Your Most Controversial Opinions!

or rather, religions. mathematicians readily admit it's a religious idea, based on the faith in their initial axioms. well, there is, but only so it doesn't happen again. so i'll throw my controversial corollary into the mix: the nation most likely to commit the next holocaust is israel. when one examines some zionist propaganda, it reads a lot like nazism from time to time. the only difference is that the jews posed no real threat to germany, but the palestinians really have bombs. as a religous person, i am forced to agree. speaking of which, allow to reiterate exactly how much his script for alien: resurrection blew. it made alien 3 (with 13 rejected drafts, and a shooting script written during shooting) look like a classic, and avp look decent. it butchered the greatest alien comic ever drawn. i wrote a similar treatment when i was 12. it's that bad.everytime someone in hollywood goes "i know, let's give the script treatment to joss whedon!" they should be slapped with a copy of buffy the vampire slayer. and then copies of every single episode of the tv show.Edited by arachnophilia, : No reason given.

i not only fail to see the supposed difference between humans and other animals, i also think most people are generally dumber than my cats. the only thing that makes us something more than mere monkeys is our technology (especially razors), which de-centralizes knowledge, and possibly even makes us stupider. no one person can do much of anything, if you really think about it. and 90% of the people out there can't even use the technology we've got, let alone explain how it works or construct something like it themselves.i think the fact that humans are really stupid pack animals explains quite a lot about society as a whole.Edited by arachnophilia, : No reason given.

biology studies the real world, not a theoretical model of it.

edit: that's very strange, somehow, it pulled brenna's login information cookie instead of mine. i know i've posted more recently on this computer than she has. not totally true. lots of stuff is rejected in religion. look at, say, the inquisition. i'm not sure that's perfectly accurate, but generally true. ironically, most people aren't totally aware of the holocaust wrt to anyone other than the jews. 5-6 million people in other groups died too. and much fewer people have heard of stalin's holocaust, or mao's... really, we should learn from our history, and it's a mistake to focus on one tiny portion of it, and then not learn from it. it seems that the lesson most people take is "killing jews is bad" instead of what the warning signs and dangerous ideology are. to jean-pierre jeunet's credit, he was responsible for city of lost children. but it's hard to stand up to people like ridley scott and james cameron and david fincher, and really, it's just not the right style for the franchise. but yes, i blame most of it on whedon. it's just a really, really bad script.speaking of which, he's writing a script for wonder woman right now. and let me tell you how excited i am about that! it promises to be better than that fantastic four movie!

Was asked to revise the script for X-Men (2000), and reportedly decided the whole script needed to be totally rewritten, when he handed the studio this draft, they apparently threw it out, they only really wanted him to add a couple jokes here and there.

in reference to joss whedon?nearest i can tell, he didn't have anything to do with either of them. the producers hired him breifly for the first x-men movie to insert some jokes, but he thought the script was so bad he completely re-wrote it. his re-write was discarded. so our venn diagram of "likes x-men" and "joss whedon" has no overlap.i will give him credit of helping to write the first toy story, which was a decent movie, as i recall. i haven't seen the second.Edited by arachnophilia, : typoe

it's a rather biased statement, and one that's actually unfounded, i'll admit. it's more of a joke directly mostly at physics than anything. all science certainly studies the real world.
