    Disney ‘Star Wars’ Box-Office Profits Fail To Cover Cost Of Buying Lucasfilm

    Disney does seem to have forgotten how to make movies. They bought the two Lucas franchises, but I don't think anything they've done since the original trilogy & Raiders has been the popular successes they were hoping for. So you can buy/rent intellectual property, but you can't turn on/off...

    Donald Trump is selling $60 Bibles as he seeks funds for for campaign, legal bills

    Only sixty dollars? I would have thought that the price of silver had gone up during the millennia. After all, @ only $2.00/piece (doing the math), that means that Judas only got $60.00 total? Or has Trump actually found a solution to inflation? Now that would be a miracle!

    Trump's selling Bibles is probably legal, but hardly tender ...

    RNC will be paying Trump's legal bills

    Excellent! As soon as Trump goes over the political cliff, the tattered remnants of the GOP can follow him. Then we can get down to the serious business of reconstituting a US politically conservative party to serve as a counterweight to the Democratic Party. The DP also needs a loyal...

    Here Is A Proposal For Men Being Involved In The Abortion Debate

    Gordy327 said: How exactly does abortion affect you or society? Someone having an abortion has absolutely zero effect on me or society. (Gordy327's comment comes before stealthycat's - sorry.) But of course, M. Sanger was absolutely opposed to abortion. Her advice to pregnant women who did...

    Putin and Trump are soulmates.

    KGB Lt. Col. Putin is the real deal, someone who would willingly (eagerly?) murder for reasons of state. The real question in the comparison - Trump doesn't seem to like wetwork - recall his revulsion @ having a paraplegic veteran in a wheelchair present @ a welcome ceremony of Gen. Mark Milley...

    Putin and Trump are soulmates.

    Yes! The thread title assumes that both Putin & Trump have souls. Given their respective histories & reputations - such as they are - that assumption may not bear up to close examination.

    Altered Carbon

    I'll have to track down the source novel, the Netflix series, & the anime. (Thanks for the note, I wasn't aware of the author nor show.) As to the question, see the life & grotesque end of St. Alia of the Knife in the Dune series of novels. (It was also covered in the 2nd Dune series - out of...

    [W:154] Popular Evolution, Unpopular Creation...Why?

    The Big Bang theory offers a lot of points of attack for investigation. The proposed sequence of events leaves traces that can be investigated: 1. Residual electromagnetic traces from the beginning, 2. Older stars are chemically simpler than newer stars, 3. Older stars are moving away from...

    Meme falsely claims dinosaurs were only invented to prove evolution is real. There is no ‘dinohoax’

    My point is that the phrasing - caused intentionally, by natural causes or by accident - is unfortunate. It seems to conflate natural causes & by accident with intentionally. I was dissecting the sentence, in order to show that intent can't be ascribed to natural causes. My apologies if I'm...

    Meme falsely claims dinosaurs were only invented to prove evolution is real. There is no ‘dinohoax’

    Intention & natural causes don't go together. If intention is someone's will - someone chooses to do this or that - it requires that choice in order to be intentional. Natural causes can be physics or chemistry or anything else, but not someone's will.

    Meme falsely claims dinosaurs were only invented to prove evolution is real. There is no ‘dinohoax’

    A corpse is evidence of death, certainly. Not of intent, if the cause was natural - age, disease, starvation, dehydration, etc. We know by experience what causes a corpse in everyday life. TMK, humanity only has experience of the actual universe we live in - we don't know anything detailed...

    [W:154] Popular Evolution, Unpopular Creation...Why?

    Gasoline is refined from oil - although we can do something similar to coal & natural gas (I think natgas is easier to work with for that process). Synthetic fuels are relatively recent - WWII in Germany spurred that on, as the military needed some kind of fuel in order to function. Added cost...

    [W:154] Popular Evolution, Unpopular Creation...Why?

    I like the parody. However, TMK, oil & natural gas are products of heat & pressure on vegetable matter over very long periods of time. (Per Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossil_fuel - oil & natural gas are hydrocarbons - the carbon due to photosynthesis. & gasoline is refined from...

    [W:154] Popular Evolution, Unpopular Creation...Why?

    Yah, don't see any of Vance Ferrell's apparently massive amount of publications @ our public library. Surprising, it's a good little library. That will just slow me down a bit, I'll have to scan the Internet offerings by him.
