Controversial Opinion: I hate Bruce Lee. I don't understand why people think an actor was some great fighter when he never fought anybody*. Nobody seems to apply the same beliefs to Arnold Schwarzeneggar or Erroll Flynn. Aside from that, anybody who watches his videos should be capable of...

You're saying you COULD spot the Catholic or the Baptist or the Jew? My hometown has a Mennonite construction company that uses power tools, hauls everything in big trucks, etc.

No problem. I always try to remember Hanlon's Razor. If you had argued subsequently with no sources to back you up I'd have been irate from then. I don't really care so much about these artificial distinctions everybody makes in war, with things like civilians vs. military, spies vs...

Dude, our Peace Museum in Hiroshima doesn't even try to claim that. It clearly outlines Hiroshima's military importance as a military headquarters, transshipping point, depot and training ground. Nagasaki was home to one of the biggest shipyards and naval headquarters in Japan. Both were as...

I don't understand the black market argument being applied in this situation. You all really think people do MORE of something because it's illegal? There are plenty of things I don't do because they're illegal, including all the illegal drugs. I'd imagine that's true for many of you...

What exactly was the timeline for the beginning? I'm not recalling that for some reason. Surely you aren't saying Our Hero slept in his hospital bed for 15 months. Having him survive any length of time abandoned in that hospital already stresses my suspension of disbelief but I have my...

Oh. I didn't realize your school assigned grades based on luck. I thought it was like most schools where you earned them by completing assignments and studying for exams. Now that I know that I stand corrected. The rest of what I'm about to say only applies to people who go to schools where...

Education is not some sort of free means of expression for your unique and beautiful snowflakitude. It's career training. The end. Learn to do something that needs doing and then go out and do it. Anything else is pure selfishness. When your bills are paid and society is compensated for...

1. I'm pretty sure most militaries are familiar with the ol' failure drill/Mozambique. My brother learned two to the body, one to the head as a civilian nuclear plant guard. I suspect infantry know about it too. Also, politicians (and DEFINITELY local city or state politicians) are not any...

Okay, so instead of having an arbitrary standard they just let everyone from your bachelor's program go straight through Master's. So then their graduate school is nothing but a finishing school for the undergrad program. Do you suppose that would make your school's graduates competitive with...

I would hope everybody agrees that a 12 year old is constitutionally incapable of consenting to something like that with an adult. If he wanted to make it challenging he should have mentioned two 12 year olds in which case there's no obvious predator involved.

That's...oddly specific. And where'd you find a 12 year old who knows what she's doing? (ba-dum psssh!)

You'd ban...failure? Like everybody just gets to do whatever he or she wants to do with no standards applied to it?

Cite some sources that haven't been refuted. Even Penn & Teller retracted their claims on that front.

If you really think cigarettes only harm smokers stick with that fallacy and let people knock it down before you start on the human rights track. I'd almost respect a smoker who says, "That's right, I'm killing myself, my family, my pets, and innocent bystanders, and furthermore I demand that...
