I think the books though were clear about the passage of time. I am all for time passing off screen, I really have no problem with that, however, if you look specifically at Jon’s plot, we know time hasn’t passed all that much, based on conversations with Ed, and Davos. So while you could argue that Jon’s story was…

Right. It could be that’s the case and everything’s much closer than I was thinking, but it seems inconsistent with early travel times shown in the show.

Yeah I just saw that and I have no clue, if they acknowledge a passage of time off screen I’m totally ok with that. But so far it was made pretty clear that time was not passing in large chunks off screen.

I’ve loved this season so far with one glaring exception. The timeline makes no sense at all. In the course of only a couple of days (I think actually only two days) Jon is killed, resurrected, hangs the traitors and is figuring out what to do next - all good so far. In the same span of days Sansa and theon escape…

I agree, insulting you or your opinion will never get you to see things a different way, and vice versa. I also agree life is mostly unfair across the board, but it’s important to remember it is more unfair to some than others. I think for some of the issues a poor way of discussing comes up because those who see the…

You’re going down a rabbit hole with this one. There’s absolutely zero reason to believe something like that would happen, and it’s not worth denying rights on the basis of a future projection of events that you don’t have any evidence for the likelihood of those events occuring. You can’t just follow any line of…

Your logic is sound, so to you a post-op Transgendered person is allowed to use the bathroom that they transitioned to correct? If yes, what if they haven’t completed all their operations, but have begun the transition in their life of identifying openly as something they weren’t previously?

Thing is, it’s not two sides of the same coin. On one side you’re denying someone rights, that literally everyone else has, because of their identity and on the other side you’re denying someone the “right” to feel uncomfortable because they disagree with someone’s identity, not because that person’s identity.

Agreed. I think less often than is said today its actually stemming from hate. That being said, I do not think it’s excusable to stand in the way of the rights of others without taking time to understand those people or the issues around them. It seems clear to me that anyone who would take time to understand a wide…

Thank you! Why everyone is skipping over the fact that even if you make it legal for various people to be in a bathroom it doesn’t make any violating acts afterward legal. I understand the viewpoint of feeling unsafe/uncertain about it, I really do, because although I believe Trans people deserve the same rights as…

I completely agree with your reading of the joke. I think so many times conversations about whether something was inappropriate or not gets derailed from the get-go by a misunderstanding that leads both sides to never agree. Some on the side of PC will sometimes jump on a joke like this and say it’s a bad joke because…

I was also unaware of that part as well. Go you for most informative counter points

True true.

Honestly not trying to be a dick with this question and honestly not sure what my answer is but, what is your idea of justice? Is Justice simply acknowledging that a specific person perpetrated a crime? Is it that acknowledgement plus a punishment to go along with it? Is it that acknowledgement plus steps taken to…

Well that’s a wholly unhelpful answer.

I did not know that life in prison was a set number of years, that’s very interesting thanks. I know I had seen people get sentenced to ridiculous things like 300 years in prison before and always thought that was weird but I guess that makes sense now to ensure even if they get off on some of those charges there’s…

The why not is to save time and money, the second point is valid though.

I can grasp this as a concept and I don’t think you’re wrong for wanting that or anything of the sort. I’m just talking from an institutional standpoint it doesn’t make a lot of sense. Someone else brought up a point though about appeals and if they overturn his first conviction what happens. But I think if there were…

I did not think of that, good point. Could we set up some sort of system where, should he appeal the first one and win, then the second trial becomes slated start and he remains in prison during his trial as would normally occur (assuming someone doesn’t pay bail/ the judge doesn’t allow bail)? I feel like it saves…

But there’s no point to prosecuting them. There is no more punishment he can receive; he starts in jail, regardless of the outcome of the next trail he remains in jail. What is the purpose of continuing to pile up charges?
