DShomshak Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 I admit I haven't followed the Scottish independence movement, so the only policy I've heard suggested to follow "Scoxit" is for Scotland to rejoin the EU. Which is understandable, I guess. But speaking of precedents... One of the arguments I heard for "Scoxit" was that if the UK can leave the EU because it doesn't like being dictated to by Brussels, why shouldn't Scotland leave the UK because it doesn't like being dictated to by London? But then where do you stop? Several months ago, the BBC did a story about people in the Orkneys who feel little love for the rest of Scotland. Suggestions of "Orxit" are probably just the locals having a laugh at the expense of silly southern folk who clearly don't have enough real work to do. Probably. Any further discussion of the merits or demerits of Scottish secession should probably go in the Politics thread. I'm only commenting to bring up the "Orxit" joke.

Old Man Posted November 26, 2022 Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 He'd make a good Walter White. At least visually. Tony Stark would be easily manipulated by Luthor, but at the end of the day Stark wins because this is comics and he's the good guy. wcw43921 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted November 26, 2022 Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 Comic-book Tony Stark isn't as egotistical as Lex Luthor. Ego is the universal master-villain Achilles heel. Now, if we're talking a straight fight, Death Battle has a researched take on that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yeHt0uHElI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe to avoid any death penalty prosecution? I could see the federal charges dropped as part of a plea bargain, and I'd be fine with it. The state charges include life without parole...and when you're 19, that's 50, 60 years? My personal opinion...that's worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclevlad Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 Makes me sad...and feeling old. 79.... I was still in college when Rumors came out. They did a concert at CU, in Folsom Stadium, my freshman year. HUGE!!!! concert. JAM PACKED. No, I didn't have a ticket...spending money? Non-existent. Caught parts of it in areas around the stadium, as did quite a few others. This was their massive Rumours tour; it'd come out only 3 months earlier, so they were at the absolute top of the rock world. https://www.facebook.com/dailycamera/photos/a.442345411190/10152368344776191/?paipv=0&eav=AfalTl8FliyU7tlPkMJNI54xZMCdd1dJ4sMgs03qZIip0Bt5Mky2GxPVxEWl9TC278I&_rdr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
