didn't Mike say really sexist things about his wife or something

or was he neglecting the kids to argue about the yottaton pew pews

I think she was pissed that the board took up too much time.

Is this from Facebook or...?

From folks who talk to him.

Edit: In other words, a source I trust.

this "in real life" thing will never catch on

not enough mobile support

Man now that Wong is back Dan won't be making the most posts per day any ore

After reading the electric kettle thread, I think they sound kinda handy.

But I already have, like, eight electric kitchen gadgets, and that's enough.

It's not just the comic-book level of morality in the movie.
It's that the EU totally glues twirly moustaches onto the bad guys.

Movie woud have been better if there WAS an energy crisis.
At least then there would have been SOME moral grey area.


Oh yeah, and asking for citations = VANDALISM :mrgreen:

unobtanium

lol

you know you can disprove the existence of an 'energy crisis' on earth in exactly five seconds

humanity sent out an interstellar spaceship to another solar system

boom, done. the very fact you're even considering an interstellar journey means there's plenty of energy going around at Sol to devote to what would be a colossal energy and resource expenditure

indeed, the idea of an 'energy crisis' when you have that kind of space technology just beggars belief anyway - space based solar power should be cheap and plentiful

it was a land grab, pure and simple

rda should have just dropped rocks on them while quoting lines from apocalypse now/milwank

Wait, you've been reading the thread, right? People have been pointing that out for a while now...

You can never have too many widgets.

Maybe the land grab on Pandora was the only thing preventing a major energy crisis on Earth.

But now that they lost they're going to have bread lines within a month.

PEAK UNOBTANIUM

seems you always have to state your point in at least three different ways before people get it

or maybe i'm just a horrible communicator

It was.
That "god" you refer to has a name.
His name is James Cameron.
He wrote Avatar.
He decided to use the humans as the villains in his story.
So he has them doing morally reprehensible things throughout the plot, and never making any effort to redeem themselves.
He did not assign them a noble cause.
He made greed their driving motivation.

Avatar is a very one-sided morality story.
Deal with it.

more like groanenberg
