Yet there's no system where every single person will be more satisfied by the current system than by alternatives. Reinhard Heydrich would never be happy in a "utopia" because he can't wield power for the sake of sadism. Some would kill for religious freedom and others would kill to forcibly convert the world. You are

I don't think I'm at that point yet but based on what I've seen, maybe there is a type of tether between the alternate versions of you? The trade minister ended up in the house because that's where alternate him lives? Maybe imagining a specific alternatives gets you there too. He wonders about how the park might have

I just checked and the divorce papers were filed in the SF courts, plus there's a SF newspaper shot in the street scene. They mayo thing was a goof because they split in the '20s, although I had no idea about it so I can understand missing that. I'd imagine though that he is moving distance as well if he goes from a

Buffy and Angel. Angel especially. Great energy, great atmosphere, and they both set the tones for their shows. I don't think anyone will ever forget those.

I've been in one city during a terrorist attack. The OKC bombing where 168 people died, including 19 children. I know a guy who has to live the rest of his life breathing through a tube in his neck because the debris crushed his throat. I'm not so sure that he'd appreciate the lightheartedness of your feelings toward

I'm glad to see that you are so concerned about violence when Muslims commit it, but laugh when women and a priest have to be hospitalized. Yeah, no agenda. It's all about peace to you.

See, I don't particularly care about your judgments regarding the CAR. I'll trust the CIA, an agency specifically designed to gather intelligence on foreign nations. The idiots involved were going to random strangers, saying "you're not Christian", and then raping, killing, and cannibalizing them. That is the

Oh yeah, those bad boy Catholics. You know how a group of children, 3 nuns, and a priest can really stir up trouble. They were singing. Being open about their different faith was enough to annoy them. That's how religious extremists work. They hate other faiths and use violence to try and suppress it. Under your

And you don't need convincing, but if I wanted to do it on Muslims, I would have detailed the growing attacks on Coptics in Egypt by Muslim mobs under an apathetic government.

I never said that the Seleka were saints, but to justify genocide by Christian rebels is sickening. They have murdered, raped, and cannibalized their way across the country in the name of faith. I'd rather get my plane blown up than go through what people on both sides have faced from the militias, anti-balaka and

Agreed. Also, was this a joke? Listening to the audio it sounds like the capper to a very serious and earnest speech. She said the same thing about wishing she was a gay at event for an LGBT center. She just seems to view these things as nebulous non-issue tags to write about for grad school, not serious and painful

Having read the book and watched Lynch's Dune recently, I think Lynch did just about as much as he could with the material. The exposition is about as well as you can handle in a movie with time constraint, and it manages to be unique while in line as an adaption with tone, narrative, and theme. It's probably not

The 4 major religions in the world are Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism.

That's a really dumb opinion. Give me any religion and I can find extreme violence and murder perpetrated in their name going on now.

Absolution did some good things but it was too linear for me. The A-B-C checkpoint style limits the options and possibilities. I don't think it's unfair to like it, but it's definitely the black sheep of Hitman. I'm a Blood Money kind of guy.

That's fair. I like playing Hitman on/off but if you don't keep up with the releases then it would be really annoying.

I have to disagree. Hitman's depth and replayability all come from mastering the levels inside and out. It's not really the type of game to just walk through beginning to end because picking up the timings, the little secrets, the contextual backstory, and all the great kill styles come from tackling a level over and

I'm saying that Trump got elected off of people ignoring his awfullness because he was on "the same side" as them. I agree with you. I regularly denounce Lena Dunham.

It got Trump elected.
