Kylo Ren losing to Rey is a bit unbelievable. If he is 29, and she is 19, and Kylo has made it his life mission to hunt and kill Jedi, and we know he is responsible for wiping out Luke's jedi temple... well, I just had a hard time believing it.

Rey being good with a staff would not in the least contribute to skill with a lightsaber, especially in a situation with non-existent preparation.

It is not incoherent to suggest the thread title presupposes Fallout 4 dominance. The topic creator's own comments lend support to this theory. It is a shame because there is no current guarantee of the aforementioned occurence. An alternative thread title would be preferable as other games look to compete. Indeed, it is my contention that one game will not sweep award ceremonies in 2015 the way Inquisition did in 2014. Now, of course, Gamespot did not grant Inquisition its highest honor, but a large amount of gaming outlets did. And, if one may permit an off-hand remark; Gamespot has never bestowed upon a Bioware title its game of the year award, which is atypical.

Your source doesn't actually back that up

This comment strikes me as odd. While it is strictly correct, the article does not mention hypergamy; I would contend that the comment itself is misleading. This is because the data found in OP's source is a logical implication of hypergamy. So, I'm presuming here, that you really don't want to believe in feminine hypergamy. Regardless, it's a well documented concept in evolutionary psychology.

I wonder what the jail sentence is for threatening someone's life while enacting physical harm against that same individual is?

The stupidity of that court decision inspires a rant so filled with profanity that it should stay in my head for fear of repercussion.

[QUOTE="gamerguru100"][QUOTE="silly_pants"] Women are actually attracted to darker skin on average in men.silly_pants
Have you met all 3.5 billion women on the planet to confirm that?

Keyword: ON AVERAGE Do you know how polling and studies work? On average lighter skin is considered more attractive for females with the inverse for men (darker skin being more attractive). I am just saying the world is not so simple as "white man" = easy life.

If I'm not mistaken, men preferred a lighter skin tone while women were indifferent to skin color.

If your allowed to say money can get you both, I suppose that's the obvious answer. But that seems like a cheap way out, a better question would be all the entertainment money could buy (except for women) vs women.

their is no such thing as a bad word.

i say any word i want even your so "CURSE" words that is so called forbidden. I will turn around and tell anyone who tells me not to say it and respond "Their is no such thing as a bad word, until your soul burns because a word don't tell me to stop"

YES i do say this to people

IF it is one thing i am glad about living in this generation and looking to the future is all the old people who think their soul is going burning is leaving this world...

k2theswiss

Ok, I do not think that I'm going to suffer in the next life if I cuss, that is ridiculous. But I do think it is extremely impolite to use words that are socially inappropiate in front of other people. You can get away with it though I suppose, if your just hanging out with close friends.

Also, you can forget about sounding intelligent if you like to curse.

