But its a fact that he without fail always seems to be on the side of any racial argument that a white supremacist would also find themself

Every damn time.

1) Blatantly untrue.

2) You have a movie based on an established continuity... and then proceed to make drastic changes for pointless reasons. Unlike Leo's blatantly racist complaint about the casting in a brand new franchise, comic fans *want* movies which have some comic book accuracy. Instead we get characters who vow not to kill routinely killing people, just flat-out weird casting changes where the character bears no resemblance to the comic counterpart, and an aversion to costumes (or, in other cases, taking the name of a franchise then literally changing everything in it so it bears no real resemblance to the source material other than the main character's power -- which everybody now has -- and a major twist but even the twist is different). Which again, all have to do with original content whereas Leo just has a thing against white people without realizing that Egyptians are classified as white people.

Didn't condemn them either during the discussion of Charlottesville.

And I didn't condemn Occupy Wall Street for the lawful parts of its protest. Because that would be condemning free speech, the cornerstone of all democracies and the most important part of the Bill of Rights. All other rights in a democracy derive from freedom of speech.

However, for a guy who claims to have the interests of minorities at heart, I'll note that *you* didn't complain when black-owned businesses were looted and burned to the ground. Instead you praised BLM for doing the sort of stuff that the KKK did.

That's not going into the fact that this is a first-time depiction of race for one continuity whereas another continuity has 50+ years of depicting characters as being a different race

You heard it here, folks: Norse gods have been depicted for 50+ years as being exclusively white, while Egyptian gods have never been depicted as anything other than white prior to the 2016 film.

I miss when you put effort into your trolling instead of going for a low-brow pretend misunderstanding.

what zeus doesn't realize is that literally any other candidate would have been far superior to trump

literally any

other

candidate.

What Helly is claiming is that Carly "Don't Talk to Russia" Fiorina, Ted "Let's See if Sand Can Glow & Abolish the IRS" Cruz, Ben Carson, Bernie Moondog Sanders, Jill "Quantitative Easing is a Magic Trick" Stein, Gary "I'm having another Aleppo moment" Johnson, Hillary "Cold War" Clinton, etc, would have been superior. Or, to put it more succinctly, he's saying he doesn't know dick about politics.

Say what you will about Trump, the least qualified man on that stage was Ben Carson. The most extreme candidates on that stage were Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders. And oh, you don't like Trump's tax plan? Half of the GOP candidates wanted to push through a flat tax, with Ben Carson advocating it as a Biblical "Tithe." So that's the kind of stuff you're into?

The last couple seasons had their moments, but I was overall disappointed. I hate what they did to Andy. Made him so unlikable and just an all around awful person. I hated Nelly and never found her funny.

But the last couple episodes were great.

As opposed to the Andy who punched his fist through walls and called Jim "Big Tuna"? >_>

Any's character got re-written a few times and no iteration was particularly likable. At least angry Andy was something different, though.

And yeah, Nelly was the worst.

RomanGhost posted...

Yeah, the whole Andy thing doesn't make that much sense. Maybe if they'd made it a more gradual transition, maybe, but him becoming a complete asshole didn't make much sense in the amount of time they gave it.

He started off as a complete asshole. He got a massive revision following the writers strike where they made him less of a jerk and more of a flake. Then towards the end it really felt like they were trying to write Andy as Michael. Granted, as an insensitive boss, he certainly had some great moments.

I considered the whole thing even-steven. The colour of their skin was only relevant because he was racist. Some armed hoodlum getting killed in the midst of committing a crime isn't a crime as much as defending yourself and your property. I'd have done the same thing. I could add a fifth notch to that old sword I have ;)

The problem was he had *already* subdued the assailant and then killed him in an unusual and brutal manner. Even convenience store clerks who shoot a suspect they have on the ground wind up getting charged with murder because, once you have the guy down, it's no longer self-defense... well, unless you're in a slasher movie then yeah, you kinda gotta finish it. You don't knock the guy down and not grab his knife, instead running for a returning car because you're just going to get your throat slit before they see you.

Don't get me wrong, the show definitely dropped somewhat in quality after Michael Scott left, but I still really enjoyed watching it and thought it was funny. Now, though, there's just a bunch of too-real depressing shit and the occasional laugh.

After he left was when I actually got into the show. And my favorite episode ("Dwight K Schrute, Acting Manager") is a post-Michael episode. My second favorite is "Sexual Harassment Training" which was a Michael episode, though.

