Nope, Anne Hathaway is definitely terrible.

It seems like the same idea, to me. Lots of non-religious people use those names which are usually associated with Christ. Mohammed is another example.

Jesús and Christian are both really popular names, yes.

I posted on another comment, but yeah, I was wrong. Oops. I tried to figure out where I came up with Tisch and a lot of the production/film crew on "Tiny Furniture" were Tisch graduates Dunham met at a festival, so I guess I read that and just conflated her with them!

I quoted the relevant part of her post which confirms my "representation" of her argument. You need to work on your reading comprehension and your ability to pick up on subtext, both of which are seriously lacking.

That majestic "SWINTON" just cries out for the marquee tag.

I guess I'm just making shit up! Thanks for the correction. I swore reading Tisch was somehow involved in the production of Tiny Furniture back when it came out, and apparently constructed my own narrative. :)

I prefer the more formal appellation, "home slice." TIA.

If you'd like to disagree, please pinpoint the parts of her statement which in any way contradict my arguments (and maybe revisit the Wiki page on "strawman argument", since my critique is anything but). All I'm seeing here in your reply is a simplistic refutation of my claims with no supporting evidence other than an…

I think this is a really astute comparison. Allen has more longevity (for now) but he's a glorified one-trick pony.

Dude, Dunham graduated from Tisch. She was by no means an inexperienced amateur.

Swinton also has heaps and heaps of personality—something Hathaway distinctly lacks.

Happy to. S/he mischaracterizes the criticisms of commenters to comolaflor's OP under one sweeping generalization ("People are VERY defensive about their imaginary friends"). S/he then implies that comolaflor's argument is sound ("instead of listening to your point"), and states that said criticisms are only…

Did you even reread this comment after writing it? Because it's chock full o' fallacies.

Hate is easily spread—and innocents killed—by many means other than religion.

Yeah, it was extremely divisive and you can't really sum up the debate easily, which is why I replied to you initially. All of the ballot endorsement information is available online, for reference.

Many groups representing/advocating for low-income populations were against fluoridation.

Portlanders are very proprietary about Bull Run. Lots of people voted against it because of environmental concern, and concern about messing with the taste. Disagree all you want, I'm just saying—it wasn't exclusively the anti-vaxx crowd that voted against it and to presume so it just silly. So no, I don't think…

Yeah, I just don't know what you're talking about. In Portland, sure, and definitely in Eugene and Ashland. But Eastern Oregon? Other cities in Southern Oregon (Grants Pass, Medford, etc.)? Central Oregon? The coast? There are lots of different regions in the state—it's a lot more than those three easily mocked cities.

Fair enough, it's just a really huge generalization, since those parts of the state you mention are really pretty distinct. Oregon is a great state, but you have to seek out the crazies (usually by heading south, or going to very rural and small towns; on the other hand, hicks abound)!
