I've seen up to episode 4 so far, though trying to fit it in between marking, funding applications and classwork is proving all but impossible. So far I'm not a big fan of the look of the new Klingons, the lack of incidental episodes (which could change), or Michael herself... But I am...

One look at the relative ticket price VS hardware cost in the phones should tell you a lot about just how giving Jobs is. Those phones could be sold for *significantly* less than they are and still pull a massive bloody profit, but they don't have to - so why should they? The consumers won't...

Something like this always has to be considered in light of the data that was gathered – specifically, how was it gathered, and in what cultural climate was it gathered? Given when I’m seeing on the 2015 questionnaire, I would expect that sexual assault against men would be grossly under...

There is a powerful comment about mental health in this video. That being said, one of you guys should get involved with this girl once she's of legal age. Based on what I just saw, she might even be able to put up with a War Roomer's BS...

Not cool guys... Not cool: "For the most part, “men” don’t really like to like to include themselves in the “vapidity” of female conversation, least of all when it addresses something icky like periods or rape. But now that they’re all under an extreme line of fire after Alyssa Milano’s friend...

Nah. Just have Black History Month be a month off. Even the White Supremacists will be cheering black people then. The rich can pay for it. You can thank me for solving the race relations problem later.

About 2/3 of my post reek of that. That's how my preferred mode of communication. I notice you and Homer aren't rushing to answer the question though? Some have and done a pretty solid job of it, but not you two... Oh, I wonder why, I wonder why... Yep, you're pointing out some of the good...

Sure. That's a fair answer, if an odd one. Is this something people around the world generally celebrate? Because there are a whole slew of place could have days celebrating the primitive ancestors who were the first to colonize an "entirely new continent that had never been inhabited by a...

Oh? So, will either you or @helltoupee then explain precisely what an Indigenous Peoples' Day would be celebrating? Seriously - what is it? Their accomplishments? Their history of slavery, human sacrifice, and a pretty shit record from a humanitarian standpoint? Their survival of a...

That's a totally fair and accurate representation of what I said and in no way caricatured straw man meant to push your own agenda. Well done, sir!

So what, specifically, would be celebrate on Indigenous Peoples' Day? A particular accomplishment? A set of accomplishments? Technological achievement? Fine cuisine? Impact on the world stage? Their history of slavery and human sacrifice? Their peaceful history of cooperation between the...

Ha ha ha ha.... While I don't pretend I can get into a full response to this rather cheekily historical post, I quite enjoy the spectre of my beloved Prince rising again to taunt me. I'll see if I can whip up something that does it justice over the next few days. Well played Falsedawn, well...

Here I though this thread was about people in the fitness forums...

I'm just looking fun at the cult of Reagan ;). Honestly, I agree with you. Clinton is my favorite president in my lifetime. I do think people don't tend to pay enough attention to his role in opening the floodgates with China and in laying the early groundwork for the housing bubble, but, at...

He just did. *zing*

Obama rode Reagan's coat tails, his policies still holding America together in the face of Obama trying to burn it down. Yes, they were that damned good!

To be fair, a response to this might be "Well, the Clintons are fascists too. So is Bush." The big only problem with this type of schema is something I pointed at earlier - that there is a risk of setting the bar for fascism so low that everyone becomes a fascist under consistent analysis, and...

Interesting. Would you consider America to be bordering on a fascist state for some time now, if it hasn't crossed that border already, and the calls of "Trump is a fascist" are really just recognizing the reality too late? And if that is the case, would fascism have a potentially quite benign...

Indeed. It is amazing when one looks back and sees so many of the same motions enacted by, and so many similar results achieved by, two political philosophies which are looked at as all but diametric opposites. It says a lot to the idea that the conditions of political power are fairly...

This just in: much of what you thought was actually Communism is, in fact, Fascism.
