penultimatestraw 473 Posted April 25, 2011 So you'd hit a woman if she hit you? I wouldn't. Maybe rape which is then justified, but not hitting. Hitting in the act of rape would be satisfactory. What if a kid hit you? I would rape both women and children, but only if they did so first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mookz 1,375 Posted April 26, 2011 itsatip: intellectually honest participants in a debate don't simultaneously insult people of a different view engage them on a topic and whine about the same thing being said over and over again, and then try to trollbait the topic into staying open for continuation of the exact same purpose. HTH. Soon after this thread really got rolling, it was decreed that it would be this decade's "being here illegally is not a crime". But for that to truly happen, and for this thread to become legendary, you would have to leave the bored like torridjoe. At that point the goal was to pile on and frustrate you into leaving (except for a few people who were still actually interested in the debate). That didn't happen, and it's left a bad taste in some people's mouths. Just my take. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's like a pseudointellectual Cal Naughton: "I like to picture Jesus as a figure skater. He wears like a white outfit, and He does interpretive ice dances of my life's journey."

I just haven't seen anything of value from him; he acted like an immature sh!thead in this thread. I feel compelled to answer his question here, though, seeing as I see it after you responded to it. My comment doesn't reference a thing about me hitting a woman. It's about someone hitting someone after - and only after - they've been hit first. The analogy stands.

MTSkiBum 1,626 Posted April 26, 2011 Both of Jonny's posts are great - and correct. This isn't about choosing to play who you think will score the most points, people - not really. It's about hedging your bets, and I cannot explain it any better than Jonny did - he's right. It's about having the smartest lineup in place if you are wrong about who was going to go off. I particularly like this strategy if you are looking to offset the opposing teams strongest player (ala in my case, in considering playing Crayton as one of my WRs because my opponent has Rivers). If you actually pick the players which score the most points, congrats: you couldn't have done any better. But what if you didn't? In the scenario where you put in the player who has a chance to offset one of the opponent's stronger players, and that player doesn't do well, it's better odds that his player didn't do that well either - making this about the rest of the rosters. Like Jonny said - a major consideration in employing this strategy is whether you're heavily favored, or a heavy underdog. If you're an underdog, you go for who will score the most points for you, and ignore this strategy. If you're heavily favored, all you're doing is improving your odds that the determination of whether you win comes down to players other than those who are supposed to cancel each other out - and if you can reduce those odds to as few variables as possible (which this strategy does), the better off you'll be. I did not remember ever reading one of mensa's posts over at the mange board. His 3rd post was defending the cancel out theory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MTSkiBum 1,626 Posted April 26, 2011 Scientists think they have found the answer: The organics were locked in stable chains formed from formaldehyde, an ironic finding considering that formaldehyde ended up being poisonous to the very life it may have made possible."Formaldehyde is very interesting, very reactive. It can even react with itself and form complex polymers," George Cody, a senior scientist at the Carnegie Institution of Washington, told Discovery News. Formaldehyde also is plentiful in molecular clouds in space, meaning ample quantities would have been around for incorporation into the solar system's population. Two chains of evidence support this theory. First, organic solids have been found in meteorites and in comets. A sample from NASA's Stardust comet mission gave Cody and colleagues a sign they were on the right path. http://news.discovery.com/space/life-poison-earth-organics-110425.html We all evolved from formaldehyde.
