“There's apparently an error in the headline. The word "don't" got inserted inadvertantly.”
Is Life After Death Possible?
Commented Dec 29, 2009 at 14:55:26 in Living
“Choosing to believe in an afterlife is like choosing to believe in Santa Claus. Both are preposterous on their face. And both doggedly persist as artifacts of our culture with increasingly baroque backstories associated (the river Lethe? Concentric rings of hell? Elves in workshops?). And in both instances you're likely to be chastized if caught expressing your growing doubts to the younger generation.”

“Ah, "romantically involved". What a pleasant euphamism, bringing up mental pictures of long walks on the beach and gazing at sunsets together in matching outdoor bathtubs while holding hands.”

“This point out the fact that up until now they COULDN'T use the road! This sounds as bad as the old Jim Crow south where a black citizen travelling in a car was likely to be stopped by the local police for the crime of 'driving while black'.”

“No that's precisely what they need. Films should do more than just provide cheap thrills. I'm reminded of a throw-away line from from that old TV comedy Arrested Development - "We're at war?"”

“I have never been able to watch a war movie about Vietnam after having grown up on John Wayne ww2 movies... reality can have that effect.

“Star Trek I was enjoying greatly unti I noticed the *gaping holes in the plot* big enough to drive a Klingon cruiser through! "Red matter"? They might just as well used Hitchcock's term for it, the MacGuffin. Star Trek was a great film... for people who weren't paying particularly close attention.”
Vicendithas replied on Dec 29, 2009 at 01:51:39
“I enjoyed it, but the alternate universe scenario was a little too easy of a way to go, imo.”

“Leave it to a 'fashion photgrapher' to make an half-naked pretty girl boring. Where else can these photoraphers possibly go in their ongoing quest to be 'edgy'? Go from offensive to downright transgressive?”
hypnotoad72 replied on Dec 28, 2009 at 21:53:19
“Great question; not much is left that qualifies as "edgy", which means people better start using wit - instead of what rhymes with it...”

“I cannot summon any sympathy. The richer the super-rich oligarchs get the poorer the bottom 99.9% get.”

“Aw, c'mon Mike, just think of all those poor people in Indonesia who are going to lose their $5 a week jobs because sales of Eldrick's gear are slumping.”
Mary Matalin: Bush 'Inherited' 9/11 Attacks (VIDEO)
Commented Dec 28, 2009 at 18:12:17 in Politics
“The Right has been *actively ignoring* he fact that 9-11 was Bush's tarbaby for the past 8 years. Its a short step for them to cynically rearrange the timeline to fit their worldwivew. They've done the same for so many other subjects. They've even started calling Hitler hmself a lefty, the delusional fools!”
Akmal Shaikh, British Man, To Be Executed By China Tuesday
Commented Dec 28, 2009 at 18:01:12 in World
“Fly 9 pounds of heroin into China and this is what happens to you. He does seem less mentally impaired than many Texas death row inmates awaiting the same fate. You're either against capital punishment entirely as a concept or you're in favor of this. This is the face of capital punishment.”

“THe US is the only Western nation in the developed world in the company of Saudi Arabia, China, South Korea and Iran to employ capital punishment.”
Obama Nominees Still Being Stalled By Republicans
Commented Dec 28, 2009 at 16:13:48 in Politics
“Republicans are fond of saying "government doesn't work" and take every opportunity they can to make that statement a reality. Anyone who votes Republican thinking the country's problems will get solved is a fool. Anyone who blames the Demorcats for problems caused by continued unremitting Republican obstructionism is a greater fool.”
BabblingBrooks replied on Dec 28, 2009 at 16:23:31
“Government doesn't work very well. Our Founding Fathers deliberately planned a government with so many checks and balances that it couldn't do much harm! Unfortunately, politicians have found ways to remove the checks and balances or otherwise circumvent them so that they are now capable of much damage to the country. Too bad, isn't it?”
Photo Appears To Show John F. Kennedy With Naked Women
Commented Dec 28, 2009 at 12:59:10 in Politics
“The 'experts' claim the photo wasn't Photoshopped? But Kennedy's oddly oversized head looks like a thumb print compared to the rest of the photo. Go figure. Remember 'experts' also claimed Oswalds head had been stuck onto that gun photo... until they concluded otherwise.
On the other hand, his wife Jackie had indeed been notoriously fond of topless sunbathing so its not unprecedented.”

“The ONLY reason why this was a story at all earler in the year was to drum up press for a frickin' disaster movie! When, in the next month, we start to see see a flurry of press reports and 'scholarly articles' addressing the problem of people killed by hampsters that'll signify there's a big-budget killer hapster movie on the horizon”

Tiger Woods: Does Fame And Fortune Limit Your Ability To Love?
Commented Dec 27, 2009 at 02:15:29 in Living
“Tiger Woods 'the celebrity' is a distorted funhouse mirror held up to society. We look at Tiger and *imagine* we see the reflection of a self-made, ultra-successful, sexually indefatiguable billionaire America. That isn't America, that isn't 1/2 of 1% of America. There is nothing in the Tiger Woods story that can teach me anything about my life. The stinking rich may find themselves burdoned by a superfluity of 'stuff'. But the stinking poor carry the exponentially greater burdon of the struggle to put bread in their mouths. If this last year has taught us anything, its that debating the relative merits of accumulating wealth versus enjoying all the good stuff we already have is an entirely bourgeois concern.”

“This story remains as murky as a bowl of mud. I don't know which was the abuser and which the abused. I've heard of more than one acquaintance who'se raving drunk out-of-control girlfriend told the cops that it was the guy who had caused the fracas when the police finally arrived.”
'World's Fastest Train' Unveiled In China
Commented Dec 27, 2009 at 00:02:26 in World
“I'm afraid the U.S. will learn all the *wrong* lessons from capitalist China, and will eventually follow their lead in entirely doing away with the civic safety net. The hard right already wants the poor to just 'go away'. Too many poor in the country? A good cold winter should significantly reduce the number of the poor in the northern states, at least.”
Angelina Jolie: Fidelity Isn't Essential

“I wonder how many poster currently poh-pohing her statement show by their past actions which side of the issue they're really on. " I love my wife... but there was that one time in 1998 during that work trip..." "I love my husband... but I recall that summer I took adult ed night clases in English lit...":”

“Not shallow necesarily - aperson doesn't need to be shallow in order to have 'aggression issues'. I recall her once saying she and BillyBob would engage in actual hand-to-hand combat (knife fights) as foreplay.”

“Apparently, you never met my first girlfriend.
Women *appear* to cheat for 'better reasons' because they tend to over-analyze and rationalize their actions more. Men are willfully clueless. Take away self-help books & pop psychology and both men's and women's action are little more advanced than monkeys in a tree.”

Charlie Sheen Arrested, Spends Christmas In Jail
Commented Dec 25, 2009 at 21:16:31 in Entertainment
“You are making two assumptions:
1) that Sheen actually committed these felonies and 2) that the show won't be cancelled regardless over this. Both assumptions may be wrong.
For all I know, I might be arrested tomorrow morning by the FBI and charged with plotting the overthrow of the Swedish monarchy. This is America - just because I'm arrested and charged with something doesn't mean I'm guilty, and by the same token just because my lawyer gets me off doesn't mean I'm innocent either.”

“Tiger was not arrested or charged; but he was villified by very hateful venom.
My point is that where is the same "flying off the handle venom" directed at Sheen?
It is non-existant. Double standard.”
