I think they could have used some better opposition there. Putting those two up against RD and AC was almost cruel. Barrel full of fish and a shotgun is the immediate mental picture I get. :hehe:
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

No they don't - or any better arguments.

We've won all the arguments. The battle is in getting people to realise it. :coffee:

Getting thread in egosearch so I shall catch it when someone links to the YouTube - since I missed the thing earlier today. :tea:
Then they for sudden joy did weep,
And I for sorrow sung,
That such a king should play bo-peep,
And go the fools among.
Prithee, nuncle, keep a schoolmaster that can teach
thy fool to lie: I would fain learn to lie.

The numbers speak volumes. That's two for two that I've seen where the good guys win. It's like a reverse "Western". :lol:

Merged with existing thread on intelligence squared. (We have another one on the prior debate but it's way too early for that shit.)
