Tradition is a societal weakness that inflicts every culture on the planet. It manifests in many ways, sometimes good but most often bad. Just because your ancestors did something, or did it this way, or wore a particular form of clothing or worshipped in a certain way does NOT mean it is worth continuing. Tradition…

That point is actually pretty pointless (giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming you meant 54%, since we have not even had 54 presidents yet), because there are going to be literally tens (if not hundreds or more) of thousands people alive descended from one monarch or another. With the sheer weight of…

I would say MOST of them, but not all. Some really are trying to improve the country (and world) but are running against a brick wall of conservative pro-corporate antiScience capitalistic religious idiocy.

Today you are my hero!

My favorite bit of this video is actually the end part, with the crew and showrunners getting their dance on as well.

Michael K. Williams for Black Panther please please please!

Every time I see an image of Namor I cannot help but think of the outcry the fake feminists of the world (and Jezebel in particular) would have if a female character was dressed the same way.

Considering (in the book) that Cersei guided Jaime into her, it is CLEARLY not rape.

The only way possible for the scene in the book to be considered rape is if you REDIFINE rape to simply pulling someone's clothes off before SHE guides the man into her. Sorry, but the moment a woman grabs the male member and guides it into her it ceases to be rape of the woman. And ripping someone's clothes off,…

Don't forget that Kathleen Kennedy, who has been with LucasFilm for along time, is now the President of LF, and answers only to Iger.

Pfft. In the immortal words of Seth Rogen, "Han Solo is a bitch"

Personally, I hope they do not use John Williams music throughout the sideline movies; for episodes 7-9 yes, but not the others. Would love to hear what Bear McCreary could do with he soundtrack for a Star Wars sideline movie...

Just a nitpick, but the title is "THE Cabin in the Woods" (caps are mine of course)

I remember the first time I heard the term meta used that way; "metagaming" was used by our LARP group to refer to players using Player Knowledge to their character's benefit. Specifically something like knowing that the player of Argilac the Ventrue Prince could not resist any pretty woman flirting with him (in or…

yes, watching people try to talk sense into you is pretty amusing

You are the most ignorant poster I have ever seen on this site. The notion that Obama is the "most radical" president is utterly ridiculous. Seriously, I hope that you contract some nasty cancer from the pollution you are so keen to see continue being pumped into our environment, and that the illness is a very long…

ack! it will not let me edit my previous comment/response. That should be 76 years, not 77 years

Deanna Troi is listed as being born on 29 March 2336.

The problem with many of those studies on the effects of neonicitinoids is that the bees are being exposed to them in ways that just cannot happen in the wild. This article makes it quite clear: http://www.forbes.com/sites/jonentin…

The banning is being resisted because the research has not been as conclusive as some (including Annalee) seem to think it is. Very good article on this here: http://www.forbes.com/sites/jonentin…
