The Flood / Re: The Walking Dead Season 6 Trailer
« on: July 16, 2015, 07:43:39 AM »
ill be honest I was expecting a certain character to at least be teased.
In the show they're roughly contingent with issue 70/80 of the comics. Negan doesn't show up till about issue 100. I doubt we'll be seeing him till Season 7.

Yeah but at the same time some parts of the comics are rushed through/skipped in the show, so I was hopeful.
Yeah but remember they spent an entire season on the farm despite that it was only like 1 issue in the comics.
Yeah the farm shit was stupid. From Season 4 onwards though they've been much better at handling comic storylines.
>AMC
>handling tv shows in a competent manner

TWD is 90% trash m9. I only watch it for the occasional gem of an episode and to see how badly they fuck up Negan. S1 when Darabont was at the helm is literally the only consistently good season.

Idk mang, Israel, especially Netinyashit, isn't exactly helping the situation by not even trying to do a two state solution
idk mang, perhaps Hamas should stop placing civilians in military strongholds and grow a fucking pair.

« on: July 15, 2015, 05:50:11 PM »
All SNP is good for is dividing the left

when they vote with the rest of the left they're just being annoying leftists


anywho why can't UK hunters just not be overly brutal cunts? It's a fox, not a lion, just shoot it. Something in .223 would more than suffice, I would think. Having dogs do all the work is just kind of gay and retarded.

Not that I have any sympathy for the left here, either, since half of the force behind this comes from classist cunts in Labour.

So yeah, the traditional bong fox hunting is retarded and gay, but so is a lot of the opposition to it.

tl;dr just use a gun fucking eurofags
"lefty left leftists ecks dee :^)"

Not everything is fucking identity politics mate. As a Tory voter even I thought the repeal was demonstrably immoral.

You must have misinterpreted my post. Where did I say Christianity gets special treatment? Nowhere? That's what I thought.
No, but you have tacitly disregarded something so blatantly unconstitutional throughout this entire discussion. You might as well have at this point.

Let me make this very clear: No faith gets special treatment.
It must be nice being so blissfully ignorant.

Any of them should have had a chance of having something put up there. Doesn't mean they should be up there in the first place, but that one didn't have more likelihood than another faith.
Literally no idea what this even means.

It seems to have gone over your head again so I'll simplify it for you.

GOVERNMENT CANNOT FAVOUR ONE RELIGION OVER THE OTHER

GOVERNMENT + RELIGION = NO

SECULARISM

noun
1.
secular spirit or tendency, especially a system of political or social philosophy that rejects all forms of religious faith and worship.
2.
the view that public education and other matters of civil policy should be conducted without the introduction of a religious element.
Make sure you read my replies to Max as well.

A government's appearance and how it actually operates aren't always the same.
Agreed, which is why we should always call them out for their bullshit, not handwave it off with half assed excuses.
The big thing here is you care what the government puts in the buildings, you care about their appearance.

I dont. I only care about how it operates.
Endorsing a religion is an operation.

Not even sure what conducting "in appearance" even is, but whatever. You clearly have no intentions of recognising the demonstrably unconstitutional practice of the government.
Conducting in appearance in this case, is simply how something looks. That government building now looks like it is endorsing Christianity.

But if it actually were doing that, it would pass laws, bills and other legislation to prove it was doing so. But they wont, because they aren't favoring a faith when it comes to the law and every citizen's rights.

You are right in saying that those words shouldn't be up there, but my point is they have no effect on the policies of the government as a whole.

I just dont see this particular act as a public endorsement of Christianity by the U.S government as a whole, which is where we disagree and will continue to do so.

TL:DR

Don't care about buildings, care about the legislation that comes out of them
I never contested how the words effected the country.

The crux of the matter is the principle. If the government is going to defy the constitution, and nobody does anything about it, what's the point in having one?

If you want to discuss legislative actions, that's for another time. Not sure why that's relevant here.

We literally have God on our currency.
Doesn't belong there, either.

I'm not sure why religious folks feel the need to plaster their religious shit all over buildings, money, etc.

It's been around since 1864. And even so, it's still not a big deal. The U.S isn't making an announcement that Christianity is the official religion of the United States, or giving special treatment to Christians.

It's just a quote on a building, it could be one from a past President, Gandhi, anybody. But because it is this particular phrase......it matters?
America was founded on the principle of secularism.

Secularism means the separation of church and state so we don't end up devolving into a fascist fucking theocracy.

So yes, it is kind of a big deal seeing as how the government is disregarding the entire premise on which America was founded upon.

I'd imagine you wouldn't appreciate "In Allah We Trust" being printed on your dollar notes, so let's all buck up and start acting a little bit more consistent.
Yeah secularism. But that means Religious freedom for everyone, not an atheistic view of disapproval on all religious things.

Read my post above this one. I'm arguing that any phrase should have equal opportunity for being up there, not just one of the Christian faith.

As for it being a government building, how would you feel if the quote in place as instead a philosophical quote about Justice or something of that nature?
Exactly how is the state endorsing Christianity religious freedom? The government is NOT supposed to pick and choose which religion gets state approval. That's the antithesis of secularism.

Religious freedom is the right to practice religion without intervention of the state, both in a positive or a negative light. It does not mean state endorsement. This is not a difficult concept.
Not a difficult concept. But having this big of an issue over 4 words that don't affect you or how government operates is just silly to me.
So again, you wouldn't have a problem if it was a quote from Buddhist, Islamic or Jewish scripture? It's just 4 words, isn't it?
I actually wouldnt. But you stated earlier that I would have a problem with that since I'm a Christian. So you've already made up your mind on that.
Government favouring a religion that you don't adhere to doesn't bother you in the slightest? Sure thing bucko.

You are in absolutely no position to complain when government starts infringing on your rights then, seeing as how you have no problem with them infringing on others. Gonna hold you to this in the future.

« on: July 12, 2015, 04:21:24 PM »
Post-War UNSC wins by a landslide.
Pre-Schism Covenant curbstomps.
Forerunners would swat the Mass Effect Universe like a fly.
Precursors are basically Gods, and essentially unkillable unless they allow it (see: Forerunners killing Precursors, because they didn't stop them from killing them)

Mass Effect is quite a weak Universe. The strongest force in that Universe is The Reapers, which really aren't that powerful.

God you're retarded. Yeah let's just forget that ME has trillions of soldiers available, vastly outnumbering both the UNSC and Covenant, who ONLY occupy a small PART of the Orion Arm while ME occupies ALL of the Milky Way.

This is like Germany fighting the USSR during WWII, but multiplied by a hundred. And unless you're also retarded to how history went, Germany lost. Halo doesn't have enough to fight and defeat ME.
Since when we're we only talking about UNSC vs Systems Alliance?

This is Universe vs Universe, meaning all forces, past and present.
