If "everything that is possible is fair," how can one oppose the power of governments, if one accepts that they are created by people and not handed down from on high?

Madonna going to Israel to pretend to do Kaballah is offensive. Thom Yorke going to play is not.

Don't you know? The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the only conflict that matters.

This lady was always bad news. She uses people, she's inconsiderate and unreliable. I put up with it for way too long.

Thom Yorke isn't playing for a segregated audience.

Commie nominee right here.

Fun fact: Israel not being a theocracy, kashrut is not legally binding. However, the raising of pigs on Israeli soil, and unauthorized import of meat, are illegal, and Tel Aviv's hottest restaurants now have huge pork-smuggling operations in Greece.

Cultural boycotts are idiotic. Collective punishment against the people of a democratic society for the perceived actions of their government, especially a piecemeal coalition government opposed by the entire entertainment industry*, is idiotic. We watched Soviet movies in the '70s and nobody gave a shit.

Just ask noted political theorist Susan Sarandon!

A friend of several years has decided that I am an autistic MRA and sent me threatening messages all night because we disagreed over Kathy Griffin. People suck.

I've said it before, I'll say it again: those two aren't orthodox. If Ivanka Trump wore a tichel, Donald would never have been elected president.

I find this rash of anti-hometown-ism obnoxious and condescending.

This attitude is why most Americans did not want to end the Rwandan genocide.

Dude, get real. You made a preposterous generalization and got called out on it. The historicity of genesis is not a mainstream theory.

A lot of people– idiots and critics– like to conveniently ignore the "showing where it inevitably ends" part in order to vent their own insecurities about their place as gatekeepers of the public good. Same with Belfort not being punished at the end of The Wolf of Wall Street; that's not depicting an injustice, it's

Plastic molds? Custom-built metal parts? Recycled from other movies?

This is not a joke. Scorsese gets more flak from critics for being "amoral" and debauched than anyone else, just because he trusts his audience to understand what he's saying, and occasionally douchebags don't.

The Greeks, Jews, Thracians, Persians, and Armenians might take issue there. Not to mention the Vandals. Oh, Vandals…

How are we feeling about India? I hear they're the next big thing (suck it, Brazil).

A religion. Last time I checked, the Rabbis have not been demanding people to disbelieve in science. Nor the Pope or the Dalai Lama, for that matter. Only American fundamentalist Christianity (and I guess Scientology) preach that one's relationship with God is transactional, and that if God doesn't answer your
