Topic: Serious Discussion / World war 3

Do you think large scale warfare, as seen in world war one and two, is still a option in conflict today? I say this because the seeming lack of any conventional warfare in today’s wars and the no will by any of the major powers to ever deploy troops even in petty conflicts beacuse of economical repurcussions. Plus, you know, nuclear deterrent between most of the major power.

By large scale I a mean a major power with millions of troops fighting in conventional warfare (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conventional_warfare) against a state with a more or less equal military prowess

Is it possible to ban karma and Jhco from this thread? they have not contributed anything since the flame war started. Its much more intresting to read the post of people who are talking bout’ guns then Jhco and karma at each-others throats.

Topic: Serious Discussion / Are Corporations "People"?

“You could say the same thing about big labor. But you didn’t, because you’re a liberal and liberals love their (often corrupt) labor unions. It’s a bit disingenuous to have this post decrying those nasty corporations while completely ignoring labor unions who do the exact same thing except in favor of the left.”

Yes, you can say the same thing about big labour. BUT, it still does not excuse big corporations. Plus, it would be kinda unfair if the right gets all the (unethical) money. And unlike corporations, and the objective of unions is not to increase the overall profit margin, instead it is to focus on benifiting the standard of living for all its members. And no who supports unions approves of corruption. It just happens, specially when lots of money is involved.

Topic: Serious Discussion / The Politcal value of live

I dont normaly post quickly, but I just wanted to say that this perticular topic Is rather important, and has branches into almost all aspects of modern gouvernements. It deserves a better discussion. If someone post a vague, stupid post then be the better [wo]man and get the flubber over it and dont waste your time when a proper discussion could be taking place.

Topic: Serious Discussion / Blue Angels: Should they be grounded?

Its funny how accepting the american population is of it a huge military budget.
If those billions of dollars were spent badly or inefficiently by ANY other ministry, there would be huge backlash. But since this is the military, it seems all those BILLIONS of dollars that are being spent on weapons and equipment (most of which are barley used) are just shrugged off. the US gov. instead of 2 billion on bombers, could get infantry or drones to do the same damage, for ten times less $.

BTW, I bet the Us gov. could make a lot of dough by selling all of those graveyard planes to civilian airlines, and the blue angels should not be scraped

The Court stated that the right to keep and bear arms is subject to regulation, such as concealed weapons prohibitions, limits on the rights of felons and the mentally ill, laws forbidding the carrying of weapons in certain locations, laws imposing conditions on commercial sales, and prohibitions on the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons. It stated that this was not an exhaustive list of the regulatory measures that would be presumptively permissible under the Second Amendment.

Oh gee look, SCOTUS admitted that firearms regulation is permissible in that D.C. vs Heller decision the gun nuts like to throw around.
So the Court didn’t just say “HEY GUNS FOR EVERYBODY NO RESTRICTIONS!!!”, huh? Crazy.

The outcome of D.C. v. Heller leaves some issues unanswered, including whether the Second Amendment restricts state regulation of firearms, and the standard for evaluating the constitutionality of other laws and regulations that impact the Second Amendment “right”. These issues will be the subject of future litigation.

Oh look, by your own quote it says it leaves questions of constitutionality that will be looked at later. It discusses whether or not a state can make regulations against the 2nd Amendment. You don’t’ have to be a lawyer to understand what that quote says.

Tell me softest, do you think it will stop with gun control like you are suggesting? You know better than that. So let’s say they manage to take our guns, the 2nd Amendment Right. What will they go after next, now that they have broken our Bill of Rights? Your wonderful freedom of speech? A speedy trial? How about freedom to be safe in your home and possessions? What are you willing to give up, because if they break the Bill of Rights they will clean house of all of our freedoms. Government is not our friend anymore.

What is it you think our government wants? They sure as hell don’t care about your freedoms. Or is it you can’t handle freedom and need a nanny government to guide you in all you do?

lol. look up here in canada. We dont have a right to guns, but we’re doing allright. This hole debate looks funny from up here, as you americans seem to tie guns to freedom. guns are made to kill things. buy a super-shotgun-taser thing if your you need to defend yourself.
And btw, no one could commit all those mass murders with a baseball-bat. non projectile based weapons are not as efficient or deadly, especially when you want to kil as many peuple as fast as possible

Topic: Serious Discussion / Quote Discussion, Current quote: “The problems of victory are more agreeable than those of defeat, but they are no less difficult.”

