Obviously, any colonial conquest had the bad guys (who were the western countries) win.

There are a lot of oldheads inside, the Hayes types, and I reckon there's a good deal of racism there, but his kind are becoming less and less influential as time goes on.

I hate it. I used to smoke it when I was an edgy teen, but in truth it was more to fit in with my friends, and the usual teenage rebellion.

No, it doesn't. Unless it's prescribed for medicinal purposes, but that's not the case here.

The lying was a problem. I don't think it's fair to forbid your husband from going on porn and I think it's important to consider why he lied. It's also not fair to assume that his usage would naturally spiral to the point where it became a problem. Perhaps he felt that his wife would either be too judgemental, or…

But the dude suggests it every week for a myriad of different problems. Weed is not magic: it doesn't solve all your problems and it can actually cause some. So recommending it as a panacea just because it helps you personally take the edge off is short-sighted.

WWE is pretty progressive, at least compared to what it was even 10 years ago, and few companies have made that level of progress. They give lots of opportunities to minorities. Now, if they can just respect women more and perhaps have a queer representation that isn't stereotypical, then they'll be truly liberal.

Not everyone needs, or likes weed, and there are better ways to relax. MOANS should probably just take a vacation with her husband for a weekend or something. Also, mutual masturbation.

Thinking about it now, how much better would it be for, instead of the tired heel foreigner vs patriotic babyface, Cena came out, cut a promo about how divided the USA, and how the USA should embrace freedom and equality - leading him to make peace with his enemy Rusev, accept him in true American fashion, and they…

Really? I thought the in ring action this week was really poor. Mike Kanellis was painfully average, and the main event really exposed how the WWE style saps all innovation and energy from some of the best wrestlers in the world. I know they aren't going to give us PPV quality matches on free TV, but it was the main…

I loved sunshine. One of my favourite things about it was the various uses of the fludd, which required thought and patience - and the game gives you the time and space to really get the most out of it. Galaxy did have more (and arguably better, from a purely mechanical sense) mechanics, just as bee mario or balancing…

It still lessened the stakes. It doesn't matter when it happened, when you break the rules of the show to cheat a character from death, it ruins future scenarios where those are the stakes. It doesn't matter how large the cast is. As it stands, Jon Snow has plot armour in a series where that kind of thing was never…

Well, there's one problem with that. It doesn't come across that way at all in the show. Outside of one short conversation after Jon was resurrected, there's been nothing to suggest that he's living some sort of cursed half-life. It seems like he's back, same as ever, same personality, same sense of honour, same moral…

But she didn't kill them for justice. She did it for vengeance. For her own self-satisfaction. Justice is not something that happens by accident or as a side-effect of vengeance. Compare the death scenes to the first, of Ned killing a deserter. We aren't meant to enjoy that death. We are even meant to pity the…

Oh, Game of thrones is totally just wish fulfilment now. And it has, for me, killed the show.

I think if someone's inconsiderate enough to not care whether they spoil a show for you, then that probably manifests itself in other ways. For the most part, things that have been spoiled by me have been my fault, either me not caring about the media in question enough, or me being in an article or comments section…

If it was built in such a way, so that it was left up to our interpretation, then yes. Inception's a good example because whether or not Cobb is dreaming is not the entire point of the whole film the way Lost's mystery was, and because there is much to support either viewing, viewers instinctively believe what is, for…

The problem is that those dumb moments mostly fall into the past 2 seasons. Had they been spread across the entirety of the run, I'd agree that the backlash is unwarranted. But the Arya, Jon, Ramsey, Sansa, Littlefinger, Dorne, Cersei and even Daenarys plotlines have become silly in their dumbness. which (rightly,…
