Not a single one of those, not even the first that began the cliché, would have existed under communism.

One can hardly live in rebellion, and I want to live!

The graffiti is factually wrong.

A Catholic believes in apostolic succession. It's arrogance to expect to "know better".

While dogma doesn't change, many Church practices do with the times. The Second Ecumenical Council of the Vatican is valid and rejecting it is heresy.

That's what you say. I've never encountered a Catholic cemetery that would refuse the dead of other religions. I doubt they exist.

women don't mentally mature past 14 or so.

You don't know many women.

It's no big deal to bury a Muslim sideways. It's not sinful to do so.

You think? Watch him lose his career over this.

Farming is lucrative at large scale. The people they want to kill are successful.

Shakespeare is poetry, not theology.

just tacking on another tax isn't going to achieve much of anything.

If it's a vacancy tax, renting it out becomes the rational choice, which would lower rent prices when everyone does it. Perhaps that would also affect property prices on a longer term. I think it could work, if it's done right.

I wanna watch Dune 2.

I prefer Midnight's Edge's take.

How do you go to sleep with a dead person in your cooler? I'd be freaking out, feeling the pressure to get rid of the evidence before things get worse. And to do that for months? Imagine the anxiety.

Sure, sure. I'm just saying that something like that is expected. Politicians aren't going to fall from grace over donations, obviously. This doesn't mean, necessarily, that Friedman is being protected. But people should keep up with the story as it develops instead of UFO nonsense.

For sure.

He wasn't bragging. He was lamenting his self-control failure and his cheeks.

It's only the campaign finance charges that were dropped. That much shouldn't be a surprise. He's still on the hook for fraud and whatever else.

Did any of them say they'll watch?

Thank God! It's just the costume that was $16,000. No surgeries involved.

You don't think the movie can stand on its own?

I'm both Peruvian and Catholic. It is possible, I swear it.

Don't know what you're talking about, although one can be both German and Jewish.

My point is that nobody hated Oppenheimer prior to this movie, he was already thought of as a tragic guy, so it makes no sense that the film's purpose was to rehabilitate his image. His popular image didn't need rehabilitation.

My guess is that Nolan wanted to make a biopic with a known name of whom not much is known, and fell in love with the idea of filming a practical effect that looked like a nuclear explosion.

rehabilitate Oppenheimer's image

Who cares about that? Nobody thought of him before the movie. His popular image was as some tragic man who was sad about what he had made.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I have seen a short documentary about him because of it, and I've seen him clearly say that Hiroshima/Nagasaki was more force than he would have chosen, although he does not regret making the bomb since it was necessary to beat the other powers to it.

Must everything have some clinical name?