Given that it's a troll topic, it's how Americans who like to troll pretend to feel.

And Trump.

Overlooking that Trump has apparently enjoyed trolling at times (and therefore would fall into that bracket -- as would some other previous presidents), in all fairness the investigation *is* eating up a lot of FBI resources which could be deployed elsewhere. However, there's obviously no guarantee that those resources would be used to do a better job identifying and preventing spree shooters.

It's kinda hypocritical to punish killers by killing them.

No, it's proportionate response. Not every equivalent reaction is hypocritical.

That begs the question, do you think people who execute someone who was later found to be innocent also deserve the death penalty?

Also does that mean that thieves should just be robbed? >_>

yutterh posted...

The death penalty isn't just a deterrent it's there to get rid of those that are unsavable or commit terrible crimes.

You don't know whether somebody is "unsavable" until you try to save them. More importantly, punishments can't bring back the deceased so there's no productive benefit to an eye-for-an-eye approach.

It's funny to me that the argument always seems to follow what we see in this topic.

One side says we need common-sense gun law reform. The other said says you can't take their guns away, which makes no fucking sense.

That's not realistic and it's stupid. Almost nobody is actually arguing taking guns away. Stop with this slippery slope bull shit. You've got cars, planes, chemicals, and all sorts of stuff that's highly regulated. We just made it safer for everyone by making that stuff harder to get.

This.

Restrictions, background checks, etc =/= the end to your Constitutional rights. Youre still free to pursue the ownership of firearms, theres simply more protections in place.

I like the idea of insuring firearms. There will never be a single wholesale solution to gun violence, but we have to do something.

Question: What would firearm insurance accomplish?

Given that it's a quintessential bad-faith argument, it's basically the equivalent of the jellybean test for voting: It's just a backdoor method of violating a constitutionally protected right which, in all likelihood, would get struck down in a heartbeat by SCOTUS.

It is bizarre that zeus finds one black guy playing a Norse character less weird than a bunch of white performers playing Egyptian gods, historical controversy aside. But hey, thats what age does for you I guess.

It's strange that Cacciato is trolling... no, wait, it isn't. While I'm happy that you apparently believe in the ancient gods given that you acknowledge it as "historical controversy," what makes more sense: Having all of the gods in a given Pantheon being a single race or having them arbitrarily be different races? That's not going into the fact that this is a first-time depiction of race for one continuity whereas another continuity has 50+ years of depicting characters as being a different race. idk, seems a little strange that you'd pick the position you went with. But I guess that's what trolling does for you.

But hey, let's finish this argument off with the coup de gras -- the fact that Egyptians *are* classified as white:
https://www.census.gov/topics/population/race/about.html

White A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa.

So were the Egyptian gods white? Well, if they were like the Egyptians themselves they would be, because the racial construct of whiteness literally includes Egyptians.

Wrong dough? Pizza dough? What's "pizza dough"? And who says the toppings have to be broken up into chunks? If I made a mini-pizza that was 2 inches across and topped it with an approximately 2-inch diameter salami, why would it magically become a pizza when I unnecessarily cut up the salami?

Are you arguing that pizzas have solid-piece toppings covering the whole thing? Because THAT'S controversial!

If you really think a "possible military response against Russia" would result in another Cold War, you might want to rethink that. With as much nuclear power that Russia has, a fact that Hillary well-knows, why the hell would she go poking the bear with a stick?

WastelandCowboy posted...

Your buddy Trump seems to be following that philosophy well, especially when it comes to North Korea and by association, China.

Again demonstrating your ignorance with this silly comparison. Given how much crap you crammed in that stupid analogy, it's likely the turducken of stupid arguments.

As for China, it doesn't support NK's nuclear ambitions either -- publicly, anyway -- which you'd know if you bothered paying attention to the news.

WastelandCowboy posted...

Like I've said before, I didn't pay attention because this election was a shit-show between two assholes. However, I still voted for Hillary, the lesser of the two assholes. At least with Hillary (and her emails!), we'd still have someone with political experience, and not someone who gets his information from Fox and Friends and subsequently tweets how he feels about it.

And yet you feel qualified to comment on Hillary's stances despite having less grounding than even alt-news viewers who make Fox and Friends look good by comparison?

Lol, wut? Hillary nuking Missouri? How'd you come up with that asinine example? Pulled it out of your ass again, did you?

Now that's just mean. Comparing me to Erik? What the fuck man?

