It comes from freestyling, when a rapper had to find the beat and keep the crowd going while doing the requisite - really impressive! - mental gymnastics necessary to get started.

I'm wondering if anyone complaining about the lyrics read the song's title.

Got a link to the recipe you used?

"...but you can love something and acknowledge its warts at the same time."

That literally looks like the most delicious desert I've ever seen.

On the whole I agree that's over the top in its presentation, but I can't imagine that pop-culture critique is really the same thing as the KKK having a racist blog. (Which they probably do have a whole ton of.) While I'm not a fan of Requires Hate's tone, I think dismissing what they do as "just to make people angry"…

As a minority reader, Tolkien leaving POCs out didn't bother me quite so much as getting to Return of the King and meeting Tolkien's POCs.

Whoops.

Yes - and, again, this makes sense because there is a wrong and a revenge. The Swiss did not oppress African Americans. Americans did.

Here's the problem with this: the Swiss never did anything to African Americans, really. The reasons Django and Basterds work is because they...well, the premise makes sense.

It's more like this, I think. Special effects are special effects so we're suspending disbelief, but in an image like this one from Gone with the Wind, our brains simply aren't processing that it's not possible on its own because we're swept up in the drama of what the image is conveying.

Looper at least goes out of its way to say, "Don't think about it. We try to avoid problems. Things get more complex than we can understand when there are problems. That's why we try to minimize them." Handwaving of the best kind.

We know Ozymandias couldn't kill Dr. Manhattan. It's just that at the end he tries.

Hear hear.

Again, I think you're missing LeResteCesteDuVice's point - while the government does not, generally, confiscate these things, the government totally can if it sees justification. The gun lobby is under the paranoid suspicion that the government will, for some reason, use registration as an opportunity to find reasons…

I think, if Creationism is taught, we should get all the other creation stories into the textbooks, too. Your Big Bang is bullshit - the Earth is on a turtle.

I mean the government needs far less justification to take your car away. I think LeResteCestDuVice's point was that Americans won't go for it, not that it's not a sane thing that we already have to do for other things, like pets and children.

Well...they CAN be.

"Hey, do you remember the nonsense that erupted earlier this when latent racists were furious to find out that the beloved Hunger Games character Rue, the little tribute from District 11, was revealed in the movie to not be porcelain white?"
