To preface this, I’m not christian but I think millenial minister did a great job. I think you’re misconstruing his message - after stating that he doesn’t own her, he goes on to emphasize that he does not own anyone, and noone owes him sex, marriage or anything. Maybe he’s doomed to singledom - if so noone owes him…

If you’ve seen the latest season, they’ve basically gotten rid of 90% of it. I’d bet half the episodes don’t have any nudity in there at all.

That 60 minutes video showing three guys going around telling people that drinking alcohol is bad? Does that mean the “End is Nigh” sign guy standing on the street corner in Manhattan is putting all of New York under a zone of “Biblical Law”? Not to mention mormon missionaries enforcing “Mormon law” at every doorstep…

I don’t think it’s that movie audiences require things to be dumbed down, plenty of good directors have produced plenty of complex, nuanced, and successful movies.

Well, ignoring morality - fit, healthy adults aged mid 20s to late 40 are the economically obvious first choice to save. They have the most economic productivity ahead of them, and unlike children (more of which can be made), society has already fully invested in their education and training so they’re immediately…

It might be the quality of the alcohol you’re drinking. My understanding is that a large part of hangovers is from the impurities and crap in cheap liquor. So if you’re sipping fine scotch all night while everyone else is downing shots of smirnoff or off-brand rum, you won’t really get hangovers.

I’m not advocating banning self-driven cars, I’m saying there doesn’t need to be a ban enacted because the current negligence laws, product liability laws, and insurance mathematics would probably do the same thing. I’m also explaining why you can’t compare it to other things in life which are unavoidably dangerous.

Here’s two separate Fox News apologies retracting their assertion that “Sharia Zones” exist.

One major legal principle to determine whether something is unacceptably, and illegally, dangerous, is whether the very thing that makes it dangerous is also essential to it’s function. I.e. that’s why knives are not banned, because the very thing that makes it dangerous - being sharp - is also what makes it useful…

Well, I cited a neutral source - Wall Street Journal - and, I’m not saying there’s no bearing but generally mainstream news organizations, whether we’re talking about CNN or Fox News, don’t outright make up lies. The actual facts are true, it’s the interpretation or choosing which facts to use that changes. But…

Geez, there’s no point arguing sources with you is there? I’m not citing those sources for their commentary - so whether or not they’re left-leaning doesn’t really matter. I’m citing them for the facts reported on - i.e. that pro-leave politicians retracted a previous assertion that the NHS would get an additional…

Yes, I agree that changing the US alone would not make a major difference - but I was faulting the common argument that uses that as an excuse for why nothing in the US should change at all. Nothing in the world has “simple” solutions, they all require a combination of different solutions. Saying that a specific…

Yes, they can get sanctioned for bringing a frivolous suit.

Why can’t you compare them? Group of people at a location. Check. Unauthorized shooter shoots a bunch of people. Check. No normal expectations of heightened security required. Check.

The article was unclear/insufficiently researched. It’s loser pays IF the lawsuit was frivolous. It’s for like, if I randomly decided that your comment caused me emotional distress and sued you, costing you $700k to defend even though there’s obviously no basis for it - then I’d pay.

Good point (and I admit, solely pointing to Salon is as bad as Breitbart (probably worse than citing Fox News)). How’s Washington Post, NY Times, CNN, BBC, The Independent, and Guardian?

Oh yes, that’s a good point nuclear power should definitely be utilized more. Doesn’t even have to be fusion (which will be far further in the future, even with extensive funding), but improvement of fission plants. Like with research into improving solar, wind, and other renewable resources - similar attention should…

Ha!

Well this was pretty widely reported, Salon was just the first link of many that popped up. Sounds like you’d dismiss any thing that goes against your opinions to be “leftist propoganda” and “anecdotes” anyway, so I’ll stop bothering.

Ah well it depends on the context of course. The same actions and mindset can be very different between different classes of people. For poor, lower, or middle class immigrant families it’s probably more about building/sheltering wealth - but of course it’s different for rich families. But that’s not saying much, once…
