| Topic | Would you support the death penalty for the florida school shooter? |
| TigerTycoon 02/20/18 6:09:49 PM #64 | CaptainStrong posted... It's kinda hypocritical to punish killers by killing them. That's like saying is hypocritical to shoot someone for shooting at you first. CaptainStrong posted... The death penalty is a lesser punishment than life in prison. If you were in his position, which would you rather have? 60+ years in prison or death way sooner? Whether death or life in prison is worse is heavily opinion based. Also, keeping someone in prison for the rest of their life is expensive for the tax payer. The point of the death penalty isn't to make the criminal suffer, it's to just get rid of that person. If you wanted to make the person suffer, you'd torture them. --- YOU COULDN'T AFFORD IT! |

| Topic | Science discovers prisons legitimately don't work |
| TigerTycoon 02/08/18 2:52:12 PM #18 | Depends on what you think prison is supposed to do. If you think it's purpose is to reform inmates, anyone with any knowledge of prisons and any common sense knows it doesn't do that. People are rarely sent to jail because they were living lives where they had all the options in the world, it's often because they felt they didn't have many options other than to become criminals. Prison does nothing to change this, people who leave prison reenter the world with the same skills, or lack thereof, as before, and probably a deteriorated mentality, only knowing how to become a criminal again. If you wanted to reduce the chance for prisoners to not become criminals again, you should give them job training. --- YOU COULDN'T AFFORD IT! |

| TigerTycoon 02/02/18 4:21:39 PM #29 | Amuseum posted... College/University was never meant for the masses. But eventually became mandatory in order to attain the degrees, without which employers will discriminate against you. This isn't even actually true. Most employers care far more that you have job experience than if you have a degree, a degree is just a plus. Job training courses in a specific field would be more desirable than a college degree on a broad subject. Agree with everything else though. --- YOU COULDN'T AFFORD IT! |

TigerTycoon posted...Mead posted...Outside of potd and 4chan I feel like she was only culturally relevant for maybe two weeks or so The problem wasn't really what gamers thought, but for a while, a lot of misinformed gaming publishers thought people like Anita Sarkeesian, and her followers who don't even play video games (and thus could not tell that she was lying most of the time), and sites like Kotaku and Polygon, and the main stream media in general, who hire non gamers who are more concerned about pushing a political agenda than actual video games, represented the opinions of a majority of their consumer base because the large platform on which these non gamers are given to speak compared to the people who actually played video games. But as movies like Ghostbusters 2016 show, as much as the media pushes the righteousness of political correctness and try to portray their opinions as the majority, they are simply not the opinions of the average consumer who only care if the product is entertaining, and are not more entertained when media is politically correct. The reason most gamers have stopped caring about people like Anita Sarkeesian is most gaming publishers have realized this too. --- YOU COULDN'T AFFORD IT! |

| TigerTycoon 12/25/17 5:24:41 AM #30 | The U.S. collects more money through tax than almost any country in the world, if not the most, it's not in constant debt because it can't make enough money however, it's because the government has a massive over spending problem, and nobody really cares about fixing that because the U.S. government is essentially "too big to fail", and everybody in congress knows it. There is no need to spend less, because the debt will never be their problem. Don't misunderstand, it's massively irresponsible, but the U.S. government in no way cares about how much money it spends or clearing it's debt. --- YOU COULDN'T AFFORD IT! |

TigerTycoon posted...if you can just destroy what looks like a ship more than 100X the size of the ship you're using to ram with light speed, they should be doing that all the time. This is assuming every battle the Rebels fight they don't lose any spacecraft. If they are fighting an large enemy in which they are losing multiple spacecraft anyway, they could just light speed one of their ships into the enemy so the rest can survive or escape. How about that beginning scene where they lose like 15 snail like bombers which can only drop bombs straight down in 0 gravity. Autopilot light speed one of the bombers into the enemy ship instead if making that agonizingly slow flight with 15 of your ships. Or if the first order uses that lightspeed tracking again they'll just lightspeed ram one of their ships into the enemy ship so they rest of the ships can escape. The issue is introducing that lightspeed ramming is a viable weapon opens a huge can of worms into how combat is approached in the Star Wars universe. --- YOU COULDN'T AFFORD IT! |

| TigerTycoon 12/21/17 6:22:20 PM #13 | argonautweakend posted... going lightspeed into a star destroyer seemed like a last ditch effort. it didnt seem planned. It was a last ditch effort, the problem people have with the scene is if this works, why isn't that just plan A? They were shown to abandon multiple large ships during the chase because they ran out of fuel first, if you can just destroy what looks like a ship more than 100X the size of the ship you're using to ram with light speed, they should be doing that all the time. Something I've seen mentioned by some SW fans, fuel running out has never been an issue in Star Wars before TLJ, Luke in Ep 5-6 makes multiple lightspeed jumps in just his X-Wing, and multiple times in the prequels people travel extreme distances in space with small personal craft. --- YOU COULDN'T AFFORD IT! |

How can you claim to deserve any kind of writing position when you can't see the very obvious plot issues and nonsensical decisions made in TLJ? You can enjoy TLJ despite the problems, but these critics would have you believe these massive problems don't exist or are irrelevant, because of what? The CGI? The racial diversity?

| TigerTycoon 12/03/17 11:54:30 PM #3 | Being a politician is how they make a living, so they do whatever they can to profit the most. Even if you wanted to make a positive difference, in all likelihood, you needed to compromise a lot of principles and morals to get enough funding to succeed at being a politician in the first place, as even if you refuse to your opponents won't. So by the time you are in a place of reasonable power, you compromised any principles and morals you might have had at one point already, and decided to keep doing so because that's just how the system works. The exception to these rules are the minority of already wealthy who become politicians and cannot be influenced with money or threatened or controlled by larger parties, as honestly, being a politician isn't at all that profitable and is a huge hassle if you were already very wealthy. If you wanted to controls politics you could do it much more easily while staying out of the spotlight like most corporations do already. WastelandCowboy posted... How could they live with themselves after accepting money from companies that only cares about their own pockets, their realm of power, and no-one else? While I in no way endorse the actions of these politicians, you say this like politicians are the only ones who compromised their morals in exchange for profit and self gain. You want to be honest, most people would choose to have money and be corrupt than be poor and pure. How many people would turn their parents/spouse into the police if they financially provided for them? Which do you think is more important to most people, "the greater good", or themselves and their family? Let's say you call the cops on your family members who are corrupt politicians, you are now broke, lost all your friends and allies, and you have not changed the corrupt political landscape one tiny bit. --- YOU COULDN'T AFFORD IT! |

It's not the company's problem if people are addicted and spend way too much money on them. And like I just said, people spend way too much money on lots of things that are optional and/or cosmetic. This is exactly what I was saying. From your point of view, you don't care about loot boxes intentionally exploiting people with gambling problems for money, because you don't view yourself as personally affected. I'm not judging you for this view, I'm just pointing out this is an existent point of view. The conversation around loot boxes isn't solely about how it affects the balance of games for people who choose not to pay for loot boxes in AAA games, there are people who also want loot boxes to be regulated like any other business based around gambling, to protect those who are easily exploited and especially children, as there are no age restrictions for games with loot boxes. Loot boxes and similar systems are predatory by nature as long as people have a chance of getting anything that they want from them and the ability to pay real money to do so, they provide the same triggers for gamblers regardless of it the rewards are cosmetic or game changing, the goal in making the rewards game changing was to get more people to purchase loot boxes than the people who already were because now you are at a game play disadvantage for not doing so. --- YOU COULDN'T AFFORD IT! |
