The idea, perhaps, is more along the lines that 95% of board games are crap and would never ever get published, and therefore, would never ever get played.

Except, of course, Kickstarter lets you self-publish. Unfortunately, that doesn't put the game in the 5% category with all the other published games, it's still crap except people will play it once or twice before forgetting about it on a shelf and hoping it's be worth something in 50 years since the print run was so small.

Because the US throwing it's military weight around has served us so well in the past. All we're doing is breeding next-generation terrorists this generation and bad blood to last many more generations.

Depends on the poll. When you start seeing polls about how "the majority of Americans xyz" where xyz is something controversial, it's to manipulate us into thinking we stand alone in the minority. The questions are asked several different ways until they get the numbers they want, and those numbers are then used to isolate and discourage the outraged.

For all of those not old enough to remember Star Wars was ret-con'd to Star Wars Episode IV

Personally, I would like to see -1 posts lose anonymity and have the username or IP address exposed. People obviously not adding to the discussion and trying to be disruptive should be exposed.

I'm not old enough to tell for sure, but there's a huge movement in modern discourse for the acceptance of ad hominem attacks as substitutions for actual discussion of ideas. "You must be republican", "you must be white", "check your privilege", "seriousness of the charge".

Of course anonymous comments have less value. It's boring to actually argue the message with logic and reason. They'd rather just call them names and attack the person.

Interesting observation about those dumb CNN non-anonymous threads: with a global audience, an individual's name doesn't even mean that much. It's value as an identifier only applies to data-mining. A name "Sally Smithers" might mean something in a small town, but with a few billion people online, it might as well be "Anonymous Nobody".

Why yes I would like to lift a car by wiggling my ear.

I'm not gay, but it's nice to get a little attention every now and then.

For the average person, muscles are just there to look good, not actually to climb mountains or run farther.

Considering all the pressure on athletes to break records, I would expect a Juice League to earn much more than their non-steroid counterpart, as it would be more exciting for the fans.
