"You must reverse your statement on this, the one you so shamefully put out there without examining the evidence.
The boys are the victims here, and the professionally aggrieved "indian" played you and the leftist press for fools. The boy whose face became the emblem of this incident should be given an award for doing just what Jesus told us all to do in the face of adversity. He faced the hate-filled aggressor with both cheeks forward.
Make this right, issue a public statement, pressure the Covington mayor to do the same, and correct the positions you so wrongly took.
Apologize."

Happy MLK Day, everyone!
(No , I don't want to hear how he was an adulterer or whatever. That is not the point.)
I am grateful for those who fought so that I and people like me can be free in this country and have equal rights. No matter where I go in the US, I am free to do anything a white person can do. I am able to live here, be accepted, and flourish. It was not always so for people like me.
I am grateful because they helped America become this welcoming country where all are allowed to pursue their dreams.
Which is why the attempt by some to create racial and other divisions among people today in the Orwellian name of tolerance is so disgusting and distressing.
I still hope that most people will reject the division and get back to trying to achieve MLK's dream.

A few, literally, around here have heard it in it's entirety.
For the rest, a verse and a chorus.
There are troubled times, fueled by fear and doubt
Crazy lives, turned inside out
The news I watch, on my tv
Take me back to nineteen sixty three
Martin Luther, died for change
Some prayers answered, some remain
Well I don't know much, but I do know this
We won't change this world eithe harsh words and fists
One man had a dream, let that be enough
Receive God's gift, the greatest love
Strength to kneel, faith to stand
Chance to heal
To become
One
God bless, have a good day, and rare I say
Love each other fellow babies

Remember when you publicly respected old people when you were young, even if you made some inconsiderate comments and jokes about them in private? The left openly mocks old white Americans and gleefully talks about them dying off. They will be going after toddlers of conservatives soon. If they haven't already.

The vendors sell both Obama and MAGA hats and MAGA hats are more popular.
The fumcking media is now trying to create a controversy about these hats just like the Confederaqte statues.
You know why?
Because in 2020 people will be wearing MAGA hats and they need to transform it into a symbol of hatred.
They want to criminalize Trump's campaign and justify violence against its supporters.

My theory is that Martin never expected the books to be so popular and his plan all along was a giant "GOTCHA!" where everyone dies in the end.
He liked the way people reacted to crazy plot twists and the easy way he whacked popular and sympathetic characters and he's said that the death of Gandalf really shocked him and he wanted to do something like it.
But now his creation is Big Business and an Intellectual Property with Licensing and Movie Rights and he can't have his little "PSYCHE!" ending, so he doesn't know what to do. HBO is standing over his shoulder saying "if you screw this up like The Matrix was, Vito and Sergey will kill you very, very slowly. You'll be a real-life Flayed Man."
So he's stuck. He wants to pull one final joke on his readers but can't and I also think he's figured out that doing that would be stupid. So he does nothing and lets HBO sort it out.

Did he never deal with rude people before? It never made sense even in the distorted version. Again, why would a Seasoned Warrior doe the whole "cries at trash" routine because of some loutish behavior on the street?

Say what?
From the beginning of Selective Service (SS) (I'm not sure when that was it was the registration of those of age (1
for military service.Even NOW there's a form of it where anyone turning 18 has to notify the SS who they are and where they live and their Social Security number.
In fact the SS registration was the major driving force for the anti-vietnam marches and protests. The draft was on going for years before that as they wanted to keep the service numbers up during the cold war. The draftees only served 2 years.
The college kids didn't want their career path destroyed by being drafted. Forget all the anti war stuff. The real reason was they didn't want to serve. Period.
How can someone not know this? No offense.

In fact the SS registration was the major driving force for the anti-vietnam marches and protests. The draft was on going for years before that as they wanted to keep the service numbers up during the cold war. The draftees only served 2 years.
The college kids didn't want their career path destroyed by being drafted. Forget all the anti war stuff. The real reason was they didn't want to serve. Period.
Posted by: jakee308 at January 21, 2019 10:28 AM (PGk6x)
Which is why the antiwar protests virtually ceased the day after the draft was ended.

