Lesbian Teens Named 'Best Couple' {Lemondrop}

Jul 9th 2009 6:02PM Actually, the Roman Empire collapsed shortly after forcing everyone to convert to Christianity. You may want to pick a different example.

Lesbian Teens Named 'Best Couple' {Lemondrop}

Jul 9th 2009 5:57PM On second thought, I suppose there is too much love and understanding in this world.
I mean, if we REALLY want things to improve, we should stone, lynch, crucify, or burn anyone different, and blow up as many heathens as possible: Its accomplished wonders elsewhere, right?
After all, Jesus always said the most important commandment was "Hate the weirdos."

...Or was it, perhaps, "Love thy neighbor...for what you do for the least of My brothers, you do for Me"?

Anyone remember that part?

Lesbian Teens Named 'Best Couple' {Lemondrop}

Jul 9th 2009 5:42PM Why do these girls deserve recognition? Easy: Look at this comment board. Its full of ignorance, bigotry, and baseless hatred- all of which these girls have inevitably dealt with- yet they remain open and proud of their love, even when others would try to hurt and shame them for it. That is real courage.

You're right, they're not normal: They're exceptional.

Vigilantes Use Online Sex Offender Map to Burn Down Wrong House {Switched}

Mar 19th 2009 11:05PM @ OnlyGod and Richard:

I'm sorry you got the short end of the stick.

I'm probably the most vehement women's rights, anti-rape advocate you will ever hear from, but I know the difference between an arbitrary moralistic decision (i.e. "mm, how about 17? 18? yeah, 18 sounds good") and a fundamental human right (i.e. freedom from violence or coercion).

Hell, I was 18 for six months before my girlfriend- so I'm a monster?
Is Canada, with its (pretty average) legal age of 14, a nation of dangerous sex offenders? Why the heck haven't we invaded? Oil's more important?

I wish I could say this will be fixed, but I honestly think this injustice will be around for a long time.
Just know that someone understands what you're talking about.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a hypothetical rapist to castrate.

Mar 19th 2009 10:42PM Correction: If they are a threat they SHOULD not be released.
About 90 percent of released sex offenders are arrested again- They get released because there isn't enough room to keep them incarcerated.
Why is that? Because we imprison people for petty crimes. Because we arrest people for voluntarily using drugs and stuff them in prisons where survival means joining a gang, letting drug smugglers and the resulting violent crime flourish.
Because we label both the guy with a 16-year old girlfriend and the psychopath who rapes and murders a 5-year old "sex offenders" and pretend that both are equally dangerous.
That's why.

Show Your Robotic Allegiance with a Cylon Toaster {Asylum}

Jul 20th 2008 5:43PM At last! A hearty breakfast is just what those Viper pilots need to give them that vital edge.
Those frakking Cylons raiders are toast!

Violent Video Games Don't Cause Violence, Says New Book {Switched}

May 17th 2008 11:17PM Actually, "Truthis", M-rated games are not supposed to be played by children. That's why they are rated "mature", and say "ages 17+" on the box.
If a child IS playing something inappropriate, we can therefore assume that their parent/guardian either did not deem fit to look at what they were buying, or thought that it was appropriate for their child. In either case, the blame for any negative effects (assuming there are any) lies with the parents.
Think about it: If an infant blinds itself with a steak knife, does not the blame lie with the negligent person who left the knife where it might become a 'toy'? Or is it the knife company which shouldn't make their products so sharp?

I agree, however, that censoring nudity more harshly than gore is perverse.

Einstein Wrong About Black Holes, Apparently No Einstein {Asylum}

May 15th 2008 7:49PM The technobabble translates to- Its concievable that, in the extremely distant future (many billions of years), the black hole will spew out what it has absorbed in a different (inaccessible) area of space-time.
Think of it as someone chugging food: The food is apparently destroyed, but eventually it, uh... exits by other means.

Vital Trivia or Just Bulls@$T -- You Decide {Asylum}

May 15th 2008 7:36PM I can confirm/correct a few of these:
Charlie Chaplin lost a "Charlie Chaplin lookalike contest".
People swallow 8 spiders in a lifetime, not a year (mostly asleep).
Alcohol, not Cannabis, is the most widely abused drug.
A fridge will not prevent its contents from freezing. (its only capable of cooling)
96% of women really have faked an orgasm
I wouldn't doubt the 9V battery thing (more people die from falling out of bed), but it would be by choking.
Butterflies (and other flies) do have taste buds on the feet.
The population is roughly correct. (btw, it should double again by 2020)
Donald Duck really is banned in Finland.
Spiders rarely kill humans at all. However, they are venomous, not poisonous.
Bonus: There are NOT 100 words for snow in Inuit. There aren't even 20.
Superbonus: You use 100% of your brain (notwithstanding a stroke), though it can reprogram itself to function with 50%. The 10% thing was invented by a self-help guru.

Eating Horse {Gadling}

Nov 27th 2006 12:13AM Then again, they probably think intestines stuffed with slaughterhouse leftovers are "BARBARIC" (those would be sausages). ::shrug:: its all a matter of perspective.
