They should've given an equal damn about London, Madrid and every other terrorist attack.

Islamic terrorism (as an example) is aimed at ending United States hegemony in the Middle-East in order to recreate the Caliphate.  I really don't see how introducing body scanners puts them closer to achieving this goal.

Terrorism has been a part of doing business in the UK since the 1920s.  We had a brief reprieve after the cessation of official IRA activity in the 1990s, before we were struck again in 2005 by Islamic extremists.  Aside from us, there are the Basque separatists in Spain and France, and the communist insurgents in…

The point is that there's no qualitative difference between the bombing in Syria and the bombing in Boston.  So if you have never lived in or even visited Boston, and have no friends or family there, why should it affect you more on a personal level than the bombing in equally obscure Damascus?  If you live in, say,…

It's pretty clear that the reason why The Simpsons is still going isn't because Matt Groening is a hostage to his network overlords, but because he enjoys having enough money to buy up all the oxygen and hold the Earth to ransom.

Yup.  For in our outlandishly dystopian society, you either live in opulence or are reduced to shilling your baby on network television.  No middle ground.

It's only natural that the radical left should celebrate Thatcher's death, since she celebrated their existence every day she remained in office.

The present-day stuff was just the worst.

Well, there was that infamous poem (subject of a blasphemy case) which implied Jesus having sex with John the Baptist, Paul of Tarsus, "foxy" Judas, the rest of the Apostles, his guards and Pontius Pilate, before receiving a posthumous blow-job from his own executioner.

Especially if it's Assassin's Creed.

It's realistic to the extent that there is a city called Lima in Ohio, and it probably has public schools, too.

Is this some socialist false-flag operation to get others to hate private school people? Because we've managed to do that just fine on our own, thank you.

At first I was like, "Man, David Bowie hasn't aged a day!", and then I was like, "Jesus Christ on a gyroscope".

Nakama used to be on TV Tropes; I'd hardly call that a ubiquitous phrase in pop culture.

Dreamcatcher would like a word with you.

I know this is how every neologism eventually gets into popular circulation, but they need to stop shilling it.  If it doesn't take hold organically, it never will.

This guy doesn't care whose toes he steps on!

And thus took up his true calling as a thermometer.
