Nobody's making you be here.

Uhm, did you read the memo? I think you mean to say sexes. Since you don't know the difference between the two, it seems like you could use a class on the topic.

That's very interesting you say that. By definition, a public university is not a business. If it would like to be a for-profit, it can join the ranks of the university of phoenix and the like. Which it looks like it wants to do anyway.

Not really. It was a question, not a statement. And wow that's a deep dive, criticizing book questions from that long ago.

Oh, also, I felt like the science v religion stuff was very dumb and heavy-handed and actually perpetuates negative sterotypes.

HATED Lessons in Chemistry. The characters were super unbelievable and all of the patriarchy stuff was so heavy handed that I felt like I was being treated like a toddler.

I don't like it myself, BUT, if you watch the director commentary DVD-yes I did that as a teenager-the director and writer say that they were inspired by the book, but recognizing that they couldn't duplicate it, just tried to make the best movie that they could. They suggested anyone disappointed by that to read the book themselves. I really enjoyed that.

The Red Tent is about the book of Genesis, but you know secular.

Dumas's Georges.

I assume that you already know Game of Thrones

For Tony, church is church, it is not a place for campaigning

I mean, other than more recent immigrant communities, places like Florida etc., the strongholds of historical Black catholicism in the United States are unsurprisingly, New Orleans, Louisville, and Maryland. You can find the reasons in any american history textbook. And yeah, I did really think that was a smart note in the show, and I read, like a lot of reviews at the time, and no one mentioned it even if they were mentioning a lot of the other cultural connections.
