So we have. The conservatives have defied the law in order to harm minorities and disadvantaged people, and the liberals have defied the law to HELP minorities and disadvantaged people. Not exactly equivalent, in my eyes.

If it were still Power Puff Girls, Dexter's Lab, and Batman: The Animated Series, I'd still be watching it.

After betraying Single-Cell Jesus, Judas Eukaryote felt so guilty that he threw himself off a cliff and burst asunder.
 
Then he felt twice as guilty.

I still want a warrant. My house, as far as I know, has no illegal contraband in it. I still want a warrant if they search it. My phone, as far as I know, isn't calling Daesh or other terrorist organization or being used to arrange drug drops. I still want them to have a warrant. 
 
It it means the police have to actually do paperwork, the poor precious dears, tough stuff. Our rights as Citizens come before the ease of any government agency. First, Last, Always.
 
 
 

I just want to acknowledge that Cate Blanchett absolutely nailed the role of Hela. She was completely convincing as someone with great power and confidence and came across as every bit as threatening and dangerous as she was supposed to be. IMO, she also looked damned good doing it. I found it impressive that she was able to project both "oozing sexy" and "oh hell no, I'm not going near that" at the same time. Mad props to her screen presence and acting ability.

A Roman soldier walks into a bar and says, "I'd like a martinus, please."
 
"You mean a martini?" asks the barkeep.
 
"If I wanted a double, I would have asked for one," replies the soldier.

Lord Liaden, thanks for trying to keep things civil and not intending to offend.
 
 
I don't understand how you can have trouble seeing that a fun, friendly sporting activity where everyone goes home with all their parts intact is very different from deliberately killing people. It's always possible that we're having a massive failure of communication here and not talking about the same things. However, it's hard for me to avoid interpreting statements like that in an uncharitable light. What am I missing here?

I would be all for taking guns away from people convicted of domestic violence. I would support this even--possibly even especially--if it meant that a lot of cops could no longer carry guns.

I would figure that an acceptable Horatio would be about one per sailor.

That was supposed to say "Guy Fleegman wrote:" but I can't figure out the new software.

I've always felt that if someone wants to park in handicapped zones that badly, the logical thing to do would be to make them qualify for it. I understand kneecaps are easy to damage.

We all have to go sometime. Might as well go out gloriously.

Inquiring minds want to know:
 
1) Is that because it was in Antarctica, or because it was a fruitcake?
 
2) Are we sure it started out better than "almost edible"?

There are 10 kinds of people: Those who understand binary, those who don't, and those who know about ternary.

The difference would be that killing in self-defense, or in defense of an innocent third party, is generally recognized as ethically acceptable, and is perfectly legal.
 
The complicating factors, of course, are that 1) it has to be done while the would-be killer poses a clear and present danger to life or limb, and 2) it's ethically (and possibly legally) fuzzy to use lethal force to save a life IF you've got a non-lethal takedown that would work just as well, and Batman has a lot of ways to do that.
