You should do that.

Nah, son.

Right now all the people who were dancing on Thatcher's grave could be speaking up…

I don't agree with the WBC's version of Christianity at all, but there's a certain consistency to their message that I can begrudgingly respect. They know what they stand for and why. But I can't believe that anyone with any degree of legitimate faith or the capacity for thought could think it's a good idea to make a…

@avclub-ef062084a1c4a3584af1d4f8e514ea50:disqus Maybe I'm just underwhelmed by the difference between NBC's coverage and all the other networks. I was jumping around between stations because frankly all of them were repeating the same shit over and over again. There was way less news than airtime and it made all of…

Ironically, attitudes towards southerners in this place are about as nuanced and tolerant as Fox News is towards Muslims…possibly less so. Saying "y'all" in these comments is like wearing a turban into a gated community.

I must be going to the wrong church, we hardly ever have sermons about how to monetize our faith by cherry-picking parts of the Bible we like and converting them into terrible television shows and novelizations. Either that or this guy is full of shit.

Seriously? I am kind of hoping that this is the last straw and God smites these idiots. I'm getting really tired of these morons being the self-appointed spokespeople for my faith.

God has nothing to do with this horseshit.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say these young men were also not-so-nice.

@avclub-022199896b1f52952c180b60caa681bd:disqus Our public broadcasters just preempt programming to beg you for donations until people break down and provide funding. It's proven to be quite effective and the debate over public broadcasting in America is really just symbolic now.

@avclub-21a8615938a206d4311a58a53ad8890e:disqus Out of curiosity, let's say there was a hypothetical attack of consience and the management of the paper and the rank-and-file all collectively said "fuck this, let's do things the right way". Do you think there's any chance that the paper wouldn't succumb to competition…

Factually, you get the same basic information watching Fox News as you do watching MSNBC (though perhaps Daily Show is more analagous). The added value that would draw someone to one source or another is having their worldview confirmed or their frustration with opposing viewpoints validated. The people who like…

I don't think that the quality of the media is determined by the cynicism of the audience. I think cynicism grows out of decades of people being outraged and angry and nothing fucking changing. If the people who decide to wage wars decide they want to wage wars, they will wage wars…the massive public outrage…

@avclub-022199896b1f52952c180b60caa681bd:disqus Public broadcasting has been effectively defunded for a long time now. It draws something like 94% of its funding from sources other than the government. Getting worked up about the issue on either side is pretty silly.

I saw the threads here when she died, and I'm pretty sure most of the folks who are hand wringing over the sancticity of the bombers lives today had a momentary lapse of compassion that day.

I wouldn't say I celebrated his death, but I don't live too far from Boston and have friends and family who are a lot closer…so I'll just say I'm glad he's out of play and don't really feel bad about how that had to happen. I have sympathy for his family and anyone else affected. I think there's a distinction between…

I was flipping between MSNBC and Fox on Friday night, and the facts were exactly the same, the difference in tone and the conclusions they drew based on the facts. It's not like one channel is saying we're at war with Oceania and the other is saying we're at war with Eurasia…I don't wholeheartedly subscribe to the…
