Being somewhat of an anarchist, I don't have any wings.

They could do something useful for once and release see-through-girls-clothes x-ray glasses. Then maybe I would support that.
I remember seeing ads for those in comics when I was young. (Bottom left corner of image.)  |

Why are the banker dying? Does anyone really care. Bankers are not exactly the type of people to draw sympathy.
Murder is wrong, yes. How many poor people die as a direct result of big banks?
Indeed. It's just unfortunate that it's not the ones at the top, who are truly responsible, that are dying. Most likely this is the result of them tying up loose ends. |

This is a total violation of human rights, the fact that you wish someone dead for drugs, disgusting.....
Sure it sounds harsh from a strictly academic point of view, but you may think differently if some drug dealer was trying to get your kids hooked on crack or heroin. |

I would think any state law that makes it illegal to provide assistance to a federal agency would immediately be overturned. I'm in favor of stopping the NSA, but I also recognize that federal law trumps state, and all the federal officials who matter continue to justify the NSA programs as legal, even if a large portion of the population disagrees. I don't see how initiatives like this can possibly succeed.
Of course these initiatives are futile. It's all just a game. The world is a stage. In the end nothing will change, but 'they' can say, "Hey, at least we tried." and the sheeple are appeased. |

What is stopping you from becoming the CEO of your own business right now and growing it to multi-million dollar status?
In a word? Conscience. |

Or I might go to the distant future where money is obsolete, immortality is invented, etc.
As stated in the movie Transcendence, in the future everything will exist only to serve the Singularity. If there is anything left of humanity whatsoever, perhaps it will be more like something resembling the Borg in the Star Trek universe. |

I can see how the 100k would cover a proper live burial.
Interesting. So, do you hire someone/corporation and have tubes installed for the delivery food and water and to remove waste for the rest of your life? Sounds terribly uncomfortable. Can you even stream Netflix on your iPhone from 6ft underground? I think I'd rather die, than live out the rest of my life buried in a coffin.  |

All of Iron Maiden's album covers were cool, original works of art. I like how Eddie remained a consistent theme throughout the years and evolved over time.  |

Today I felt like having a Mocha, so I just added chocolate powder to my coffee.  |

What strikes me is that the discussion is that Benedict said 'coloured' when he meant 'black', but he addressed the white dominance in brittish film, but not all minorities that are dominated by the white movie industrie are black, why should people be offended when called coloured when being called black is ok?
Actually, people who consider themselves to be politically correct will argue that people with black skin are African American not 'black'. I don't agree, since clearly not all people with black skin are from America or Africa. Political correctness has gotten way out of hand if you ask me. There are far too many SJW in internet land. I don't identify people by their color normally, but if I were to trying identify one white guy amongst a group of "colored people" I would most likely say, "the white guy". Naturally if he were among other white people I'd try to find some other unique attribute and call him carrot top or neckbeard or "the dude in the pink shirt" instead. lol Interestingly enough, I have never used or even heard anyone else use the term 'yellow guy' when referring to an Asian fellow or 'red man' when talking about a Native American Indian. Only recently have I heard 'brown' being used to identify East Indians, but usually it's been by other Indians. Anyway, I don't see any harm in using colors to identify people (whose ethnicity eludes you) as long as you remain respectful. |

I visited Beijing a few years ago and it was indeed kind of bad. My wife is heading there in a couple weeks. I'll ask her what it's like then.
BTW, that picture of a grey sky is "not bad" for an overcast/foggy day, but pretty bad for a sunny day with a "clear sky".

It's not my intention to offend anyone or start a race war, but the recent Cumberbatch incident raises an interesting philosophical question. Typically "people of color" refers to people with black skin, but why is this? Aren't brown, red and yellow colors too? Black is actually the absence of color, while white is the presence of all colors. If so, then the term "people of color" is really most accurately applicable to white people and/or pretty much everyone except for black people. Perhaps it's time we corrected this historical mistake and started calling black people 'non-colored' and everyone else 'colored'. This would actually be a terrible idea, since it would once again ostracize black people. Anyway, I wasn't actually going anywhere with this. Just food for thought. |

I don't play games much anymore, but I still play Tribes:Ascend once in a while and I also just got back into playing Starbound, the "unstable" beta version. Haven't played SAMP in ages.

What seems to be the norm these days, like what happened with Watch Dogs, Batman:AK, Assassin's Creed Unity, Far Cry 4, etc., I'm guessing they've been busy downgrading the graphics and such so that the PC version doesn't blow away the consoles.
