You know what is also not very good debating, is ignoring the original post as much as possible and just saying irrelevant things Also arguments are based on key points. When they don't hold together, it's a shitty argument. Straw man, read the actual posts before spewing entire...

Who are the most important members of society. Not who would be most likely to survive on a desert island. I don't care who "can't do things on their own."

And the best leaders are the ones who are good at ferreting out talent and promoting it. Another leadership skill. You're not me. And who cares what's fascist or not. Debate merits, not definitions. No one is attributing everything to one person. It's a question of who is most important...

Yes Yes Men, why would you even think otherwise? Nope and nope, he used the collected intellectual work of dozens of inventors prior to him like Allessandro Volta, Hans Christian Oersted, William Sturgeon. People don't sit down and then just magically come up with entire inventions...

The leaders control all of these other groups. They can make science possible, they can make public galleries for the artists, they can harass the humanitarians, they tell the soldiers who to kill. They can create a society of freedom and learning, and they can create societies of ignorance...

The General from KOTOR 2. One of the most powerful jedi ever; with a form of space PTSD that causes me to suck force power from those around me like some kind of space vampire. One would assume its curable since you survive the end of the game and the force hasn't been entirely sucked from the...

No and there's no amount of money that would tempt me. I like my family. You could offer me immortality, world domination and Alison Brie; the answer would still be no.

Plenty of worse stuff. Four Loco is literally banned in multiple states and the FDA had to step in to threaten to shut down their production facilities and confiscate their entire four loco supply if they didn't make it safer for consumption. Unpasteurized milk is basically a gateway for...

Executive producer can be pretty open ended. In the 1950s and 60s producers controlled most everything about a movie or tv show. Nowadays you can do literally nothing and be added to a project as a producer. Ontop of that it depends on the person. Some people are producers who control every...

Executive producer is a pretty meaningless title. Producers have more to do with hiring people, fund raising, and arranging distribution than they do with deciding the actual content. And consultants have no creative control either; especially in JJ's case where it was more a courtesy than...

Yeah rofl. There's like a graph of the average sale price that you can access. Just look at that and set it to like 1 or 2 cents below and it will sell in under like 30 seconds. And if you get like a silver lined card or something people will buy it for like 5 or 6 dollars. It's idiotic. And I...

Sorry midiclorians are a fucking stupid idea. A mystical force that is mostly unexplained is way better. Also I demand 2 hours of dry political exposition about the intricacies of trading embargoes and tariffs. Leave nothing to the imagination I say. Yes the death of a tyrannical empire...

I don't have access to the article anymore, it probably exists somewhere in its entirety but I'm too lazy to find it(or too cheap to buy an online account to the Mormon Times with archive access.) It is pretty easy to find quotes from the actual article though: Stuff like: "Because when...

Orson Scott Card advocates Utah seceding from the union in order to wage war against the US government to stop gays from getting married. So I'd say it goes a bit beyond just holding a backwards political view. To be fair, Ender's Game is gay as shit. Like, little naked boys wrestling...

Settings ---> Interface ---> uncheck the notify me about new deals box. set favorite window library Was that so hard? And you can't intellectually deal with the the fact that those features take up a grand total of 2-3% of an interface screen during the half second it takes to launch a...
