Re: This or That: 'Oregon Trail' vs. 'Space Invaders'

Great article, Nancy. Easy choice for me, a former teacher. Oregon Trail was #1 for the litany of reasons you listed.

The kids loved it and so did I. MECC products were all high quality and the kids loved playing them and they learned a lot besides!

Sure glad to hear that many of the team who created it at MECC are now at RE@L (RealExperiencesAtLife.com) working on the same high quality learning games.

I'd like to see someone try to prosecute me for that. It'll never fly. I have as much right to ridicule your ridiculous gun fetish as you have to keep and bear a needlessly large arsenal of deadly weapons.

Q: What's the difference between an AR-15 and a codpiece?
A: One is a device designed to exaggerate a man's sexual endowment, and the other is an archaic men's fashion accessory.

I don't know why you're still bothering to comment. Anyone who might have been persuaded to your point of view would have quit reading this page as soon as the yahoos on your side started with the gay bashing and misogynistic slurs. You're going to keep failing to persuade people as long as your side fails to reign those jackasses in. But of course, you can't do that, for two reasons: (1) they'll whine about their rights; and (2) they're members of your tribe, and you don't want to appear disloyal.

Infantile.

I have listened to your comments. and even if you remain ignorant of what you are trying to do, it is still readily apparent. Under RICO, you are guilty of conspiracy to deny me of my civil rights.

This is me laughing at you. What did Alinsky say about using marginalizing to beat your opponents? FLASH: it is not working for you.

Agreed in principle!

I would say that being an antigunner is that your zealotry is just as bad. Did you even read the comments before making judgment? It does not seem so.

Re: Should gun makers be allowed to create handguns that look like cellphones?

Shocked, they never like it when you bring that up. They do not care about the rule of law. They only want to get their way.

Re: Should gun makers be allowed to create handguns that look like cellphones?

john — Thu, 21 Apr 2016 02:19:28 -0000

BS. Care to engage in a discussion where you argue with logic and facts instead of zealotry and emotions? I am a progun zealot. , But you don't care. Can the lies.

Re: Should gun makers be allowed to create handguns that look like cellphones?

john — Thu, 21 Apr 2016 02:17:39 -0000

Cargo, I am right there with you. Antigunner zealots/ fanatics do not want anything like balance or logic or facts. They only want to win, and cannot stand that somebody resists them.

Nope. You are just losing the argument. You treat Salon like it is an impartial source????

Re: Should gun makers be allowed to create handguns that look like cellphones?

john — Thu, 21 Apr 2016 02:14:01 -0000

That is called deflection. Not an answer or counterargument. You know what deflection is, right?

She does not even have the decency to deny it.

No worse rhetoric than yours.

Yes, Mother Jones and Rolling Stone are both great advocates for truth and justice.

sophistry. Of course, since it supports your view, you embrace it. Only natural, but it does not add validity to what you say.

Re: Should gun makers be allowed to create handguns that look like cellphones?

john — Thu, 21 Apr 2016 02:06:43 -0000

I criticize your comments based on what you say, your ill manners, and narcissism and conceit. It has nothing to do with gender. It is offensive that you try to use that as a defense.

So, you're saying that if I express my views about the necessity of better gun safety laws in America, I should just expect to have misogynistic insults hurled at me? That's just the price I have to pay for sharing my opinion, so I have no cause to object? That sounds like what you're saying when you suggest that I "grow some thicker skin." The point has been clearly made in this discussion that there's a loud and rowdy segment of America's gun culture (not all of it, to be sure) that is incapable of civilized behavior, and you're sticking up for them.

Re: Should gun makers be allowed to create handguns that look like cellphones?

john — Mon, 18 Apr 2016 22:11:02 -0000

Your are correct that I am guilty of jumping in on an ongoing conversation. HOWEVER, your sexism has nothing to do with my politics or participation in anyone else's values, except that I harshly jealously defend my civil rights about gun ownership. Grow some thicker skin.

Sue de Nim — Sun, 17 Apr 2016 07:07:50 -0000

You don't think making crude allusions to gang rape is "outdated" and "irrelevant"? You jumped into a conversation where I was responding to vile comments by a group of yahoos that want the world to believe they can be trusted with arsenals of firearms. You might want to be more careful about who you choose to stick up for.

Re: Should gun makers be allowed to create handguns that look like cellphones?

john — Sat, 16 Apr 2016 22:17:26 -0000

Listen to yourself talk. You choose to distort the argument and use rhetoric that is outdated, and irrelevant.

How is calling misogyny misogyny "man-bashing"?
