FYI: Hyperfixating on one thing that happened across eight years doesn't make you look righteous or anti-establishment, it just makes you seem like a troll who doesn't have any interest in real conversation.

Yes, the drone attacks under the Obama administration were ill-advised, killed many civilians, and probably did more harm than good in the end because of that. But the way some of you people talk, it's like you found the one chink and are just going to batter at it, and nevermind all of the good things that were also achieved during those eight years. Sometimes you even sound like you believe Obama piloted the drones himself.

In the book the hobbits take baths in the same room and after being saved from the barrow wight they run around and frolick naked on the grass. I don't think they're affected by the sight of a little peegol.

That first point doesn't matter, because the film is the film and it is not beholden to events of the book. The second point is a good one, though, because that aspect of the Ring is extremely well established in the films.

TK-421, why aren't you at your post?

"I thought they smelled bad on the outside!"

That would be an epic troll. They show up in full-on male stripper mode and whip out giant rubber dildos colored in red white and blue.

He's either in deep denial or is just an amoral money-grubber who doesn't give a shit.

I'm rooting for Yellowstone caldera, baby.

Las Vegas overshadowed it from the start, unfortunately.

He's taking it out on this fish because he misheard someone talking about him and thought they were insulting him by calling him a smelt.

A pint is great at helping me fall asleep. Unfortunately, it also prevents me from sleeping restfully.

The stories live on their own. They left his mind and are no longer his. They live in your mind now and are yours now.

If it makes you feel better about them being there, tear out or paint over his name on them. And continue enjoying stories that are good.

I believe in death of the author. People throughout history were all sorts of awful, but that doesn't mean they didn't have some good thoughts too. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

I've never heard it articulated quite like this before, but you phrase it well.

Men like this absolutely deserve to be condemned and shunned for what they have done, but that doesn't also erase the good that they did before -- nor does it preclude them from ever doing good again.

Always knew she fucking sucked. Not a surprise.

They're freaks. They're not normal and we should stop treating them like they are.

You are declaring that downvoting is "psychotic behavior"? Am I understanding you correctly here?

Most people don't actually use downvotes as a method of personal attack, but rather as a calibration. They see something they don't want to see, they click the down arrow like someone turning down the volume on the TV.

You really shouldn't take downvotes personally. They aren't meant to be personal, and most people don't use them that way.

can't handle negativity in others

The GOP really hates the working class.
