I'd like to see a formal debate take place in a podcast, actually. That would be interesting to listen to.

I like that. It would definitely help mitigate the constant Googling to counter a new argument, giving a more honest picture of a debater's knowledge.

It's not exactly bad to fight a war for oil.

Just don't act like it was about removing Saddam and freedom.

Removing Saddam and maintaining economic security are not mutually exclusive; in fact, the latter required the former. Thus the justification for war.

At my university I saw a few times a group of fundamentalist Muslims claiming Christians, Jews, and Atheists were going to burn. It's all about free speech, man, no matter how disgusting it may feel. I'd be more disgusted by government intervention. The best result is seeing people ignore them completely.
Yeah ignoring it sure did stop the tube being blown the fuck up.

For starters, America doesn't have such an issue with extremist Muslims. I don't see what cracking down on speech would do except galvanize more fringe Muslims to embrace extremism.

Just an idea I've been tossing around for a while. We'd have a formal debate on a subject that could either be voted on or just decided by whoever leads it. Specific users (mods or otherwise) would be assigned as the moderator of the debate, sides would be assigned randomly, participants would be grouped into teams, posts would be more formal than the usual discussion, etc. I was never part of a debate team in school, so someone with that experience could step up to organize it (maybe Meta, though I think the organizer should be removed from actual participation).

Maybe it's a terrible idea. I just thought we could use something to change up the normal tired discussions.

I wonder if they brought it into Syria or if it endemic and they just happen to have caught it.

No, I have absolutely no interest in debating Iraq with you or Mordo.

Bye, then. You inserted yourself into a heated but still largely respectful discussion and created drama where there was very little.

I actually agree with you on some aspects, though. You say the war was fought for oil, and my first post in this thread said the very same thing, though we have different perspectives on it. In fact, I'd be one of the first on this board to say that there really aren't any wars of ideology between nations (Meta would be the first to call me out for saying that), and that securing stable oil economies is a justified reason to oust a tyrant.

The point is I don't really care, otherwise I would've debated further. But what I'm saying is the way you guys are acting is childish.

So you're inserting yourself into a debate which you don't even care about nor will you defend your claims, to protest the way that three of us have been responding towards someone who refuses to acknowledge evidence against his own position and from the beginning repeatedly used personal insults culminating in a rant in which he said our "opinions are shit", to which we responded with mild teasing?

I don't even know what you're doing in this thread. Your typical behavior on here, whether you like it or not, doesn't give you much of a position to call our actions childish. Yeah Meta got out of hand a bit (and I pointed that out), but this is just pointless. Kupo is a big boy perfectly capable of handling himself. Now if you're not going to continue the discussion of topic (as I tried to get you to do), please just stop posting in here so this thread doesn't get locked.

Then when he decides to stop posting (a bit hysterically I'll agree), you guys all mock him. Pretty weak, but like I said I expect it from you and Turkey.

If you expected it, why are you throwing a fit? Kupo has been repeatedly rebutted in his major claims throughout this thread, and continues to defend them ad nauseam. Compared to his trainwreck of an "I give up" post, our responses were tame.

I'm not familiar with how franchising works. Is it always the responsibility of the franchise owners to set raises, or corporate?

It depends. If we're just talking about putting on a show or being subservient to a tyrant, fine, but I wouldn't submit to any sort of brainwashing à la 1984.

So would you prefer a Serious board where we don't have legitimate, ongoing discussions about controversial issues in which your own presuppositions and opinions will be systematically challenged?

Ok

Okay but seriously, I understand you're kind of getting ganged up on here, but at some point you have to start admitting that you were wrong about quite a bit and maybe you should reevaluate your initial viewpoint.

Which is why we should have bicycle lanes on sidewalks.

Like in Berlin. Fucking Krauts know what they're doing.
They have these in a lot of places in the US. In grid layouts, they tend to cross through turns lanes, which is extremely dangerous for all parties.

I feel like you're generally under-appreciated by the masses here. I doubt you get much money (if any) from YouTube, and the channel really helps legitimize this as a gaming community rather than a B.Net offsite. It would be awesome for this place to grow and give the creative people here a chance to use their talents, and your stuff is the foundation for that. Thanks for what you do.
