The troubles were almost entirely a secular conflict, their religions weren't a significant contributing factor. One side wanted a united Ireland, the other didn't, that was the main bone of contention.
What always bothered me about the balloon analogy was the implication that this expansion of space is mostly taking place where there's little actual matter, ie the space between galaxies. If it really was expanding like dots on a balloon, we'd see equivalent expansion within galaxies and as far as I'm aware we don't, at least not to any significant degree.
Actually the whole thing is bothersome, if a galaxy was x light years away at some point in the past and it's now 2x light years away due to space expanding, doesn't that mean space has been created between the galaxies, and doesn't that violate some fairly fundamental laws of physics?
Yeah but then again almost every fantasy novel ever written borrowed heavily from the trail blazed by The Lord of the Rings. Look at the wildly popular Malazan series, he openly looted from dozens of other works such as "Black Company" and yet he remains unsued, and don't get me started on Game of Thrones.
Does this criticism include calling them hateful racist misogynists, and/or are they professional entertainers of one sort or another? If not, then try comparing apples to apples for a change. And that's before we start looking at who exactly is doing most of the criticising, and certainly the most biting. If you guessed "women", you'd be correct!
The patriarchy made them do it, right?
But this is just more of the same old damned if you do, damned if you don't bullshit from feminists. Your cursed religion and its fellow travellers can't die soon enough for my liking.
And you lose in the first sentence. Patriarchy theory is as fundamental to feminism as Christ is to Christianity, you can't have one without the other.
Which is of course secondary to the actual issue, in that the correct answer to people criticising your psychotic associates is NOT to say "not all feminists are like that", but to demand stridently that the leadership/movement dissociate those nutballs post haste, and if they don't get the hell out yourself.
If you don't do that you absolutely deserve to be tarred with the same brush.
only speaks to how quickly you're ready to judge a group based on your own prejudices
Oh enough, if a woman wore that kind of clothing during the interview, even if it was a shirt covered in pictures of hunky men, the usual talking heads bobbing up and down showering her with praise would have to wrestle with the thirsty white knights to bray the most approval. You go girl, fight that patriarchy!
Bigotry of all sorts needs to be rooted out, especially the spreading boil that is feminism.
Likewise, I despise warm climates. Give me the ice and cold and snow! Mind you I prefer to be warm in those climates, but having the option is important. In Nordic countries many parents leave their babies outside in sub zero temperatures.

Hey as long as the wrestling includes badly rendered radioactive octopi I don't see that it's much different from standard SyFy offerings.
Or, you know, talking.
Perhaps those mysterious and very distant massive gamma ray bursts without the China syndrome chaser might be related?
Any word ending in "ion" is French. There's lots more where that came from.
If it's any comfort I imagine "freedom fries" have an entirely anglo etymology.
and one for you sir http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L...

What they need to do is start acting as an order portal for regular taxis.
That would just make them a taxi company.

Others have examined slightly larger sample sizes.
If it wasn't happening in French too they wouldn't be trying to control it now would they.
One of the key features of English is that it absorbs parts of other languages as it evolves.
Every language does this.
There's more French than German in the English language.
I believe we'll be looking at a more pidgin collection of other languages mixed in with English, with phrases borrowed from all over.
I'll believe you when George RR Martin gets sued.
Can't copyright an idea champ.
If she was dressed in a similar fashion to their interpretation, they might have had grounds to sue. Meanwhile.

There's more to the arts than music.
Or the people who take stories from public domain, adapt them for the movie screen, and then get to keep all the rights and money forever ?
The original stories are still in the public domain, there's nothing stopping you from adapting them yourself.
There really are only so many possible stories and plotlines.
No, there aren't. Music may be constrained by its medium but the imagination knows no such limitations.
I know I shouldn't say it but this is completely fucking awesome. We live in a cyberpunk future!

There isn't a single kind of feminism.

Don't even bother, cupcake.
Before we go and mark Anita for sainthood
Oh don't worry, there's no danger of her receiving any accolades from anyone who isn't a bigot.
