Yeah, sorry, meant area.

What is amusing is how the imperial system is hardly an American, or even anglosaxon thing. My grandfather didn't have any problem estimating distances in miles or leagues (obviously the Spanish mile had a different length than the British or the American one), and my mom, who worked at her mother's shop, knew her…

The lack of metric/imperial coordination also left the space telescope Hubble almost blind at the beginning of its mission.

It's not as simple as that:

Until the day when it's you who is the annoying relative asking all the questions ;)

Maybe it's "In My Hannity Opinion"? xD

I don't see Sarkeesian as a feminist. She's primarily a gamer.

More outlandish than the resurrection itself? And the resurrection is like the central tenet of the christian faiths.

Well, having in account that the gospels are full of miracles that people have no problem believing in (like the healing of the blind/mute/handicapped), and has that one miracle that is central to christian faith (the resurrection), i don't see how a virgin birth is much less believable.

Ok, that rules that out, then.

Back in the 80s, unbaptized babies went to a theological "place" called "limbo". But that was only a temporary destination. The limbo doctrine also said, iirc, that at the end of times, the souls in limbo would go to heaven, just like the souls in purgatory.

On the other hand, if the parents were going to baptize the…

Usually a dog's reaction to strangers is caused by the owner's fear than by a fear of the dog itself. I'm not saying you are racist, but is it possible that the dog had that reaction, randomly, a couple of times, and then you made the association that the dog could be afraid of latino men? Then, with that association…

They will probably go with the "did it for the pleasure of helping destroy him". The psychopath angle is the one remaining. Because what is more believable: only one psychopath man or 20 psychopath women?

This scene might not even be in the movie script. Seeing how the release is late next year (right?) this could simply be a throwaway scene made only for trailer purpouses.

So, what of us who feel identified with the characters and the way they act/feel?

This is so awesome :D

Yes, in many regards, i can see the situations being similar.

I like to think, though, that our former dictatorship kind of acted like a vaccine against excessive presence of religion in the legislation. We still have a religion subject, and the church still receives funding from the national budget. In hot topics like…

No, as far as i know, pro-lifers don't admit abortion in the case of rape or danger for the mother, either. Those exceptions are supposed to be a compromise.

In Spain we have had demonstrations in Madrid that reached the mark of the million. A successful demonstration in the capital needs to gather hundreds of thousands.

Well, a country where only 10% of the population attend the weekly service of the catholic church can hardly be called "too fundie".
