Re: what death scene in a movie sticks with you?

Grave of the Fireflies certainly ranks up there.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mTM-pDBnoU Heartbreaking. The boy lives through it all, the death of his parents, the death of his sister, only to die of starvation at war’s end. I read somewhere that the intention of the book's author, was for Sei...

Re: Congresswoman Lauren Boebart fondling in theater.

All I can say is a 36 year old grandmother should not be judging other people and preaching “family values” when you look at her past and present behavior. I would agree, and also expand it to state that very few that preach "family values" seem to have any, upon closer examination. A bit...

Re: Congresswoman Lauren Boebart fondling in theater.

Boebart's husband (she's still married) has a record for sex offenses: It appears that might not be the only thing about Jayson that Rep. Boebert doesn't want the public to know. In January 2004, when Jayson Boebert was 24, he was arrested for exposing himself to two young women at a Colorado bowli...

40 % of estimated world oil reserves are locked in the artic… until now. Even China, claiming to be a near Artic country, has sent troops to claim their land (and oil). Whenever oil reserves are estimated, it is with the assumption of harvesting for less than retail value. As prices have gone up, m...

Re: "Our global energy predicament"

I didn't intend to argue in a naive Stop oil now! direction. As Oil gets more expensive over time, more and more of it will be used for things where we have no practical alternatives yet, like lubrication, various liquid pressure systems, and whatnot. Over time if it gets more and more expensive, th...

Re: "Our global energy predicament"

And oil will NEVER be gone Virtually no natural resource will ever go down to zero availability. What happens is that eventually, the resource becomes so scarce and thus expensive, that there is not much demand for it. The last two petrol cars on the planet can continue to run on the final million ...

Re: Mormon missionaries

If the locals made it a habit to hang proselytizing cunts from the next best tree, they would soon stop coming and the problem would disappear. Historically it usually had the opposite effect.

Re: 22Yo Chinese Man Shot Himself on Kandal Farm

Referring to the suicide as "victim of suicide".
Family might use that term as a way of dealing with trauma, but shouldn't it be "the deceased" in a news report?
