I the early 60s I actually GOT the German measles FROM the vaccination. Twice.

Both Hillary and Obama claimed that vaccinations needed to be investigated because it "causes autism." So, don't paint the GOP as the anti-vaxer party.

I don't have a problem reposting things seen on reddit, either. That way I don't have to even learn how reddit works. I went there once and realized I just don't want to put the time into deciphering what it is all about. LOL

Except that you are confusing the archaic "S" with an "F", so...

Fuck off, moron.

The singing, yes. And the dancing with the hands darting this way and that. Bollywood film tradition just can't translate to western sensibilities. It's so formulaic and quixotic.

I find it amusing that you assume that "enhanced" humans would be better humans. Human history shows that power is used to oppress more often than not so it is more likely that enhanced humans would use their power to hurt the non-enhanced or the less enhanced than to make anything better for them. More likely the…

I don't see "confusing people" as any sort of worry at all. The old series was short lived and only like 10 people remember it these days, so it isn't a consideration.

I am about sick and tired of the dang flashbacks in this show, I have to say.

Kind of curious why this story is on i09, though.

Brilliant reply! You win the thread.

Well, since there are far more than 500 different animals from our own time, why would we assume that there aren't thousands upon thousands of different species of dinos left to discover? In fact, as our science improves, the number should increase since we'll have the tech to more easily tell one set of remains from…

Somehow, "Luddism" seems odd to me. I would have expect "Ludditeism." But maybe "ite" and "ism" is redundant?

I think your bubbles intersect too much, there.

Why is everyone automatically assuming this is good for the fish. And "freed"? What are the being "freed" from??

I kind of wish they were able (or wanted to) use the original movie theme song.

Since "social science" IS fake science, it must have been easy to do!

Lordy I loved Rockford. Saw it on its orig broadcast and lots of reruns. But TV is funny. Many sitcoms were good in the late 50s/early 60s, for instance, when they were simple and still a fairly new genera. Then they got "relevant" in the late 60s and 70s and basically sucked for a at least a decade. Then they got…

First of all I am a pro-vaxer. But this article is dishonest in that it blames everything on anti-vaxers whereas much of the blame shuld be on the open borders crowd. The fact is, this disease was thought eliminated (by the CDC, no less) in the year 2000 but starting in like 2008 began to surge in the US. The reason?…

This article starts off with a generation-centric fallacy: "We are living in an age where everyone wants to be The Goonies. Why? Because Goonies is the best goddamn movie ever made."
