Opinions you have that most people don't agree with.

[Feste the Jester]

Not my belief, but it's a controversial one among my friend. My friend Dylan doesn't not consent to the idea that .999999... is equivalent to 1.

It all depends on the circumstanced but I would say that more times then not your friend is absolutely correct

I tend to go by two things against it

1. They're two separate numbers if you can place a number between them, which you can't in this situation

2. x = 0.9...

10x - x = 9x

9.9... - 0.9... = 9

therefore 0.9... = 1

OT: Inception was okay, okay? It wasn't the most amazing thing I've ever seen. It was done well, the story was good, the whole concept was a cool idea, but it just didn't wow me. I'M SORRY.

Now its my turn to agree- it was a good, solid summer blockbuster with an interesting and semi original concept, it was not deep or complicated.
Also lols to how Michael Caine flat out stated that any scene he's in=real world, to which half the people who come up with those silly theories completely ignored.

If you mean .9[repeating] then it can be proven very easily that .9[repeating]=1

1/3 = .3[repeating]
3 * 1/3 = 3 * .3[repeating]
3 * 1/3 = 1
3 * .3[repeating] = .9[repeating]
1 = .9[repeating]

The argument against that is that you then have to presume that 1/3 necessarily equals .333[repeating].

Another one to use is

x = 0.999[repeating]

10x - x = 9x

9.9[repeating] - 0.9[repeating] = 9

therefore 0.9[repeating] = 1

I don't care how many times I see that written out. It's a perversion of logic to say that two unequal numbers are equal. Where does the last fraction go? Does it disappear? It may make sense on paper, but it cannot make sense in real life without breaking the first law of thermodynamics.

The Star Wars movies aren't all that interesting. Now the games on the other hand, are.

Sonic Unleashed was a fun game.

Captain Picard is worlds better than Captain Kirk.

DBZ does not age well. At all.

Inuyasha was a good anime.

Fanfiction is fun to read and write.

Oblivion is the most frustrating game ever.

Avatar(the blue one) was an okay movie.

Probably will think of more later. Cathartic exercise though.

 

[Ferc]

I freaking love Calculus; it is my favorite thing ever.

 

[mrF00bar]

Also, I don't want details about the G-man being thrown out to the public in HL2: Episode 3. Keep him a mystery.

You just made a friend of me.

 

[Polite Sage]

Visual novels are the best storytelling medium ever created.

RUSE thriumphs all other RTSs, including Company of Heroes (damn you needless micromanagment!)

 

[Fieldy409_v1legacy]

over here in tasmania(a state in australia) theres this raging debate in my town about this proposed pulp mill. The greenies are screaming it will kill all the fish and ruin the air while the guys who want to build it are saying it wont do any harm at all.

Honestly i figure i dont know enough about pulp mills to have a real opinion on it, but id lean towards building it for the benefit of jobs wed get. But back in highschool(theyve been wanting to build it for a long time) The other kids all seem to be fiercely enviromental without ever considering the benefits of more jobs for people. After all, if you dont have a job here, your getting money from the government to live instead.

 

[Kyoufuu]

I quite liked the Star Wars prequels.

Yes, really.

 

[thirion1850]

People suck, lives aren't worth as much as people assume, birds are not cute, MW3 won't be good, politics are a bunch of faffing around, plenty of conspiracies out there are frighteningly real as being proved so now, the cake is not a lie and there isn't 'the one' out there. No one is that perfect, and love is a charade played by nature to provoke instinct.

Yeah.

1*0 = 2*0
0=x
1x = 2x
1=2

I can 'prove' it, that doesn't make it true.

 

[DefinitelyPsychotic]

I think that Anime and JRPGs absolutely suck!

-The nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, though highly unfortunate, was the best possible option for ending the war, sparing many lives, and allowing Japan avoid Soviet domination..

Sparing many lives?
By Nuking civilians?
...
What kind of crack is that you've got there?

They could have clearly shown the destruction of a nuclear bomb without bombing anyone tbh and Japan would have still backed down. Hell, I know I would.

 

[DeathChairOfHell]

I'm for death penalty. In my opinion, sure everyone has a right to live, but that doesn't give them the right to steal other persons right to live. Almost all my friends disagree on this opinion. However, they all thought Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden deserved to die.

Hypocrites...

 

[squeekenator]

I dislike Nutella.

:O

I've seen some pretty horrific things in this thread, but that's just sickening.

 

[CleverCover]

Can I add more?

Don't care for The Beatles or Elvis.

There was someone who said Politicians need to have been in active service. I totally agree.

Yep I figured I'd get an ignorant, uneducated person responding to this one.

Learn history. The alternative to the nukes were a conventional invasion, and a Soviet conquest of Japan from the north, both of which would have taken far, far more lives than the nukes did. In fact, conventional bombing of Japan had already far exceeded the nuke damage and death toll. Also, FARRRR more people had been innocently slaughtered in China and Europe. It's just easy to hate the nukes because, well, the US did it, and it's "cool" to hate the US...all the other atrocities are less popular to hate.



edit: whoops, sorry about the double post.

Reaaaly? People don't hate on the holocaust you say? Or the Russian Stalin era prisons? Also it is good to know you have a time machine that tells you exactly what the methodology and results of avoiding the use of nukes would have been. I mean if your opinion was just that, an opinion, god forbid someone might actually challenge it!

The first dropped bomb was a horror, the second a massacre. People don't hate on them cause it is "cool"to hate the U.S. , they hate them because over 200,000 civilians were killed in one of histories greatest mass murders.
