Hatred continues to erode the rights of people in America
Originally posted by Angelique I don't agree. Marriage has traditionally been defined by its ideals rather than the exceptions. One unrelated heterosexual, freely and fully consenting couple together for life in a relationship of love, mutual submission, and exclusive fidelity. (Note that membershi...

Hatred continues to erode the rights of people in America
Traditional marriage is between one man and as many little girls as he can afford. That's what's in the Bible anyway. The modern concept of marriage in the western world has been moving in the direction of equality and partnership for centuries. And it's been "redefined" even in the last f...

The only thing I dont get about anime action movies
Well, I meant that yelling the name of the attack is part of making it iconic. The readers/viewers associate the attack with the name. Also, anime can be pretty complex/convoluted. The attacks/powers can be trickier to understand, and having the characters name their actions is an easy way to give a...

The only thing I dont get about anime action movies
Giving each attack/power a special name makes it feel more iconic and imitatable for kids. (Sort of like shouting out the spells in Harry Potter) But mostly, it makes it easier to translate everything into a trading card game and/or video game. Storywise it could be explained for the magic-themed sh...

Ike: 'certain death'
When I was growing up I always heard the phrase "certain death" as meaning "particular death" rather than "definite death." So it was like "Behind that door likes a certain kind of death! Try to guess what kind! I think you'll be pleasantly surprised." But any...

G.I. Joe The movie!
I had only heard about it because some people were raising a stink about the film-makers turning G.I.Joe into an international task force rather than an American one.

I'm glad he's being punished because really, false claims like that make it harder for people who've really been raped by wombats to be believed.

I have to give a shout out to FDR (though Teddy was actually more progressive) for inheriting the Great Depression and then having WWII land in his lap as well. He kept a lot of Americans alive and saved capitalism from itself. And since you listed two in your first post I'm also going to say Thomas...

Thanksgiving is upon us, it's time we started discussing Christmas greetings again.
On one hand, that is really really stupid.
On the other, I've always found "ho ho ho" as really unnatural for signifying laughter. It seems more pirate-like than jolly.

Yeah but the Harry Potter books might turn them retrospectively gay.Nice, safe books. The worst kids can ever get from them are paper cuts.

Things are working out exactly as they're supposed to. 1) Company makes a product cheap/addictive in order to increase profit. 2) Many consumers die horribly as a result. 3) People find out and stop buying from that Company. 4) Company goes out of business.

Woot! San Diego is considered a very conservative (for California) city. So this is pretty big.

Heh. Wow. I can kind of see why she wouldn't include that in the books. There's still a lot of bias against gay men and it would have colored the way that readers read the exchanges between Albus and Harry. And she couldn't really reveal it in the final book either because much of the book was learn...
