Look at the progressive nordic systems and their recidivism rates versus the U.S.'s, the contrast is disturbing. But they don't have private prisons lobbying for harsher punishments to attempt to increase incarceration numbers and the recidivism rate, so that probably plays a part as well.

Clooney doesn't have the charisma of Bale? You ask any woman that and they'd probably beg to differ. And I as a straight male also would as well.

Yeah, I don't think they get enough credit for being so true to the comics and the old TV series. These are what comics were supposed to be before Marvel, DC, Gaiman, Miller all took them to a level of seriousness we hadn't had before. Just cause it's done in the old style doesn't make it bad.

All you Bale-ites don't get that it was supposed to be a return to Batman's TV roots. It was supposed to be schlocky and amusing. Not serious. It was bad, but it was intentionally so. It's how comics always used to be. So bad but you can't look away.

Charlie, when you have to justify a show because it's the best since Alias, you are in bad shape. If you had said Le Femme Nikita I might have gone "hmm."

You don't even have to add "relatively" to qualify Norway as wealthy. It puts the U.S. to shame. Only tiny middle eastern kingdoms and Singapore out-wealth it. It's insanely well-to-do.

Oh, I know they're not the same ones anymore. They're not just analog, set and forget, motion/pressure mines. But unless they have a deactivation period or the U.S. marks down and cleans up every single one it lays, it's not helping the problem at all. It might be not be a big of an offender anymore, but it only takes…

It's the best of both worlds. I, as a man don't have to stand up and get to rest my sweaty, gasping for breath fat ass on you, and you get the doggy you so desired. Compromise.

hahaha. omg. +932.

"Inter faeces et urinam nascimur" comes to mind.

Terry Pratchett's idea much?

That's not how parody works. I can't make a Gawkker website and say lol its a joke and trademark it and claim its my invention and property. You have to license stuff like that from the owners. Parody is a different thing.

hahaha.

I think you underestimate the scope of his mind. Remember where he made his first money? Are Stephen Hawking's concerns also unfounded because he's too dumb to understand computers? Not the best argument.

also every long termer knows how to make a lighter out of a battery and some foil or a gum wrapper.

Prison alcohol is a very interesting thing. Ketchup packets, bread. Anything that has sugar or yeast is fair game. And disgusting, so don't do it.

I eat rice a ton as a broke vegetarian. The only thing that makes eating it so often palatable is knowing how to make it a lot of different ways. Seasoning the water or juice, whatever you decide to use, while it's boiling lets the rice absorb all that flavor while it hydrates. Unless you want plain white rice, season…

ugh. 20 years later I still get nauseous thinking about the smell of the baby pig. I once bought an air freshener spray that smelled vaguely like that and it about made me vomit.

or star wars for a great sci-fi movie. I'm leaving now before someone finds their blaster.

Yeah and then if they don't defend this and let them trademark their IPs, the next time something more serious comes along there's precedence.
