We don’t, actually. We live in a democratic republic, and do not and have never had true democracy. I think that’s a good thing actually, but it still didn’t prevent a Trump presidency.

You mean the Republican government might govern as the Republican voters wanted? What do you think an all Democrat government did? They implemented their platform over any and all objections from the other side. Why? Because that’s what you do when you win. Your side lost. Try harder next time.

You absolutely cannot judge people then by the standards, and with the full knowledge, of today. That is a ridiculous attitude that also sounds dismissive and condescending. The world had never seen conflict on that scale. It was generally assumed that war could not get much larger and that with the horrible things…

Also, if you consider WW1 and WW2 to have been one single war with a brief pause in the middle (which, considering the ways the “peace treaty” at the end of WW1 led directly to the events of WW2 is a very logical way to look at it), “the war to end all wars” is still a pretty accurate description. The war between…

Exactly what I thought. What a weird criticism, that a fictional character is period-accurate.

Or just suggests a staggering unfamiliarity with history.

Shes far too busy letting us know how much she hates men (or something) to read up on WW I history.

That’s not surprising. Unless it’s some modern social outrage (manufactured or otherwise), there is every indication of little empathy from some folks around here.

That comment in the article reads as completely condescending and dismissive of people’s reaction at that time to a situation none of us can truly understand.

Steve: “The war to end all wars.”

It figures Ridley Scott would want to make something written by a writer like Gibson part of the canon.

I giggle every time this show throws out some MMO trope, like the n00b who jumps at the first idiotic quest offered to him by an NPC, his partner the jaded veteran who’s just there to troll, the super-old veteran who’s basically unbeatable and is going on some meta-gaming vision quest or something, the game designers…

Yup. Total non-interest on my end, and I was not an Abraham-hater (Abrahater?) But when you drag it out for so long, it just becomes boring.

I agree. It’s SHITTY storytelling.

I knew it would be one of those two, but didn’t expect both.

This will be Plu2.0

Probably because fossil fuel works, and it gives us the majority of our energy jobs and power.
Solar & Wind sort of work, but not the way they are implemented, [they require gas to supplement the large amount of down time and both cause massive wildlife deaths] and will likely never be enough in the next 100 years even…

The issue is that they are, coal aside, economically vibrant, well paid, blue collar jobs, and not a dying industry. It’s just that you’ve stamped them for death. You’re conflating terminal illness with murder.
