I don't think the Wii won if you consider game sales, which is after all what consoles are all about. Too lazy to actually look up numbers though.

Whoever wins the previous console generation becomes super arrogant and loses the next generation because of it. Happened to Sony with PS3 and now to MS with Xbone. (Well, Sony lost with PS3 in the US, may be not worldwide).

Confusions over Illegal Immigrants vs Refugees
Wrath of Dagon replied to ktchong's topic in Way Off-Topic
They'd harvest the fields if those jobs paid enough. Of course when welfare benefits exceed the rewards of hard work, rationally you would choose the former. And harvesting the fields isn't the only jobs illegals are taking, it's virtually all unskilled jobs, which would otherwise be entry level jobs people could get training in. Instead American citizens are encouraged to become dependent on the government, causing immense social problems and rotting our society from within. If you open the border to all who want to come here, we'll soon be overwhelmed and dragged to the level of the countries they're trying to escape to start with. Not to mention once they're legal, they'd be eligible for the very same welfare benefits, or are you going to let their poor hungry children starve because the mother with 20 children can't find work in our cruel capitalist system? Edit: Even if you just want to keep criminals, weapons and drugs out (weapons actually flow the other way, not that it shouldn't be stopped also), you still have to secure the borders, something the government simply refuses to do in spite of all the laws. If that was done, then we could democratically decide what level of legal immigration we want to allow, but I guess since the general populace is too stupid, you don't believe things should be decided democratically either.- 88 replies

Confusions over Illegal Immigrants vs Refugees
Wrath of Dagon replied to ktchong's topic in Way Off-Topic
It's funny that the people who most support raising the minimum wage also support illegal aliens taking American jobs, working for sub-minimum wage and not paying taxes, something that low-skilled American workers have no chance of competing against. "Hey, you deserve a living wage, but guess what, you can't actually have the job that would give you a living wage, because we gave them all to the illegals."- 88 replies

I've been reading historical English novels, and it's funny how the issues they were dealing with are the same ones we're still dealing with; like the one I'm reading now has a stock market bubble in 1820's, and it sounds exactly like early 2000's. Truly the nature of man never changes.

So what's so complicated? You just explained it perfectly, except it's not easy to come legally, too many people want in, sometimes the wait is as long as 20 years even for people with family here (not that's it's our problem, improve your own countries, we're not responsible for everyone). Its funny but with the drain on your countries resources and fact you guys have really large numbers of illegal immigrants this comment is the last thing I would expect to hear from you? What are you going to tell me next, you support the Democrats? I was being sarcastic. But thanks to the Lightworker, we now have open borders, so yeah.

Yeah, well, it's no use to discuss things with conspiracy theorists. Any evidence is just more evidence of the conspiracy, kind of like global warming. The issue is whether it was Hamas or some other terrorists. Anyone who thinks Israelis killed their own kids are on a different astral plane anyway.

I want proof. Here you go : http://archive.adl.org/israel/israel_sbarro.html If you don't believe my source, you can google it yourself. They're Muslim Brotherhood, the mother of all jihadists. They consider the existence of Israel to be occupation. Similarly Boko Haram and ISIS are fighting to achieve Muslim domination over all others.

But, but, Rostere says all Arab terrorism is Israel's fault. They happily sent suicide bombers to intentionally kill children. The majority of Palestinians wildly celebrated those attacks and even made recreated bombing scenes for the population to admire.

It's kept in that state because it's at war with Israel, mostly by its own government which spends all its money on weapons and tunnels. The tunnels under the Israeli border didn't even have their exits open, as soon as they're used they would be discovered, they're one time use only. Anyway, you sound like you're 13 at best, so I'm through talking with you.

