saying "at least some moderate whites admit the murder of a young child is disturbing" isn't a very convincing piece of evidence to support any claim towards an improvement in america's racial track record.

that would be the recent discussion about how white america refuses to address issues of institutional and historic racism within its police force, right?

you're using "we americans at least TALK about our issues" as an excuse to not talk about your countries issues.

this is such a weird overly defensive knee-jerk reaction, though.

he's advocating an attitude towards nationalism, not defending any particular country's track record

what does that even slightly have to do with what he's saying though

what a stupid and awful response to a thoughtful and eloquent point

I've just started watching the show for the first time in the past couple of weeks. I really wish that the show had a much higher ratio of hoaxes to actual conspiracies - I'm about four episodes in and it already feels like it's just way too easy for Mulder and Scully to discover terrifying alien nonsense. Especially…

well i'd probably say that the problem with glee is that the writers simply stopped caring about their characters or their show's internal consistency in favour for pointless drama and plot twists, so i don't think it really stands as a great example for why tv shows that examine multiple issues at once can't be done.

He doesn't have to be a qualified butler, is my point. He would be a soldier that Howard has hired as professional help. As for the problem of "there were no black british people" - If we're arguing that the reason he should be black is to allow for some discussion of racial inequality in 1946 america, then I'm…

i was actually thinking of it as Javis would Alfred, but yeah that's pretty much exactly right

i think if jarvis wasn't just "butler" but "a R.A.F. pilot Howard Stark met in WWII, became friends with, and then decided to hire because he's a) hugely rich, b) likes the dude, c) needs a competent right hand man to help him out with his shit" you could probably get by. i haven't see the show yet, so i don't know if…

doesn't sebastian stan have a nine picture deal or something ridiculous though?

Here's my list:

I've just bought a PS4. So far I've bought Far Cry 4, and I'm going to go out and buy DA:I and Shadow Of Mordor today. What else should I get?

i feel like the best way to deal with recasting a harrison ford part (ie han or indy) is to just pick an actor with a totally different vibe and go with it a la james bond (im thinking of daniel craig's reinvention of the character for this analogy).

it's always bothered me that there's maybe forty jedi and two sith and yet people seem to always know what the force is and intergalactic affairs are always sorted by light saber duels

they don't just go around giving free guillotines to just anybody, after all

yeah i think that's around when you get 4096 and another 2048 so sounds about right
