He’s murderer AND a liar: “early forties” my ass. He looks at least sixty, if I’m being generous and I’m not so I’d say he’s seventy if he’s a day old.

Good point. I would think, however, that people who are employed (small fraction of rich people) would be too busy for this crap. Wait! Maybe this IS (part of) their job!

Check the dates and times. His tweet came before her tweets.

Congratulations (really). I have two young children and we live in a major metropolitan area. Our family also has also had zero minion interactions. So, maybe it’s not that hard?

I thought you we trying to be convincing. My mistake.

Cannot see any possible harm here. No musing from you or anyone else has convinced me that this would infringe on anyone’s right to bodily autonomy. Instead I am convinced that it would protect the bodily autonomy of millions of people who will be free of life-threatening illnesses. I think this is a time to apply…

Thank you for the clarification. Doctors do not have a consensus on the theoretical, philosophical or legal value of individual rights as these areas of knowledge are not their perview. Doctors do, however, have an overwhelming consensus on the value of herd immunity: it is essential to the effective prevention of…

Again, last sentence has no discernible meaning.

No idea what your last sentence means.

Actors are quite good at delivering a writer’s words; not so good at coming up with their own words. Maybe it’s time to stop interviewing them all together? I mean Philip Seymour Hoffman was insightful and intelligent in interviews, also occasionally Matt Damon. Other than that I’m coming up empty.

You mean he was mocking the idea that it was genocide?

Good point. I was remembering Umbridge from the movies.

Umbridge is EXACTLY what I am talking about. Umbridge is powerful and evil (I think she’s the most evil character in all the books) and therefore svelt. The fat people do not rise to the level of powerful or evil; they are often vicious but ultimately impotent and pathetic.

Read the original post again. Slowly, like it’s the “reading comprehension” section on the SAT’s.

I think you have her perfectly: fat people are not strong or powerful enough to be evil. That is, they are not the worst thing in the world.

“Truffling for love” is genius. Are you the original author of this phrase?

So did I. I didn’t see the first but I cannot understand why anyone would like this mess of a movie. It had zero believable characters and seemed to have been cobbled together by a committee of cliche specialists. The only thing I liked about it was that the rather obvious allegory about the UK’s involvment w/India…

That’s not how alcoholism works.

Right. Minorities need to treat white people equally FIRST. Then white people will learn from their good example and equality for all will reign! That will work so much better than minorities trying to service and celebrate their own communities because they are not being celebrated in “mainstream” media.

You really should mind being niave (“niave: (of a person or action) showing a lack of experience, wisdom, or good judgment.”), because it makes you wrong.
