Arrow: STAY AWAY FROM MY SON!!
Prometheus: NO! HE LIKES ME BETTER!

I think the problem is that if that was his issue he could/would have said that to Lyla, rather than deciding that he was being hypocritical. If he was being, or even felt (when accused of it) like he was being hypocritical then it's unlikely that that was his thinking. It could have been, because that is a really…

Ollie: So we're trapped down here!? Isn't there any way we could get out?
Felicity: Well, I guess we could call Malcolm Merlin and ask him how he..
Ollie: OTHER THAN THAT.

Are we sure he didn't? If he had would any of them have read the 900 page manual he left behind? Even Felicity would probably have just focused on the computers and stuff and started ignoring him after the 18th different feature that had nothing to do with her after he described in an excited voice

Arrowstove?

I always hope that when they do that the other characters will just go "no, this is our room too you should include is in it or just go somewhere else." They never seem to though.

If you assume (1) a fair bit of talent, (2) an awful lot of intelligence, and (3) literally those two things are all he does it seems seems like it would be a reasonable possibility. Even lawyers do things outside of lawyering, after all.
The most unrealistic part of it all is that he had a wife: even if he was…

The first season was mostly an origin story drawn out for a while as Barry figured out what he could do and then his mentor who was helping him turned out to be evil. It's not hard to imagine the season boiled down into a single movie, really.
Once that ended it turned out they really had no idea what to do with the…

So basically Diggle is Ollie only without any self doubt or introspection or anything that would maybe stop him from doing wildly awful things right?

Any attempt to be fair to the nonsense they spout is basically a reductio generating machine.

That's the norm for kinds of sciences she was involved in anyway - for other disciplines it can up longer. But yeah, there are people who fail defenses but it's not common, especially because having the defense in the first place means your advisor is vouching for you to their department.

No really - the actual story doesn't say exactly why those people are bad. (There's a story about him protecting his guests from a mob at the potential expense of his family, which shows how good he is, but that's it.) That sentence is about as far as the Bible goes, and it's got nothing whatsoever to do with rules…

"…ten years down the drain and a pile of debt as a legacy.

why so many men don’t realize how poorly the idea that they’re
sex-crazed beings who can’t help themselves reflects on me…I just don’t
get it)

Well to be fair to them as long as those precious babies are kept in a cryogenically frozen embryonic state none of them will die, whereas if you start actually letting fertilized cells try to implant themselves in the uterine wall - let alone actually develop once they're there - then massive numbers of them die. …

Even the idea that it was destroyed for hospitality reasons is something that has to be inferred from the story - the only time the Bible actually says why Sodom was destroyed (other than "bad people") is in Ezekiel (16:49). And there's it's just another repetition of what is basically the only theme of the Bible…

It's worth noting that this particular bit of Christian theology did show up around the time when suicide for religious reasons (of various kinds*) was becoming a genuine problem for the church. I mean, people really did start doing that. It takes something more cult-like and less it's-where-I-spend-Sundays to see…

There's pretty good reason to think that people don't believe in an afterlife/whatever religious thing you like in the way that they believe that they're wearing pants or that touching boiling water would hurt. Religious beliefs often look like they have more in common with value statements, hopes, and social rituals…

As compared to, for example, Northern European countries like Poland, or equatorial ones like India?

Yeah that's.. kind of the point though. People in life or death situations act differently. A lot differently. It's not an people-are-just-great thing. It's a people-are-social-animals thing.
