  1. Oh, I'm sure he was! I was just chiming in with my own personal contempt for that particular agument!
  2. I consider the "My Body, My Choice" argument in favor of the pro-choice position to be the absolutely least-persuasive one possible. The far superior argument involves the burden to society -- both economic and otherwise -- through the existence of children whose parents are either unable or unwilling to provide them with a nurturing environment.
  3. @sblfilms - do you have any insight as to how the MPAA would rate a film with all of the swear words bleeped-out? Technically, the MPAA would theoretically have no idea what word is actually being bleeped-out, right? It could be something as benign as "butter" so would they assign a more restrictive rating based on the bleeping of inferred/implied swear words?
  4. Is it possible to have the swear words be bleeped-out and it still be G-rated? Because that would be freakin' hilarious if so!

ISW analysis for 14 December 2022: Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, December 13 | Institute for the Study of War WWW.UNDERSTANDINGWAR.ORG Belarusian forces remain unlikely to attack Ukraine despite a snap Belarusian military readiness check on December 13. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko ordered a snap comprehensive readiness check of the Belarusian military on December 13. The
  6. One of my aunts experienced that a couple of years ago and they attempted to "air ambulance" her from Trinidad to Miami for surgery. There simply wasn't enough time to save her.
  7. @Fizzzzle - does this mean that you're finally going to see if any of those A Total War Saga: Troy Steam codes that I sent to you actually work?
  8. My relationship with the name is that it's a bunch of letters that form a word that's associated with me by random cosmic chance so I really have no strong feelings about it
  9. She's not even sure if Rogue Squadron "will happen or not". I think Disney/Lucasfilm is in as much as -- if not more than -- of a confused state as to what to do about Star Wars theatrically than Warner is about the DCEU.
  10. In the event that I ever did get married, I would absolutely insist that my spouse retain her own name or I would take hers. Oooohhh - I have an even better idea! We'd combine the two names in some way, maybe even randomly scrambling the letters!
  11. As fantastic an idea as this is, I can't help but wonder if it would be better applied to vaping products rather than tobacco ones for the age groups that are being targeted.
  12. I honestly don't blame either of them for necessarily feeling a sense of exasperation or lack of sympathy for what they and their colleagues experience on a daily basis. If anything, I would be surprised if they didn't feel that way and I'm OK with them taking that frustration out on the "safe space" of this board. However, as I previously stated, I don't view it as binary situation at all and simply will not apologize or express any contrition for reacting the way that I did to the story.
  13. This is far from being a purely binary situation (the well-being of healthcare workers vs the well-being of vulnerable populations) and represents the overall failure of society on every possible economic, moral, social, and political level. But I will stand by my initial "gut" reaction.
  14. I will make no apologies for expressing revulsion at the seeming mistreatment of a vulnerable member of society.
