Controversial Opinions (For Everything Other Than DC Comics)

[The Darknight Detective]

Here's a really controversial statement: Hayden Christopher was not that bad, given what he had to work with: the mewling, inconsistent character of Anakin Skywalker.

He was noticeably better in the last film because he didn't have nearly as many cringe-worthy lines to utter to Natalie Portman.

Americans going back to the moon is a colossal waste of money. There's nothing up there but dirt and rocks.

A lot of things we use in everyday life come from dirt and rocks...

Each case needs to be evaluated on its own merits. If there's a lack of evidence and/or it smells, then I can't go along. It doesn't matter whether or not I like the person charged, either - fair is fair, IMO. I don't believe in joining the pitchfork brigade just because I don't like a person's politics, religion, movies, etc.

In the case of Cosby (whom I like as an entertainer), I gave him the benefit of the doubt until I couldn't any longer.

My sentiments exactly.

It's easily one of my favourite comics coming out right now.

I never said it was bad. It's just didn't grab me. I stopped reading around issue number 20 something.

Calling other men "betas" doesn't mean you aren't a "beta" yourself.

There is no such thing as "Alphas" or "Betas". The concept is used as an excuse for childish behavior.
"Alphas" are simply assholes who mistake being a selfish, arrogant bully with being confident and assertive.
They also mistake levelheadedness, having a sense of fairness and being reasonable as weaknesses. People like that are supposedly "Betas."

America's decline is not due to socialist coddling, but to a subscription to Objectivist dogma that selfishness is good and empathy for those you don't know is folly.

I just find it hilarious that some guys throw that term around to insult other men when by their own definitions the term could be applied to them.

Dude: "America is being ruined by these Beta men with no drive who are too afraid of women these days!"

Me: "Um, aren't you a single man with no job living off your family?"

Dude: *sputter* "This is an ad hominem attack!"

Get with the times grandpa, you either are a Chad or a virgin now.

Parroting whatever insult they hear or read on the internet without checking their own situation would fit their poor character. Overcompensating for their own feelings of low self esteem.

Sorry Mojo. I may be dense, but I can't tell where you're going with this.

The silicon used in computer chips is basically highly refined quartz, ie beach sand.

And the Moon is also rich in He3, a good fuel for nuclear fusion. Plus water, which is hydrogen and oxygen, which is rocket fuel. If we are to get serious about space exploration, even going to Mars,
it makes more sense to build and fuel spacecraft on the moon and launch them from the moon where the gravity is what, one sixth that of Earth.

[Carabas]

The Moon is rich in water? I know it has a lot of seas but...

When i was a little girl i LOVED collecting model cars (still do), Hotwheels, Matchbox cars etc, i ESPECIALLY loved exotic super cars. But when i got older i realized that they were ugly (at least the newer ones), and highly impractical.
