      Dizzy: My mother always told me that violence doesn’t solve anything.

      Jean Rasczak: Really? I wonder what the city founders of Hiroshima would have to say about that.

      [to Carmen] Jean Rasczak: You.

      Carmen: They wouldn’t say anything. Hiroshima was destroyed.

      Jean Rasczak: Correct. Naked force has resolved more conflicts throughout history than any other factor. The contrary opinion, that violence doesn’t solve anything, is wishful thinking at its worst. People who forget that always die.

        If that were in the starship troopers novel from 1959 it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest.

    Depends on the topic. Like when cloning comes up, people tend not to Bible thump; instead they explain that we shouldn’t do it because they saw a movie about a fully automated theme park featuring dinosaurs.

    You know… evidence!

    See this with brands now too. People who think YTers have sold out post a rant. One guy yesterday ranted at the guy about endorsing a “scam” about a product that actually worked. Doesnt have to just be science now, it can be anything objective. Anything that actually works. People are scared of trusting any due process.
