Not a single post I make is a researched and thorough documentation of years of thought on the subject matter. I am not always entirely sober when I post, or awake.
However, if you would like to engage in a more comprehensive discussion you need only say so.
Anyway, have a nice day.
Edited for clarity.

I changed the second word. It makes the whole statement more clear.

Yeah, but there are people with whom come to opinions in rational and reasonable ways with whom I disagree with, and there are people who intentionally stake out opinions not on their merits but on their ability to be provocative and\or not like things that are popular for internets cred and starting some drama. Obviously it's a subjective line to draw depending on your own taste for arguing with cretins on the internets, but I've recently decided that I've simply got better things to do then engage the latter; and I don't feel my life is lessened by that tack.
Cheers for calling me a "cretin" btw.

Also, commentating on the fact that you've ignored a user seems like you're trying to be "popular for internets cred and starting some drama". If someone says something you don't like, you can either state your reasons for disagreeing and initiate a conversation, or you can ignore the post and get on with your day. Saying you don't have time to deal with internet neckbeards, before loudly proclaiming the fact that you don't have time to deal with internet neckbeards, seems pretty ironic.
Anyway, have a nice day.
What makes you think I was talking about you? Kronk mentioned why people should ignore trolls instead of engage them, which then segued into why, in general, Dogma doesn't do this. I then responded; in general, why I disagreed with his point of view.

I know of several well respected philosophers that would chuckle in your face, most derisively.
Realistically they'd lack the logical capacity to track me down.
Poor people who can't be arsed/too stupid to get a job go on benefits and get scorned by society.
Middle class people who can't be arsed/too stupid to get a job become philosophers and pretend that this somehow puts them on the same level as scientists/technicians.
Computers ! = people. The fact that you can use logic to explain them both is irrelevant, since you can use logic to describe more or less anything.
Every thread needs a resident "I'm too cool to like this" type.
Congrats.

That movie is so dark, Prometheus will look like a kids' movie by comparison.

Is it just me, or do others find the anthropomorphic personification of inanimate objects a little odd? I mean household appliances with faces(I'm looking at you Henry Hoover) rather than an AI grafted into a vehicle (ala KITT) or an android like Marvin.

Its a bitch doing the bastard banner.
We are arming Syrian rebels who support ISIS, who is fighting Iran, who is fighting Iraq who we also support against ISIS, while fighting Kurds who we support while they are fighting Syrian rebels.
At the start of the second trailer we see the back of a bald male head looking at his arm as black veins/tendrils appear beneath his skin. This looked like David to me, what that could mean is unknown to me though. Perhaps whatever is in the vials can alter/improve synthetic life.
Spoiler:
There are definitely three creatures. The Bearded guy with the head tattoos transforms/goes mad as it is him you see jumping down at the other crew in the trailer.
The space jockey type giant thing that we see wandering around the command chair that we know from Alien is massive.
There is also a third creature that looks more man-sized and is chasing the female lead through the ship. I suspect that is David.
As for the Happy Birthday trailer I'm getting a very Blade Runner vibe from it and i'm loving it.
I showed my wife the two virals first, then the trailer. She said she couldn't reconcile the two. Then I pointed out Fassbender and she stood her ground and said it seemed like different movies...she also has not seen alien, aliens, or predator.
