Perhaps there should be a few pictures of London, Coventry, Manchester and a few other British cities that were devastated during the Blitz when considering the impact of 20th Century warfare.

Wouldn't matter if it was as simple as breathing. There are some people these days who have decided that good is bad and bad is good and evidence is lies and lies are evidence. I don't really understand it myself, but I take solace in a simple fact: natural selection is working. Those without desirable adaptations…

I would have to say that what the city did to her was fairly justifiable and pretty standard, even for today's standards.

This is why I respect the Monster High line of fashion dolls for providing a welcome island of black and purple in the sea of pink that is the "girl's aisle".

Dunno, pretty sure any whales in captivity are probably lonelier...

I see no problem with Iran developing a nuclear weapons program.

Why does science need women? I know it sounds like a glib question, but it's not. Too often bloggers on gawker media make sweeping pronunciations, the kind where everyone nods there head and say "yep" without thinking, the author without substantiating the premise in any way.

The New Testament: A rabbi from a small town thinks his religion has lost its way, and thus walk the country telling people that the world would be so much better if we made an effort and just got along. Then he is killed, and his followers proceed to do the exact opposite of what he said.

I don't disagree with her message about male nipples vs female ones, but coming from her it just seems like

Why did we move away from 'speculative fiction"? I know the phrase isn't synonymous with science fiction but it seems like it would be a better fit for a story like this. It's a story speculating how our future would be based off of a cataclysmic event.

Bloody royals. You can't dig out a flower bed without finding Anne Cleves or Æthelred the Unready in England now.

My stepdad is a huge Republican. Like, tea party type crazy. He accepts oodles and oodles of dollars in farm subsidies, yet he will be the first to complain about welfare recipients, moochers and handouts that the government gives people. These people have no sense of irony, and zero self awareness. That level of…

A lot of things are lost on libertarians. It's punk rock for baby boomers!

The whole New Caprica arc in BSG. Tigh is a terrorist leader who kills collaborators and institutes a coup over the oppressive overlords. Both the "rebels" and the collaborators are shown in a sympathetic light, and it's hard not to feel bad when the police class is wiped off the face of the planet.

For a more visual example of how things changed, using a pop culture quote:

LOL at Americans who think they don't know an atheist. We're everywhere, motherfuckers!

There really is no justice in the world. One of the most charismatic vampires ever dies so young and the worst vampire ever (Tom Cruise) lives forever.

That's the point. On the one side you have general news sources, including ones with a legal obligation to correct bias, and on the other side you have mouthpieces. It's the fallacy of balance. Global Warming/Evolution/Holocaust deniers do not deserve equal weighting.
