Those lambs are so cute and delicious. I hope they’re dumb. I have a hard time eating smart animals (like pigs or octopus).

It seems like the biggest issue is the IDENTIFICATION of people based on their associations, not the METHOD that is used to kill them once the person has been targeted. We’ve been killing people in wars for thousands of years — there is always collaterial damage and innocents being killed. This is not a new phenomenon…

I may get hate for saying this, but I don’t see why people feel the need to pass along their own genetic material, other than ego. The need to be a parent and have a family, I understand. I even understand not wanting the headache of adoption (proving you are a fit parent to authorities, having home inspections,…

Why can’t some other organization (for example, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences) come up with their own system? Maybe some theaters/parents/advertisers/etc. would go along with a new system? I think the ratings for tv differ from the movies, so it’s not like there can only be ONE ratings system.

From what I’ve read, the land is owned by a Hawaii state agency that is dedicated to Native Hawaiian issues. So the Hawaiians will receive money from the telescope.

The difference is, Tom Cruise only ever plays Tom Cruise. I understand what GS is saying - I can’t stand to watch Tom Cruise anymore, and that’s all I ever see when he’s in a movie. Other actors may be jerks in real life, but if they’re not playing themselves, I can forget about that for 2 hours.

People, right now, try to modify future generations through selective breeding (only breed with someone tall, of a certain race, intelligent, thin, athletic, artistic, whatever, etc.). And that's not illegal. This is just more effective.

I admit I knew the answer because it's similar to a puzzle in one of my Nintendo DS "Professor Layton" games. There have been others puzzles here that are similar to ones that are in the PL games. It's a good game for people who like puzzles.

This trailer only makes me want to watch the original again — NOT the remake.

I think the pacific golden plover tops the blackpoll warblers. The plover migrates to/from Alaska and Hawaii each year, making the non-stop 2,500 mile trip in about 50 hours (averaging 50 mph). These birds cannot soar, glide, or float, so they get quite a work-out.

Most of the "cities of the future" that I've seen from long ago grossly underestimated the population growth in the U.S. I wonder if current urban planners are doing the same.

I get that we don't want to punish people who aren't capable of controlling their behavior. But at the same time, people who cannot control their behavior can be the most dangerous to society. So how should society deal with its prison system which, ostensibly, is supposed to exist to keep society safe, not as a…

This is why the internet was invented.

It's quite a coincidence that all the major characters in the book only have friends and significant others who are "their own kind" (magical). Sure, they pay lip service by saying it doesn't matter if your blood is "pure" — but in the end they just hang out with only their own kind. But what is even worse is the…

Bummer to hear about this. The octopus is a very intelligent, fascinating creature. I haven't eaten them in decades because of that (I don't eat pigs either, because of their intelligence). Who knows what an octopus could evolve into?

Before people jump in with "but rainfall is good" — rainfall is good if the ground has the chance to absorb the water. With thunderstorms, too much water is dumped at once that the ground cannot absorb, which becomes run-off or flooding.

The best Star Wars movie is better than any Marvel movie. And the second best Star Wars movie is better than any Marvel movie. The rest of the Star Wars movies suck. It's because the two best Star Wars movies are SO good, that I cannot vote for Marvel, even if Marvel has the better consistent (average?) quality.

The rate of maternal death in the United States is shockingly high. The odds are twice as great that a woman in the United States will die in childbirth, than a police officer will be killed in the line of duty. Most women choose to face that risk, and they have my admiration, but nobody should have the power to…

I don't agree that a fetus has enough brain to be an actual human being. But even IF, for the sake of argument, I agreed with you about that, what difference does it make? The rights of a live woman to control her own body trumps any rights a fetus would have. People's right over their own bodies is the reason we…

I'm sure you do like existing, and I certainly don't want you to die. But if, hypothetically, your mother HAD aborted you, she may have had some OTHER child later on, instead of you, who was deprived of the joy of existing because your mother carried YOU instead. Most women who have an abortion go on to have other…
