Breaking Bad is ludicrously stupid in every way.

You can start a conversation in ways other that making a polarizing point. Try maybe, asking what we all think of Breaking Bad? Or maybe as this philosophy region, something about that?
Hope I don't come across as too hostile.

Hello, Philosophy 115! I am your new ambassador from Konfoederation deutschsprachiger Staaten!

Idea! Blattaria opens its borders and hands out licenses to foreign zombie hunters. Problem solved!

Two days into the game with your nation and you are calling me out on being polarizing? Yah let me take you seriously. Learn about life and tell me about Breaking Bad being realistic. Newb.

LOL he may be a newb, speaks the truth - you're a bully and a jerk, and poorly suited to a region that is supposedly dedicated to philosophy.

Nobody said Breaking Bad was "realistic", just that it was a good show.

If a show has to be "realistic" for you to appreciate it, that seems indicative of a lack of imagination on your part - very fitting with the jerk persona. You don't seem to know how to share an opinion politely, and then you throw a tantrum when somebody with more tact points that out.

Objectivity is based on facts not opinions. I agree that you are a nobody. Anyone else can make a hostile post but me. If I am getting to you then good, just like Heraclitus.

I have seven nations in the bottom 100 Tourist Destinations today! Including this one, at # 12 from the bottom.

T-T, I've never watched Breaking Bad. Would you kindly give me a synopsis of it and explain why you think it is superior to The Walking Dead in every way? IMO, TWD is pretty darn good, especially for a series founded on a comic book. It would take a series that's really superb that doesn't require a leap of faith (e.g. that the recently dead people return to life and eat those who are still living) to be better, like Mad Men.

12th last, actually.

But we're hoping to improve our position next time, which is why we're removing the guardrails from our major attraction: the famous UE Tar Pits.

See the bones of the previous tour group jutting from the tar pits of doom! Only 30 NSD for photos.

Only if they ask for them. ;)

Not if their real philosophers!

Socrates wrote that if you marry a good women you will become happy, but if you marry a bad one you become a Philosopher. Therein lays the warning.

Objectivity is based on facts, not opinions - But you were talking about a fictional show, and gave your opinion on it.
I agree that you are a nobody. - What a friendly thing to say to a stranger. How inviting does this region appear when you say things like that or gloat that you intentionally antagonise people and gain pleasure from it. (If I am getting to you then good)
Anyone else can make a hostile post but me - Strangely, you seem to have reversed the reality of that statement. Whenever I see a hostile post, T-T is either involved or directly responsible.

When I first came to this region (after being invited, to assist bolster dwindling numbers), Techno-Titania was hostile to me too. This is why I never post on this RMB. If there was a block function on RMB's, I would have utilised it ages ago and may actually enjoy being part of this region. Sadly, I rarely even look at the RMB any more because I know I will just find T-T being rude to 'someone', and I dare not join in a conversation because I am not here for drama.

DR George - I really feel you need to protect new members from T-T's inability to function in a social circle. This is surely intended as a place for people to feel able to debate without being belittled or insulted. Philosophy is not about who can thump their chests the hardest.
As for the topic of Breaking Bad vs The Walking Dead, TWD wins for me. But I have never seen an episode of Breaking Bad as it has never intrigued me, so this is just an opinion and not an objectively fact-based conclusion.

If T-T has an opinion on anything I have said, don't bother telling me. I have no interest in anything he types.

The show Breaking Bad is based on the meth industry. That is where it's objectivity is lacking. I didn't say I liked Breaking Bad. My wife likes it. I think it is a horrible show and quite unrealistic, therefore lacking in facts about it. Sorry about the misunderstanding there.

Some people say I'm hostile. Sometimes I am. Many times I'm not but am often misunderstood. Take for example the discussion about AI and space travel recently with New Sade. Neither of us were hostile with each other but our founder misinterpreted what we were posting and believed we were. This can happen often online and without all the other stimuli that goes with a dialogue it is easier to misconstrue what people write online Ina negative manner. This happens often, even when I, or someone else is being sarcastic or not.

Yanktopia has been sarcastic, or deemed that way, to me and others on this RMB so I really don't care what he posts. As far as the others you are free to do what you wish. I don't really care. I know whether I am nice or not and really don't require a few people on an online forum to verify it, I have ample evidence outside it to justify my opinion of my merits as far as being nice or compassionate, or being a jerk. I know I can be the latter but most people who know me consider me one of the former. However, it's my actions and many other conversations outside an online forum that determined their views. Not a few aside comments made in online discussions heated or otherwise.

A newb is not an insult but for a new member to make a first post attacking another member, they deserve what they got. And telling me a philosopher shouldn't be either aggressive or antagonistic betrays a lack of understanding of the history of philosophers. Socrates was like that, Heraclitus, Nitzche. I am not comparing myself to them. I am just giving examples of that type of characteristic often found among philosophers. If you are not comfortable with it, no need to respond or the founder can ban me. It might be apropos but would be indicative of a more close minded approach to philosophy, IMHO.

I found BB to be a bit more believable than TWD. But if one uses enough meth they can become The Walking Dead, so who knows....
