Every weekend is happy, hell, every day is happy.  :cheers:

Today is Sunday – and it's gorgeous outside. Time to go see the leaves change color.

"Androgynous mortal or Asexual God", not sure what that means. If you mean a god that doesn't care about sex and sexuality, I'll choose that as I prefer my men to be men and not androgynous.

A light, very light, sexual spanking or a light sexualized tickling?

Hmmm. Yes. I don't like her, anyway. She's insane.

You should do yoga to become more flexible.

@flozen:

Even as an atheist myself, I don't tend toward declarations that all people of religious belief are the worst.  However, I would agree that taken as a whole, more negative than positive actions have resulted from the enforcement of religious doctrines.

I enjoyed the article from religionnews.com, previously unaware of the site's existence.  And among the article's findings, I was struck, in particular, by:

"Overall, the results are clear: No matter how we define morality, religious people do not behave more morally than atheists, although they often say (and likely believe) that they do."

That depends on how you're defining morality which, in turn, depends on your personal and group biases.

If you truly believe in an afterlife with hellfire and eternal torment, then the moral thing to do is fight the fight you think your deity wants you to. This ultimately means that groups like ISIS and The Westborough Baptist Church are morally superior to Muslims and Christians who follow a less strict version of their doctrines. This also means that the parents who throw their child out for being gay are (attempting) to act within the morality in their beliefs.

Who is more moral, the parent who stands by while their child burns alive in a fire or the parent who runs in to save them?

Morality is a tricky business. I think this title question would be better written as either "Are religious people better able to exist in our modern science-oriented society?" or "Are religious people more socially responsible than non-believers?". Maybe even, "Are religious people able to follow judicial law and social moors better than the non-religious?".

I thought that could was really are, or is one massive planet in Kyper Belt. Remember, they're assuming there is a planet because of the calculations of what they assume and observe and the effects of that mass on the planets we already know about.

To me, it's amazing that they can find planets rotating around distant starts and calculate whether or not they are in the habitable zone but they can't find a giant planet within our own solar system – that's how large our tiny little patch of the Milky Way is.

@raphjd:

cteavin said he supports 10% of those executed being innocent.   This goes hand in hand with feminists and their cucks advocating that we JUST BELIEVE and send men to prison simply on a woman's say so, claiming that only 2% to 8% will be innocent.  In your cuckery, you either can't see how the 2 are directly related or, and most likely the case, you are so dishonest that you don't want me shining a light on the issue.   You don't really have an issue with me disagreeing with cteavin, you are just butt hurt that I show feminists for the kind of people they truly are.

(queue fake angry black woman accent) Giiiirl, don't you be putting words in my mouth. (imagine emjoi of said black woman doing that head bob thing)

I want to be clear, I'm telling you there are two principle ways to write laws. One writes them to avoid putting the innocent in prison, releasing the guilty who go on to become repeat offenders. The 10% was a hypothetical, arbitrary number. The other option is to create a strict penal code that keeps the guilty in prison with a higher number of innocent.

Those two options are on a continuum. As long as people are judged by circumstantial evidence, our choice will remain on that sliding scale. The feminism argument you keep going back to (sigh) puts a higher number of innocent in jail; it also adds an element of tribalism to the argument and if you're going to insist upon that, then you must also bring into this discussion the disproportionate number of blacks in jail, which complicates things a lot.

@Frederick:

This answers a question I had for a long time.. why is it that New Jersey and New York voted for Hillary?  THIS is WHY!

Furthermore..  the media in the USA is monopolized by New York and California.  By pissing off those 2 states.. you have all the media outlets and all the celebrities against you.

The first paragraph assumes that the election was about policy when it was about personality and a perception of social equality. The election was a terrible choice. NY and NJ voted Hilary because they hated Trump and Trump was a proxy for a certain portion of the electorate; the reverse is also true. The number of people who understood the real issues were in the minority across the board.

Your second paragraph is true. It's a sign that all the propaganda didn't and isn't working absolutely – no doubt it's in part to POTUS being able to communicate directly through Twitter.

@JohnAllenson:

I saw the actual Japanese version.  One of the things I didn't mention liking - Godzilla's scream was top notch special effects even for now.

The American version intercut with Raymond Burr.

Who was the last surviving actor?  Was it Akira Takarada?

Yup, that was him.

On TV quiz show here, they showed that the roar was made by rubbing leather gloves over some kind of string instrument (I forget which one).

Oh, what you can find on the Internet.
Youtube Video

Nice long tongue kiss. Preferably with one of us collapsing onto the other after (I love the feeling of the weight upon me.)

Jerking off with one or two hands?

@Mcjl:

Has anyone seen that the spacey drama may involve charges being filed is this for real ?

All the allegations I've seen are ancient history. Unless he's done something where there's proof, I can't imagine it happening. However, they do seem to be ready to prosecute Weinstein.

