Noah's families situations would be considered incestuous by modern American standards, but the peoples of the ancient world did not regard cousin marriages as incest.
Well, no one would make that mistake around here! The way people celebrate "ethnic holidays" can be annoying, but that's a nice thing about fictional holidays. No one to offend but fellow fans, really. Or Disney by making our own swag instead of buying it from them.
We're not boomers, lol. Us young folks are more open to double or even quadruple dipping our fandoms.
Also Jedi and Trekkies can now bond over J.J. Abrams ruining both of our franchises.
How are you all celebrating this most sacred of days? Quite a lot of theaters around here are doing screenings of The Phantom Menace in honor of it's twenty-fifth, and it seems like a good use of a rainy evening, so I'm dragging my trekkie boyfriend to the cinema. He drew the line as cosplaying.
I've more or less given up. Biden is barely bothering to campaign, and Trump really could shoot someone on 43rd street without any fear of losing supporters.
You are in serious denial of what is happening on a weekly basis in Gaza. If you refuse to tall about what's actually happening rather than what you wish were happening, there's very little hope of productive conversation.
A child dragged in front of a soldier as a blockade for bullets is a human shield. A child living in the house they live in is not a human shield. Everyone fucking grows up somewhere, Tom. There's a reason the deliberate targeting of civilians is called a war crime.
You say it's complex, but Israel's solution - rush in and kill everyone who might be standing in the way of a terrorist, regardless of age, sex, or complicity - is all too simple. Giving them a blank check and a bottomless magazine regardless of what they do with it because it's too hard to...
I have no idea why you would expect that, when this whole thread more or less is about arbitrarily deciding when it is right or wrong to
1. Stage public protests
2. Savagely beat and arrest public protesters
2. Commit mass infanticide
based on the poster's personal feelings about the cause...
My school is actually considering akin to this, except that it is at the Academic Senate level and thus non-binding. They've already won in a way, because there's been very little open discussion; everyone is too afraid to actually voice any opposition to the draft statement, so it is likely to...
Are you actually expecting me to change my mind about the moral acceptability of killing hundreds of thousands of children to achieve vague and insubstantial political goals?
So this is appeasement, in your view? Israel is too dangerous to refuse weapons to? Your hypothetical scenario would have to be pretty fucking bad to be worse than what they are currently doing. 2% of the district's population dead in less than half a year, 130,000 children dead, and Israel is...
If that situation existed, and the only way the police could think of to "get" the fugitive is to bomb his house to rubble, knowingly killing his entire extended family, including children? Yes. Yes, I would have a major problem with that theory of policing. Apprehending a fugitive to stand...
I have never objected to Israel "defending itself". Genocide is not defense, they are slaughtering some of their subjects by the millions and endangering even those citizens they intend to protect by aggravating damn near half the planet against them.
I do not believe in blame. I do believe in responsibility. A person, an organization, a military must be held accountable on some level for the results of the decisions they make and the actions they take, or the maintenance of civil society becomes impossible.
Wait, what the hell? I'm a country boy, and I know that faunal euthanasia is a thing, and indeed I kind of thought this scandal was being a tad overblown, but... three horses in a month? What the fuck is this family even up to, to have such a growing body count? Did the trio of them contract a...
