Disney opens up its wallet "I suppose that means we can't buy all of DC, just Batman and maaaybe Green Lantern. I think they throw in free rights to Aquaman if we buy 3 though."

Hawkeye and Arrow say, sure.

Ah, I'd read a book where this happened to one of the characters…. though I think it was presented as a lot less horrorshow than it actually is.

Yeah, if Holt is 50, he would have been in his 30s in the mid 90s.

I think there's a show with a 1970s gay cop and his doctor and hunting antiquities collector boy friend trying to live together and make it in NYC.

I wanted to look up the procedure that made Gina quit for 90 minutes to recover, but I can't remember it now.

Crows can't be that expensive right? You'd just have to have those people that work with animals in movies to sign off.

Yes, there was a civil war there between Hindu Tamils and Buddhist Sri Lankan natives… the Tamils were actually some of the suicide bombers.

There were some Buddhist inspired wars…. I think some Buddhist king actually invaded Sri Lanka to steal the Buddha's tooth at one point. But they never really got to Crusade/Jihad/30 Years War levels.

I want to say both. But I'd have to check. I think the info is pretty readily available, but it's a pretty small sample size.

The thing is, almost every Christian ignores some portion of the Gospels… they don't abandon everything they own, being the big one.

Because it's too easy of a way to write of the bad people in Christianity as not Christian. You don't just get to do that, because it is basically just ignoring the problems in Christianity that let you have Sarah Palins in the first place.

There was also the whole "the apocalypse is happening within a generation' thing too.

Yeah, but Clinton looks pretty good now. He changed his lifestyle a lot since his presidency.

Yeah, but when you actually look at lifespan, the presidents live longer than the American average.

True, but I'm not sure if he has the pull to make that work. I think your average GOP congressman could understand losing Latino voters to the 99% degree they lose Black voters would be terrible.

Somehow, I don't think that being President works the same way as being captain of a Klingon starship :)

I think that's a more modern view of it. The Romans had a lot of very personal deities that they worshiped, and felt very strongly that the city deities were important for the success of their communities.

Yeah, but when you undermine the religion, you undermine the King that rules in Rome's stead.

When you tell people to join and abandon their families, you're never going to have a fully peaceful movement.
