This is what happens when your enemy hides among civilians, using them as human shields and their deaths as propaganda. I can assure you the military had no intention of using a very expensive Hellfire missile to kill a child.

I learned quite a bit. Thank you for the excellent article.

Wormholes, its always frelling wormholes.

Men consume this type of imagery, and therefore it will continue to be produced. We shouldn't be trying to sell sugary drinks to children with colorful imagery either, but it is what it is.

Meh... I went there and looked at it. Not really a game at all, and propaganda is probably the wrong term. Its just a bunch of stats, safety tips, etc. It could all be lies, but it seems too mundane for that.

The Oatmeal writes a couple comics and suddenly all of Edison's work and breakthroughs are nullified. Did he invent every damn thing? No. Was he a business man who funded, bought, and sold other people's ideas? Yes. Was he an asshat? Probably. None of that diminishes his mark on history.

And this story isn't crap? Seems like a useless fluff piece to me... basically Reddit's MO.

I should have been more specific. Many of their leaders have made their antisemitism known and are, I believe, motivated by a twisted view of the world. That is not a comment on the consensus among all people classified as Palestinian, which may be very different. It is a comment about the views of the people in…

Did I ever mention Muslims or religious beliefs?

Both sides are committing atrocities, and it is very human of us to want to root for the underdog. As the undisputed champion so far in the conflict Israel is very easy to root against, but please just consider the alternative.

Frelling awesome.

Next target would imply they ever switch targets.

This plan is just dolled up for public presentation. Any reasonable scientific body would base a plan off the size of the object and the time they had to deal with it. If we are talking a world killer, odds are we will have detected it fairly early. Given we had the time, I'm sure they would consider diversion. If…

Your empathy towards insects, although not unique, probably puts you in the minority. And that is the heart of the discussion really. Our feelings towards other animals varies so drastically from person to person. Intelligence certainly isn't the only factor to consider, and even if it was, we would never reach…

They got a three hour movie to wrap up the plot. Something a lot of cancelled shows never get. To this day there are whispers of creating a web series to continue the story, as the comics have done.

Lets strip the discussion down to its very basics. Why do we care about other animals at all? Why do we feel great distress when we see, or perceive pain in other species? It doesn't make a whole lot of sense does it? These answers could help us draw the line, but each answer is different for each person.

Did you want them to editorialize some crap on their feelings about transcend products?

Does not appear to be a patent yet. I know the US patent office has been playing it fast and loose lately, but I can't see how this will pass the requirement of novelty unless it is granted for a very specific medium. Things like this already exist for sale display TVs, touchscreens, etc. Hell I think I've even see…

Had mine removed years ago. Where have you guys been?

Like the last one... it seems too blue for a 51/48 country. I'm sure the data is fine, but to my eyes, the colors add up to make it seem like the US is vastly more blue than red. As I mentioned before though, it could just be the way I perceive blue and red. Another viewer may think the whole thing looks a bit too…
