"It is just *assumed* that any change must be our fault, that the Earth is static and doesn't ever change unless we do it."

There's literally nobody except you who thinks this.

This is really a list of historical ground breaking movies.

Citizen Kane hasn't held up as well as film buffs like to think.

Vertigo is a good but not particularly memorable thriller. Psycho is way more important.

The Wizard of Oz, like Citizen Kane really only stands out in context of its time.

Casablanca and Lawrence of Arabia are truly great movies even today. I'm not sure anyone has ever really recreated Cassablanca's magic.

How do you know some butterfly didn't cause the birds to move?

Those seagulls probably saw the storm.

Maybe people shouldn't have to work so much? Just pay people a living salary for doing 10 hours per week or something. Isn't that the dream? If we get more stuff for less work, let's kick back a little bit and let people do what they want most of the time. I think we'll be amazed at what will happen when most of the world's time is freed.

You do the job long enough and it's bound to happen.

They say they would have backed you up, but you can't trust those guys.

So your whole country is being incinerated from the air. You have a few downed pilots who could tell you a thing or two about how to stop them.

Case Closed.

Only we hanged the Japanese torturers for doing that, and rightly so.

You are a coward and a monster.

... Unless the escape was harrowing.

Without regulated net neutraility, your concept would never work, since the big carriers could just pick favorites among the little guys and dictate who actually gets to run fiber into your neighborhood. Yeah, other companies could, but they're going to get just a trickle of bandwidth.

In the end, it all comes down to cock size.

You have to balance all that against white people's inability to dance and, in general, to carry a syncopated rhythm.

I'm just going to hope you're a troll. If you managed to post that without irony, then you're too stupid to read and understand a reply anyway.

A significant number of people are still anti-torture, but they weren't a majority yesterday, either.

Hey, if torturing some random guy makes you feel better about not saving those kids, who are we to stand in your way?

There is something disturbing about people that feel personally accused anytime some brings up the (painfully obvious) societal biases on race, sexuality, gender etc.
