Academy of the overrated... - Page 4

Microsoft Software, Windows specifically, and Bill Gates "the great innovator" (read: the great thief)

Also PC thought in general, and feminism in particular.

I'd like to elaborate on the last: true equality is impossible, nor is it even necessary. I feel it's important to recognize that everyone in the world isn't equal. Feminism is especially loathsome as it is based on the fiction that women are better suited for most things than men are.

This isn't to say that women should be considered property, or any such foolishness, but feminism is in large part responsible for a lot of the grief we have today as a society.

Christian Bale: Bad actor!

Thief pcgame series: only played part 3, but dang they messed up there. It was supposed to be a stealth game and suddenly I had to fight a whole horde underground without stealth

Quentin Tarantino: Don't get me wrong, I like his movies, but he's not the wonderchild of directing a lot of people are crediting him for. He just has a different take on movies which I also like.

In that case Irongrinder, it would be Theif 3 that was over-rated. Having not played the other two you're not entirely qualified to coment on the series as a whole.

But I will say the Leo DeCrappio err Caprio is a tad over-rated.

Feminism is NOT based on the fiction that women are better suited for most things. It is based on the fundamentally decant assumption that women should have equal rights. To claim that Feminism is responsible for a lot of the grief we have today in society is one of the biggest load of bull*** I have had the misfortune to read on this forum in years.

True, I'll not edit the post but correct it here: Thief 3 was a badly overrated game. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hmm. I had always thought that feminism was based on countering the fiction that women are better suited to certain things (namely domestic tasks and child-rearing) than men, and the fiction that men are better suited to most other things (in particular voting, being educated, and working in anything other than menial jobs) than women.

Of course true equality is impossible, as everyone has different skills, talents, and luck. But the strive for equality is for equal opportunity, where people are only discriminated against based on relevant attributes, not irrelevant attributes, and everyone who is able is given the opportunity to attain the relevant attributes.
