"What are you talking about? A muslim is a follower of Islam. I can be a muslim as a white man if I choose to follow islam."
My own post even clearly says 'although not limited to a specific race'. Please read it again.
Now, imagine this situation: Imagine you are on a bus and you see a brown man in tracksuit bottoms and hoody who is approached shortly after the Brexit vote by three white skinheads brandishing pocket knives and telling t...
@yeahokwhatever I've heard of those and both of them are tragic. But they aren't somehow inherently indicative of muslims being inherently dangerous, even if and when those things are codified in its texts (we could take issue with most major world religions if what was written in scripture was the basis for attacking those that follow the religion).
I never said you couldn't point out an example of a muslim inciting an incident (though that particular shooting ...
You said 'muslim is not a race'. That's quite different from saying 'Islam' is not a race.
Islam is a theology, 'muslim' is the group of people who subscribe to that theology who, although not limited to a specific race, are nonetheless widely categorised and singled out by it (hence why this is treated as a race issue).
"Then what the fuck is the problem?"
There's a reason many have laws against hate speech, even though it alone doesn't hurt anyone directly: To prevent people from being put in danger by the perceived legitimisation of hate crime. From what I gather he didn't say he hated Islam, he said he hated muslims: that's a very different thing.
Notice how after both Trump's victory and Brexit that the US/UK saw a surge in racist incide...
"Also, where's the peaceful Muslims standing up against forced child marriages and raping in many muslim theocratic countries."
In apathy, just like everyone else in the western nations when the news isn't about them. And the people selling themselves as peaceful (i.e. the people's voices you are hearing) are in westernised nations, just like you, and also not throwing gays of buildings or raping women. i.e. that proves they are peaceful.

"And far as respect, respect is not automatically given. It has to be earned."
Tetsujin is talking about respect in the form of displaying common decency and extending cordiality to another person, rather than 'respect' as a sort of awed, adoration.
Unfortunately the English language doesn't have separate words for these quite different concepts.
'More acceptable' and 'acceptable' are two different things. But putting that aside, I can provide the reason (two and a half actually):
1) Consider the relative power of Christians and positions Christians occupy and the actual effectiveness of anyone able to hurt them versus those of considerably smaller and less powerful religious communities. It's really hard for hatred of Christians in a culture that is predominantly Christian to result in anything ...
Upscaling isn't inherently problematic. It is when your console costs more (or the same amount) as the competition and has to rely on it whereas the competition just runs native. That was exactly the problem with Xbox One games running at a lower resolution compared to their PS4 counterparts: it's poor value.
Funnily enough, it would mean the only way it would happen is if a console platform holder paid for it to happen.
Wat?
So, is this one of those VR games where you have to physically walk around? And, if so, does this mean the person touching her virtual avatar had to come very close to her in real life (like, close enough that you could tell)? Because that's very different from two people sitting away from each other, it's also different from being on the receiving end of what a CPU is doing.
And then you have to factor in what the game is trying to evoke as well. For example, being...
I think that kind of thing is more of a publisher decision: It's easier to market a game both in screenshots and trailers when it looks amazing.
It's actually not as odd as you might think. I've not been into Curry's specifically but I have taken in consoles to stores selling TVs before to try them out and most staff are quite accommodating.
They had it playable at EGX in Birmingham a little while back.
Shame you can't actually see the difference. But the variance at all shows that the HDR mode is at least functioning, even if we can't appreciate the fruits of that function.
What is it exactly that Tomb Raider borrowed from Uncharted because I can't think of a single thing. Do you mean the adventuring aspect that is based more on films like Indiana Jones/generations of legends? Because those elements were never original to Tomb Raider.
Or do you mean more general concepts that Tomb Raider helped establish within the action-adventure genre such as moving a character in 3D/advanced animation? Almost none of those things Uncharted uses as is -...
Yeah, I was dead certain from the off that it would be 720p because from a battery life perspective it makes perfect sense.

You have a point, but everything we've heard (as far as I know) suggests that the only thing the Scorpio will bring the table is native 4k across all games, not variable performance/graphics profiles as the Pro has. The only thing MS has said performance wise is that the Scorpio will not have need to drop to such low dynamic resolutions.
I'm going to preface this with saying I don't like Islam, or any of the other major Christo-Judaic religions either because horrific acts are done (and continue to be done) both by appropriating and correctly applying their teachings. Both by extremists and the institutional bodies that run them. That, and they are basically a huge tax haven for those running them. Heck, I might even go as far as calling these religions abjectively evil on principle.
And, I can agr...
