On the contrary, natural selection only gets rid of that which is unfit.

As the only theory which fits the available evidence, evolution is the only theory that could possibly survive the process of natural selection.

Checkmate Darwin.

"For the vast majority of Muslims this is not a subjective question at all."

That's a contradiction in terms.

By referring to a "majority" and/or a specific group (in this instance: Muslims) you are defining subjects. It MUST therefore be subjective.

Tru dat.

Middle East Gamers website gave LBP a review score of 97 and made no mention of any "offensive" material.

Most muslims just want to play awesome games like the rest of us. Unfortunately, they have to suffer as much as we do due to all the sanctimonious pricks who claim to speak on their behalf.

I agree with your sentiments, but as a point of note:

Jesus did [i]not[/i] suck off men but Muhammad [i]did[/i] molest children. One of his wives was only 6 years old when they got married, and the marriage was consummated when she was just 9 (Muhammad was in his 50s).

Admittedly, what he did was not considered bad in those days, but in the modern world his actions would likely see him fall prey to a well-deserved stairwell nonce-bashing.

What's wrong with being disrespectful to people for their beliefs? I disrespect Nazis because I think their beliefs are ridiculous. I disrespect Muslims (and all other religious types) because I think their beliefs are ridiculous too. That doesn't make them bad people. I even have religious friends myself. I just know better than to discuss certain topics with them.

The Qur'an states that adulterers should be stoned to death and Jews should be killed. The "Prophet" had sex with a 9-year old child. These are all things that I find offensive. By your (spurious) logic, all copies of the Qur'an should be retracted and a new version released with all the offensive material omitted. Do you see now why your argument makes no sense?

Clearly, you just have a rather unsophisticated moral sense that is in need of cultivation. Try reading Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil as a starting point.

"Rob Zombie's remake of Halloween might offend purists, but horror fans with an open mind should enjoy the film nevertheless."

A mind so open that their brain has fallen out?

Among all the terrible remakes of classic '70s movies, Halloween is probably the worst of the lot. At least The Wicker Man remake made me laugh ("My eyes! My eyes!").The remakes of TCM and Death Race are masterpieces compared to Rob Zombie's cinematic atrocity. We're talking Rollerball-remake levels of awfulness here.

In the original, 'The Shape' was a force of pure, unfathomable evil. In the remake, he is a redneck kid who kills people because he was bullied at school. One of the greatest horror films ever made reduced to a generic serial killer movie.

House of 1000 Corpses was bad but showed potential. Devil's Rejects was better but still failed to deliver the goods. With Halloween, Rob Zombie crushed any hopes I had that he might one day make a good movie.

Instead of getting a trophy for completing the game, you should get your money back and an apology from the creators.

Most people still wouldn't bother playing it through to the end. It's just that bad.

I care. It's refreshing to see money invested in a game that takes place in the real world without a hackneyed military or sci-fi theme.
