    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I think they are untouchable, simply because too much time has been spent on them and only 2(or maybe 3) books left. That is why the Jon "cliffhanger" was such an eye-rolling moment for me in DWD. No way he stays dead, since it would make so many previous chapters and pages irrelevant at this...

    The NSA watches you poop.

    Bullshit. There is no reason at all the government should have access to it before they even have probable cause. If the genie is out of the bottle, so what? We can stuff it back in. These programs can be shut down, fines can be assessed and new laws can be passed to stop private companies...

    The NSA watches you poop.

    Exactly. We constantly hear people in this thread say its inevitable anyway, might as well bend over. Bullshit, how is it inevitable? Explain yourself. It damn near certainly violates my interpretation of the 4th amendment. Now MAYBE the supreme court will be fine with it, but until the...

    Please explain how it is inevitable? It could be ruled unconstitutional for example, or there could be more oversight.

    Playstation 4

    This is shaping up to be the biggest marketing disaster pretty much ever. I can't think of a single situation where a company went so out of the way to alienate customers and drive someone to their competitor. It's just crazy. I still can't believe that they are being this stupid. Surely they...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yep, GRRM is hardly a book purist when it comes to adaptation. He has talked at length about how he originally wrote these books because he wanted a format where he wasn't constrained by budgets. Pretty much all of his talk about the show has been positive and he pretty much gets his pick of...

    If the PS4 can somehow come out a month earlier than the Xbone, it will be the final nail in the coffin. Here's hoping!

    The Official Conservative Political Thread

    That would be more believable if you hadn't taken shots at women who want it all and professional women all through the last few pages.

    The Official Conservative Political Thread

    The problem is your assumption that the woman has to be the one that sacrifices. My mother was by far the primary breadwinner in my family and my stepfather worked fulltime also. Women can't have it all, no one can, but your recipe is that women shouldn't try to have a job and they should...

    Renal failure in pets: experience and advice with a side of amphibious bears

    The important point is that just because dogs eat fish or don't eat fish in the wild, doesn't mean that they will be healthier if they do eat fish in your house. It is the same fallacy as the idiots that spout the paleo diet for humans.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I'm guessing they will also cast Hyle. However, there is plenty fo ways to spice up the search. All they need to do is add a few more confrontation/fight scenes with various Lannisters/Freys etc.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Why do people keep saying this? She is only supposed to search for Sansa when Sansa ends up lost. She will still vanish after the purple wedding.

    The NSA watches you poop.

    How the fuck do 38% of people approve the government keeping track of phone records of people without any suspicion of wrongdoing? I don't want to live in this world anymore.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Could add some interesting conflict between Brienne and Jaime, as well as some Brienne/Sansa scenes that could make her search for Sansa more poignant. Also might get Brienne helping Jaime learn to fight lefthanded.

    Dude, you deleted a post from someone that wasn't actually spoiling anything. Of course it was a mistake, though a reasonable one. Life won't end if you admit that.

    Man of Steel

    I dunno, it dropped in score again, right now there are enough bad reviews that I really can't chalk it up to just people being butthurt over him not being clark kent. I'm becoming sad.

    This is a pretty positive review... http://comicbook.com/blog/2013/06/10...vie-ever-made/

    Man of Steel

    It does kind of worry me though that RT has them at 71% so far with 41 reviews. Wasn't avengers like 95% at this point? All the "complaints" that you have brought up sound like pro's to me though.

    Gun control

    Sadly I don't think Kreugen is sarcastic when he considers all gun-free zones the "Wild West".

    Gun control

    I just love how you constantly attack people for using extreme examples of stuff (like wanting to drive tanks) and then come out with the Wild West comparison.

    If you can't tell the difference between MS adding its own DRM to EVERY game vs Sony possibly allowing some games to have their own DRM, then you are not being a moderate. You are being an idiot. You seriously can't be this dumb.

    If you thought their presentation to mean that Sony was going to disallow all DRM from any publisher, then the fault is on you. No one reasonable read it that way.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    If you can't see the difference between Microsoft enforcing DRM on everything vs Sony saying they won't have it on their games but 3rd party can optionally have it, then nothing I say will convince you. Just buy your XB One and be happy.

    Renal failure in pets: experience and advice with a side of amphibious bears

    I had a friend from Romania who believed very strongly that cats would suck the life out of babies mouths if left in a room alone with a baby. Given that Araysar is from soviet russia, Araysar really believes the same about cat brain parasites. Not sure why so many cultures have weird myths...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    It really sounds like you watched a different show than I did. This season had... 1) Bran gaining the ability to take over animals, even a person in Hodor. 2) Jaime getting his hand cut off, then having a complete character transformation. 3) Jon falling in love with Ygritte, climbing the...

    Of course they were going to start with the Vita. If they put it at the end people will tune out.

    Renal failure in pets: experience and advice with a side of amphibious bears

    Dude, don't even bother arguing with Cutlery about dogs and diet. His pseudoscientific belief in the "paleo diet for dogs" isn't going to change. It sucks that he turns any thread about dogs or cats into yet more evangelism for his paleo dog diet but the best advice is to just ignore it.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Are you a big fan of the Greyjoys and the Kingsmoot storyline in the books? They always felt to me padding that was added to make FFC long enough without adding Essos stuff. I am hoping they are cut so we can spend more time with new Dorne and Essos people at the end of s4 and s5.

    Jim Holden is definitely the least interesting character in the series. He is so naive and easy to manipulate that he makes Ned Stark from ASOIAF look like Machiavelli.

    Look, for all the talk about me being super rustled, you have been cursing and insulting me this entire thread. I just want a sensible rule, not a all-encompassing zero-tolerance rule that clearly wasn't enforced anyway. You know, like the NO PUSSY SHIT rule that was supposed to be in place for...

    Yes, I agree, it is idiocy of the highest order that you guys specifically excluded trailers when I asked where the line was. Now you say they are fine? You can't even be consistent for one fucking page of this thread.

    James S.A. Corey - The Expanse

    The Long Price Quartet has some of the most well-rounded characters in all of fantasy. Could not disagree more strongly with you.
