I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that white male Asian woman is the most popular interracial marriage. Hell, we have at least three here at the geek club, although I can't remember who the third one is besides me and volty. And as I recall, volty did also have the white man black woman marriage too.

Figured maybe you had an Arabic auchwitz thing in mind. My bad.

So just maniacal dreams of world conquest and a eugenics program? No death camps?

So... This guy is basically hitler? Is this what we've got going now?

I was fine until tonight. Seriously. This ending was stupid and pissed me off.

They should have figured it out when I did... about 24 hours after Donald Focking Trump won the Presidency. If that isn't a gigantic c0ck slapping you in the focking face, I don't know what is. The Republicans figured it out when Obama won. They shut their crazy elements up by and large and moved somewhat to the center. The Dems aren't bright enough. They still think a blue wave is going to sweep some focking socialist into the white house and begin handing out slave reparations.

The entire final season was a rushed clusterfock. 1 episode for the battle with the dead. 1 episode for the battle for the Throne. And then they set up the Republic in about five focking minutes, even though about half the people in the room weren't lords of a damn thing. Focking dumb. I honestly wish I hadnt watched the last episode. This may be worse than the sopranos ending. Can't wait to see how HBO finally gets around to sh!tting on deadwood this summer.

Breaking it back into 7 independent kingdoms at least would have made a lick of sense. The way they did it was dumb. And also, rushed as fock. As per usual.

This. That ending was focking stupid. So Bran is the king... of a kingdom his house is no longer even in. The Jeffersonian Republic of the Six Kingdoms of Westeros. Ghey. And the Dornish, who's words "Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken" signifies their pride that they were the only kingdom never conquered... Who called their leader Prince rather than Lord for millenia, watched the North walk out of the kingdom, and said "fock it, we'll stay." And the Ironborn, who have rebelled many times, also decided to stay. Nobody had a problem with a guy in chains for treason handing Lordship of the Reach over to a gutterborn mercenary, making him the richest guy in the whole damn country. Oh, and a former smuggler, a guy who was a bastard blacksmith two weeks ago, and a freak show tranny knight... they all get votes for king. Ok. sure. Arya goes off to play pirate ninja. Fock you George R.R. Martin. This is what happens when you are a lazy fock and let hack screenwriters finish your story. I hope you never write another word until the day you die.

I don't even know what to think anymore. I mean, political debates I read about in the States these days just literally don't make any focking sense to me. It seems like both sides have left sense behind a long time ago (the left moreso than the right, to be fair) and are just yelling ideological nonsense at each other now. The entire notion of sanctuary cities is nonsensical. What Trump SHOULD do is federalize the jails in those cities, put ICE agents in there, and deport the lot of them. This "policy" of shunting aliens to the sanctuary cities? Its freaking insane, but then, so is the existence of such things, so WTF. I will say, again, I don't like having an internet troll for a President, but damn if the left doesn't beg for it.

That would work for me. 20 weeks is well long enough to notice you are pregnant and do it if you're gonna. I would also be totally on board with making said abortion free of charge. Pay a nickel now or a dollar later. If a girl doesn't have an abortion because she can't pay, we will end up paying for her prenatal care, delivery, and a host of other services for the next 18 years. Not to mention that kids eventual unwanted spawn.

Try to be open minded. Recognize the fact that our personal experience right here and now is not universal. Try to remember the way we felt about things when we were younger, and why. My general rule of thumb when talking about the legality of a thing is... Does this affect a third party in any way? If the answer is no, (gay marriage) it should be legal. I feel we have allowed the government to forbid things they had no business being involved in. Weed is a good example. Why should it have ever been outlawed? Abortion is a tricky one. With that one, I come down on the pro choice side, mainly because you aren't going to successfully outlaw it, you will only outlaw it for those who can't afford to go where it is legal. And the social damage of forbidding abortion is very high in terms of increased social program costs, crime, etc. Now obviously this is much easier of a call (to me anyway) when we are talking about a barely formed zygote two weeks into a pregnancy, as opposed to a viable baby two weeks from being born. The former should absolutely be legal. The latter should not, absent a health of the mother type issue. The extremists on both sides are annoying and stupid and should pound sand. Where is the line exactly? I don't know. I'd be comfortable with first trimester being legal, then banned absent unusual circumstances. If you haven't noticed that you haven't had a period in 90 days, that's pretty much on you.

There is some truth to that. But most of our generation (mid to late 30s through mid 40s) would say the best music was long before they were born. Then the music of our youth. Then the crap now.

Yeah. And it's easy to have hard line opinions about things you never have or no longer want or may need to do. Homosexuality is an easy example. Abortion is another. A guy in his 50s, or married with a vasectomy, has a much easier time making a black and white call on abortion. When it's you're life on the line, it's amazing how much gray there is. For the record, I had a 19 year old girlfriend 3 years ago think she was pregnant. We had no language in common. She wasn't, but if she had, it would have been abortion time, and not her first. I had my vasectomy right after that incident.

It is noteworthy that if you look at Ticketmaster, a very large portion of the shows are nostalgia acts from decades past.
