When you reveal yourself to be a bigoted, hateful person, most evolved and compassionate people tend to dislike you.

‘Christmas Shoes’. Google it.

I will stay my Hammer of Vengeance just this once…and agree that he is a very accomplished and talented actor…who just happens to be Gandalf, not Ian McKellan. ;)

While he did a decent job with Magneto, I would say that his Gandalf is far more recognized.

True, but I would argue that none are as widely recognized as Gandalf.

Why do you think the fascists try so hard to keep them divided and fighting each other?

Screaming into my boss’ face during a heated and un-warranted argument that my co-worker initiated. In all honesty, my boss was in the right in this particular instance. Co-worker never did apologize, to my knowledge. All I can say is my boss has a lot of patience…

Read what she said. She’s not telling anyone to get violent. She’s saying they should be joining the peaceful resistance movement. But of course, the ones we’re peacefully resisting are going to spin it as encouraging violence - while they kidnap, assault and abuse innocent civilians.

I don’t have a problem with women writing fantasy books. I just wish the fantasy market wasn’t glutted with ‘romantasy’ novels. I really, really dislike those.

Mostly just that I value their opinions on current events, and I admire their work. :)

Came here to say exactly this. Capitalism breeds consumerism - and consumerism destroys everything.

If I can find three reputable sources that say the same thing, I feel pretty confident in accepting it as fact. The real trick is finding reputable sources. Media Bias Fact Check is really helpful for this.

The rich.

So true, it burns. >_<

I always find it hilarious that all of these anti-Firefox articles and posts always seem to point people toward Chrome, in the end. It’s almost as if there’s a concerted effort by a mega-corporation that specializes in spyware to trick people into using their products by artificially seeding social networks with pro-Google sentiments. So strange…
