Re: Mr. Plinkett’s The Star Wars Awakens Review

Regan — Sun, 02 Oct 2016 21:15:11 -0000

What did we.....it's been almost four years.....I for one had no idea. How did this happen? We thought he was gone. We thought we'd never see him again. We resigned ourselves to a life where all the Plinkett Reviews were in the past.

On behalf of all who doubted this day would come, we are not worthy, RLM.

Thank you. Thank you all so much. Life has more depth now. Birds' songs are louder. Colors brighter. Sarcasm bitterrer.

lolz...Thanks - loved every second of it...

Re: Paying Student Athletes Is More Than Just A Question of Compensation

Regan — Tue, 13 Oct 2015 01:45:43 -0000

Do a quick survey on non-athletes emerging from college with crushing student debt into a job market where they can barely make ends meet in order to pay off said debt for 20 years and ask them how screwed these kids are to get FREE COLLEGE to PLAY A GAME.

It's always easy to feel like a hero when you're talking about someone else's money.

Re: What would it be like to stand on Jupiter?

1) Wind speed: 400 mph winds are no friend to the human body.
2) Gravity: Crushed to the height of a dime.
3) Temperature: You'd freeze, unless you sank far enough to melt.
4) Radiation: By the time you died from something else, this would be enough.
5) Drowning: Even Superman needs oxygen. If he made it to the mantle, liquid metallic hydrogen can't be breathed.
6) Lightning: Speaking of liquid metallic hydrogen...and lightning hits harder on Jupiter too...
7) Starvation: There is not one morsel of bacon. Anywhere...

The good news? You cannot commit suicide on Jupiter. :)

Studied Jupiter in Astronomy in college. If you stood on the surface of Jupiter, you'd be dead seven different ways...

You have positively no place writing about College Football.

Wouldn't expect a review; just wanted to pass it along. Figured they'd love it. And I was so exited it was out I let EVERYONE know, lol....

Maybe they could do a segment about the phenom of Kickstarter movies....

I'm more exited about Plinkett's return than I am the new SW movie.

100% serious.

It's been almost two and a half years since the last Plinkett Review on Titanic, guys. I love all the stuff you guys do, but we really miss them. There's just nothing like them.

Any movie will do. Thanks...

Signed...

Everyone on the planet.

Re: Homosexual Zealots to Christians in Indiana: Back to the Plantation

Regan — Mon, 06 Apr 2015 23:37:17 -0000

"Slavery" isn't what's emphasized. "Involuntary Servitude" is. As in "providing a service involuntarily".

Claiming that a person must submit to a certain worldview in order to just open a business in the United States is a viewpoint more akin to fascism than that of a free country.

I don't say 'fascist' just to attack it - that's the definition:

"A form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation withcommunity decline, humiliation or victimhood and by compensatorycults of unity, energy and purity, in which a mass-based party ofcommitted nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effectivecollaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties andpursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legalrestraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion.

Re: Pre-Rec: Zelda II – The Adventure of Link

Regan — Fri, 21 Nov 2014 02:52:54 -0000

Zelda 2 cheated. That game CHEATED. NO ONE EVER beat Zelda 2. NO ONE. Anyone who claims otherwise is lying. Period. No other game could make an 11 year old boy take a hatchet to the back deck like Zelda 2. That game is morally wrong and all of civilization is worse off for it. Damn that game. Damn anyone who won't damn that game. Damn anyone who won't sit up all night damning that damned game...

Re: The Worldwide Cheerleader: ESPN and the College Football Playoff

I have literally never been to this site before. Do you not understand what "vested interest" means? It means even if they haven't done anything wrong, they still have the burden of appearance of partiality.

Re: The Worldwide Cheerleader: ESPN and the College Football Playoff

Regan — Thu, 30 Oct 2014 02:21:32 -0000

Folks, the article is about ESPN and vested interests.

In that regard, it's spot-on.

Re: Israel: Military operation against Hamas reaches 'substantial phase'

Regan — Tue, 08 Jul 2014 09:44:27 -0000

I'm going to let fly with my opinion, even though I have no experience dealing with Middle Eastern politics.

I have enough disdain for one side to say something about them in the vein of "everything is their fault", and then follow it up with an accusation of racism.

And then, at some point, I'm going to wonder where the civility has gone.

Re: Blogging jurist to Supreme Court: 'STFU'

Regan — Tue, 08 Jul 2014 08:39:40 -0000

Folks, whether you agree with the SCOTUS decision or not, this is highly unprofessional behavior for a federal judge. Our nation has standards for public servants, and this is one. This man is a judge, not one of us idiots arguing online.

Re: Christian Violence: 3 Annoyingly Common Myths People Still Believe (Part 1)

>>By leaving. Not that hard to do, but since the natives couldn't fight back, there wasn't any point not to save their lives now was there?<<

Right. That would happen. The Smallpox would realize the boat was heading back and would leap out of folks' sinuses yelling "wait for me!"

>>Their casual disregard for their culture and their lives would have had been significantly diminished.<<

People should not be surprised to realize that in more barbaric times, people behaved more barbarically. People who happened to be Christian were killing others who happened to be Christian because their nations were at war, not unlike WWII.

What, do you think that Christianity is a hive mind?

>>Which is a argument against christian morality. So thanks for proving my point.<<

Christians are people. People can be barbaric, though they were once more barbaric. You aren't arguing Christian morality, you are arguing that Christians engaged in:

""systematic exploitation and decimation of native american populations on whole two continents, spanning centuries of oppression and slaughter.""

...due to the *inadvertent* introduction of disease to the Native Americans, judging them as guilty of practical genocide through hindsight.

Be careful getting off that high horse. You could really hurt yourself.

Re: Christian Violence: 3 Annoyingly Common Myths People Still Believe (Part 1)

Regan — Tue, 29 Apr 2014 09:00:42 -0000

Not to butt in, but...

>>It doesn't take much to notice that your arrival in a new land is causing the natives to suddenly die from something unknown to them. It's colossally ignorant and naive to you to think that they never made the connection.<<

Out of curiosity, how exactly can someone stop an epidemic once it has begun? In the 1600's?

>>How they noticed this, and did nothing to help, is no different than killing them with a sword.<<

Help? How? If only the puritans opened up all their vast supplies of advanced medical agents and vaccines. Or maybe they could just instituted Obamacare and saved them all. Or something. In the 1600's.

>>Do you think they would have had acted differently with first encounter if the native Americans were already christian?<<

If the Native Americans were Christians, certainly the Europeans would have held their breath for them. It's not like Christians in Europe were killing each other during this time.

Asemodeus, human beings are selfish people, regardless of what religion they follow. Nothing, I repeat - nothing - could have been done to prevent the decimation of the Native Americans any more than it could have been done to prevent Europe from losing half its population to the Black Plague.

Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush is not president. Hasn't been for five years.

And in case you didn't notice, we were in the middle of two wars back then.

But none of that matters. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush. Bush.

For what it's worth, you're on fire this morning...

But they never listen. They can't understand a world where they're wrong. Keep pointing it out, though. Independent-minded people read these things too, and they can still be reasoned with.
