I didn't say that they have more guns than the US, I'm saying they also have a big gun "culture" and yet they no very low mass shootings.How exactly are you defining "gun culture" to say it's equal in the US and Sweden? Number of political ads supporting gun rights? Number of images of guns in media? |

Topic | If Disney Gargoyles were to return.... |
Ruvan22 09/11/22 12:15:39 PM #30 | DarkRoast posted... Gargles was one of the first shows that actually had a reformed villain archetype. I had seen a lot of BTAS already by the time I started watching Gargoyles so the reformed villain archetype wasn't as new to me as the "master planner"/"true neutral" archetype demonstrated so well by Zanatos saspa posted... Absolutely, speaking as someone not typically into comic books, just ones in-universe of the cartoons I watch. Thanks! I never watched the last season - I think it had a new antagonist group? |

Ruvan22 09/11/22 11:33:14 AM #27 | saspa posted... I read the 2006 Gargoyles comic book series a few years back, did anyone else read them? I remember the artstyle was pretty similar to the show (which is a big reason why I would read any comic book) and that it featured Goliath and Elisa actually kissing and discussing their relationship possibility. Do you recommend reading it? |

Ruvan22 09/10/22 10:49:24 PM #51 | My biggest problem with 3 was the plot point of them capturing the alien and it being released by one of the prisoners.. the first two movies showed human error/ineptitude allowing the alien (and nature in a way) to wreak havoc.. why make it the result of a character actively deciding to do so? |

If the kid is being employed by a company, sure Ruvan22 A) That's "a good thing" for companies, not necessarily society, a bit of a distinctionSo you believe what's good for companies and their customers should be the definition of "good"? B) So if something was created for one purpose, it should forever hold that purpose? Even if it's being used for other purposes because of necessity? If the company can't adapt to changing market conditions, let it die. Once again you avoided answering the question by bringing up something largely tangential. For the second time, are you saying that "if something was created for one purpose, it should forever hold that purpose? Even if it's being used for other purposes because of necessity?" |

That plan would obviously not work because confidential documents of that level are not subject to executive privilege, especially when you're no longer the executive. Has the SC or any other court ruled on how long executive privilege lasts? Like X number of years after a president leaves office? Till they pass? Afterwards? |

Topic | Jennifer Lawrence: "I get paid less because I have a vagina." |
Ruvan22 09/08/22 9:18:41 AM #164 | Rassiter posted... There is no gender pay gap , men make more money because on average they work longer hours , more dangerous jobs , and more high performance jobs like being a doctor or an engineer. They are over represented in high paying fields , and that is with free will accounted for. Same way women are over represented in teaching and nursing. Do you have a link to where it was debunked? |

Topic | Does Street Fighter actually have any Taekwondo users? |
Ruvan22 09/08/22 8:41:05 AM #14 | Prestoff posted... Quick question, have you ever watched Karate Kid or Cobrai Kai? If so, the karate tournament is an example of fights being point based. You basically get points for hitting certain parts of the body like the head and chest with your punches or kicks. You also get points if you do a takedown and strike them at the chest. You get punishments for illegal moves like elbowing or kicking someone in the groin. Ahh thanks - is karate in general based on "points"? Like are you taught to value specific moves over others and place an emphasis on form? |

Ruvan22 09/07/22 11:06:45 PM #10 | SauI_Goodman posted... Any point based martial art (tkd, karate) isnt super ideal for self defense because in a real fight the fight doesnt stop wjen you score a point. However its not totally useless because some tkd kicks are effective. I'm completely clueless about martial arts - what do you mean by "point based"? What are some that aren't? |
