Good. When whatever the kerfuffle is degenerates to the point of Canadians screaming at each other to revoke their gold stars, you know it's almost over.

That's no way to speak of your king!

"Boy, did YOU pick the wrong fuckin' guy!" --Paul Gross, Men With Brooms

I knew a married couple, Brian and Cindy Christ (pronounced "krist," rhyming with "mist"). I told 'em if they had a son, they should name him Jesus (Hay-soos) just so he'd spend his life correcting pronunciation of his name and incredulouse stares/comments from idiots. "Wait, your legal name...

Yes. Unearned. I also know the VC is made from bronze from two cannon captured from Napoleon's forces. After a couple of incidents of throwing hands with the Brits at the NAAFI, we got to know each other pretty well.

Yep, that's why global warming is fake news.

It might have been the very start of the modern upswing of faith in magic bullets. Everybody was wailing about how we needed a magic bullet to fix Y2K. Nope, we needed tens of thousands of programmers going through and fixing millions of lines of code.

The ICJ does not issue condemnations, and its rulings are not subject to veto by any country.

You mean American Democrats? President Franklin Roosevelt, who ordered the Manhattan Project, was and still is widely excoriated by the right for visiting such horrific evils as rural electrification and old-age pensions on the American people. Harry Truman, who ordered it used, was also...

Pure what? Pure cussedness, if this board is any indication.

Adios.

Um. . . that's literally freedom. The kind of freedom most people who identify as conservative claim to want. If you want something, buy it. If you don't have money, die in a ditch.

If you believe in an omnipotent, omniscient Gawd, reality is like the rules of football: changeable at will. If you believe in an omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent Gawd, you're a fool. Gawd cannot be all three and allow evil or suffering in the universe.

Don't need to. In low-organization societies, like the ancient Greeks, the Nordic tribes sometimes inaccurately called "Vikings," northern Europe, and among some Native tribes, slavery was merely the lowest rung on the social ladder (and sometimes not even that). It was not hereditary and it...
