    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I was thinking that the Obi Wan Vader fight from New Hope was lacking compared to the others, but I just rewatched it and it really wasn't. It looks like you would think 2 people fighting with extremely deadly weapons would. Sir Alec Guinness might be a little labored in his movements, but it's...

    Final Fantasy: Record Keeper - Mobile Gaming Cash Grab

    Well there aren't really any 13 swords because there isn't much 13 content. I did it with a butterfly edge. I guess I was fortunate that Brunhyldr didn't cast her AoE magic a single time. She was missing Cloud 6 or 4 times for most of her attacks.

    That's correct, but it was more of a thought experiment than a suggestion.

    You could be right. I'd be surprised if people would work at McDonald's for 2.75 an hour though. This is also assuming this whole scheme doesn't create inflationary pressure.

    Company Raises It's Minimum Wage to $70,000 and All Hell Breaks Loose

    We subsidize a lot of different things for various reasons, this doesn't seem like the worst of it. Where do you think the numbers would go though, how low would they drop? If someone is earning a livable wage sitting on his ass, is he going to be willing to flip burgers for a couple of bucks...

    Company Raises It's Minimum Wage to $70,000 and All Hell Breaks Loose

    I'd be curious what would happen to minimum wages if you instituted a national stipend for every citizen over 18 and did away with minimum wage completely. Then I guess you'd really see what low paying jobs are worth from both sides.

    Company Raises It's Minimum Wage to $70,000 and All Hell Breaks Loose

    Well no, since we weren't talking about welfare your argument is plain wrong. The other problem is that you seem to lack the understanding that while you worked hard to earn what you do and should be proud of that accomplishment, you seem to fail to acknowledge your fortune to be a member of a...

    It's parallel structure, you don't get to take umbrage only at portion of the statement addressed to you. If it pleases your tender sensibilities more, the whole statement can be restructured to use the word "earning". I'll let you work out how.

    Chris based on the fact that you've been using retaliate meta, I find it hard to believe you don't have the gear to just Tauntilate the fight.

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    Why would you possibly say "please bomb". Do you think they'll never remake a movie if this fails? Did you want the Star Wars prequels to suck and forever diminish the originals? Wouldn't it be so much better if this film at least was a respectable successor to the original, maybe around...

    Company Raises It's Minimum Wage to $70,000 and All Hell Breaks Loose

    How much is better? Half this country makes 12 bucks an hour or less. These people are not below the poverty line, but they certainly aren't living well. Giving them a little more certainly isn't going to change everything in this country, but it's to more benefit than giving someone making...

    Of course that's true to an extent, but your argument that society benefits more when you have more money isn't particularly strong. My argument that society benefits when the wealth gap is smaller is not only less self-serving, I also have more data to back it up.

    Well what's a fair number for you Cad? If your tax rate goes up 7% and your effective income after taxes turns from 18x that of the bottom50%of Americans to only 15x, do you really feel persecuted?

    I don't have a number, but I do believe in a graduated tax system like the one we have. I certainly don't like that the effective rate for the extremely wealthy is lower than what you are I pay. I don't think you want to bring up sales tax as a tax burden when we are discussing the income...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    The choreography when Luke gives in to his anger and is advancing on Vader (3:30 in the video I linked) is perfect. You don't need anything more than that. Thanks for the reminder that the novels are as bad as the prequels.

    Company Raises It's Minimum Wage to $70,000 and All Hell Breaks Loose

    Well this is kind of silly circular reasoning right here. People who have resources to spend spend more resources than those that don't? No shit. The point is if the bottom 50% had more resources they would drive the economy more, and probably more efficiently than those super-rich at the top do.

    I mean there is also the fact that a burger flipper getting paid more than what he's worth is not nearly as big a drain on the system as a CEO or portfolio manager getting paid more than he's worth.

    Company Raises It's Minimum Wage to $70,000 and All Hell Breaks Loose

    I almost 100% agree with you except for one thing. Companies are pretty bad at assessing the value of a good employee. If you have a quality burger flipper he's worth at minimum 1.5x the worth of your expendable variety.
