I don't see that happening. They probably want to keep it on the Wii U to sell as many of the consoles they still have left on the market to people exactly like you

That's the opposite of making sense, though. The Wii U was a flop whereas the Switch looks to be a major success. They can make a lot more money porting to a console that is far more popular then they would by keeping Wii U games on that console only, and porting games would simultaneously make the Switch's library appear more impressive.

It's in Nintendo's and third party developers' best interest to port any good Wii U game to the Switch.

And why can't that being inspiring?

That'd be like saying a burrito could be awesome. Sure, it can be good, even great, but filled with a sense of awe? Nah. Same here. Hey, you got inspired to donate a few bucks. Cool. But to single this out as inspiring? I'll leave that to statements or actions that lead to major societal advancements or major accomplishments.

What's not inspiring about 5 different powerful people who strongly disagree on many things coming together to promote helping others

Because it's basic common sense. It's no more inspiring than if the five of them all agreed to say that America's great or that it's good to breath. It's a public service announcement that nobody disagrees with. It sends a good message and highlights a good cause, but if this is "inspiring" to people then it's nothing more than a sign that we as a society expect absolutely nothing. That's the point.

I can understand not loving TFA, but for the life of me I don't see how anyone could hate it. Sure, dislike the mary sue qualities of Rey and mention all the similarities to A New Hope, but it was fun, breathed new life into the franchise, the visuals (both practical and CGI) were fantastic, the battles were exhilarating, the character interactions were well-written and well-delivered, and the music was fantastic as per the norm for the series. Compared to the stale nature of the prequels, I'm honestly convinced that people that claim to hate it are either just trolling or are just contrarian and aren't happy with anything.

Both are in the wrong but A clearly used provocative language to incite a reaction from B. Freedom of Speech doesn't cover language that could be used to incite violence so they can't use that has a defence.

Nope, racial slurs are protected as free speech, calling a person any slur imaginable isn't calling for violence. Inciting violence is used against people leading mobs or telling followers to assault or kill people. At least in the US, obviously.

What would you describe someone who leans left socially and right economically? Libertarian?

Libertarian means the government should do essentially nothing. That's not even remotely close to left socially and right economically, as you could and likely would be in favor of various regulations (anti-monopolies, for instance) and for social programs with those viewpoints.

I'm not going to claim to be a comic book specialist, but isn't Superman repeatedly portrayed mostly as just a really strong and fast dude but with no real technique?

Did any of you guys actually watched the video I posted? HOLY FUCKING SHIT

The video that essentially ends with the argument that Superman would win because his potential is limitless so therefore Goku would lose? No, I've seen it before, and even then the actual portrayal of him is anything but that of a martial artist at least from the mainstream depictions of him, not to mention inconsistent as he's shown to not be able to go toe to toe without his powers in various mediums against skilled fighters, so it's just general inconsistency as usual for supes.

No, but I am saying that attempting to scientifically prove the conditions of a biblical miracle is inherently unscientific as you're using biased sources as proof and don't have remotely enough information at hand, not to mention that doing so often would assume utter stupidity on the people there to witness it if it did happen (Jesus was actually on ice and nobody noticed) or was the result of an unfathomable number of coincidences all taking place at once (this). Much easier and more scientific to state that the miracle stories were inflated or made up if your goal is to disprove the divine nature of them.

So you assume the stories are entirely made up and aren't "based on a true story"? The bible seems like the ancient hollywood movie.

I can understand modern Christians wanting scientific explanations for the stories in the Bible. If you accept that the stories are not true as they are described, that leaves a big open question to the legitmacy of the rest of the Bible.

- Was Jesus real?
- Was Jesus really the son of god?

That's where the faith comes in play, though. If you think that there's a scientific reason for something, then it wasn't divine. You believe that something happened for supernatural reasons, which is inherently non-replicable and not provable or disprovable.

Chasing after scientific explanations for ancient "miracles" is simultaneously non-religious and non-scientific (for the most part). Religious people would believe that something happened and scientific people would think it just didn't happen.
