Breaker Morant. It's the best film I've seen. It is fascinating, memorable, and stands up to subsequent viewings. It's closer to flawless than any other film I've seen.

rocketslay, I do not believe I can reason with you. I am glad that your stance is not actually "religious freedom is bullshit." It seems to me that we will not be able to reconcile our views.

No, I have not watched the video. I am a schoolteacher typing while my students are tested and in-between grading assignments. I am not about to play a video, the contents of which I do not know. I will watch it after work. Perhaps I should have said that earlier. In any case, fallacious arguments made in the name of religious liberty do not invalidate legitimate arguments made in the name of religious liberty.

Let me respond with a more powerful example. Can you conceive a region more charged with racial prejudice in American history than the South after the Civil War? Can you imagine a greater opportunity for systemic denial of employment based upon race? The freed slaves were largely illiterate and did not have modern means of travel to leave. Agreements were made to not employ blacks; sharecroppers cheated them on contracts. Yet, year after year, more blacks were employed in the South and at less and less unfair rates. It was simply too great of a disadvantage to not hire the cheap labor of the blacks, and even without education, the blacks gradually shifted to sharecroppers/bosses who paid more honestly. Even in the face of concerted collusion, the economic standings of the blacks increased inexorably. Sure, they still had a long way to go in the face of prejudice, but the power of the market is very clearly illustrated.
Does a free market fix everything? No, but it unleashes the greatest human energies to the highest degree of good.

My point is that these things are of deep importance to people. Consider that a great many ancestors of Americans emigrated here to find a place where they could practice their religions.

You already said religious freedom is good, so you've essentially validated my point. Just because Hitler was evil does not mean law and order are bad. I'd love to know how someone is supposed to campaign with a message of lawlessness and chaos. Likewise, opponents of what you believe in will invoke good things (religious freedom) to make their argument. The question is, "how good/sound is the argument?"

So, the government should determine the state religion? Take a look at nations run that way. Where are they on the spectrum of civil/human rights? I'm not talking about nations which have a national church, but those which have legal systems and systems of government based around religion. Edit: Also, how about those founded upon atheism (Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia, etc.)?

...yes. And then the rest of the free society may act accordingly. If I don't allow blacks in my restaurant, then several things happen. I lose the business of blacks. I lose the business of a lot of their friends. I gain the reputation of a jackass (rightfully so in this example). I thus give other businesses a competitive edge over me and lower my profits. My employees may not be compensated as well, they may leave, etc. Free markets put substantial prices on bigotry.

Right, because one's belief or disbelief in matters involving the supernatural are totally unimportant to each person and are no more important than, say, one's preference for certain sports teams or colors. Just opinions. Some may not believe in a divine being or beings, an afterlife or lives, but to imply that these are not great and weighty matters in the minds and souls of others is silly.

Just because someone uses a concept to argue against something you approve does not make that concept wrong/bad/invalid. This is the same logical fallacy one finds in these memes comparing Trump to Hitler. "Did this or that in the name of 'law and order'." Guess what? Law and order are good; they are the precise reason we have government. Some people who preach law and order are good, others not. Some have good intentions, some do not. However, they all recognize that the concept of law and order (like religious freedom) is good, that the majority of people recognize it as such, and thus they gain support by claiming, truthfully or otherwise, to uphold or pursue it.

I disagree with practically all that you say here. However, I am glad that you have the freedom to speak your mind on any issue; that this country is one "conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal."

Platinum. Sounds cool, can be shortened to 'Plat.'

Also like Relic and GeaR.

Sure. Just seemed to me that "last seen" would imply he hasn't played on a team at all since then.

Hope the team reaches its potential.

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't phorofor play IM last season?

Maybe so.

If that's the case, wouldn't he be disinterested in growing the scene? People may disagree about how this should be done/whether b4nny's ideas are the right way, but I don't think one can dispute that he wants the pond to get bigger.

Looking forward to the documentary. Thanks ESA.

No need; Corsa spends most of his time cloaked.

Did you ask?

There have been three best of 5 series to decide international TF2 LANs; i55, i58, and Rewind. The teams that won the first map of those series are 0-3. Probably a coincidence, but it's an odd one.

Flank Scout: yomps
Pocket Scout: b4nny
Roamer: Garbuglio (Drackk was very good and -blaze was solid)
Pocket: Paddie
Demo: Actually thought Bdonski was pretty solid in the games I saw.
Medic: Raymon (cookiejake was the most entertaining)

Also, the casters dwelt at length about b4nny underperforming. I took a few minutes to do the math: b4nny had a K/A/D of, from memory, 302/183/184 with 279 dpm. I know stats don't always tell the whole story and he had a few maps where he went negative, but I thought he played pretty well.
