I wouldn't say it's conservatives

It is literally only conservatives--including Donald Trump Jr.

Yes, but there is a huge difference between saying "all conservatives believe this conspiracy" and "all the people who believe this conspiracy are conservatives". I wouldn't argue with the latter, but I would with the former.

I wouldn't say it's conservatives, but it's pretty fucking stupid none-the-less. I can't believe people openly believe this shit. It all boils down to the fact that they are lazy, unmotivated losers with persecution complexes who want to pat themselves on the back for finding the hole in the imaginary enemy's perfect, century-long plan. Then they can walk around insulting others and feeling special because they figured it out and all those people who actually had passions or dreams or were motivated enough to achieve something in life were too stupid to see what they saw.

I wouldn't say it's a cultural milestone. But it is an important movie. It's important because it has exposed the racism and dishonesty of the left.

And you were so close too!

What I said is completely correct.

Black Panther has received very good reviews and made a ton of money. It shows that Marvel/Disney can take existing and underutilized black characters and make a compelling movie that will bring people into the theaters.

So, you'd think the left would want other black superheroes to receive the same treatment. Or ask them to create new black characters. But not really...

https://www.theringer.com/movies/2018/2/20/17032508/daniel-kaluuya-next-james-bond

What they've done instead is gone back to their old routine of saying "Let's take existing white characters and make them black!"

It shows that left is lying. They claim that all they want is to see more black characters in movies. But what they really want is to get rid of white characters. No matter how successful Black Panther is and no matter how successful other movies about black superheroes will be in the future, it just absolutely kills the left there are popular white characters like James Bond and they want to end that. The left doesn't a have a pro-black or pro-diversity agenda, they have an anti-white agenda.

Where is James Bond from? What country, specifically?

So several people clearly state how they feel about it, proving you are wrong, and you just ignore them in favor of people who are mocking your views? You obviously don't want to have an actual discussion. You are just interested in picking at easy targets so you can justify how you feel and how the 'other side' is victimizing you.

I think its confusion between assault and automatic.

I don't want them banned. I want weapons to be evaluated on their purpose and use and ones that have no practical application for self-defense or recreation like hunting should be severely restricted.

Worth noting that this is basically what we Canadians do, and it works fairly well.

Not in that context. In my mind, that means sticking to your genetic family no matter what. I have some really, really shitty family members who I wouldn't waste my time with for a minute. I also have some non-related people in my life that I'd do anything for. I believe in loyalty to those that earn it and general compassion for all humanity whenever possible, but I think that I will always prioritize people in my life that I choose to be close to, and not the ones that are 'close' simply by the accident of birth.

This has been covered to death:

- Blockbuster Afrofuturist film
- Marvel movie, so guaranteed a large audience
- Marvel Studios movie, so guaranteed to be good
- Primarily black cast
- Black director
- Black producer
- Black writers
- Black costume designer
- Black production designer
- And a modern film, so it had the internet to help boost it's profile in the public eye

In addition, from what I understand, it doesn't rely on black caricatures or stereotypes to sell its story.

Racism?

Did people react this way to Blade or Spawn?

You mean the anti-heroes to Rated R films?

Yeah good luck with little children looking up to them.....
Spawn spent most of the film with a burned face under a mask.

Children look up to Biggie and Tupac so why not blade or spawn? I think its more political .

So do you move all those goal posts on your own, or do you have some sort of pole lifting and driving vehicle?

Yes, actually. Blade was also monumental in proving that comic book films could be marketable.

Okay, but you are still ignoring my main question. You state that the reason for your particular faith is because of the Bible account, but then you say that you it's okay to ignore parts of the Bible.

The Bible is pretty clear several times that it's not to be divided or changed, but then you say that part isn't important, because even though the Bible explains that you are not supposed to ignore it, you ignore that part of it.

More importantly, I'm not asking for the importance of Jesus, I'm asking where your specific faith comes from if not the Bible. You state that Jesus is an important historical figure (no one is questioning this) and that multiple other figures put an importance on him (that's not entirely true, it's just the Abrahamic faiths, and even then, the degree of his importance varies from 'interesting guy' to 'savior').

The entirety of the messianic covenant is contained in the Bible. All of Jesus' sayings that you follow (I assume) are in the Bible. And as far as Jesus' story is the most repeated story, I don't know about that. The end of the world comes up a lot. The messianic covenant covers pretty much the entirety of the Old Testament.

not really contradicts if you think it as quantity vs quality thing.

Well only if he is saying to repeal all current laws in favor of the four rules, which is just ... crazy.

Every state has different training programs.

Ah, so when you move between states you have to surrender your guns pending the proper training and licensing? You must support search and seizures for all people moving who have gun licenses then, right?

