Comment Re:James Randi is a fraud (Score 1) 274

What most people call 'spirituality' is really a combination of mirror neurons, critical thinking (through good or flawed methodologies), and the fact that humans are social animals.

The reason it seems weird and spooky to some people is because to make it in a capitalist democracy, you kind of need to be a sociopath - there is no room for compassion.

Sorry but the US does not have the high moral ground. The US forces all other nations to comply with its copyright, drug criminalisation and intellectual property laws through trade agreements. Countries that refuse to adopt US policy through the WHO, UN, IMF etc are given economic sanctions to make them comply. All of this is done for the benefit of American companies, making it 'safe' for them to operate overseas. Whatever way you look at it from the outside, the US is the evil rogue nation in the world.

The thing is, playing GT5 with a steering wheel and pedals will actually make you a better driver of real cars, to a point. Most noticeable when something goes wrong in a real car (if you've been playing GT5 without traction control or stability management) and you instinctively know what way to turn the wheel out of a slide. You are trying to compare simulators (GT, flight sims) to arcade games (GH, RB). Better off saying 'playing Outrun wont make you a better driver, like playing Space Invaders won't make you a better pilot.
