    When we all know the answer to "what more should we do?" is an escalation that likely leads to World War III, it's logical to see those questions from right-leaning posters as loaded.

     

    Notice no one has an answer to that question. It's tangential criticism, and it does nothing to help the situation. 

     

     

    Whatever's said on a Nebraska football messageboard has no bearing on helping or hurting the situation.

     

    Plenty of people just aren't experts or even laymen when it comes to good 21st century foreign policy strategy and geopolitics to know if what we are doing is good, bad, enough, dangerous, foolish, etc. There's always more you can do, and the line of how much and what type of 'more' that leads to nuclear winter isn't abundantly clear, so it's a natural thought process for anyone.

    He cancelled the space shuttle program which was doing it

     

    This was already disproven twice before you posted, and once more (now twice) after you've said it, so let's leave that point dead shall we?

     Obama started to pull the the plug on NASA funding.... I was working on the CEV when the funding got pulled during the Obama admin. I was bummed. 

     

     

    Was there anything going on in the world during Obama's early tenure as President that might be related to lack of funding? 

     

    Like a global economy crash or anything?

    Does this mean you do not dislike the Russian invader targets? You are at odds with Silicon Valley on that point?

     

    Also, if you preface something as  “actual news”, might be best to not dwell on something Facebook did. I wasn’t aware Facebook was still a thing rational people used.

     

     

    I'm not a fan of russian invaders but I am at odds with "Silicon Valley" on how inconsistent they are while masquerading as a neutral arbiter of acceptable and unacceptable language.

     

    Also there's 3 billion people on Facebook. Sure, less than half the world is probably rational :lol: but that would presume that only the non-rational half of the entire globe are the ones with Facebook accounts, which obviously aren't true.

    Simple question…..Do you think “don’t say gay bill” accurately describes the bill?  

     

     

    I have no idea. Not familiar with the bill and only recently have heard the slogan for the bill.

     

    Do you think a news article editorializing one (minority) perspective on a hot-button topic as being the only right one has a leg to stand on whining about other news falling short of a gold journalism standard?

    If Republicans had decided to call the Democrats’ recent abortion bill — on demand, until crowning, paid for by taxpayers — the “Let’s Kill Babies” bill (though pretty accurate, actually), no major news agency would have allowed those words to creep into their reporting, much less used it in a headline. If liberals want to engage in hyperbole, that’s their business, but how can we trust outlets that shamelessly regurgitate their propaganda? (That’s rhetorical.)

     

     

    • Editorializes one single perspective on abortion as actually being true

     

    • Asks how we can trust outlets that shamelessly do the same thing

  6. Not sure how Superman, Aquaman, Green Lantern and others would be able to work with the same tone. The Batman and Joker are both incredibly grounded films because the respective characters aren't actual superheroes. Start throwing in alien demigod powers, talking to fish, being able to conjure magic etc. and that doesn't really work.

     

    Or maybe it could, but I could not envision any of those characters in Matt Reeve's film.

    Biden and the dems will likely be routed in upcoming elections but it will be due to the economy and not much else. Doesn’t matter which party is in charge, with this inflation and gas prices where they’ll be, those perceived in charge will pay for it in the election booth.

     

    I don't agree with this at all.

     

    If Russia never invades Ukraine, Gas stays under $3 a gallon, and the inflation/supply chain issues got shored up, Biden and the dems would still lose the house and senate in the midterms.

     

    Because it doesn't actually have to do with those things at all, that's just a convenient "why" answer to distract from it being due to a rigged aka gerrymandered game.

  8. At B1G media days they just have two people walking the floor looking for hands and passing the mic to them, usually while the current question is in the process of being asked so as not to waste time. Seems to work just fine.

    Not blocking a non-free speech source of state controlled propaganda isn't exactly being a champion of free speech.

  10. Just got home from watching it. Absolutely loved it - this is the Batman movie I've been wanting for years. Grim, grounded, detective crime flick that explores the man as much as the cowl.

     

    My real only complaint is that I would've loved if it was rated R. They went as far as the could with the brutality of Batman and also of the world around him, but couldn't go as far as they really wanted.

    There's zero good exit strategy for Putin on this. He's absolutely showing his a$$ here.

     

     

     

     

     

    This gives me heavy American revolution vibes with the guerilla militias hiding in forests when the proud British would march in line with drums and bright red coats.

    I can't believe this is even a debate - it's fried chicken. Fried chicken is good, but there are lots of other ways of preparing chicken that are also good. Not much of a loss to not have chicken fried.

     

     

    If you lived in the south for even 6 months you'd be singing a different tune my friend :)
