Nonsense. A tazer will drop someone in their tracks quite effectively, so just like a gun if you nail them first then you win.

I’d like to expand on point 8. It’s isn’t simply that the show demonstrates the horrors of war or its dehumanizing effect. That’s been done a lot in fact, and it’s a recurring theme in many if not most of the classic Japanese science fiction works such as Gundam, Macross, and Yamato. I would even go so far as to say…

This has to be from a blooper reel, because it looks like she had a wardrobe malfunction there.

He made part of a third one. Everything you and others hate about Thunderdome came from a second director who had to step in when Miller lost a loved one and quit due to mourning. The film is pretty damned amazing despite that, and once you know the story it’s very easy to pick out what parts were done by that other…

No, the poster responded to the article, someone replied to him, and a bit of verbal misunderstanding ensued until they realized they were pretty much on the same page. And when he realized he was talking about the nature and function of the female body to a female, he was like “oh shit umm yeah you already know all…

Except I’m not motivated by hatred but instead by empathy with their extreme suffering that to my knowledge there is no way to relieve. In their situation I would pray for a swift death to come and deliver me from that hell. As i said I truly hope I’m wrong and things are not as bad there as I’ve been led to believe,…

How can you forget Lemmy fucking Kilmister?

I’m not trying to justify anything. I’m coming to a (tentative) conclusion based on what I know and placing myself in that situation, how I’d feel about it.

From what I have read, there’s virtually no food, no medical care to speak of, inadequate shelter, no infrastructure, and life there is essentially akin to a hard…

It’s not the propaganda that concerns me, though that does indeed suck. It’s the fact that there’s zero infrastructure and no food and life there is essentially a hard labor open air prison where you’re lucky to scrape by in abject misery with no medical care, inadequate shelter, and constant near starvation —when of…

From everything I’ve read of the conditions there, if I was living that way I wouldn’t just be ok with it, I wouldn’t just welcome it, I would PRAY for it. I empathisize deeply with their suffering and I don’t see any way out for them. Like I said, I hope and pray I’m wrong but everything I’ve read says otherwise and…

You’re absolutely right. I guess those of us who were there get it, and the others just plain don’t. As Dave Mustaine said, “Well that was back in the day, and if you weren’t there, it doesn’t matter anyway, because you wouldn’t understand”.

On the topic, I really want to reccomend the movie PIXELS as it was really…

And what we’re all trying to say is THAT’S NOT EVEN CLOSE TO TRUE. At the time, video games were a massive cultural phenomenon that were THE pop culture sensation of the era. Movies, music, and television along with the news media were scrambling to embrace the wave to the extent that even now arcades and arcade games…

I hate to say this, but would anyone really be upset if we just went ahead and glassed North Korea? China is fed up with their bullshit, the only reason they support them at all is they’re terrified of having to take in wave upon wave of starving refugees with zero clue how to survive in the modern world, and they’re…

I looked at the staff. It was dead in my hand. The staff had failed me again.

It may have dominated the box office, but it wasn’t the best film in theaters that year. This was.

You missed the important thing to get offended over, here, which is the fact that DC is still pushing that bullshit bad-fanfic idea of Superman and Wonder Woman in a relationship. I don’t know which is worse, Clark / Diana or Bruce / Diana but anyone pitching a story with either of those lazy, uncreative and…

THIS right fucking here. All the yes!

You can get insulted by whatever the hell you like, and others have every bit as much right to say you’re acting like a thin-skinned oversensitive whiner who gets off on being offended because it gives them that “holier than thou” rush of validation.

LOL I used that exact example too before I read your post. Great minds think alike sometimes :D

It’s a ship name. They can call it whatever they want, including for example the USS Constantinople despite that the real city was changed to Istanbul. You can have the USS New Amsterdam, or the USS Edo, or whatever. It’s named after a city, but not necessarily the -current version- of that city. They could be going…
