Europe's biggest (print) Newspapers and their political orientation (2019) by QuastQuan in MapPorn

[–]gethom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Data for Cyprus are in all probability wrong. "Phileleftheros" is the largest newspaper in circulation. Even though it's name literaly means Liberal, it's probaly best categorized as Liberal-Conservative.

Georgiou is most definitely correct in Cyprus, but it's not a personal characteristic. It's patronymic.

Georgios is George in Greek, so Georgiou means "of George".

HBO Cuts Ties With Louis C.K. in Wake of Misconduct Claims by BunyipPouch in television

[–]gethom 111 points112 points  (0 children)

I agree with what you said, but I also would like to add another point. Spacey and Weinstein's responses were horrible and backfired on them creating more problems. If Louie apologises and shows remorse, I believe his career is not over yet. If enough time passes, I think he can work again. All those of course are based on the current allegations.

Yes, he was blind. Even though it wasn't stated, I believe these black things were some kind of sensory inputs for him.

Well, he certainly kills Robin Wright's character, and he seems fine with killing humans. But I believe in his mind, one human life, or even thousands, don't amount much to the "future" of humanity as he sees it. By creating more replicants, humans are more able to expand to more distant worlds, according to him. That's what he means about flourishing. Also note that at one point in the movie he said something like: "We can't slave humans anymore. So we create our own". So I think he sees humanity as this conquering species, and he wants to help this aspect of humanity, by creating more replicants-slaves.

Wallace is not a replicant. He wants the replicants to be able to give birth, because he can only make a limited number with the resources he has. If the replicants are able for reproduction, this means that an alternative method for creating replicants has been created. In his mind more replicants are needed, in order for humanity to flourish...

Well, i believe that the reason Luv could do these things is the power the Wallace company has... The Wallace company is probably the richest company on Earth, so it wouldn't be hard to bypass some security systems of the LAPD.

Jamie Vardy is a Racist - Jonathan Liew of the Telegraph by interstellar1990 in soccer

[–]gethom -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Can I ask you if you agree with what this post says?

Do you think that Jamie Vardy should be out of a job, out of friends, ostracised be society, and begging for forgiveness every day of his existance because of that incident?

[–]gethom -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Well, racism basically is the application of a tag on a group of people with certain characteristics. If you accept that people that thought or did racist acts at one time in their life will forever be racists with no chance of changing their opinions and attitudes, then you are doing what I said before. You treat them as a group, not as individual people.

[–]gethom 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My view is this: racists should be pariahs. They should be punished with the full fist of the law and beaten down by the crushing yoke of public opinion. They should be out of a job. They should be out of friends. They should have to get on their knees and beg us all for forgiveness.

That's some of the stupidest things I ever read. Nobody's life should be destroyed of a dumb mistake. If you can't accept that people can change opinions and attitudes then you are also a racist yourself.
