I mean, it made a billion dollars. To me in the same way Transformers sequels were making billions of dollars. But hey, lots of people seemed to like it unironically, so I know I'm in the minority.  

I mean, I enjoyed watching it. It was a popcorn flick, it had probl-ems, it wasn't an objectively good movie, but it was fun.

I'm not sure if I want this guy to receive the death penalty or to be killed in prison by fellow inmates.  Hopefully he goes to a prison with a heavy Latino population.

Guys like these are why im not against the death penalty.

You got to read between the lines. It's there.

To these guys, not condemning BLM (which always meant Bureau of Land Management to me) is “perpetuating violence against cops”.

Obama perpetuated violence against police officers. Sorry, he doesn't get a free pass.

He really, really didn’t.

Chuck Norris didn't become a meme because he's a better fighter than everyone else. It's because his contracts said he had to be. 

to be fair, Norris is a world champion in contact Kyukushin Karate, and and 3-4th degree in brazilian jiu jitsu. I would dare say he is absolutely one of the best actual fighters in hollywood.

I played a video game about this kind of "libertarian paradise at sea" many years ago.  It didn't end well.

The documentary starring Kevin Costner was horrible as well.

Tulsi harder on Harris than Assad on a layup question. Sad!

You can hold that he is these things and still not want to push for intervention in Syria or war against his benefactors in Tehran. 

I love how these fools equate meeting someone to supporting them. The mental gymnastics of politics.

They weren’t playing dodge ball, the game they were playing doesn’t involve throwing the ball at anybody, and the alleged incident happened after the game was over. They weren’t playing sports, but even if they were, if one player did something outside of the norms of the game with the intent to injure another player, it wouldn’t be a protected action. Which is why the information presented in the article isn’t sufficient to determine the validity of the charge. You are making a lot of assumptions to arrive at your conclusion.

 

Anyhow, the charges were dismissed.

No, you assumed they were playing some other game. Every report says it was dodgeball. And your point is still ridiculous, because ten year olds miss. He didn’t have to be aiming for his head to hit it.

its seriously fucked up to defend the decision to charge him in the first place.

Florida used to have an "intangible assets" tax on the fair market value of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc. as of December 31 and the "constitutionality" of that tax was never in doubt.  How is that tax or even the estate tax any different conceptually than a "wealth tax"?

Because the wealth tax “attacks” the very people who fill their coffers. C’mon, you know damn well a wealth tax isn’t going to happen. Neither side of congress would vote for it. They aren’t going to vote to diminish their own wealth.

Gabbard is gorgeous.  Her and Buttigieg would make a good looking couple.  

She is stunning. She’s also a war veteran, extremely intelligent, and insultingly called a Russian plant and Assad apologists by progressives who hate her. None of it could be further from the truth, and she’s the best candidate out there, but the progressives need their false narratives as much as Trump does.

Let me make my point as simple as possible, she isn’t criticizing Israel when she says they are hypnotizing the world, she is slandering Jews. Anti-semites love that they can just substitute Israel for Jew and say the same things they used to explicitly say about Jews, but get cover because now they are just taking issue with the nation. And people fall for it over and over.

 

This can all be true while recognizing policies and practices of Israel that are objectionable.

Israel and Jew are interchangeable. It’s them that insist it’s a Jewish state. 

The Israeli’s (or Jews, take your pick) literally have parades calling for the genocide of Muslim Iranians, and in support of of soldiers who murder muslims in cold blood, hailing them as heroes. Let’s not pretend they haven’t earned the ire of Muslims worldwide. They propagate the same hate that the Nazi’s destroyed them with. And the only reason they don’t create their own holocaust is because the rest of the world is against it. The Jewish state is steeped in hate, and it’s time they were treated like the hateful people they are.

and yes, I feel the same about Iran, but at least they have a reason to be mad, they had their land stolen with a few pen strokes. And I feel the same about America’s support of Saudi Arabia as well. It’s nothing to do with race or religion. It is all about the way the western world ignores their crimes, and even tries to stifle criticism of them. The house even voted to condemn BDS, which is disgusting.

So yes, “hypnotized” might be a trope, but it’s also accurate.

Yeah, i'd say Fox is pretty mainstream. Its the most watched news channel.

These weren’t athletes playing a sport, they were kids on a playground. If one child intended to hurt the other, that isn’t some protected action. Even within the realm of sports, an intentional violent action outside the norms of the sport IS cause for lawsuits and even in some cases criminal charges.

 

But again, this wasn’t a sports competition so none of that is relevant.

It was children playing a game of dodgeball (which is a sport, there are leagues), and a kid got hit in the head with an inflatable rubber ball, not a rock. The whole point of the game is to hit other kids. 

I seriously can't believe people are arguing that this could be a crime.

There is nothing to back that up. More so trump has done loads to alienate the moderates (it’s why his numbers are far below when he was elected).

 

You are right that gop won’t care. They’ve shown that they’re complacent with all of this.

Trump has never had good numbers, but he has numbers in the states that matter. And Pelosi isn't impeaching because she knows that it will only make republicans turn out in droves, and centrists vote republican. The far left has it's own problems, and i'd say that many centrists would rather vote for a bad person than a far left candidate with what they consider bad policy. Student loan forgiveness, UBI talk, green new deal, all that stuff is just pushing moderates further right. The right might be horrible, but they are unified. The left has multiple parties within a party, and they hate each other as much as they hate the right.

Helicopter parents aren't so much around anymore, that was more of a gen X thing.

absolutely not. Todays parents (and schools) are terrified their children might get hurt, or get their feelings hurt. Instead of just letting them learn on their own, they try to remove every bit of danger. Society is safer than it's ever, and children are babied and fawned over more than they ever have been. Discipline has dissapeared in favor of feelings, and god forbid a child be around anything slightly dangerous!

It could be, if after doing it the game makes you do an unskippable 8-hour CGI hearing on your actions, followed by being court-marshalled and perma-banned from the game.

 

I agree with the sentiment here though, that games shouldn't be dealing with serious issues simply because they are not able to. FPS games should be focused on shooting monsters and aliens. Leave human enemies out of it for the most part. Even the most-evil human enemies (like WWII Germans) were mostly just men conscripted or tricked into serving their country, and didn't hold the pure-evil beliefs of their leaders. 

While I agree with some of what you said, the idea of no human enemies in games is just flat out ridiculous.
