Who plays these kinds of games for their story?Essentially, everyone. It's just that most people don't realise it. If the game's flow doesn't encourage you to make good use of its mechanics, you will not make good use of the mechanics, and the game will flop.
Um, no. You just lopped off the end of my sentence to make it seem that way. It's yet another demonstration of your complete inability to fairly characterize others' arguments.Ah, right. Sorry, I was under the assumption that you were about to say something reasonable for once. So you're of the belief that the average low height of Chinese and Korean people has nothing to do with it, and it's all about training and desire. Typical "well informed, thanks" approach.
Few Chinese or Korean athletes with the requisite talent to compete in NBA basketball are interested in doing so. There are fewer opportunities for young Chinese and Korean athletes to learn and play basketball since it isn't as popular in those cultures. It's probably also just easier, cheaper, and more popular to recruit and scout American athletes over foreign ones. There are undoubtedly fewer opportunities for a foreign athlete to prove to an American franchise that he has the requisite skills to compete for a spot on a NBA roster.
Long answer: No, it doesn't cause you to suddenly be a person who believes in racial superiority.Fantastic! You are capable of saying something that's not fundamentally wrong on occasion!
And it's all irrelevant anyway. It doesn't mater if he's a racist or not. The NBA's labor pool believe he's racist. The NBA's customers believe he's racist. The NBA is in the business of making cash hand-over-fist, and they need customers and a labor pool to do that. He's got to go.It's not irrelevant. We all know that the people think he's racist. We argue that it's an unfair and uneducated position.
Yao Ming is a Korean woman?No, Yao Ming is Chinese. As for the gender, I would hate to attach any labels to Yao Ming without first asking Yao Ming and receiving a certified response stating Yao Ming's preferred pronouns and gender identity.
If you can't figure out the difference between race discrimination and talent discrimination, then you're an idiot. Korean and Chinese citizens are welcome to play basketball in the NBA if they are talented enough to do it. That there are few Korean and Chinese citizens with the requisite talent [...]Whoa, whoa, slow down. Are you saying there generally are physical differences between races?
I wouldn't pull my daughter out of her school and send her to a new one just because I got some phone calls from some racists telling me that they didn't like Indian people. That's absurd.It is also irrelevant. We're not asking what you'd do, we're asking if it's a racist thing to do.
And, yes, I think that submitting to racists and behaving as they command you to behave is probably going to cause you to do some racist things.Be specific. In Tom's scenario, would pulling your daughter out of the school make you a racist?
I didn't claim otherwise.Rooster did (or at least implied it), which is what I'm strongly objecting to.
Common sense and human nature dictate otherwise. The woman could get someone far more attractive (on the outside, and probably on the inside) than him.I'll agree that she doesn't love him (she said so herself[1], so it's not a big claim to make), but I see no reason to suspect that he doesn't love or care for her.
Do you think he actually cares for or loves his girlfriend?I would assume nothing else without good reason. It would be (and is, in your case) quite disrespectful to throw an accusation like that wildly.
Does anyone else find it amusingly hypocritical that a guy who made such racist remarks has a mixed race girlfriend?She doesn't seem to believe he's racist, either. It seems that, if anything, this is evidence against him being racist.
'I think the things he says are not the things he feels,' she said. 'Anyone can say anything in the heat of the moment.'
Actually, the Daniel's library is up and Daniel claims to now have 10 times as many documents as before.Interesting. Well, we most likely will update to reflect that - the more public the resources, the better.
Out of curiosity, will you be copying over updates and new finds that Daniel uploads?I think that scenario is very unlikely either way (given they don't even have a library right now), but we haven't decided on that.
But shouldn't entertainers and artists have the freedom to charge what they want?They're not me, so fuck their freedoms.

Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted FantasyYou're not even trying at this point, are you?
Larger time spans are necessary to view the overall changes in climate over the years.Then why did you present a graph with a significantly shorter timespan?
Don't waste your time with him. He doesn't get it.Distances above/inside the equator are shorter, below/outside they are longer. Please explain.
