Goddamned kangaroo fuckers.

I guess you missed the part where dealing with someone who's drug dependant and likely has psychiatric or psychological issues which brought it on like that is at all productive.

Skags might have invited mockery, but DeeDubya just proves for six pages that I really hope neither of his kids ever find themselves staring down they particular black hole. But if they did you can bet your arse he'd go hypocrite in a second.

Sorry but the guy invited scorn and more than that, seriously injured someone thanks to his drug abuse. And pretty much all Wong did was make a sarcastic congrats on getting away without legal consequences and call him a douchenozzel. The horror.

Oh, and you think you're going to help anything by trying to be "supportive"?

Gee I dunno. I think that trying to be supportive and helping someone out in a situation where they're trying to better themselves, even if they have been a fuck-knuckle before is a good idea. Especially when it's fucking clear that they need all the help they can get from professionals and others.

I'm not saying we can't say: "You were an idiot to mix drugs and booze" or "you might have to take some responsibility for your actions", after all pretending nothing is wrong is just fucking stupid. People need to confront their issues, but the way Darkwing is going, I really, really want to see how he'd react should this ever happen to someone close to him.

Well he's already a hypocrite for making shep a mod and "giving him a second chance" yet being so harsh (justly IMO) on skgoa.

Maybe Skgoa needs to post more SAC trivia.

And graphs. Lots of graphs.

Fuck, take it retro.

Just have him go all KA and start shamelessly flirting with permavirgins who will suddenly back him up through all that may come so that they can never every be banned.

KA?

Gosh that's going back awhile. She was before my time.

Ahh, before my time then. Keep it current damn you.

The real reason I agree with Wong about that shitstain skgoa is because from his description of his medications, I suffer from alot of the same issues and am on alot of the same meds, but don't abuse them and severely injure loved ones due to abuse of said medications. So I have some sympathy, but not much. The guy is an irresponsible douche who got lucky in that he wasn't prosecuted.

I have empathy for the guy, everyone has problems and sometimes we can't deal with them to the best of our ability. But I don't have any sympathy for him. In that respect, I agree with Wong.

As for him getting lucky that he hasn't been prosecuted, that's not something that happens overnight - he could still be in a lot of trouble over it. Granted that his drug addiction/abuse may well be regarded as mitigating circumstances. That is where I disagree with Mike. I think he made the complaint about how the system won't punish him too much due to the circumstances surrounding the case. I don't necessarily see that as a bad thing. The guy appears remorseful and he's now well aware he has a problem that affects others; quite disastrously in the case of his victim. Guys like that should be rehabilitated. But even so, frankly I wouldn't treat him with kid gloves. If he can't handle an insult from some guy on the internet who's heaped scorn on him, then he's a lost cause anyway.

Posts like the ones in the park51 thread about how "oh it's such a shame that there are more religious buildings" confuse and annoy me.

I didn't think that New Atheism was about destroying religions.

Well if you view religion as a negative as many atheists do, then more religious institutions are a bad thing. That said, It's always nice to see bigots get their face rubbed in shit.

Wait, someone said ConfusedMatthew is boring? I like his stuff far better than RLM.

I 'discussed' all I really wanted in the TPM thread. I don't care if I come off as an elistist douche, but the diehard fanboys seriously wouldn't know quality storytelling, drama, characterization and plot if it came up and bit them on the ass. And in their ignorance they will merrily make up their own convoluted definitions to perfectly match whatever they've chosen as their holy cow, however nonsensical and irrelevant to reality.

I actually get the same vibes trying to debate them on this that I get from conspiracy theorists and creationists: They don't know what you're talking about, they don't want to know what you're talking about, they've invented their own world around their fetish and have decided that's what dictates reality. After a certain point you realize it's impossible to reason with them regarding certain subjects.

Re: Jails and church-time thread.

Uh oh, my view falls somewhere between 'Sending inmates to church is cool, yo' and 'O noez, churches have pet thugs!1!'

GOLDEN MEAN FALLACY!

Honest question, Zod: What does that have to do with whether or not religion's a negative? Too mainstream?

This made me think of what a hypothetical hipster religion would be like, before I realized that it wouldn't work because all of the founders would convert to another religion as soon as anyone heard the name of their god.

Your wording in places was almost identical to one of those videos, so I suspected you saw them too. But I can agree with the Matthew background music was boring - he just looped the same thing the whole time. Blargh. I liked the content though.


(my life is kinda pathetic btw. i always look forward to saturdays because i watch new web reviews those days.. sometimes i watch three or four hours of web review a week.)

I just think it's kind of silly to complain about bashing on a religion when that religion has had free reign to basically oppress anyone they didn't like until recently. Especially when the whole "prison or church" thing just seems like another way to take advantage of people in a desperate situation.

Okay, I admit I lifted the "Why is the Republic sending agents of the Republic to negotiate with the Republic to try and lift a Republic blockade from a Republic planet?" from his review. I like his reviews because his voice is tolerable, the music is... well, it's the movie's music, so it really doesn't distract much from what he's saying, and he just states what the problems are, what he thinks was done well, and why.

Like I said in the other thread: One of the reasons I even bother with paying attention to certain bad movies/works is because I can see so many ways to improve them. One of the reasons I watch reviews is to see if there's anything I missed, and can then file that into the better re-makes I do in my head.

I just see it as too much of a black-and-white view on things, not all religion is bad even if it is behind a lot of nasty shit in history. I agree that offering church-time instead of jail-time is both illegal preferential treatment of Christian prisoners, and kind of demeaning to those who view themselves as 'genuine' Christians because it will just encourage non-Christians to fake it for their own benefit. On the other hand, stating that it give the church their own 'pet thugs' is just I'M A JUGGALO WOOP WOOP and too far in the other direction. I'd fully support a church-run community service alternative to jail time for non-violent offenders, so long as it's regulated to make sure there's no unreasonable coercion/conversion attempts taking place.
