  5. Depends on Spiderman's Politically Correct Replacement · · Score: 2

    They would say yes in the US, no if in Mexico.

    Would a pre-Zionism Ashkenazi and a pre-Zionism Falasha think of themselves as the same race? What if their descendents are serving side-by-side in the same Tsahal outpost?

  9. Soviet background on LotR Rewritten From a Mordor Perspective · · Score: 1

    Tolkien abhorred of political interpretations of his work, but you can read in Yeskov some justification of the Soviet civilization (or maybe the Central Asian version of it) versus the West.

  10. Copyright on LotR Rewritten From a Mordor Perspective · · Score: 1

    Tell me again, how exactly copyright encourages creation of new works?

    Tolkien worked from public-domain works and added a lot. According to copyright theory, copyright encourages authors to do that. Otherwise, we would have to read the original Beowulf or Kalevala instead of Tolkien's works. Thanks to copyright, Tolkien was encouraged to publish his work.
    Actually, probably Tolkien would have created his work anyway. He wrote Christmas stories for children and did a lot of background work that was not published in his lifetime. But it can be argued that the existence of Allen & Unwin encouraged him to actually publish.

    As for Yeskov, it is a derivative. I don't know how he was able to be published in Spanish and other languages.

  16. iPhone on 1928 Time Traveler Caught On Film? · · Score: 1

    I see two of the fingers around what would be the 'top' of the phone which is uncharacteristically how people hold cell phones.

  18. Soul food on Pope's Astronomer Would Love To Baptize an Alien · · Score: 1

  19. Baptizing on Pope's Astronomer Would Love To Baptize an Alien · · Score: 2, Informative

  20. Die Another Day (SPOILER) on Rupert Murdoch Publishes North Korean Flash Games · · Score: 1

    In James Bond's film "Die Another Day", the villain is a media mogul that is actually a North Korean hidden agent.

  21. Votes for all on Facebook Post Juror Gets Fined, Removed, Assigned Homework · · Score: 1

    One of the reasons is that those that will be punished, taxed, organized, benefitted have to have a say in the process. The Enlightenment slogan "All for the people but without the people" often ends not being for the people and even if it is, it may not get the support of the people. If you have a say (or even think that you have a say), it is more probable that you accept the outcome even if it does not follow your wishes.

  25. What would Zamyatin think? on 60-Year-Old Glass Technology Finds Its Market · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yevgeny Zamyatin's "We":

    We is set in the future. D-503 lives in the One State,[3] an urban nation constructed almost entirely of glass, which allows the secret police/spies to inform on and supervise the public more easily. The structure of the state is analogous to the prison design concept developed by Jeremy Bentham commonly referred to as the Panopticon.
