Sure it does. Just because there is a constituonal and republican form of government doesn't mean it isn't an empire. The French Empire reached its height as a Presidential republic. The British took over a quarter of the globe during a time when the monarchy was sidelined and democratic institutions were…

Krum was always interested in Hermione for Hermione. Ron got interested when Hermione got hot.

Yeah. It could have made sense if we saw Lupin and Tonks develop a relationship while they went on Order adventures together or something. But since we only see them through Harry's eyes, and in relation to him, it comes out of nowhere.

It also didn't help/hurt that everyone who ever read the books (or wrote them as JK later admitted) could see that Ron and Hermione would be a terrible pairing.

That was contrived for the movies. So the core six could all pair up.

Af an Eighteenth Century man of letters, I am prefently too preoccupied marveling at this concept of Aenternet to be offended. Nonethelefs I may foon compofe a pamphlet decrying the decline in focial morals that hath led to this fhocking affair!

No. Because if the man is always taking advantage of the person, how is the person supposed to be sexual?

Yes. Because you're being very dismissive of a segment of society that typically wants to engage with the world and in fact have agency. Mental disabilities don't negate all cognitive ability. And they don't always negate the ability to make decisions about using their own body and having sexual relationships.

I like how you think Warren should have been gone "a long time ago," when she only became a public figure in 2008.

The only people who call Liz Warren Pocahontas are the President and right-wing internet commenters.

And by your framing you're also pushing against the agency of the brain damaged.

I think you're confusing Naomi Klein with Naomi Wolf.

All of them.

He's doing it because you're pushing so hard against the right and ability of someone to make decisions about their life.

Was this plan developed by an Arrested Development fan? It spawns not one, but two lines of references.

The language of the left is violence. That's why I support the National (tool that makes killing people easier) Association!

Does Donald Trump Jr really think it's a good idea to start pointing out sections of New York's criminal code, when the NY AGs office is investigating his brother's and father's charitable foundations?

Happy Fourth of July! In spite of its many flaws and inequities, I thought America was kind of great before Trump. I think it still is in spite of him. So I'm not going to let these times get me down. Instead I'm going to watch "A Taste of Freedom" and "The Gang Cracks the Liberty Bell" in honor of the Holiday as I…

I think it makes sense. Libertarianism is a sort of "might make right" philosophy. It's usually cast in terms of wealth and talent, but physical dominance would be a skill set that would attract those types of people too. The problem is that militaries are highly anti-individual. So it should conflict. But remember…

If efficiently killing your personal enemies and leaving no trace was what Americans wanted, we would've elected Hillary.
