Saying "X happened because of Y" =/= "What Y happened is okay". Again, imagine if Kofi Annan had said that 9/11 happened because of American foreign policy in October of 2001.

What Hamas did, they did because Isreal has been ruthlessly killing Palestinians for a long time. This horrific action did not come out of nowhere. They didn't wake up one day and go "hmmm time to attack Isreal because I feel like it". Every act of terrorism is in response to a perceived (and often real) injustice. The point is that talking point could always be brought up, and yet it isn't except now for some reason. ReiRei89 posted... No one is seriously saying what Hamas did is fine. The UN chief pointed out the truth, that Israel created this conflict via 50 years of trying to wipe out the Palestinian people. Getting butthurt about reality doesn't make it any less true. Hamas are monsters but so is Israel and they do need to get called out for it. There's plenty of room to be critical os Israel without pretty blatantly downplaying an act of terrorism as a mere reaction. If Kofi Annan had said a similar thing a few weeks after 9/11, we'd have throngs of people protesting outside the UN for months. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. |

K181 10/25/23 9:41:46 AM #5 | Nothing happens in a vaccum, but so what? British oppression in Ireland didn't make IRA pub bombings okay. French atrocities in Africa and the Middle East didn't make the ISIL terror attacks in Paris understandable. Nothing that the USA did made 9/11 a fair act. And nobody in the West remotely suggested anything of the like, because obviously that would've been stupid.
But Hamas murders a few hundred people at a concert and massacres a couple of villages? Well, nothing happens in a vacuum, you see..... what? There's plenty of room for criticism about Israeli policies without needing to let that bleed to a blatantly condemnable series of acts by Hamas. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. |

Dang you really think that also turned other people off? That dumb Sound of Freedom movie that Trumpers went to in droves. It came out a week or two after Dead Reckoning and ended up having half the gate of Dead Reckoning at only a twentieth of the budget. Between those three movies in July, Dead Reckoning in June didnt really attract the attention that an otherwise tent pole franchise was expected to get. And it was marketed heavily, it just fell flat. Revisited posted... Again it and other movies like that Dune movie (which I still haven't seen) were super presumptuous in calling their movies part 1 and 2, and I'll wait until the second part is out before watching, but surely that wasn't the reason the masses didn't go see it? Dune wasnt advertised as or labeled as Part One until you sat down in the theaters. Ricemills posted... Didn't people celebrate the movie as "anti-woke" or something? Or was it top gun? Not really, I dont really recall either getting that attached to them. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. |

Why? The Republican base wanted Jordan. A party's supposed to represent voters, not some notion of objective good. The "Republican base" isn't a monolithic hive mind. The notion that all members are duty-bound to support one douche is nonsensical, especially when the GOP candidate has as much baggage as Gym and that he has absolutely zero track record of leading in the House to pass so much as a fart. There might be a case if he was the minority leader and speaker-designate if an election went a certain way, but that's clearly not the case here. And all the more weird to bring up when the GOP spent two years reveling in two Dem Senators bucking the party line in the Senate. streamofthesky posted... I agree, but it's also fucking bs that they literally do nothing and get a paycheck and all their benefits. They've spent all but like 3 days of the past 2.5 weeks on vacation. Yes, I'm aware, but it the only options were Gym, Jeffries, or financial punishment, the GOP contrarians would've supported Gym, not Jeffries. And it's all about getting a majority. Anyone getting a plurality is meaningless with that in mind. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. |
Topic | House Speaker vote topic III |
K181 10/23/23 5:40:18 PM #251 | That seems nonsensical to punish the people that voted for the losing candidate, especially in a circumstance where voting for Gym would've been an objectively awful decision.
And if the expectation is for them to toe the party line or cross the aisle, the number of times a legislator crossed party lines to vote for another party's speaker candidate was extremely limited even in saner times. That's just advocating for Speaker Gym on the first or second ballot. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. |

The controls (Wii Motion +) were unreliable, due to the way you held your sword Link always looked like a moron when running around with it, the enemies were dumb and many of which relied upon the gimmick control method making the effort of fighting them nothing more than a swing in the right direction and hope that the Wiimote detected it correctly challenge, the overall gameplay structure and progression of places to visit was repetitive as hell, the entire sky area was a restrictive waste of space, and literally every character looked like wax figurines with the most punchable faces imaginable (actually, come to think of it, Impa's designs were okay, but everyone else looked like they needed a dropkick to the face). --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. |
