the radio host knew what he was doing based upon Guyr's description of events, and fully intended to cause trouble. So, yes, he deserves some of the blame. And the timing of the fire ...

Women Having Abortions Up Premature Birth Risk 34% Next Time A new study conducted in the United Kingdom finds women who have abortions are 34 percent more likely to deliver a baby prematurely when they become pregnant the next time and to suffer from other pregnancy complications. Sohinee Bhattach...

Please note, I have Kaelik on ignore for a reason; he is an arrogant shithead. If he would decide to argue the message and not the messinger I might even give the dignity of a proper response. And what the fuck has Roe v Wade got to do with this? Really, you are a fucking retard if you want to count...

It's the word "only" that bothers me: Where foes are no longer just simple combat stats but are challenges that can be overcome only by using special tactics, magic, or almost supernatural feats of strength or speed. I'm not bothered by the word "only" but I'm old enough to know...

Being Old School, I still have a photocopy of the dragon article on firearms from back in first edition days as well as the companion article about canons in first edition. As a part of the "shared multiverse campaign system" where people could port their characters from one R.P.I. campaig...

Let me make a proposition; A good game is one that effectively replicates, and incentivizes replication of the canon it tries to recreate. I will make the following argument. By your definition, AD&D (Gygax's Edition) was a "Good Game." It really created a canon and did it well. It wa...

Long Island here. Chicago is a little too far for me. Yes I did drive there with a friend in one day ... that's 13 hours of driving and I forget if that included the time zone change or not. We took two days to drive back.

Guyr, that's definitely crap, but who is to blame here, the idiot of the right-wing radio host, the idiot who started the first (and only fire) that might have actually been an accident, or officials who simply were looking for a lame excuse to shut things down? I'm going to have to go for the later...

Offended Muslim chokes atheist, and then … WND This is an interesting and yet stupid article. (But it's WND, what can one expect?) So to give the executive summary, in a parade in Mechanicsburg, PA, two guys dress up as Zombie Muhammad and Zombie Pope. Why? Because they are athiests? (Let's skip th...

I would say this was Bill Clinton's fantasy when his wife was pushing Hillary-care.

Doesn't sound "medically needed" to me. Most definitions are based on the life and health of the woman. Not the desire not to have a kid in several months. Being pregnant at all is not good for a woman's health. No, that is not correct. One may argue that getting pregnant might not be goo...

absolutely nothing to do with an attack of raw force against a helpless victim Good thing that's not the definition of rape then. I suppose, because it's a sloppy collection of words. Rape is a type of sexual assault usually involving sexual intercourse, which is initiated by one or more persons ag...

The real problem with the Occupy movement is that it has a problem but no solution. Consider the tea party movement. They had a problem and a solution. (What's the problem) Our taxes are too high. (What do you want to do) Lower our taxes. (How) Elect people to lower our taxes. --- tea party people t...

The procedure may be unnecessary. (Then again, there are a lot of CYA procedures one has to take that may be unnecessary.) Requiring the procedure may be inconvenient. It may require the insertion of something into the vagina (but does not require the insertion of anything through the cervix which i...

A mob of unruly, disgusting, foul, deranged people if ever there was one …

Oh wait, I wasn’t thinking of Occupy Boston, I was thinking of Boston Red Sox fans. Nevermind.

So, we've established that: [*]TVUs aren't medically necessary in most circumstances, and even then, it's up to the physician to determine. [*]Even though the Texas law doesn't explicitly state TVUs, they're implying it based on the sonogram requirements built into the law (based on the age of the ...

First trimester abortions aren't "medially needed" unless it's an etopic and then the only way you can tell that is an ultrasound. They are if you are unwilling to take your chances on a natural abortion and don't want to wind up with a new kid in several months. Doesn't sound "medic...

ok I'll ignore the snarky attitude of your post and ask you to provide evidence that any doctor or clinic in Virginia thinks that the determination of the gestational age of the fetus 24 hours before an abortion is medically needed. You need to determine the age of the fetus in order to determine h...

It has been mentioned that the article does not specifically mention the type of ultrasound. Then again, in both cases neither did the law. Do you have a source for the law where I can see the actual text? My Google-fu seems weak today. Well, there is the article in the NYT In its current form, Vir...

I don't think human society will be recognizable in a thousand years, but I think we'll still be around in some way or another. I kind of think that Futurama is the closest thing to an accurate prediction of the future that anyone has (we'll all have nicer toys to play with, but everyone will still...

One of the lovely things about the Den (and utopian liberals in general) is that facts are seldom needed or discussed because it’s easy to just pull out catch phrases and scream loudly. It has been mentioned that the article does not specifically mention the type of ultrasound. Then again, in both c...

Perhaps it should require this. One of the results of the whole Roe vs Wade etc rullings is that abortion as a procedure generally falls under the radar of good practice. Malpractice and procedural mistakes are easily swept under the rug through "privacy" laws. Actual doctors say it's unn...

Cutting an infinity into thirds gives you three very, very big chunks which are 1/3rd of the total infinity; not zero. Wat. 1/3 of infinity is exactly the same size as infinity. Take these two sets of numbers: A) 1, 2, 3, 4, etc B) 3, 6, 9, 12, etc Each number in A maps to exactly one number in B, ...
