I'd just like to correct you on this one. Allosaurus and Tyrannosaurus come from different parts of the Therepod tree. Allosaurus was a carnosaur, while Tyranosaurus was a coelurosaurus. Big rexies Jurassic ancestors were actually quite small. Furthermore, T. rex's arms were small, but not...

Y'know, I'm glad you said this. I knew that 4th edition had its detractors at launch, but I was surprised by the longevity of the hate, to the point where I'm not sure if the haters are really persistent, or if former fans turned against it. I for one remember the problems associated with 3rd...

The other .5 of a star is in reserve so it can deepstrike later.

I'm going to disagree with the general thrust of complaints here and say that 'Sigmaring' 40K might actually work in a way that it didn't for Fantasy. Most of the basic changes are not so much of a shock. 40K already has roundbases and skirmish style movement. Things like ASM are could be very...

Wait!...Wait!...Wait..!?!?!?!?!? What episode of Fate/Stay Night was that in?

Leaving aside the fact that this hole thing happened because you had a problem with a single off-had comment.

Do I need to repeat my earlier post? Very well, I will explain. The exclusivity I was responding to was not an argument, merely a point I wanted to establish in response to the implicit dichotomy present in the opening few posts. My responses to you are not really arguing that you believe such a...

This supports your point how?

I think it is quite clear that you have little idea of what I was arguing or the grasp on the implications of your own argument. I was, originally, noting that there was a false dichotomy, as was implied in some of the earlier comments, rather than an argument against a specific position. You...

That it affects individuals doesn't mean it can't be a matter of individual vs society And this is the false dichotomy I was arguing against. You can look at events/interactions from an individual vs. society perspective. However, this does not mean that individuals are not affected by such...

I'm not suggesting anything of the sort. Almost all my responses have been relating the two together, suggesting the complete opposite of mutually exclusive. What about this is unclear?

No it did not. Think about it, can you murder someone, without killing an individual? You cannot, pretty much by definition. Sure, it affects society too, but that is part of my point. Honestly, I'm not sure what you are trying to argue, or if you have actually understood what I am arguing...

Because it was not an example. It proved nothing. What actually is your argument?

Then demonstrate it.

I did not say that the collective did not exist. I said that a distinct, and often oppositional, line between the two, the individual and the collective, was a false dichotomy. P.S: Murder can be seen as an individual vs individual issue. Of course it affects society, but it can do both...
