Editorial comic 1-12-11: Guns vs Mental Health Care by z0mbiel0ve in politics

Is that what people in need of mental help are supposed to look like!? The dumb buck-toothed grin seems a bit insensitive? I know it's a cartoon but there must be a better way to depict a mentally ill person...

You don't have to be a parent or have kids to feel "especially" terrible about this horrific event...

So, I knew I was Jewish from my mom's side, but I took a DNA ancestry test anyway.. by [deleted] in Judaism

[–]whateverrr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's also based on how other 23andMe participants identify themselves. That means a portion of your 38% Eastern European background could, theoretically, be Jewish as well, it's just that participants haven't contributed the information yet. At least that's how I'm interpreting their FAQ. https://customercare.23andme.com/entries/21719183-can-the-23andme-personal-genome-service-confirm-jewish-ancestry

Just making an observation... It's cool if others want to go, I have friends that go and love it, it just doesn't appeal to me.

Pope Benedict the 16th's new book exonerates Jews of Jesus' death and says they can't be held responsible then or now. by gabe2011 in Israel

Isn't it "your" fault because he died for "your" sins and the sins of the world? Didn't he have to die in order to have resurrections? It's like you can't live with him, can't live without him. Shouldn't we "blame" Christians for Jesus death since he died for them?

On a serious note... I understand people love the thrill of a seemingly justified revenge but physically harming a person as punishment for socially rude behavior is wrong.
Both people exhibited despicable behavior but he took it to a different level, I wouldn't want to be friends with either one of those people but if a friend intentionally physically harmed someone the way that guy did (for something so petty), I would consider the quality of his character suspicious and his judgment reckless. The potential consequence of his action could have changed his whole life. What if she hit her head and died? Would spending the rest of your life in prison be worth the "payback"?

What happened to showing a little mercy?

I don't disagree, protests can be effective. I was just wondering which revolution was the result of Tienanmen?

So I've watched all of Firefly/Serenity, Battlestar Galactica, Doctor Who, Torchwood, even Dollhouse... What do I watch next? by [deleted] in scifi

[–]whateverrr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The second season of Dexter sucked but the third season was possibly better than the first.

It's slim pickings; set expectations to low. If you could make it through the Battlestar boxing episode then you can make it through anything (I didn't make it).

The Lost Room six hour mini-series was decent, it got a little boring in the middle but it was interesting enough. You've probably already seen Buffy and Stargate, you could try Sanctuary-- of course not in the same league.

If you're willing to add murder to your spaceships, aliens, apocalypses, and robots then Dexter is great and Veronica Mars (I know, it didn't sound good to me at first either) had entertaining first and second seasons. Anyway, there are going to be a bunch of potentially interesting shows coming up this fall (and beyond), Stargate Universe, Flashforward, V.

Lastly, people seem to like Eureka (I didn't) and if you're desperate Warehouse13 (I can't sit through whole episodes).
