Part of that is exageration and fear mongering for sure.. the whole terrorist nonsense was a lot of that.

But some of it is because humans are destructive and stupid and when we are forced (or choose to) change our ways it fixes the problem.

The key is understanding which is which.

@clacke @lucifargundam

@icedquinn Thats not really fair.. dont get me wrong the rich and the government can use fear mongering and exaggerated many issues. But a lot of them have proven to be correct and that us actually making significant global changes averted the problem.

As we discussed in the other thread the ozone layer is a great example. They said CFC would cause ozone depletion that was greater than the rate at which the ozone replenishes.. year after year we saw exactly that with the CFC being proportional to depletion. We took action and globally banned CFC and its no longer used and replacements are used instead. Within years, right on cue and as scientists predicted, the ozone layer began to repair itself and was fixed after some time.

@icedquinn

To be fair we absolutely were on the verge of a global disaster.. Just goes to show you science was right, we banned CFCs globally and almost completely addressed the problem and the hole within a few years fixed itself.

@lucifargundam

Keep in mind your reading about the renegade edition. In other words, they did highlander 2, completely fucked it up, then try to fix it years later by editing out and correcting the horrible story line and while they patched a few holes it was still horrible and made no sense.

For example in the original highlander 2 they were aliens from another planet. So the scene on the planet where they all attack katan with advanced weapons that look basically like modern day military guns makes so sense when the dubbed over it and made it from the past instead.. they didnt have guns in the past!

@clacke

@pganssle Yea I have thought about this often too.

@lucifargundam

Yup, the man is the devil's right hand.

@swiley

Ahh in that case, yea, not much you can do there.

@swiley

This picture was from my house in the city.. that shouldnt stop you.

@Science

@mur2501 I wish!

A picture of my home Organic Chemistry lab I took about 8 years ago. Its really not hard to set up a home lab, and you can buy all the fancy stuff as you go if you want, but you can do a lot with even a basic setup.

@Wetrix Yea the transformer movies had no right existing. They were just movies about explosions and Megan Fox's tits. Not even sure why they had to drag optimums into that, they should have just called it "Megan Fox, and explosions"

@clacke

This right here is how I know the devil exists. Only he could turn a heart so pure into the black coal necessary to produce Highland II

@realcaseyrollins I have a feeling if you try to hold up a gun store, bullets or not, youll get your ass shot.. which i guess goes back to your point anyway, a good guy with a gun still stopped him, just stopped him from stealing the bullets :)

@2ck Though now that I think about it after hangouts went by the wayside the commercial high quality choices (ones you dont have to run your own server for or rely on small time servers) are minimal.

@2ck yea I didnt expect that either to be honest.

@realcaseyrollins good luck holding up a gun store :)

@realcaseyrollins Or bullets that are too expensive :)