That's complete and utter BS.
The US has more laws on the books for Gun Regulation than any other country.
We have so many laws, that it's a full time job to understand all of them.

KamenRiderBlade posted...

But we as the US need to COPY the Canadian Acronym and TEACH it to EVERYBODY.

These things contradict. You can't say there are enough laws and then suggest another one.

Even if we accept your sudden change of heart, though, those things don't teach you things like crisis response, threat assessment, and the bevy of other training courses and programs that most peace officers and other crisis responders have to go through to be certified to carry arms.

And these training programs are mandatory in the US? Notice you quoted Canadian policy, but not US. I didn't realize we were talking about Canadian law.

gotta install gatling guns and turrets around the school too. Oh, and some planted explosives and laser tripmines just in case for that one instance SOME GUNMAN ONE DAY STORMS THE SCHOOL!!

Stop with the silly ideas that won't do anything but cause trouble.

Proper Fencing that consists of Metal Bars + Spikes at the top pointing in 3 directions + Barbed Wire / Razer Wire.

Only 1 way in / out that is controlled by the SRO (School Resource Officer) & the MINIMUM of a dozen SRD (School Resource Deputies)

Nobody is allowed inside if they want to visit somebody, said person will be brought out to the front and in front of Security at all times.

The entire Campus will have Camera's / Mic's covering ALL corners of the school and inside the class room.

Shot Locators will be placed within the school to have quick auto alerting of local law enforcement.

Camera's will be run by a Central Security Staff.

All Adult Staff on Campus will be required to be armed.

lmao, you're actually serious.

It sounds like it, and I'm sure he'd totally support the 30-40% tax increase on everyone to pay for that.

What I'm curious is if these supporters would volunteer for a little test scenario. Get them and eight other people. Give the eight other people guns privately and tell them that they need to kill the 'bad guy'. Then lock them all in the room and tell them that they are about to be gunned down.

Would anyone be stupid enough to go into that scenario? Obviously, it's an extreme example, but guns require training just like cars or any other potential life-threatening piece of equipment. As it stands, the US does not regulate guns enough, not only in ensuring training but also in what sorts of weapons can be sold. Most people would take umbrage with me stockpiling tanks and cruise missiles, especially if they didn't agree with my politics, and yet, their carte blanche methodology for arms ownership should include those arms as well.

It's just a poor solution. Obviously, the government has been leaning more that way than the other and it's not paid off. Maybe people need to start thinking of a new solution instead of dismissing these now annual events as isolated incidents.

Holy damn, I hope that's a bad picture, because that looks like horrible plastic surgery. Why do people think that looks good?

That's good.

Hey guys theres an active shooter roaming the building, so Im gonna talk loudly and interview people while hiding. Sounds like a good idea right?

Literally the rights line of thinking.

Uhh. What the right wants is for people to be able to say "Holy shit there's an active shooter in the building, let me draw the legal firearm that I have spent dozens of hours training to operate, and let me find the active shooter and kill them."

Law abiding gun owners kill the mass shooter. Why do gun grabbers want to see more dead kids??

We can't even always trust police officers to stay calm and discharge their firearm properly, but we're supposed to trust a bunch of armed civilians to stay calm, identify the correct target, and play hero? A police officer fucks up and the argument is "They're only humans. This ain't the movies." But civilians? They're motherfucking John Wick.

This is what it boils down to. I don't believe owning or carrying a firearm requires you to spend 'dozens of hours training' to own. As well, nearly every incident with armed civilians ended up making the situation more difficult. If you already don't trust random people on the street to make good logical decisions, what do you think is going to happen if you hand them a gun and tell them to shoot the bad guy?

I guess I had a lapse of judgement.

You know what I mean, though. It's not often you see that. That's all I'm saying. My main point was that James Bond is implicitly white in the books.

Yeah, that's a helluva lapse.

Again, though, what country would you say James Bond is from?

That would be interesting, considering the fact that females take their husband's last name. So it'd be interesting to discover how that happened.

Seriously, what the hell are you talking about? First, you think that "black people can't have 'white' names" now you say it's impossible for a black woman to be married to a Chinese man?

Don't twist your premise. You said "you could literally have a black guy named Wang."

Of course it would be more probable for a black female to have the last name Wang than a black man.

What the fuck? And her son's last name would be ... ?

Ryven posted...

But if they give the role of James Bond to a black actor, again, just to be different even if there was a white actor who let's say had a much better audition process, then that wouldn't sit right with me.

Why is that your first assumption, though? And why will no one answer me; what country is Bond from?

Phantom_Nook posted...

It's funny how all the eeveelutions could evolve with stones but they had to invent other methods to justify why they weren't available earlier.

