You do you man, I have my opinion you have yours
- Comment on David McBride: former army lawyer sentenced to five years for stealing and leaking Afghanistan war documents 3 days ago:
I’m saying it’s better a fucked up secret is kept than 10 people die not the other way around
- Comment on David McBride: former army lawyer sentenced to five years for stealing and leaking Afghanistan war documents 3 days ago:
I don’t have great thought out answers, everything you say is a good point. I still believe war secrets are necessary and releasing them should be punishable.
Put 10 years on the incident and a review process provided the conflict is over and then have at it. However if it is proven necessary then scott free for those involved.
The problem is then everyone person with boots on the ground will live in fear of what they may have done after ten years rolls around. Especially as socially society shifts
- Comment on David McBride: former army lawyer sentenced to five years for stealing and leaking Afghanistan war documents 3 days ago:
I just don’t think we can live in such a black and white world.
I wish we could.
I’m not saying you’re wrong in any point though, I think i you’re entirely right. Just it’s all an impossible situation.
- Comment on David McBride: former army lawyer sentenced to five years for stealing and leaking Afghanistan war documents 3 days ago:
Yeah unfortunately nothing is infallible and it’s better in my opinion to keep a fucked up secret then have 10 men die so we can be open and honest all the time
- Comment on David McBride: former army lawyer sentenced to five years for stealing and leaking Afghanistan war documents 3 days ago:
I will concede we should know what is going on, but unfortunately I’m certainly not qualified to make decisions on what we should and shouldn’t know and i doubt you are either.
It’s bad to know we have to live in ignorance, but imagine if an asteroid was coming to earth tomorrow 50/50 of hitting, the right thing would be tell everyone and let us make our own decisions. The ramifications from that though would be monumental. Yes this is hyperbole but it I think gets my point across.
Sometimes people in power know better, and if this was the worst thing happening then we’re not doing to bad.

It’s still treason, the journo doesn’t have clearance, you don’t know what someone might have on said journo etc.
I admit it’s not a great example of our democracy manifest .
It’s authoritarian as fuck, but it’s overseas in active combat zones

Like going chilli picking with the missus
- Comment on Carpet 3 days ago:
Yeah but you need to take a torch to really see it and nothing beats how it looks at sunset
- Comment on David McBride: former army lawyer sentenced to five years for stealing and leaking Afghanistan war documents 3 days ago:
I think leaking military secrets is as good as treason.
Down vote me all you like.
I also recognise it’s a slippery slope that will lead to criminal investigations etc being leaked and punished just as hard to keep a politician or police officer safe.
The difference is the military is here to protect everyone, the police are here to protect those in power.

I think they’re saying intellectually the work is amazing.
Ignoring all other factors they do shit right
- Comment on "Grow up. These are my movies, not yours": George Lucas Won't be Happy How Star Wars Fan Group is Illegally Saving the Original Trilogy 1 week ago:
I would pay good money to have the original trilogy owned digitally and in 4k so I can have it forever.
It is still jarring to me today to watch the movie and see the changes, they’re not the films I grew up watching over and over on VHS.

Yeah governments hate debt but don’t realise the entire world runs in debt.
You just need to manage it correctly. Further on that though, governments shouldn’t make a fucking dollar. They’re not for profit businesses they should all run at exactly zero
- Comment on D&D makers are spending $1 billion on their own video games, promising they’ll be ‘quality and authentic’ like Baldur’s Gate 3 2 weeks ago:
Imagine you buy the base game and it comes with the fighter class only.
Then it’s 20 dollars for the rogue and each other class.
Wizard spells, forget that gold cost to scribe a spell into your book. Pay real money to own the spell.
Only 5 hours of content initially too, new parts of the story released monthly with a subscription tied to it.
- Comment on Royal Mail waives £5 penalty charge for fake stamps 2 weeks ago:
Yeah the Australian Post is fucked here too.
Lose shit can’t do anything and is a bloated government service that can’t do its job.
Privatisation would fix so much right up until they’re the only carrier and we pay through the nose for post.
Better yet post as a subscription service would he the way it would go if it went private.

Mid to late 2000s adds were very easy to avoid
Didn’t have to pay to see much of anything.
Just every now and then a virus.
Soon we will return to that, except smarter and more adept at not downloading viruses and traps songs labelled as Linkin park

I saw I am legend I cinemas with my brother I would have been 16 him 11.
When Will Smith killed his dog my brother started balling his eyes out and I started laughing at him uncontrollably. I’m sure from an outside perspective I looked like a psycho