Well, so far you've admitted to not really learning about the positions you're arguing and then voting for Hillary solely on the basis she's spent longer in politics (I suppose you must have voted for McCain over Obama for that same reason). Granted, the comparison may be a little flawed in the sense Erik would never admit something like that.

Dumb argument.

Kinda describing this whole topic. This is probably the most ridiculous case of apples and oranges ever. All of that testing is designed to assess the user's ABILITY to operate the vehicle effectively -- the equivalent would be like making sure that gun owners are reasonably good shots, which doesn't do anything to stem the issue. More importantly, however, driving a vehicle is NOT a constitutionally protected right.

Even the insurance argument could likely be thrown out on the grounds that it violates the constitution by creating an undue burden, considering that voter ID laws are regularly rejected on the basis of imposing a much smaller cost to the user.

Or are you saying that because you paid exactly zero attention to the primaries and general election where it didn't concern negative spin around Trump? I know you didn't start following politics until recently, but c'mon.

No, because you're throwing around ridiculous claims that Hillary would have caused another Cold War, an outrageous claim that one woman's actions could cause a stand-off nuclear war between the USA and Russia, despite Congress being in place to prevent one person from having such power (which coincidentally, is what's preventing Trump from pushing forward with his agenda.

You assume that the ACA would be expanded. You assume the tax plan would look different. You assume the DACA would have likely seen a fix. You assume that the markets would be lower. You assume that she would have pushed equal pay bills. All assumptions with little basis. Unless you are psychic and know the alternate future better than political analysts and economists.

[Weaksauce trolling edited out.]

Except it's not a ridiculous claim. She had specifically advocated tougher sanctions and a possible military response against Russia. The fact that you're absolutely clueless when it comes to politics doesn't make political opinions you don't believe (due to your own ignorance) absurd. If you didn't have concerns about her foreign policy, it's only because you weren't paying attention.

Plus she would have forced through several pointless equal pay bills which would have the unintended (or perhaps intended) effect of hurting male salaries to ensure that men as an aggregate earned the same as women. Other than that, business as usual.

Still less weird than Idris Elba as a Norse god.

We shouldve guessed thats the one youd be upset about.

You mean I dislike an arbitrary racial change of an established comic book character who goes back like 50 years? Yeah, it's kinda stupid.

Zeus shut the fuck up with your racist bullshit.

Accuses the guy who literally made a topic to complain about the color of peoples' skin.

If anyone's racist, it's the ones who cast a black guy as a glorified doorman.

This, tbh. It's also a phenomenally poor use of Idris Elba. But hey, maybe he didn't have enough time to star in a bigger role, what with him being busy with 2-episode seasons of Luther.

Some people don't want to change

...which is why a system is needed to change them. After all, few people can change themselves.

She attacked him in a place which could do serious, permanent damage so he punched her. She then tried to attack him and got knocked through the glass. She shouldn't have struck him and, when she decided to continue the fight, that's the sort of shit that happens. Gender shouldn't give somebody a free pass for bad behavior.

While a bit overboard (especially since they were on cement... although she kicked in the gut first), that was a beautiful takedown.

Opening up his campaign by calling illegal immigrants from Mexico "a bunch of murderers and rapists", calling for a travel ban for Muslim countries and proposing building a wall to keep out illegal immigrants south of the border.

Considering that an illegal murdered a woman in broad daylight not that long after he made that statement, he may have a point. Additionally, there *are* Mexican gangs coming into the US. Otherwise, there's no issue with wanting to block ILLEGAL immigration, which is something pretty much every nation does and more progressive nations than us are stricter on it. People sneaking into Canada typically don't get to live there for decades.

As for the travel ban, the countries were on a list compiled by Obama.

During his presidency, there's been the repeated attempts at getting those travel bans, the "shithole countries" statement, Sean Spicer, former White House Press Secretary, saying that Hitler never used chemicals on his own people while justifying that air strike in Syria, "good people on both sides", "sons of bitches", having Bannon in his staff and having Mike Pence as his VP and making it a goal to erase all of Obama's accomplishments/plans, whether or not if they were good or bad.

Alleged shithole countries statement and, if we're being perfectly frank, the nations he's referring to aren't exactly pleasant places. I'm not sure why you think "Mike Pence as his VP" is some argument for anything. If you mean something by it, you might want to clarify it.

And the charges of "erasing Obama's legacy" are ridiculous propaganda. It's no different than Obama trying to close Gitmo or reverse Bush-era changes. Or Bush trying to reverse Clinton-era changes.
