Gaming / Re: Halo Wars 2 has the best art direction of the series
« on: December 03, 2016, 08:59:07 PM »
It's great to see Brutes kicking the shit out of Elites for a change.

Also nice to not be fighting the prometheans.  They are just a terrible faction compared the Covenant.

Just finished reading an interesting book on the conflict between the KGB and American Intelligence agencies from around the time after WW2 to the closing of the Cold War.    The KGB pretty much dominated us through out most of it.  Due to their authoritarian government, it was nearly impossible for the CIA to successfully get any moles inside their country.  Meanwhile, there was an unsettling number of Americans who were defectors and working with Russia because they sympathized with the communist ideology.

Is this a big turn around from the previously, popularly shared statistics on British Muslim belief surveys?

Serious / Re: Let's Discuss Healthcare
« on: December 03, 2016, 08:41:01 PM »
I haven't done much research into the U.S. healthcare system.  From what I've heard in a few of Obamas talks and general online chatter, Obamacare was implemented in a rush as Democrats had the majority of the legislature at the time and so all the kinks and imperfections were for the most part glossed over.  After losing the majority, democrats were unable to improve and append the legislation due to an obstructionist conservative Congress.  Right so far?

There are no positives of religion. Fuck your "sense of community."

"HA, I called your opinion EDGY! That means I'm right, because you're EDGY! HAHA!"

Religion is for dopey retards with nothing real to hope for in their lives.

there is nothing real to hope for in anyone's life

Quote stack inbound!
Spoiler

Religion, specifically Christianity, is a cornerstone in the foundation of Western Society.

I fail to see how that is at all relevant to the validity of belief.  The prominence of a belief has no correlation with whether the belief itself is true. 

Quote
Religion is a way we can express ideas, philosophy, and morality.

There are a lot of ways to express ideas besides religion.  It's not necessary.

Quote
You cannot have a fruitful society without religion, look at the USSR for example.

This is absolute bologna.  Atheism has no goals.  It cannot lead to anything except "disbelief in god or gods".  You would be looking at other ideologies.  As the number of people who believe in a God goes down, the quality of life goes up.

 
Quote
Atheism often ignores this aspect of religion and only focuses on "muh science", without understanding the politcal and social impact it has.

I am having a hard time thinking of a good use of religion for "political impact".  Can you list some?

Quote
This is most likely due to said atheist not having regular social contact outside certain instances.

Yeah - most/all atheists are just sad losers who need to experience the real world  ::)

Quote
They were never exposed to the positives of religion, because they lock themselves in their room all day.

I don't recall locking myself in my room all day.  I also can see some of the positives religion offers.  It's just that it's positives (at least the positives I see in it) are just not unique to it and their are alternatives to it that do not have the unnecessary baggage along with it.

Quote
Therefore, they tend to focus on the self indulgent part of their belief system, instead of the good of the whole.

You say atheism is a belief system.  What pronouncements does it make?

Quote
This then leads to thoughts such as "Muh philosophy, muh star dust, muh 4 billion years".

Suck "muh" dick.

Quote
They never got involved with their Church. They never attempted to connect spiritually. They can only focus on what they have been exposed to.

You've clearly never interacted with many atheists outside your little bubble then.  A lot of atheists used to be Christian.  I used to be.  I used to deliberately pray as a kid and teen when I was going through immense hardships.  This caricature of atheists is about as bad as labeling christians as too stupid to see their way out of religion.

If you're an atheist, not agnostic

I'm not sure if you're doing it here, but figured I'd bring it up anyways; there is no distinction between atheist and agnostic.  They are not mutually exclusive.

Quote
but hardcore "There is no God" atheist, Take look at your life.

Define hardcore.

In the past 6 months have you tried to be proactive and outgoing? Have done anything besides the daily routine and watch children's cartoons?


Yeah, pretty successfully too.

I never realized how people would continually fall for your trolling after you admitted numerous times to being a provocator.  It was the same with how people would continually be provoked by Camnator's exaggerated views.

While I agree with Verbatim in principle, in practice, emotionless writing ends up being less effective.  So pragmatically, I feel it is a bullet one has to bite if they intend to end up a successful writer.

I think the way the directors portrayed his speed gives the illusion of time manipulation rather than him actually manipulating time.
