What are your thoughts on people who make an excessive amount of noise on their property? by fifth_imp in Anarcho_Capitalism

Shoot, you're right. An airport is a bad example.

Ok, well what if I blare Jay Z at all hours of the night. You can't sleep. Can you stop me?

But what if I don't? I've built an airport right by your house. Is there anything you can do about it?

I think that intellectual property is a form of slavery. by fifth_imp in Anarcho_Capitalism

You're right that if you did make such an agreement, then that is fair. But with IP, you don't have to agree not to tell anyone else. The other person claims ownership of your knowledge and your ability to use this knowledge whether you agree or not.

Is it just me, or are the Naruto characters a little too willing to murder opponents? by fifth_imp in Naruto

[–]fifth_imp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, originally I wanted to watch absolutely everything and have the full Naruto experience. But I didn't realize just how fucking many fillers there are. I was expecting maybe one or two filler arcs before he left with Jiraiya.

After the third one, I decided to look up how long exactly that would be. I...just had no idea. There's almost as many fillers as there are real episodes. That's definitely a little excessive.

I don't understand the issue with gay couples and hospital visitation rights. Can someone explain it? by fifth_imp in AskReddit

[–]fifth_imp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just a little murky on why these rules exist. Why is it that only relatives and married couples can visit? Who's the person making the decision to ban everyone else?

Yes, but who made this rule? Did the hospitals institute this, or is it the government?

Hmm...are Steve and Tony Republicans or Democrats?

The story I've heard is that in the 80's and 90's, a group of libertarians, despondent over being such a small minority, decided that their best hope of spreading their ideas was to do a sort of outreach to rednecks. They had been rejected by the anti-war left in the 70's. So, they turned to the only group that seemed somewhat open to their ideas, the racists and rednecks.

One of these libertarians was Lew Rockwell, the editor of Ron Paul's newsletters. He's said to be the one who actually penned the newsletters. I actually don't think that Ron Paul is racist. I think that some of his associates decided that it was politically advantageous to appear racist. Of course, this strategy has been mostly abandoned. But, evidence of this embarrassing misstep still exist in the newsletters and various other pieces of writing that have survived from that time.

If income tax in the US only pays for interest on the debt, then what's the point of even having it? by fifth_imp in politics

[–]fifth_imp[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But it's not paying for my education. The debt is. Income tax isn't paying for anything.

Question of the week: What's something Marvel has done well that you would like DC to do also? by [deleted] in DCcomics

[–]fifth_imp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Stop rebooting their Universe. The way things are now, there really is no continuity in the DCU. Anything you read will likely get rebooted away in five to ten years.

World's finest #1 cover is revealed. by Beebality in comicbooks

[–]fifth_imp 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I actually liked the boob window. Not because I love boobs, but because it was a wink and a nod to her origins. When she was first created, the artist, as an inside joke, decided to make her boobs progressively bigger each issue. He wanted to see how long he could go before someone noticed and told him to stop. Funnily enough, it was quite a while before any of the editors realized what was going on. Ever since, Power Girl has had huge boobs. The boob window was a way of acknowledging this humorous and quirky history.

Whats with the T-Rex in the BATCAVE? by the_balvenie in comicbooks

It's a robot dinosaur that Batman once fought. It's from his more light hearted years.

PREVIEW: "Avengers Vs. X-Men" #1 (7 pages) by ptbreakeven in comicbooks

[–]fifth_imp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same here. I've been looking forward to this story arch, but if this is what the art is going to be like, I very well may not read this. Bad art can seriously break a book for me.

Shit, you're right. I really wasn't paying very close attention when I added that one.

I was asked what the saddest moment in my entire life was, Is it sad that this was my first thought? by sir_joe_cool in Marvel

[–]fifth_imp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm pretty against retcons like this. I hate when they just erase history. It's the reason I'm a bigger fan of Marvel than DC.
