First off, we're all doomed to death. Secondly, I haven't seen the movie, but from what I gather, his was the act of a desperately lonely man consigned to a life of solitude while a candy store of humanity just waits to be awakened. I can't look at that logline and think, "WHAT A MONSTER!"

Well clearly some major changes needed to be made to this film if it was operating from the poisonous, hateful viewpoint that sometimes essentially good people might make inadvisable or selfish decisions when placed in uniquely trying, difficult circumstances.

Just promise me Lancelot doesn't show up and take Galahad away when it's time for the oral sex.

It’s such a fucked-up article that we can only think that the Post is trolling us. Since the obvious intent is to make us click on that headline, well, mission accomplished.

That's kind of a 'glass half empty' perspective. People who give you shit over your name are shitty people and don't deserve anyone's time or energies, and she will have a shorthand in determining who they are and avoiding them.

Yeah, I posted a very verbose and profane comment expressing a similar sentiment (twice), and it got "detected as spam" (twice). I'll recycle one core point from it; you trust people on airplanes enough to serve them alcohol, but not talk on a phone?

Tell that to the people on United 93.

You will get no arguments from me that CEOs are obscenely overcompensated.

The thing is though is that they did make an offer for volunteers to give up their seats (don't remember the exact offer - I'm thinking something like a $400 travel voucher and a comped hotel room), and when nobody took that, they upped the offer, and nobody took that. Again, my point is not to try to say that United…

So if the "aviation official," who was not a United employee by the way, had managed to extricate this man without drawing blood, would we all be hunky dory with it? My point here wasn't really to completely exonerate United in the court of public opinion, but rather to introduce a dispassionate reading of the bigger…

Granted, United fucked up plenty going down this road, but some things really can't be accounted for, like mechanical delays causing a flight crew to exceed the maximum allowed hours to work for example.

Because it's not done accidentally, it's part of the economics of air travel. Some people will simply not show up, and it makes financial sense to ensure that all possible seats are occupied. This is where 'standby' passengers play into it.

Yes, exactly. Having to sell Assad as worse than Hitler in order to defend what was essentially lobbing a few spitballs at him and saying "now don't do it again" is what I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around. But this is the conundrum that modern conservatism gets into if it tries to frame anything it does…

I'm more offended that it seems "worse than Hitler" is the level we have to reach before we can do anything.

Meanwhile, I have a fantastic cartoon Indian accent that gathers dust because the only person allowed to get away with that sort of thing anymore is Hank Azaria.

The same thing happened to me when I attempted to pull Kendall Jenner…

Aw man, why do you have to bring buzzkills like perspective and compassion into the discussion?

I'd be willing to wager Shia has sought psychological counseling. However, they are not magicians that wave wands and make people's inner demons just go away, no matter how much money you throw at them.

Yes, money makes everybody happy.

I think it probably boils down as to whether one sees Donald Trump as some Hitler wannabe with a shadowy, nefarious, secret fascist agenda, or as your Fox News watching grandpa who accidentally ended up being the President when his negotiating strategy with NBC took a weird turn. Then Ivanka and Jared are either his…
