I can understand your frustration, it must be hard having pesky facts & statistics pushed in your face when they completely oppose your own 'victim complex' agenda and half baked propaganda. BTW I've never used Reddit so I don't get the reference? Regardless, I don't see why any person would view violence on one gender as something to be made light of and mocked, while viewing violence on the other gender as the most terrible thing ever? Do you have some sort of deep seated hatred for masculinity or something? Reply +2
Eh? We weren't actually discussing the "reason" for violence or why it's aimed at a certain gender, we were talking about who takes the brunt of it. Although I'm guessing you haven't heard of selective service/the draft? Selective service means men (and only men) can be forced by law to go to war against their will, selective service does not apply to women for some reason, so yes, in that scenario people would indeed be dying simply because they were born male, they are given no choice. Regardless, even ignoring war, as a male you're 150% more likely to be attacked by a stranger than a woman just by walking around your local neighbourhood. Don't take my word for it, do some research... Reply +1
"the objectification of violence against a group routinely persecuted and discriminated against with violence"
It's sad to see people like yourself are so uneducated on this subject. If you're talking about violence within the home then perhaps you should check the data from the Home Office statistical bulletins and the British Crime Survey which show that men make up well over 40% of domestic violence victims, from 2007-08 45.5% of victims were male. (not to mention the real numbers are probably MUCH higher due to men often being ashamed of admitting to being a victim of this type of crime).
If you're talking about violence outside the home (war, random attacks, street crime, etc) then there is absolutely no comparison to be made in regards to who gets attacked/killed more, yes, it's men (in vast numbers).
Also I take exception to your making light of the fact men aren't offered help in situations of abuse, i.e. less men's shelters and generally less societal acceptance of men as victims of domestic violence. Perhaps these are some of the reasons that men are four times more likely to commit suicide than women are?
So please go and peddle your "wiminz iz da viktimz" feminist propaganda elsewhere, cheers. Reply +3

How Powerful is the Wii U Really?
Back in the days of the Super Famicom, Nintendo ruled like Gods with games like Chrono Trigger, Megadrive owners saw how much better SF2 was on the SNES and went home to secretly cry, but no more, now Nintendo are the Louie Spence of the gaming world, quite successful but ultimately a joke, something for people to laugh at.

Apple is now the most valuable company of all time
Yes, a Ferrari costs more but that doesn't mean a less expensive product isn't luxury.
That's like saying "lighter skinned black people aren't black because there are certain black people with a darker tone"
You see, that's the wrong way to look at it, they're different shades of colour but they're both definitely still considered to be black ;) Reply 0
Some people would say that any mobile phone is a 'luxury' item, although obviously in the modern world a mobile actually is necessary in many cases, for business, safety, etc.
Anyway, at around £700 for the top spec 4s, I think most middle class people would consider that a 'luxury' price point. It's certainly more than I would choose to spend on a phone. Reply +1
Anyway, that's kinda irrelevant, I'm simply going on the dictionary definition of "luxury item", and the iPhone definitely qualifies in that regard. Reply 0
The iPhone is definitely a luxury item, the only reason so many people own them is because they're available on contract for £30-£40 per month. If people actually had to fork out the full asking price in one go, far, far fewer people would own one. Reply 0
Sony implicates Anonymous in PSN hack
Yeah, the problem is this my n00bish chum, I've been on this site for years and i play many of the EG forumites over PSN so I'm affraid you'll have to guess again. If you wish for me to prove it and hand your arse to you on Tekken or any other game feel free to message me your PSN... Reply +1
Edit - I see, so you feel 'inconvenienced' by Sony yet you believe this issue to be you're own fault? Either Sony is to blame for losing your details or you are to blame for trusting an "untrustworthy company" , do make up your mind. Reply +1
How does holding a company responsible for losing credit details = abdicating all personal responsibility ?
I'm not sure why you're trying so hard to defend Sony here, they've screwed up big time, and I'm not just talking about their lack of preventative measures, my issue is actually more to do with the insulting way they handled the problem after the fact, anyway, I'm sure Kaz 'n' the gang are pleased they have customers like you who will take any amount of shafting only to look back over your shoulder and beg for more...

You're obviously a child with little or no understanding of how things work, but in the land of the grownups, if you entrust your personal details to a company, they generally have an obligation to keep that info safe, and in fact most companies manage to do so apart from the idiots at Sony and the idiots who work for our government.
So, in short, yes, I will blame any company who take my credit details and allow criminals to have them. If you don't want to blame said companies that's your (totally spasticated) call. Reply 0
While that's a possibility, any other company would have to try extremely hard to out-fuckup Sony, so I'll take my chances...
I'm not unrealistic, I know that all companies face problems/have issues etc, but when company X loses my credit card details, home address, etc ,etc, I expect an apology at the very least. Sony obviously don't think they have anything to apologise for...

"Woohoo my name's Kaz, my company Sony will illegally install rootkits on your PC and give your credit card details and address to criminals, oh yeah PS3 is really 4D, it can run 4 1080p screens at 120fps, the untapped power of the cell is like totally gonna take over the world, 4 real, you get me."
My point is this, Sony suck balls, I'm actually going to start not buying Sony products. I don't do the whole "boycott this, boycott that blah blah blah" but seriously, I dislike the ethics of this company and will try to find alternatives in the future. They've screwed up too many times for my liking... Reply -1