Superman is lightyears beyond Goku in terms of physical strength and at the same time Goku's ki attacks can be too much for Superman. DBZ has too large a gap between physical strength and ki. By the end of the Cell saga, the characters are established as at least planet busters and yet Goku at base still capped somewhere below 10 tons. http://oi39.tinypic.com/2s8ikj9.jpg Compare that to DC, where Superman's physical strength allows him to tow planets. We're talking about a difference of 10 tons and 6x10^20 tons. http://oi42.tinypic.com/25krg2h.jpg Even with the boosts from his SSJ transformations, Goku's strength doesn't even come close to that level. (Not to mention the fact that Goku can't even fight at his peak for very long.) http://oi42.tinypic.com/350tbg3.jpg This is also evident through the fights in DBZ. If a character punches another, he gets sent flying somewhere within the same vicinity. In DC, fights are on a much larger scale. http://oi41.tinypic.com/15zsjl3.jpg http://oi43.tinypic.com/23k5gu8.jpg And a punch doesn't just send someone flying off to a distant mountain. They go through Earth or from the sun all the way to Earth. http://oi39.tinypic.com/10iijnr.jpg http://oi42.tinypic.com/2ivis60.jpg At the same time, Goku is capable of ki blasts that can decimate a solar system. But the important thing to note is that while physical strength and ki blasts have a large gap in power in DB, Superman's strength pretty much scales with his durability. He is capable of taking a sun going supernova in his face after all. http://oi41.tinypic.com/5x4w0z.jpg So Goku has to charge his kamehameha to solar system buster scale because Superman would be able to survive anything less, and he wouldn't have the time to do that. Simply put, Superman's punch is too much for Goku and Goku's fully charged kamehameha is too much for Superman. They're both capable of beating the other, but there are certain factors to consider, the most important being speed and survivability. Speed is almost a non-issue because we don't know their exact speeds, just that they are way beyond light speed. Goku has IT, but he almost never uses it battle because he requires a ki lock to use it. Otherwise speed isn't really too big of an issue. We can assume they're at least the same speed. Survivability is the main factor. As mentioned earlier, Goku doesn't have the physical strength to take a punch from Superman. Superman however can take on Goku's punches and weaker ki attacks. A punch would be easier to land than a fully charged kamehameha. Not just that, but if the fight is taken into outer space, which Superman does often, Goku would be unable to survive. http://oi39.tinypic.com/8vxnwj.jpg This is perhaps the most important factor. When we're talking about Superman and planet-busting, it's highly likely that the fight will go to that level and Goku can't win there. So while hypothetically, they're both capable of beating each other, Superman has better chances of surviving and is therefore the likely winner of the duel. Counterargument 1: Instant Kamehameha - Goku's IT requires a ki lock. That is its disadvantage over Kibito's Instantaneous Movement technique. Notice that on the canon occasions that Goku does use it in battle (Instant Kamehameha and against Buu), he was in the same vicinity, so he does not need to concentrate as much to get a ki lock. Counterargument 2: Superman lost to Doomsday and/or Goku can go SSJ4. (aka use of non-canon and outdated materials) - For Superman, do not reference retconned events and alternate universes from the comic books or use portrayal in other media. For Goku, do not reference the DB/DBZ anime, DBGT, or video games (except possibly DBO because of Toriyama's involvement with that game's plot). Only the original source material are allowed. (Besides which, Superman's strongest non-canon incarnations is leagues beyond Goku's non-canon incarnations, so it's in the best interest of the pro-Goku side to leave them out too anyway.) Counterargument 3: Superman doesn't blitz his opponents. - Just completely false. By ratio, Goku actually has more instances of not blitzing or not going all out. Counterargument 4: Freeza is able to survive in space and Goku defeated him. - Firstly, that's ignoring the fact that Freeza lacks Superman's other advantages, namely his superior physical strength. Secondly, one should keep in mind the actual results of that battle. Freeza did survive because of his ability to live in outer space and Goku would have died were he not lucky enough to find a spaceship. Sure, by the end of Z, he could've IT'd instead, but then the best he can do is pull off a stalemate. Counterargument 5: Goku can use a spirit bomb. - It doesn't harm good people, which Superman is, and it takes even more time to gather than it does to charge a kamehameha. Counterargument 6: Goku can use kryptonite. - AFAIK Superman gathered them all up and sent them into the sun and gave the remaining pieces to Batman. They're a non-factor in this scenario. Besides, we're talking about a guy who gave Cell a senzu bean. Anyone who argues that Goku would use a kryptonite on Superman has no right calling himself a DBZ fan by not knowing that about Goku. Counterargument 7: Goku can use the dragon balls. - Goku does not like using the dragon balls to defeat his opponents. http://oi43.tinypic.com/2888he9.jpg http://oi40.tinypic.com/2598whk.jpg http://oi44.tinypic.com/302rogk.jpg And again, see the earlier senzu bean argument. Counterargument 8: They won't fight each other at all. - No, they won't fight each other to the death. But that's what the hypothetical scenario is about, so why bring that up at all? Counterargument 9: Wizard did the fight and declared Goku the winner. - One shouldn't have to point this out, but that fight is non-canon. More importantly though, that fight used a lot of incorrect information. http://oi42.tinypic.com/2mcds3a.jpg The most obvious inconsistensies are: 1. Goku being able to fight in space. 2. Superman not surviving a punch that would put him in collision with Earth's surface. (He's been punched though the Earth and shrugged it off.) 3. Some unheard of "particle flux" that results from Goku's IT. 4. Goku at his base form being strong enough to land a heavy blow on Supes. So not only was that versus match not canon, it was completely filled with false information. I mean, even the premise is ridiculous. Eighth dragonball? Not only is Goku familiar enough with the dragonballs to know that that information is false, he also knows Kami/Piccolo/Dende and would've simply gone to them and asked them to confirm it before trusting someone who he most likely sensed to have an evil intention. Counterargument 10: Speed is a bigger issue than you think. - Maybe, but it's impossible to quantify. Superman can at least go 4x faster than lightspeed. The only good measure of speed that we get is that SSJ1 Gotenks, who is stronger than SSJ3 Goku, went several times around the world (plus a short nap) in 29 minutes. http://oi43.tinypic.com/s6ipmd.jpg http://oi40.tinypic.com/zrevn.jpg Prove that they're not around same speed. Until then, them being the same speed is the fairest assumption. Counterargument 11: You're a Superman fanboy. - Ad hominem attack that has nothing to do with the argument itself. Besides I'm actually more of DBZ fan than a DC fan.ArcangelParagon

That's the best post I've seen in off topic for a while. Takes a position and leaves no doubt to any unbiased observer that he is right. Even addressing his opponent's arguments individually, and destroying them.

I'm not even sure this debate is subjective anymore.
