Proposal to Shut it
•
by Ryan Dagari
Yet another Ajay article.
I would really enjoy it if everyone stopped writing articles about Ajay Bruno. Yes he is an easy target, but he's so easy to make fun of it's getting old. Plus i'd rather you put your writing efforts towards other current events or foreign affairs rather than Mr. Bruno.
I think if we just pretend he doesn't exist and ignore his articles we should be able to shut his voice out and maybe get him to leave. He feeds off our attention so it is imperative that we stop giving him it. He's like a T-rex, if you don't move he won't see you.
So I do ask that you stop writing articles about him, stop replying to his comments, and stop accepting that he even exists. If we're lucky he will just leave because he won't have a reason to stay here anymore.
Dr. Dagari is out!

First of all, you are not a Doctor.
Second of all, enjoy all your vote.
dude, this article was about ajay, so doesn't that make you a hippicrit?
It was more about not talking about Ajay than Ajay himself.
To those of you who might wonder about me saying doctor, I really do have a pHD, something some people may never have because they dropped out of college to run a radio show. Yes Dagari is not my real name, but many years of college and writing a friggen book to get a doctorate should meen I can say Dr. in a game XD
Out of curiosity, which field was your degree in?
I say English Lit!
Ryan, I agree. After Ajay left eUSA, it was important to stay up to date on current affairs for a while, to help our friends in eSA against him, but after the Congressional elections and failed PTO effort by Ajay&Exilious, I really wished people would just stop paying attention to both of them.
My response.

i saw a paper come out in Science a few years back that said the t rex optical cortex was more than likely not movement based. I forget the actual reason but they were doing scans of the interior and said it matched more to turtles or something.
The reason the optical cortex of most predators is not visually based is because one shared characteristic of preyed animals is the fact they freeze when they first perceive danger. If a predator's vision was keyed to movement, that predator would have a difficult time in responding to prey that acted in such a manner. It would stand to reason that such a large and probably powerful predator as a tyrannosaurus would not be so easily taken by the other animals it hunted.
Oh, and voted.
@ Epic Thoughts - Not to overly contradict, just play devil's advocate here. But...
What is the reason why prey freezes? Maybe it's an inborn instinct against those predators with vision keyed to movement.
Second, there is a theory that the T-Rex was a scavenger not a hunter. Therefore it would just need to sense movement of the animals eating the carcus and fighting for said carcus. From what I've read/heard they had a pretty powerful nose.
I'd say T-rex was kinda stupid beast, with no vision and scaveging. He belongs to museums, next to dead animals, statues and former presidents, let's ignore him.
Ritter, all vision keys to movement. Try it out yourself sometime. Which one do you see first; the bird that's flying in the tree, or the bird that's sitting there? That's the point of vision, to see what's moving. Thus, we have the freezing reaction of prey animals when they perceive a possible threat. I suppose when I say that the optical cortex isn't visually based, I should have said visually dependent. My error.
I am aware of the theory of The Rex being a scavenger, but I'm afraid I don't have a lot in the way of an argument against it. I have trouble understanding why that if the tyrannosaurus was a scavenger it evolved such a massive frame. Most scavengers in today's ecology (raccoons, opossums, ect.) tend to be small. Granted, there's a great deal of physiological differences between now and sixty five million years ago, as well as the fact that those animals I mentioned are mammals.
Lovely discussion. Terrific job of going terribly off topic.
@Astra
I got it in PolySci.
Ryan, what is your view on how elected representatives should act; fo you see them more as trustees or should they be responding to opinion polls back in their districts?