But that doesn't even make sense. If it was a stone, they could argue that the stone wasn't available in that region. However, evolving because it's daytime or nighttime doesn't really lock it to the region, unless we are assuming that Kanto doesn't have a day-night cycle.

why would they use the same actors for multiple events

Because, apparently, the evil cabal is so genius they can simultaneously pull of countless false flags with zero paper trail and zero leaks, but they forget about things like hiring new actors. You have to be critically delusional to believe that an international cabal could simultaneously brilliant enough to run a multi-century long con and yet be completely undone by a high school dropout with a Twitter handle and a Youtube account.

Yes. Certain last names.

No, because of how, you know, marriage and names work, you could literally have a black guy named Wang.

Darkest Dungeons is basically Lovecraft moved back to the late medieval/early renaissance period. It's an amazing game and totally nails what you are describing.

Hmm, it's 90% off on GOG. Should I get it? What's the gameplay like?

It's a side-scrolling dungeon-crawl rouge-like RPGs. That doesn't really do it justice, though. You play a guy who inherits his corrupted ancestor's manor and finds that it is over-run with eldritch abominations. You have to hire a team of adventurers and train them up to confront all the monsters underneath the manor. The twist is that your adventurers actually suffer from stress and madness if they are in the dungeons too long. Darkness causes them to stress. Facing the undead stresses them out. So you have to balance stress management and resources and your heroes to survive.

Edit: I forgot to say, yes you should buy it. It is, without a doubt, one of the best indie games of the last few years. The art style is amazing and seriously reminds me of Mike Mignola's work on Hellboy.

Thanks. I just might check it out. Just started Etrian Odyssey, my first dungeon crawler a month ago and I'm eager to see what else the genre could give. Is the game finished though? Last I heard about it, in 2015ish it was still unfinished and being patched like crazy.

Yeah it's finished. It actually has a full expansion, a DLC character, and another expansion on the way. The current expansion introduces vampirism and I think the next one is introducing some sort of cosmic, extraterrestrial threat IIRC.

Fuck, I waited too long and it's back at full price lmao. Oh well, I still have a massive backlog so it's not too bad. But this'll definitely be at the top of my to play list later and if gets back on sale in the near future I'll skip a bunch of my backlog to play it.

You definitely should. It's been one of the best indie games of the last few years. I can't recommend it enough.

I definitely hate the social justice movement and political correctness is the last thing I find important, so I'm going to say something strange:

What the fuck is wrong with a black James Bond?

The character has been so many different actors at this point, the character has evolved so much that I don't see why that would even be strange.

James Bond isn't white, James Bond is a set of ideals wrapped into a character. The skin tone of that character is irrelevant.

Uh no, James Bond was written white. I'm not racist in the least but making Bond black just for the sake of it being different just seems wrong. It's like if they remade Shaft and casted a white guy. Just doesn't seem right. IMO.

What country is Bond from?

Trayvon posted...

why do the same people who had issues with a white girl playing Esmerelda in a highschool play have no problems with this? in fact. they most most likely would encourage and embrace it.

Because the history of white people in entertainment and the history of black people in entertainment are so radically different. I'm not sure why it's hard to understand. You can talk about equality until you are blue in the face, but if someone has to live with hundreds of years of a completely different situation for their people, it's not like we can just pretend it never happened overnight.

Also, I don't know which Esmerelda you are referring to, but there is nothing about James Bond that means that he has to be white. If he was any other race he could be the exact same character.

Meat isn't necessary to live. And depending on your location, electricity isn't needed either.

Protein is, however, and depending on the climate, plants full of the needed nutrients may not be an option.

Baseball is sort of renowned as the sport of nerds, actually.

But yeah, I'm sure projection has a lot to do with the stereotypical hatred.

I'm sorry to hear that, but try not to panic. Everyone hears 'Cancer' and they think death sentence, but when it is caught early enough, and depending on the type, it can actually be highly treatable. Follow your doctor's instructions and try to stay healthy and positive.

Eh idk about that when you consider things like true AI being possible. There are a lot of people scared about it, and they should be, but if we ever had a true AI, I'm sure a lot of problems could be solved quickly. Plus, 80 years is a long time. 80 years ago was1938. That was waaaaay different than today.

'True AI' is a misnomer though. What it actually means is redefined every single time a new technology is unveiled. It's called the 'AI effect'.

On topic, though, while advances in one field don't necessarily mean advances in all fields. In fact, in some specific cases, advances can actually lead to stagnation in others, like how the advent of internet technology basically flatlined the robotics industry for several years.

It's hard to say, but I don't think we'll reach immortality in the next century. Add a few decades on the human life span? Probably. Immortality seems like a pipe dream, though.
