The Battle Bar, Our Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy

not from what I'm seeing this season. Based on past work? Maybe. I still haven't decided, but Lebron has been better this year so far.

What I've seen is them winning more games when Wade is the leading scorer than when Lebron is. Lebron might be a better distributor but Wade is definitely a better offensive player as well as a defensive nightmare.

They have won 19 of 20 Beef, it doesn't really matter WHO their leading scorer is. If we really want to worry about numbers I can make an argument for Lebron that way, but just as a basketball player myself you can tell Lebron is the better player in every single game. He draws more double-teams than wade, teams are keying on him defensively, he is a better defender than wade...
Do you prefer numbers?
Lebron:
24.8pts 6.8reb 7.3ast 1.4ste .481fgpc. .358 3fgpc

Wade:
25.0pts 4.2ast 6.5reb 1.5ste .495 fg .313 3fgpc

I don't prefer numbers, even when they prove my point. The heat do well when teams double Lebron, and he gets Wade the ball to work one on one. Without Lebron, that never happens.

I'm a fan of both, but I do think Lebron is having a better season, so far.

You realize the impact Lebron being gone has had on the Cav's?

You realize they've had one of the easiest schedules in the NBA right? They're also under .500 against teams over .500..

I hate stupid professors. This quarter I just had to get a technophobe that demands we hand write our papers.

you can't seriously say they are the same team now that they were then, are you?

LA's schedule has been easier and they have been like 2-7 against teams with a winning record.

The Lakers don't start playing until the playoffs and since they are the defending champs, they have credibility. Miami lost to Dallas not 3 weeks ago and haven't played a good team since.

19/20 though. The only loss was to Dallas. By 2 or 3.

I'm not worried about Miami's credibility though, I was talking about Lebron being better than Wade.

Why the f*ck is King Kandy so dense?

Because he smokes pot.

People who smoke pot tend to completely ignore anything that can be considered "wrong" with pot.

I really wish I could argue that statement. But I've known too many potheads...

There's nothing "wrong" with pot!

Thoughts? I can't decide if this is very lame or very cool.

It's amazing how often those traits coincide.

http://blip.tv/file/4542682 - (Follow-up discussing concepts and implications raised. You should probably watch this >:] )

A really interesting review. I've never seen Babylon 5, but this makes me very excited to eventually give it a chance. The questions raised are deep and insightful. I recommend that even if you don't want to watch the first video and have no interest in Babylon 5 whatsoever then you still watch the second, which has insightful analysis' of the death penalty, prison rape, the justice system etc.

Anyone got any opinions on the questions raised? I myself would happily replace the death penalty with the death of personality. It effectively negates harmful and dangerous elements of society and replaces them with a productive substitute. Though of course I agree with SFDebris that there is an incredible chance of misuse of the technology, imo the techs gonna exist anyway eventually. We might as well put it to good use.

I'd almost never vote for a Republican, but if I had to, I'd vote for Mitch Daniels.

Get your utility function in order, son!

Care to explain my moral repugnance to me?

Moral repugnance or utter stupidity?
