...I'm not willing to kill to get what I want.

@exwizard: Actually, I suspect this is the tip of a much larger and more even more philosophical debate; to wit: Are animals "people"? Do we share common denominators really?

I'm inclined to agree with Lamar on this one: How are we defining "war".

@Bigdamnhero: Jealous. I have to be on the wagon for a while. But aye, Bushmill's is nectar of the gods. And not to expensive, either (at least where I live).

@MrGOH: <—— He speaks sooth.

@NotChoinski: Well, your heart will be fine, anyway.

So basically: Hey, here's another way that your vices could be healthy if you weren't a human being! Score.

@KTope: Yeah this is something that you can't just take off and put on as you please, but a permanent addition to the body. I suspect that's the key point, as KhaiJB also mentions.

@Meredith Woerner: +1

Have not seen the source material. Pretty sure I don't care to. The grotesquerie of this concept makes me want overwrite the mental image with a weekend of hedonism (that doesn't involve fecal matter).

@CoffinDodger (If the typos crap. Blame my keyboard): What I find really distressing is, I think I probably know some people who would go for a tat like this. Yes, not just one. Some. (I have a lot of... unconventional... friends.)

@Scimarad: @Aidan_ Is: The Electric Napoleon: But they DID give up in the face of hopelessness.

@khrysavek: Psshhhhh. Lol. I wouldn't say I'm having a mood, but I reckon I could easily go over the edge. It's Thursday, y'know?

@khrysavek: It does seem indeed!

@Annalee Newitz: Thanks for clarifying that, Annalee. That does give me a better picture of what's going on there!

"What better way to do it than by battling each other in a campy romp through the Everglades?"

@khrysavek: No I like the "predisposition" concept better than "oh, blame it on my genes".

@Scorpi: Well, I don't want to get into it here. But the chemical imbalance theory clashes with my own information (both studied and directly observed) and I do not buy it. This viewpoint isn't something that's going to change through an informal online conversation.

So when are they going to do "Superman Vs. Sentry"? "Batman Vs. Captain America"? etc. Because I'd tune in for that. *grin*

I think I've pretty much established I'm not afraid to ask stupid questions. So: The end of this article seemed to indicate that cancer is considered a genetic disease?
