Why would you run this piece before Levar Burton hosts?

I mean, I kind of think it’s okay to fine her for not doing that aspect of her job as well, mostly because I’m sure Osaka can easily absorb those fines. But generally speaking, I am bothered by the idea that when someone says “Hey, this tangential part of the job that isn’t really necessary is having a deleterious…

Every job has unpleasant and awful aspects that are a part of it (harrassment, especially those aspects coming from media, is obviously wrong, and the reporters asking those questions should be unemployed. I am only linking this to actual respectful writers). It’s still a part of the job.

Protected from incriminating each other, yes. Protected from lying to the cops about the identity of the murderer and conspiring with your husband to attempt to kill his brother in order to complete the cover up- NO!!!! WHAT THE FUCK????

I said that exact thing right after Lori’s line - “and I would have gotten away with it, if it weren’t for those meddling kids!”.  My husband looked at me like I was insane.  

The biggest contrivance that I can’t square is, if Billy and John both know who really killed Erin, and if the whole point was to frame Billy for the murder, what the hell was the point of John getting Billy to say to him that he killed Erin?  It made no sense, because John didn’t need to hear it, because he knew it…

I kind of presumed some would push back on the Ross kid being guilty of the murder, but while watching while it was unfolding, so many fragments of scenes earlier in the series started to make more sense, because without the context, they were just odd and curious. I didn’t think it a cheap twist especially given how…

We’re still a decade away from the societal decay that will allow your idea to come about.

Or Wakandas!

Them neither!

Why do we need another Wanka? We’ve already got one perfectly wonderful Wanka, and the only time they tried to replace him, we got a dreadful Wanka. No more Wankas!

The only difference between a cult and a religion is numbers. 20 followers? That's a cult. 20 million followers? That's a religion. 

Respectfully, your posting as well as Santorum’s statements reflect a poor understanding of culture in general, current US culture and Native American cultures. You put a counterargument right in your posting when you mention food, architecture, etc. Culture isn’t just dance and religion. It’s everything related to…

I think the difference is framing it as “we built a country from nothing” instead of recognizing that a nation was destroyed to build a different one. Santorum basically expressed it in a “genocide is great if you’re the ones to do it” way, and that was the objectionable part to me.

If the best scenario is Scientology, that’s not too bad. Despite it being obvious that fewer are joining them and paying thousands of dollars in classes, they have invested their money so well, especially in real estate, they might never disappear. Their tax exemption is such a scam, legalized Ponzi scheme is a total…

Motherfucker we’ve JUST been saved from Last Man Standing

I wouldn’t say “never.” But it would take probably take a catastrophic reset in society or civilization and most of us here wouldn’t survive anyway.

That’s why you’ll never get another major religion, as soon as they gain any traction the pushback from society is too intense, since their fairy tales aren’t already ingrained into our culture. Mormonism got in just under the wire, and even they have a ton of resistance. From the 20th century on the best you can hope…

Is that to the first sentence or the second?

Well.... conventional catholicism is a cult if ever there was one. Top dude (Mr. Pope) is appointed by god to lead the masses. Most of the popes over the century were as far from saintly as you can get. I know I don’t even have to go there with the issues with priests. You know, the guys who are told by god and the…
