The reason why a Chinese Court is willing to enforce Disney’s IP is directly related to Disney opening a large park in China, and agreeing to play by China’s rules about content. Chinese Courts have been just another way to extort western companies for years.

Chocofro was great, not just because Chocofro (though that was indeed amazing), but because he had an actually compelling motivation, and such. His connection to his kid, even in the short few scenes we saw of them, was way better written then Lightning’s to her sister.

(Lightning was also a terrible, boring character. To be fair, so was pretty much everyone in that game but Sazh.)

That was never really a possibility. The Vientecinco de Mayo was a priority target, and had a sub hunting it as well.. A Carrier is a large, very slow moving entity. The British Subs would have neutralized itvery quickly after the Belegrano was. Combined with the loss of Belegrano, the Argentinian Government probably…

The issue is that while it was diplomatically controversial, it wasn’t tactically. The Belegrano had no chance. The Belegrano didn’t know it was in danger till the Torpedo’s hit, and its escorts never really stood a chance of damaging the more advanced British Submarines. The Vientecinco de Mayo was just as viable a…

The withdrawal of the the Argentine Fleet was recognition of a tactical reality, that the British Submarine Fleet, which the Argentinians had no counter to, could sink their ships at will. In the meantime, the Submarines operated by the Argentinians were fewer in number, and very outdated.

Look, I know you are mad about your Socialist Grandpa not winning the nomination, and think he would have won over the proletariat, swept the republicans out of power, and installed a new order... but you are kidding yourself.

Not going to lie... this entire spiel is kind of founded on bullshit. Don’t get me wrong, we need Criminal Justice Reform. But...

Lawyers are not good. Lawyers are not evil. Lawyers are a tool. They extend the reach and range of your desires. If you hire them for asshole reasons, then they’ll do their best to make your asshole dreams come true. If you hire them for good reasons, they’ll do good things, like uphold the rights of minorities…

Ummm... why is it a disgrace that she is in jail? She shot someone who was sleeping on the couch. She deliberately shot him in the head. She killed someone who had no chance to defend themselves, and who wasn’t posing an imminent threat. It doesn’t matter what the circumstances, that’s illegal. No matter how awful…

Every game should have a train suplex.

I really do think that any group that has men in charge of children will have sexual abuse problems

So... Canadians pollute the air more, and this is a point for Canada?

Yes, yes I can. There is no such thing as “more profits then they really need.” Companies are literally under an ethical duty to maximize legal profits for their shareholders. To do things that don’t increase profits is a breach of fiduciary duty.

Actually, I’m not okay with anyone dying, on either side. I much prefer no one dying.

And an individual who isn’t following commands, who is reaching for something out of view of the Officers sight, who tries to grab the officer’s gun, they are threats.

Innocent until proven guilty isn’t a legal term. If you are talking about Beyond a Reasonable Doubt, that is the standard for a court room. In these situations, the standard is ‘reasonable suspicion’ and probable cause.

Actually? 1. That quote appears nowhere in the opinion of Plummer. 2. That is an accurate quote from John Bad Elk, however, that case has been rendered irrelevant by statutory enactments which remove the common law right of resistance. The Federal Common Law was removed from existence by Erie, which destroyed the…

De-escalation works at times. It is another piece of the toolkit.

Everyone is. And when Police Officer’s kill anyone, unjustified, they should be tried in a court of law.
