Keanu Reeves as Ted “Theodore” Logan in Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure.

Much as I’m sure it’s a quality entertaining game, with games as popular as Minecraft… the only thing that can kill it is collapsing under its own weight.

It used to be that non-combatants weren’t considered legitimate targets. Ain’t progress fun?

Right, but they should have some plan in mind instead of just hoping that the next group of people who take power will be kinder to them. With no plan at all it’s pretty much guaranteed that a nefarious party will take over.

A plan may not go perfectly, but it’s at least a plan, and not just hoping that everything turns out all right with no effort put towards it.

Is it adding to discussions or just posturing? Much like heavy’s comment was about their issues, Lost_My_Mind’s was also about their own situation. Why is the latter acceptable and the former not?

My assumption is not because it promotes discussion, but because it’s something that’s more people emotionally agree with.

A leap from the lion’s head ;)

It’s supported by a latticework of it’s fucking magic. They’re going to go get a goblet that makes you immortal, you expect 100% realism?

That’s my biggest problem with people who call for revolution, violent or otherwise, no matter the locale. There’s no guarantee whoever grabs power after is going to be any better. Any revolution needs plans for a transition of power before toppling a regime, or it just leads to a power vacuum that any number of opportunists are willing and able to exploit. Most of which have no better motives than those of the toppled regime.

But why? Just calling things dumb, or stupid, or idiotic without any explanation is just a grade school way of saying “I don’t like a thing”. Without seeking a way to understand, and thus overcome it, it’s always just going to be “I’m smart and they’re dumb”, which is often the argument of those you’d criticize of “inherent stupidity”.

I would say the opposite. At least for the basis of this train of thought. That maliciousness makes one single-minded in their ideals and goals, which inevitably devolves into “Get mine, fuck them”. Which is inherently destructive, both for the person in question and those around them.

Math.

People keep trying to attribute maliciousness to stupidity as well. Mostly because it’s easier to dismiss stupidity than argue against it.

He’s shortsighted, narcissistic, and petty. But he doesn’t do things just to prove how much of a big idiot he is. Dismissing everything he does as “idiocy” just gives him more leash to piss on everyone from.

Haven’t judges been knocking down a bunch of his proclamations? It’s not bulletproof, and it hasn’t been everything, but clearly some things are a bridge too far. At least for now.

Guns are naught but tools. They have no moral nor political ambition. All they can do is provide an amplifier of force, no matter your ideology.

Guns can provide opportunity, but (in spite of Mao claiming to be communist) it truly comes from the joining of people for common cause. A gun can help even the playing field, but it can easily be abused by those with ulterior motives.

So your problem is that it doesn’t advocate eating meat? That’s what you have a problem with? Seems like a personal problem you have with it, not a problem with the article itself.

So as long as you completely disregard the majority of what each do… they’re basically the same thing.

Unless a federal agency steps in for some reason, it’s likely to remain a state matter. It’s entirely possible that someone at the federal level would try and make it federal jurisdiction just so the shooter can be pardoned, but I doubt it’d have legal precedent. Which means it’s likely to be denied on a judicial level.

Unfortunately not everyone is aware that water is wet. And often there are groups who try and convince people otherwise.

I agree that more ideas need to be put into action that can actually accomplish change for the better, but that requires that people be informed first.
