I actually just realized that my reply goes directly to the author/owner of "Red Wine and Apple Sauce" who posted this article and is a fellow member of io9- I hope you don't mind me adding to the discussion!

Not to side with the "anti-vac" crowd, but if you skim this article which simply outlines the condemning admissions that are made in the fine-print insert on the actual flu vaccine (which no one will ever read) - Flulaval in this case - I gotta admit it's kind of a joke to think that you can trust the vaccine opinions…

Why does Palpatine even need a first name? Apparently with the introduction of other "Darths" thanks to the prequel trilogy and other former canon, Lord Darth Vader's actual name is now simply "Vader" since the original "first" name Darth has been reduced to a title. /snark

Now I want to see this done in Robot Chicken: Star Wars fashion...

That's why I specified third-trimester or late stages as you put it, because of that uncertainty - so that being said it's mostly just to make a point that people can be hypocritical and not even realize it, and hopefully others who may be reading this discussion will take time to consider their position on such…

Inspired maybe, original certainly not...

The qualifiers here are that it does vary by state, because I have not heard of any colleges in my region that require current vaccinations or vaccine history prior to enrollment, and since the key difference is that it primarily applies to freshmen I would assume that means vaccines are required only for on-campus…

On 2nd item, I do realize that it's a separate debate but just wanted to raise that point given your previous statement where you actually made it relevant: "Freedom is a great thing when it concerns just you, not so much when it means playing with the lives of other people." Hypocrisy is a rampant global disease…

1. Define "vital." 2. Evaluate your stance on voluntary third-trimester abortion.

You say "most colleges" but I am not aware of any American colleges that currently require students (most of whom are adults by legal standards) to receive vaccinations, unless something has changed a lot since I was enrolled, are you thinking of any schools in particular in the States?

Gotta say I'm especially surprised I didn't see this in the discussion yet. Pretty much the entire zarking series fits into "something truly strange and unsettling," but am I the only one here who has watched at least the first episode? I'd say more but I really don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it...…

Transport to Alta Vista, perhaps? This, I would watch!

Kudos - this is the thread I came here looking for

Well... I thought it was the cover for an album by The Flaming Lips

Considering that the drawbacks to the lasting power of this movie are the incredibly weak script where half the dialogue consists of stating the obvious (which yes I know, it was intentional, I get it) and the unimaginative/personal soundtrack ("The intentionally cheesy bubblegum pop soundtrack is the main character…

All it takes is a bolt of lightning.....

Ahem. I believe this is the point at which CATS reached peak internet.

Have you also discovered the original trilogy "De-Specialized Editions" yet in the torrent-verse? Only way to watch the SWOT, IMO...

Well yeah the stories about the Stork had to start somewhere...!

See you Space Cowboy Jedi.