The more horrible (or good) the situation a given people are in, the harsher (or nicer) the god they worship to will become.

As a example, look at the upwards curve the god from the Torah vs. the bible.
As the quality of life improved, so did the portrayal of god.
I believe this is because, as god is viewed as directly/ indirectly influencing everything, the peeps who worship various gods thought that he (the gods) are (brutal/ neutral/ merciful) depending on the quality of life (level of pain).
A poor man probably views his god as a much crueler deity then, lets say, a king.

Topic: Serious Discussion / Videogames

DO you think playing violent video games increase violent/ negative behavior (as a rule) in youth?

Personally, I think playing violent video games do not have a prominent effect on mental health/behavior, and if they do, its probably minimal, or the player started playing before they had reached the level of maturity to comprehend what is happening and understand that it’s fiction.

(As a side note, why is the portrayal of videogames in the mainstream-media so overwhelmingly negative? They make it seem every shooting with youth since mortal combat is ’cause of videogames)

Topic: Serious Discussion / Can Communism Work?

Currently communsime is not a viable form of gouvernement, But I belive in the future it will be.
If everybody could beceome doctors or scentists, company managers or a lawer, who would be the country farmer? the worker or the janitor? even the stupidest of people have higher ambitions.
Plus, currently, If people slack off, it would result in them leeching of the system, taking the same chunk as hard working pplz without doing anything.
I think in the future the costs of manufacturing basic human needs (housing, food, water) and goods will fall to a point where, if distributed equaly by a central system would be able to provide all humans with enough of watever that even if half the population are slackers it would not matter, as all humans would be able to live comfortably (if the wealth is evenly spread out, that is)

Right now, we have capitilisme cause if we shared everything with everybody (comunisme) The pplz that work hard would be pissed that there living in the same shack as dudes who do abasutly nothing.
But when we get to the point where we can previde the hole human race with Nice houses in the suberbs, and no one lives in a shack or in a mansion, Everybody would be pleased.

Topic: The Last Stand: Dead Zone / Deathmobile upgrade still possible?

Are (premiums on) free flash games a waste of money?
I give thou permission to flame duel in the depth of SD.

more on topic, I think that upgrade would be a little OP. You could do a high level zone twenty times while dudes who haven’t paid wait like 2 hours.

Topic: Serious Discussion / Corporations... in space!

Itll be almost impossible to launch a Big ship from earth. If we were to build a colonization or large ship for whatever reason, the thruster pack would have to be so totally massive, If it is even possible to chuk something as big as a colonization ship into space from earth using current methods

(http://www.davidreneke.com/fantastic-images-inside-a-space-shuttle/
If you look at the picture on the top, the fuel tank used to break orbit is bigger then the shuttle itself!)

I think large for scale space operations, If we actually plan to start a REAL colony on mars (not just some mangily space huts), we would not only need a base on the moon, but a vessel big and efficient enough to make the journey their and back in reasonable time (to resupply, bring back research, people and any ressources gained).
to launch such a ship, we would need moon base. their is simply no alternative.
if we were to build a fleet of ships with current tech, from earth, and send them to mars, it simply wouldn’t WORK as well and cost the same…

plus the long term infastruture (moon base, space elevators, ect) gained would continue to be useful for future construction/missons.

But of course, this is all impossible until somone thinks up and gets funding for a space elevator.

Topic: Serious Discussion / Corporations... in space!

I think its okay for corporations, to operate edge of space enterprises and space transportation, but the people who actually go down on new , astroods and the such should be all gerernment to prevent these huge coperations from going to war over minral rights.
If coperation X finds a minerl rich planet at te same time as corperation Y, and they actually have the funds and tech to make mine-ing it profitable, I doubt they would be beyond killing each other over it. I read a awesome sci-fi book about this very senairio, but I froget the name.

it’l be like the wild west sept instead of cattlre ranchers and gold prospeters, well have massive corperations armed to the teeth.
plus, since this is space, itll be alot harder for gouvernment to interveen.
