Also, these guys are loving morons, and probably string together multiple cuts, or read blatantly off a script, or both, and just recording audio makes it easier to splice together the poo poo they want to use. So it's cowardly AND lazy!

Look up Rocking Mr. E if you want what happens when you read off a script live.

Personally I don't care enough about cape comic books to analyze the sales, but it didn't seem all that farfetched to me that Marvels sales would drop when they stopped targeting their biggest demographic: The old comic book nerd guard. The people who are more interested in seeing their favorite characters doing the same poo poo over and over and over again, never doing anything new.

The reason I stopped following comics from The Big Two is because those twits couldn't get an issue out on time to save their souls. A brand new series that was supposed to publish every two months took 6 months to get two issues out. They're really really bad at being comic companies.

That's not what a false flag is. That's not even close to what a false flag is. It's being over-zealous.

I care about the male and female characters that fall in to that, because they make for shallow movies. Shallow movies can be fun don't get me wrong (Die Hard gently caress yeah!), but since there's fewer movies with female leads, it's more pronounced when they're Mary Sues.

Your little story would be more effective if you weren't telling a gay person to not be afraid of the people who literally said they want to remove his rights.

making wild, baseless accusations of transphobia does nothing to refute the notion that your wild accusations of racism and sexism are also baseless

I want you to understand something: you are a garbage person. Even if you're trolling, you are a garbage person. To even ironically defend Sargon, who laughed while Kristi described a rape scenario during their debate, and he, when asked what analytical framework would replace feminism, said "I don't know, I don't care." He is not interested in constructive dialogue. His is a misogynist and a racist (see the support from the EDL).

You defending this man in any capacity allies you with a man who found rape funny.

The article seems extremely biased. I mean if Sam Harris really said those words in the way its portrayed, don't you think Maajid Nawaz, a Muslim brown person, the podcast guest, would not object to it? It's taken out of context, when Harris asks the question he is expressing a position that he doesn't personally share.
I mean, it's not like I want to push you guys into convincing me that Sam Harris is a racist bigot, I just wanted to see if I missed any legit criticism of his. And I don't really see it.
Even concerning torture: Harris admits that torture is extremely unreliable and should be illegal, I mean how is that not a sound position? His article in defence of torture just demonstrates how we perceive torture in an unreasonable light, much worse that bombings, for example, which isnt right - bombing civilians should be less preferable. And the other point he is making that it is conceivable to concoct a scenario in which torture would be ethical, a scenario that he convincingly portrays.

EDIT: SSNeoman,I understood it that he specifically equates torture of POW to the inevitable collateral damage of hundreds and thousands of innocent civilians which is inevitable in modern warfare. Would you not agree that torturing a single POW is ethical if it spares the civilians? It's a hypothetical scenario, I admit, but does that Rob the question of its merits?

No, it's not ethical to do something horrible to a person to get information that will be literally useless. Action for the sake of action is rarely ethical.
