I live in the South, I’m screaming inside my fucking heart every day.

All I can tell you is that when good, intelligent, creative, ambitious, young people choose careers, they don’t become police officers.

WOW!

It may be established, even approved, procedure for that department.

This one makes the rounds a lot, but I love it.

sighs, goes and watches Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, episode entitled “Duet”

It helps them die, which was the goal of these ghouls.

Can anyone explain how holding someone’s nose while a baton is in the mouth helps anyone?! If this was an overdose or someone swallowed drugs, why nose-holding and baton and not Narcan™? You’re not even supposed to put anything in the mouth of someone having a seizure.

You definitely seem to “get it”

Believe me, it pains me to go against Mrs O’s “go high directive”. What’s the point of a moral high ground if it’s on quick sand because the other side keeps eroding the standards. To also use The Good Place as an example, a morally right value does not always bring net good to the world. To win back the higher ground…

This is the part I respectfully disagree with. It’s not about what they do. It’s about who I am. And while I certainly feel every bit as strongly about reciprocating punishment for punishment, blow for blow, and indeed have even posted as much in the past, I prefer to think of myself as a better sort of person than…

That crack at Little Havana will go over well with Cuban-Americans in Florida during an election year.

Oh come on...Katie’s working on the Cool Girl Double Whammy here. She has to be so damn complicit in the administration’s misogyny that it negates her status as female, and so damn racist that they forget that she’s not exactly alabaster. It must be exhausting, and leaves no room for empathy or basic humanity.

I once had someone claim that society should be more like the one in Starship Troopers. Why should you get rights unless you’ve served your country? Naturally, the person saying this was a boomer who did everything he could to avoid getting drafted and ended up avoiding serving in Vietnam.

I think you missed the implication that the bugs didn’t “show up”. We invaded their colonies and they fought back.

I’m going to be the naysayer here. If you want to make a movie about how elevating the military above all other sectors of society is bad, why set it against the Bug invasion? An utterly alien, completely uncommunicative, ravenous enemy who will kill you to the last just for being in their way. What solution is…

But that guy did die in like 2 minutes when they landed, so the point still stands.

One of the first times I realized I was smarter than my father came when we watched Starship Troopers and his take was that it was an awesome war movie filled with badass action stars.

Starship Troopers is the best satire of the War on Terror anyone’s put on film yet, which is why it’s genuinely creepy that it came out in 1997.

society has left itself a single solution to every problem, and it doesn’t work.