The problem is that he's built so much over the last 30 years or so that actually getting to that point doesn't involve as much of his creation as he believed. There's a ton of fat to get through to the actual meat of the story, but by this point there's no real getting around all the fat.

It's Wars of the Roses taken to 11 with ice zombies filling in for the Scots.
And lots of perversity. So much perversity.
I think it's popular because the actors are great. I can't watch it for long, but there are some great performances. In this respect, I think it's lik "From Here to Eternity" where the book simply can't match the peerless acting of the cast.
I don't know how Martin could write characters that had the stage presence of the actors. In fact, I think the showrunners admitted to making deviations precisely *because* the actors were far more likeable than the actual characters in the book.

The core is really around the idea of power. It's corrupting influences, the cycles that run around it, it's ephemeral nature.
The story is, at its center, an exploration of this theme.

It's Wars of the Roses taken to 11 with ice zombies filling in for the Scots.
And lots of perversity. So much perversity.
I think it's popular because the actors are great. I can't watch it for long, but there are some great performances. In this respect, I think it's lik "From Here to Eternity" where the book simply can't match the peerless acting of the cast.
I don't know how Martin could write characters that had the stage presence of the actors. In fact, I think the showrunners admitted to making deviations precisely *because* the actors were far more likeable than the actual characters in the book.
Posted by: A.H. Lloyd at January 21, 2019 10:52 AM (cfSRQ)
Some of the actors have elevated their characters. Charles Dance knocked it out of the PARK. Same with Stephen Dilliance with his performance of the One True King, Stannis.
Other performances suffered quite a bit and the book depictions are better. Sand snakes come to mind.
GRRM can write characters. I won't take that from him. He might be the modern master of Point of View and that includes literary fiction. What the man can do with words deserves respect. What doesn't deserve respect is his failure of ideas. Game of Thrones isn't ABOUT anything. It's nihilism under the skin of a Fantasy story. It's a better version of the genre murder Michael Moorcock perpetrated back in the 60's.

I don't think it's obvious to him, or he'd be finished by now.
Back when I cared about such things, I followed some of the discussions and he struck me as a guy who really liked to fake out his readers and he got upset when people began applyling classic critical tools like foreshadowing to predict what would happen next.
He wants a surprise ending, but his plot's too elaborate for that, so he does nothing and lets HBO figure it out.

Tyrion is an odd literary cat. He is, as per Martin, the VILLAIN of the piece. But his path to being that evil, conniving advisory was fraught and filled with pathos. Plus the character is at least partially an author insert, so the character drifted a bit. (Martin has a real problem with pacing and editing things down).
But what we see in the books so far was Tyrion as a scion of a corrupt, ambitious house. But when given power and authority, did Justice. But that justice was not rewarded, instead he was cast out, humiliated and his love was twisted and betrayed. Then he murders his father, turns all emo and unlikable.
The heights of literary craft and the depths of wanking fuckery are both on display in the person of Tyrion.

I saw a report a while ago that things are in fact moving forward with North Korea but the NPC media won't report it.
In order to facilitate trade, South Korea got to put its engineers on North Korean trains and examine the rail lines. They're in terrible shape and will need major improvements, which the South will of course do.
The key thing here is mapping out someone's rail grid is really invasive and provides close-up intel we'd otherwise never get. It seems like this is a test run for the nuke inspections.

The frustrating thing is, there are parallel universes where it could have been good. The plot is utter crap. But there are One off bits in the script, like the house shown in the beginning, and the mention of the main scientist with a ghost relative, I was hoping would build and go somewhere. That maybe her ghost relative and other ghosts would help fight the baddie. But no, it is shoot the stream into ghost crotch. Because wahmen powerrrrr. Sigh.
And what they did with the cameos of the original cast was a crime against film. Have some respect for your franchise. Hoping the new ghostbusters 3 behaves more like the new Spider-Man animated film, a loving tribute that ends up being fun in its own right.
