Re: What Woud You Change if You Were Given the Option to Remake Mass Effect 3

Okay... four options: 1: Undo the rushed ending, and reinstate the original leaked "Mass Effect Space Travel is eating stars by creating dark matter and the universe will break if we keep using them" ending, and give the game an extra year of dev time to really nail down the ending. 2: Add at least ...

Re: Escaflowne: Eternal Love

Regarding the ending... when I watched Escaflowne, I never felt cheated by the ending. I thought it wrapped things up pretty well, and ended on a starcrossed lovers who will never forget each other kind of note. But I do understand why the ending can feel abrupt and truncated. It doesn't specificall...

Re: Reaching Out Across the Aisle

Humanity COULD NOT believe by Faith until after the Pentecost, which marked the end of the 4th Biblical Era and the beginning of the 5th Bibilical era, the Church Era. That is why the apostles (and men) of the era were so often left confused, and had to SEE miracles happen. They could not believe w...

Re: Reaching Out Across the Aisle

OK, let's drill down on social mobility. Here's an excerpt from the Non-Libertarian FAQ : This also helps explain why other First World countries have better social mobility than we do. Poor American children have very few chances to go to Harvard or Yale; poor Canadian children have a much better ...

Re: Undiscovered Country Discussion

Now I want to see Chuck review Chernobyl. Seriously, this was an awesome review, as I stated before about Wrath of Khan, sometimes I want Chuck making inappropriate jokes about a midget being beaten up by two linebackers, and other times, I just want to hear the facts. The change in tone is no less...

Re: Reaching Out Across the Aisle

... We've been trying that for years. When conservatives try to have a discussion, we're called bigots, killers, and worse. We're accused of wanting to push granny off a cliff for disagreeing on how to best administer health care/health insurance regulations. We're called greedy and puppets of the ...

Re: Reaching Out Across the Aisle

*Sighs.* This isn't getting anywhere, and is just going back and forth in circles. Regarding the religious discussion: https://www.amazon.com/One-God-Lord-Reconsidering-Cornerstone/dp/0962897140 The argument is made far better in this book. Another option for more information on why I believe the wa...

Re: Reaching Out Across the Aisle

I mean this in the most respectful way possible, but Nevix, your approach to theology probably would have gotten you burned at the stake a few centuries ago. No, just slapped. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f9/Saint_Nicholas_of_Myra_slapping_Arius_at_the_Council_of_Nicaea_Greek_Ic...

Re: Reaching Out Across the Aisle

1: Class mobility is currently restricted because of the excess of regulations, taxation, and overt anti free market practices used by big business lobbying the big government to both get tax breaks AND to restrict their competition, because taxes are high and government is too large, making the lo...

Re: Reaching Out Across the Aisle

I'd say it discounts the fact central to Orthodoxy that man cannot save himself by his very nature and needs God to do that for him. This wholly contradicts free will as presented in the Bible. If man cannot save himself, then Jesus' obedience unto death means nothing. If man cannot save himself, t...
