[QUOTE=maddogsamurai;50055818]I don't find Batman vs. Superman to be outright 0/10, -10/10 garbage, but it's pretty.....ehhhh where do I start? Lengthy post incoming.

I really hate 0/10 and 10/10 reviews. Don't just try to up it or down it as much as possible with that bullshit, otherwise you'd have a like and dislike bar or you'd be rating out of three. You're rating out of 10 so give me what I expect; A rating out of 10. This 0/10 bullshit is so unreliable and so disruptive to the rating as a whole, and I think sites should just ban people outright for it's abuse. Sometimes I even see pro's and cons with the tens and the zeros. No! Having pros and cons explicitly means that it's not all bad or all good and thus cannot be zero or ten out of ten! All this stuff means that genuinely 10/0 reviews aren't going to be considered as meaning as awesome or as terrible as you say it is, because we know anything over a 7 is a 10 and everything below a 4 is a zero.
While we are at it, movies are generally rated to damn high. When you see a 5/10 movie on imdb it usually means that the movie is pretty bad but a 5/10 rating should mean that it's an alright movie. Most 7/10 movies should be moved down to 5/10 IMO.

I think games are afflicted even worse. Just say to hell with numeric scores.
Holidays to a certain degree are kinda pointless.
[QUOTE=Duskin;50065604]Come on man, you don't need to condemn what the Americans did but please don't try to say that using nukes to obliterate thousands of innocent people is morally justified, it's absolutely fucked. Every side in WW2 did horrible things[/QUOTE]
at what point does a citizen lose all responsibilities for the crimes of their culture? I believe everyone has a duty to take action against injustice. A person who doesn't fight against the crimes of their government is just another enabler; 'when good men do nothing' and all that. I'm not saying they deserved death, I'm saying it was not a war crime to knowingly take actions that would kill them.
There are stories of how, after a firebombing in Japan, the only thing left standing would be hundreds of drill presses amongst the ash. An indeterminable number of Japanese civilians were a direct part of the war manufacturing effort, and no lines can be drawn as to who was and was not a valid target.

so germans who didn't fight against hitler due to fear of execution were holocaust-enablers?

This is basically what terrorists think. You realize that the Japanese were basically brainwashed by the government so there's no way they'd know about any of the horrible things it was doing? Furthermore the government used the fire bombings to fuel hatred towards the west, so it didn't exactly help much.

What, soldiers never went home? They somehow kept a lid on 15-20 million murders? Bullshit. It's much more likely that engaging in the truth was unfashionable, similarly to how it's career suicide for a politician to admit that the Western world is almost entirely responsible for the current chaotic situation in the middle East.

You're misunderstanding me; it's not about surviving genocide, it's about remaining complacent while your countrymen commit it.

If they did hear of it they likely wouldn't care much anyway. Civilians were told that if they were captured by Americans they would be raped and killed, hence why so many killed themselves at Saipan. And how could they prove that this wasn't true? Why shouldn't they hate America knowing that? Wouldn't you?

A person who knowingly assists a murderer, while he is committing a murder, is a criminal.

if you had been around during ww2 in america when they arrested japanese civilians and put them in camps what would have you done

Oh, are we comparing internment camps to the actual rape of Nanking?
Realistically, I would probably have been fine with the existence of internment camps, and that would absolutely have made me worthy of sharing the guilt of their existence.

no the point is that the internment camps were unjust
they put innocent people into camps
i don't see how that is justifiable

but you were arguing that it's bad to be complacent in the face of injustice
yet you said you would be fine with japanese internment camps in ww2 if you had been there
is that not being complacent in the face of injustice?

yes, it is. I guess I didn't explain carefully enough.
If I had been born in the period, I would've been subjected to social influences which probably would've caused me to take the wrong position on the issue. This would not have made me innocent of doing the wrong thing.

I like Batman V Superman
I know it has a lot of flaws [I]*cough* Jesse Eisenberg *cough*[/I], but I enjoyed it overall (Mostly because of Batman)
Henry cavil should be a good superman, he's just written shit.
Also, Wish they tried to up that clark kent disguise already. Some makeup, some different hair, different posture... you could totally pass for not-superman.

I completely disagree with this. It's for mental health purposes and also not to mention, to catch up on things you don't have a chance to do on the weekend. (Something that requires more than just the 2 days off). Everybody needs a break, i've been working ever since christmas break and i mentally feel exhausted and i have a week off coming at the end of this month and i'm going to absolutely love it. Even if i'm bored in it. I need it just to reset.

The marvel universe was a bad idea
Liberty City has always been the most boring and uninspiring setting for GTA games. GTA III is pale to both its immediate predecessor, GTA2, and successor, GTA VC. Same goes for GTA IV.
Disabled badges should only be given to people that are PHYSICALLY impaired. If they have trouble with walking 15 meters then obviously yes, they should be given badges, but these people that are given badges for having tourettes or something that doesn't really cause an issue in walking. If you request a badge, you are scum.
