Re: Maximum range of turbolasers (Last Jedi spoilers)
But to actually go on the topic, are we sure supremacy is firing turbos? Even if they aren't, none of the *normal* turbolasers even attempted to engage the rebel fleet at any point, which suggests that the guns we saw were the longest ranged weapons in the whole fleet, so it's safe to say it sets a...

Re: Does Canada need a military?
Difference being that apart from nuclear deterrence, Canada cannot in any way hope to defend itself from the likes of the USA, China or Russia. We could spend 10x the amount we do right now on the military and it wouldn't matter. Is there a point to spending money to prepare for a Potential conflic...

Re: Rampage shooting in Santa Barbara by misogynist 22-yo.
Well no, its not the America had decided the situation is fine. If you people didn't think it was fine, you'd do something about it. You haven't done so, and continually refuse to do so, so what we're left with is that you do. The rest of the developed world has shown the problem can in fact be dea...

Re: The 2016 US Election (Part II)

Re: Finally, another class of First Order warship
I suspect that if the iconic star destroyer had been introduced in this way and with this (rather smoothed-out) art style, we'd be saying the same thing about it. There's no greebles, no texturing. And we see the ship alone in space, so there isn't the sense we get in the movies of the ship being t...

Re: Finally, another class of First Order warship
Well yes, but then no Imperial ship really looks anything other than big, nasty, and brutalist. And the art style isn't doing them any favors either. It makes the ship look if anything more squared-off and blocky than it would in a model for a movie. It doesn't look big, nasty or brutal though. It ...

Re: Multiple stabbings, other injuries at KKK rally.
I wonder why the huge difference in articles. The former seems to make it seem one sided with the KKK being the aggressors while the latter implies both sides got in some licks. The articles aren't contradictory. In both, the KKK stabs three people while CNN simply refrains from mentioning who star...

Re: The Coddling of the American Mind
Yes, but those rating codes don't cover things like a news broadcast that shows a graphic news story. Nor does a show about surgery have to open with a graphic content notice, it could merely flash the rating code with no specific warning and be fine. This is not the graphic content warning that yo...

Re: The Coddling of the American Mind
Outside of the currently required rating codes (TV-Y, TV-Y7, etc. and G, PG, PG-13, etc. as well as the riders D, L, S, V, etc.) I'm unaware of any America legal requirement to flag graphic content. It's likely smart to do so, but I doubt it is required. 'Outside of the required rating codes, there...

What exactly is Hillary's appeal with minority voters? Mostly, it comes down to her being a well-known Democrat. She's also able to speak with conviction, even when she doesn't believe a damn thing coming out of her mouth. A trait I wish weren't so common to politicians. Is that really it though? B...

Apparently some dude named Ryan Payne took a few rounds.bilateralrope wrote:I hope that nobody was injured during the shooting. I really hope that no members of the public were injured because the police were letting Bundy's group travel freely.
My guess is that is was Bundy or one of his supporters who shot first.
