Doh, that wasn't the image I wanted to post. LOL. This sucker!

I have a box set of the Burroughs' Mars books, all illustrated by Whelan. Read them first when I was 12, and instantly understood what was so appealing about the Dejah.

In advertising, the adage "sell the sizzle not the steak" usually means the steak is an overcooked, preservative laden monstrosity and absolutely harmful to humanity. Selling the sizzle is the best way around a product that isn't really that different from all the other products it's in direct competition with.…

So someone who would go through all that trouble to impregnate themselves via SCIENCE would then...opt to have an abortion? Makes sense, right?

Doh, no intended for you. F U Kinja. Obviously intended for troll.

REDACTED, wrong recipient!!!

Dude. Preach. In 8th grade a ridiculous tackle sent my open maw crashing down into the tender area above my knee, plunging my two front teeth down to the bone. I small, insignificant hole was left, which about 6 hours later was massively infected with a simple, but flesh-consuming bacteria that liquified my thigh…

They're familiar...

Ha ha yeah! Like, hey my name's Edward Nigma, get it? Enigma, Riddler?

Cross-posting kills. I feel that's the truth of it. All the safe, informative, and intellectual places are going away in both society and online. They're becoming flush with folks that don't like or at least don't appreciate the idea of a safe, friendly discussion. They think they're doing a favor to those they are…

Everything that Gawker and Jez hated so much about Reddit (where valuable information is lost in a mire of human waste) has become of this site after Kinja. I whole-heartedly agree that everything has changed here. I even feel that the quality of the articles/posts is sliding off into oblivion under this weight. Keep…

Damn Kate, this made me choke a laugh through my sadness, disappointment and dismay...

Right, and this is why I checked myself. Because people can/do realize when something comes from a bad palce. Also, this was the point I had made, which you somehow are throwing back at me as though it was yours...

At first, your fury made me feel like it was a little misplaced, and not very realistic/honest. But, in thinking about this for a little while, I feel that if somebody has to compliment an aspect of your person upon meeting you, usually what they're saying is, they think you need/deserve/earned the compliment.

I disagree with your "effective communicator." I feel like anything less than a comprehensive description could not have been given without inferring pre-judgement. If a compliment can't succinctly separate itself from a pre-judgement, it's not worth giving. It's a cookie from somebody who thought you were less-than…

Weird list is weird.

Doh, you are correct, meant 36% of total pop. Understood on the census counts, I had seen the ~63% marker as recently as 2012. Regardless, my main point was how a mass murderer was connected to a number of factors in addition to race where entitlement comes into play.

Hm, I didn't read what you wrote that way, sounded like it specifically addressed the thinking of the murderer.

Does that mean you would expect the median mass murderer per racial group to be the same across the board? If roughly 36% of the US male population is white (been steadily dropping), but over 70% of all mass murders since 2000 were committed by the same group, that would be a pretty large disparity. That's why there's…

I don't see the part where they think they can "get away with it" personally. I'd be hard pressed to believe that as a white, cis-het male, I wouldn't be subject to the most extreme legal retribution if I committed a violent act against anybody (with the exception of parts of the South and "stand your ground"…
