Obviously, Dredd is satirical dystopia, Star Trek is optimistic and idealistic.

Heh, this reminds me of an old Judge Dredd comic, where citizens don't work anymore due to robots so they're lives are pretty idle and meaningless. Some guys beat up a cleaning droid and steal it's brooms/mops and whatnot and start gleefully cleaning everything, something that gives them a...

What are you defining the poverty line as?

I don't really need to point out the irony here, do I?

Nah, all the Jewish girls I dated growing up gave great head, and their moms made me some bangin' matzo ball soup. No complaints there my friend. So, I reject your premise as wildly, irresponsibly presumptuous and I think you have some unresolved issues and prejudices about Americans, and...

It's a pity, because in most cases they are trashing their own neighborhoods, some even locally owned small business. It perpetuates a vicious cycle. Who's going to invest capital to improve neighborhoods when they burn down the CVS?

It reciprocal though, if I'm a black dude and see a video of one of my peers getting shot down by a cop, that's going to become the lightning rod for every perceived injustice I've experienced too. I'm not sure that looters have any political motivation either though, that's just opportunism...

Not even sure what that means. If anything I'm trying to express that narrowly focusing on the worst case scenario of a very complicated and multifaceted issue in a very diverse lanscape doesn't really give you a comprehensive understanding of an issue.

I think conflating Mississippi in the '50s to the nation as a whole is about as insightful as conflating '30s Germany with Europe as a whole. Not very.

Oh, and I like Paul Di'ano Maiden better.

Beets are the king of vegetables. Taste like candy. Cliff Burton's death was the end for Metallica. Brunettes > blondes. Will Smith's shtick is so played out. Christopher Waltz too. Religions really need to pay taxes on their shit. No more free rides.

How about guys like gary gilmore that want to die? Why sentence them to death and then not have the balls to pull the trigger when its OK with them? Thats a great case, i highly recommend Mailer's Executioner's Song, great book won the pullitzer.

He cant be that stupid he went to Yale. He did have tremendous struggles with the english language though. But in terms of crisis mgmt. 9-11 was carried out by Saudis. So naturally the case must be made for starting a costly war in both Iraq bc yellow cake. Put the country in massive debt...

Yean and Bill Clinton and Nixon for their commitment to truth, transparency and integrity.

The topic is BLM. Which, if that is the premise, wouldn't we want to look at the biggest risk to that community and not canards? Black lives DO matter, and focusing efforts in the areas of greatest risk would seem to be the best way to go about it.

Eh, read a newspaper, innocent people get killed in the crossfire all the time. Often children in their own homes by stray bullets. Gang members aren't disciplined shots. They don't go to the range much. Thanks for the context, we're talking in the context of BLM here of course. Frankly, it...

I think we can all agree. Racist cops are bad, they gotta go. Racist cops who kill innocents gotta go - to jail. That said, according to the FBI, 94% of black murder victims are killed by... other black dudes. 94%! Black dudes shooting black dudes, this is no outrage I guess. I really find...

Take a deep breath bra, it's a senate hearing, it's base theater at it's worst. Right next to pro-wrestling. It's a show. Kabuki. ugh, -2 weapon proficiency for patting yourself on the back too hard.

That's the beauty of executive orders, up until the guy with the other colored neck-tie gets to use them. I don't really care to read that whole list, but looks like a whos-who of the inner circle of hawkish, establishment, neo-cons. Alienating the architects of the Bush administration is a...

True, when it was Obama, the GOP complained he took too many vacations or golfed too much. It's funny now, how with the shoe on the other foot, both parties have proven that they are no better than the other, and use the exact same tactics they decry against one another. Which puts the dems in...
