Says you, while wallowing in sedentism at your computer, hanging out on an internet that is an indirect result of the Industrial Revolution & contemplating the merits of genocide.

I think an important thing to keep in mind as well is that there's increasing evidence that a lot of obese people tend to exhibit significantly higher markers of inflammation & chronic immune activation related to the activity of their fat cells than non-obese people. And this chronic inflammatory response seems to be…

YES to this whole look.

Huh; the frame is supposed to be on Laverne Cox (not that Carmen Carrera isn't also gorgeous).

She is so gorgeous, I can't even handle it.

Mmm-hmm.

The cost of ICU for 20-26 weeks was the first thing I thought of as well; that could well and truly pauperize this poor family. Who will then, of course, be labeled moochers and parasites trying to milk entitlements from job creators or some such bullshit. This whole thing is nauseating.

I'm not snarking on your point, but I do want to echo other commenters that the doctrines and policies of different religions, Catholicism included, have changed as a result of novel interpretations, political expediency, and other motivations over the centuries, so in some ways they can be seen as living texts that…

I can't imagine the studio putting that ending on a big screen. Plus, there were so many plot threads that were left dangling because of it. My fingers are crossed, anyway.

Andrew Lincoln, GTFO of this movie. You have zombies to kill.

No you are not, I LOVE that idea.

Agreed, plus (FURTHER SPOILERS) Peeta survives prolonged torture and mind control and comes back from it with his humanity intact. That takes strength and fortitude that I doubt Gale or even Katniss would have had if they'd been subjected to the same horrors.

It's interesting to me how much Peeta is portrayed as the weakling in these discussions, since I wonder if people will be saying the same thing once the Mockingjay movies are made. No details, but Peeta reveals himself to have the strongest spine of all of them.

I agree with you; it's the "men started the war and must die for it" bit that struck me as cray-cray.

"I ask them about centuries of conscription including in the 1970s Vietnam war, when at the height of the feminist movement, only men were forced to get killed, they say that men started that war and must die for it. And when I ask why don't we have a more equal distribution of war casualties, I'm called a…

It is my avowed hope that in 20 years, she will look even more like Katey Sagal than she does right here. And can you even imagine if she starts rocking the Gemma Teller look???

Tiny little shoes!!

Good point. However, there's still something different about taking the thoughts that someone who's not working with you writes down and using them, word for word, as if they were your own, then lying about it when someone pulls up a side-by-side comparison, then getting angry when called out for your lies.

You'd think so, right? Turns out these guys just want government to leave real Americans (white, heterosexual men) alone. Govt can get all up in the rest of our businesses, apparently.

Is it too much to ask that our elected political leaders be capable of having and articulating their own thoughts rather than pretending that the thoughts of others are their own? Profit or no, this remains wrong.