Has your incredible bias completely blinded you to the facts? Do you not realize there were something like 30 tunnels dug under the Israeli border, preparing for a huge attack, potentially with thousands of victims, for the fall? Not to mention incessant rocket attacks from Gaza. This is what you call not rocking the boat? Tunnels digged in a blockaded area that is lacking food, water and medicine, and where needed supplies can be brought in via said tunnels? IMPOSSIBLE! First, tunnels used for smuggling are under the Egyptian border, the tunnels under the Israeli border are purely for terrorist attacks. Second, humanitarian supplies are not blockaded, only things which could be used for military purposes, which Hamas has been able to obtain anyway so far. Why don't you stop spouting off about things you obviously know nothing about?

Not to mention incessant rocket attacks from Gaza. This is what you call not rocking the boat? Yes, and Israel has ****ING NUCLEAR WEAPONS. Hypocrisy much? Way to change the subject. You claim Hamas wasn't rocking the boat, I point out they were massively investing into terrorist tunnels, then you bring up nuclear weapons, which have nothing to do with anything. Are you saying Israel doesn't need to defend themselves because they have nuclear weapons, or that they should go ahead and use them? Israelis only discovered a few of the tunnels accidentally because of heavy rains. The reason Hamas tunnel attacks weren't more successful (although successful enough from Israeli point of view) is because they happened in the middle of a military operation, and also they were expected. Had they all happened simultaneously and by surprise, it could've been far worse. The fact that they haven't been used as soon as they were built tells me they were being saved up for a single spectacular attack

You know, the exact opposite of what you said. How enlightening a trip to wikipedia can be. I said IPCC admitted there's very little evidence global warming causes catastrophic weather events. Nothing in your quote contradicts that. The last time IPCC claimed that was in AR4, in 2007. This is the same end of the world crap Malthusians have been peddling for over 200 years! Edit : Also, deserts "greening" from rising CO2 http://wattsupwiththat.com/2013/07/08/deserts-greening-from-rising-co2/

Israel can't just do nothing while rockets are being fired all over the country. Even if most have been shot down or hit empty land, quite a few have hit civilian targets. Hamas refuses to accept a ceasefire. People can't live constantly running for the shelter for weeks on end. It's amazing there are some who just can't understand that. The only option for Israel right now is to continue the ground offensive until the rocket fire ceases one way or the other. In other news, for the second time UN finds Hamas rockets in their schools : http://www.foxnews.com/world/2014/07/22/hamas-hiding-rockets-in-schools-children-playgrounds-israel-and-un-agency-say/

None of what you stated is evidence, and most of it isn't even true. The earth is greener now than a century ago and producing more food than at any time in its existence. Even the IPCC had to admit there's virtually no evidence global warming has anything to do with catastrophic weather events. May be you should read up on that. Edit: Btw, the food shortages and high food prices had to do with the idiotic greeny warmist idea of using food for fuel, i.e. corn ethanol, one of the most destructive ideas ever, as well as other factors. Now the warming lunatics don't want African countries to develop because that would cause an increase in consumption of fossil fuels. If anyone is trying to keep people in the dark ages it's people like you.

Desire or lack of evidence? No, he's not a respected climate authority, he's a creationist & a crank. http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Roy_Spencer http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2011/04/review-of-spencers-great-global-warming-blunder/ Both sources you're quoting have a known agenda, which is to attack anyone who questions the global warming hysteria. Rational wiki article is just a bunch of unsubstantiated accusations and name calling, such as where are the links and the evidence? RealClimate is more respectful, but doesn't show that anything Spencer stated is incorrect so far as I can see. Edit: OK, after I posted, I noticed that my quote from rationalwiki does in fact have a link in it. I would agree his belief in ID as scientific theory does somewhat undermine his credibility, although I think his main point is that evolution theory has many holes in it.

OK, so you've got both an ad hominem and a strawman argument all in the same post. Dr Spencer is a well respected climate authority, so if you're going to cast aspersions you need to challenge something he's actually said. As far as energy efficiency, reducing pollution, almost no one is against that. What reasonable people are against is the idea that fossil fuels must be eliminated as soon as possible, regardless of the cost, else the world will end.