@Mcjl:

It's hour 8 of 5 kids ages 4-16 . OMG  and still going strong.  They had school so I'm like why aren't any of you tired.  I love them to death but Dann go to bed.

And how did a gay man end up with five kids? (insert emoji of me eating popcorn waiting for the answer)

I teach teenagers. I feel for you. I really do.

@JohnAllenson:

I saw the original (Japanese print) of Godzilla yesterday.

Did you watch the version intercut with Orson Wells or the actual film the Japanese saw?

They screened it in Ginza a few years ago for it's 60th anniversary. The sole remaining cast member came for a Q&A. It ends up Akira Kurosawa was filming The Seven Samurai on the next lot over so between breaks the two film teams were on each other's sets.

@Frederick:

You slithered by that one…

The name of the organization is "Planned Parenthood"  yet it's overwhelming goal is to PREVENT "Parenthood". 
I think they should try renaming it to the more appropriate "Snip My Baby's Brain Stem To Prevent Parenthood"  and see how people react.

I know, right. I go to Burger King and am waited on by mere serfs – I came for The King. And where is the cocain in my Coca Cola? And The Pill? Pure bullshit, it's not ONE pill but an a lifetime commitment.

Planned Parenthood has a range of services. Some, like providing hormones for trans people, shouldn't be offered, imho. If you're trying to be clever with wordplay, you fell short. If you're trying to point out that the government shouldn't fund PP because part of planning for parenthood is abortion, well, that is an interesting topic.

@raphjd:

To answer your question;  NO INNOCENT MAN SHOULD BE SENT TO PRISON OR EXECUTED.

And that is not an option. It is impossible to have a perfect system where no person, over a length of time, is ever wrongly incarcerated or executed.

So you're, Fred and raphjd, choosing to let 99 people go free to protect the chance of one innocent from being wrongly accused. Fine. That's your choice.

What you chose is to let the guilty go back to commit more crimes. That means that the guilty who should have died or been incarcerated hurt or murder innocent people. We hear it all the time. Pedophile molests again. Illegal alien kills third victim. Convicted rapist released, caught ten years later for same crime. Just look at the statistics for repeat offenders.

In not executing or incarcerating the guilty you make life much less safe for the average person.

@raphjd, you seem to expect that everyone knows everything you know. To have that same knowledge will open up our third eye so that we can sing kumbaya together against the great Satan SJW.  That's not how communication works. You're not omniscient but a human being with his own biases who must live in the world with other people who know what they know. Share and discuss, don't preach and expect to be blindly followed.

Thor Ragnarok opened here today, omg, what a fun film. It was colorful, funny, filled with action and great costuming. The film really plays like a comic book. I think these types of films are more and more moving away from comic book movies into other genres. The New Mutants will be horror, Thor Ragnorok is comedy/action.

As a popcorn film 10 out of 10.

It opened here today. I loved the acting. To think, The Goonies' actors used to be considered top quaility. These kids though… Wow. They make the story come alive.

10 out of 10.

Tire yourself out with exercise then take a hot bath to pull the blood into your skin. You'll pass out soon enough.

Never. If I'm going for sweetened water, I'll choose granitas. If I want a frozen dessert, I'll go full on ice cream.

(Thor rocked, btw.)

You should mellow out. Have a drink. Relax.

@raphjd:

On or off campus, she should sue.    She was hired by the event organizers to take photos of the event and was labeled a racist for doing so.

The same with the "white people go around" event.   All the white students should do a class action suit against the university, city, and police.

++++

I also think that everyone affected by the "Dear Colleague" letters bullshit should sue as well.    The US Dept of Ed admitted that the letters, despite the claims in the letter, had no legal basis and their threats toward the universities would not and could not hold up in court.   The letters were purposely worded to mislead.

The Obama administration illegally stripped young men of their constitutional rights.

This goes hand in hand with them dropping the charges of the 2 New Black Panthers who brandish weapons and making threats to whites at the 2008 polling place in Philly.

I think you're right. These should come up for judges to decide. If these crimes are so harmful, then let someone pick up the banner and take it all the way to the Supreme Court.

Your post doesn' make any sense.

@raphjd:

Sounds like we have a closet SJW/feminist here.

Who are you talking about?

@raphjd:

JUST BELIEVE, despite Lacy Green never being thrown in prison for raping 4 million people

What is this about?

@raphjd:

Oddly, cteavin wants to wrongfully punish more people than feminists.    Feminists only want to punish 2% to 8% (their figure) of falsely accused, but cteavin wants to wrongfully execute 10%.

You're taking that out of context. As of now, neither you nor Fred have answered the question I put forth. I'll ask it again:

Will you prevent 99 guilty people from going to prison to save one person wrongly accused or will you falsely imprison one person so that 99 guilty people go to jail?

It's a serious question. US law is founded on the former but I support the latter.
