We have a guy who attacks a gay nightclub because of intolerance, and we have a religion that everyone accuses of being intolerant, and we have a terrorist group that doesn't tolerate anything that is different... And the solution is to be less tolerant?

I know we go over this stuff with alarming regularity, but the amount of intolerance that gets thrown around here is depressing. How does that solve any of these issues? And you can have a tolerant society that still expects newcomers to follow the letter of the law and make steps to embrace the culture they are joining. They are not mutually exclusive, quite the opposite. Lead by example.

Man, Odd Thomas is one of my favorite films. That is tragic.

How does that solve anything?

This is a pretty biased way to differentiate between the two religions. It also is fairly sloppy with the history. But most egregious of all is the ignoring all the things that have happened in the name of the two religions over the past centuries. Just because Christianity is in a time of stability does not mean we should just label it the good religion and Islam the bad one. And realistically, how does that do any good? Is Islam going to become stable because of that? Probably not.

Huh, can't say it doesn't chafe me a bit that they are disregarding all the TV stuff.

So what is your solution here?

I dig that bar design. Although I doubt the stools are comfortable.

I hope you did not bet on that. It is an even year.

Ugh, so hungover from that game.

Geez, that's nuts. I've put out an invite for a watch party for game 7. I hope I do not regret this.

Whoo, $900 for a ticket. Ouch. I've had a bit to drink, but not that much.

I'm cool with the Chargers winning, or the Padres during odd years. edit: Take comfort in your breweries.

Kerr just called out the officiating, nice. Watch party at my place. Free beer.

Okay. It may be the multiple IPA's talking, but I'm kinda finding it hard not to root for Cleveland and Lebron. I mean, this would be a huge moment for Cleveland. I just watched the 30 for 30 on them and they've had a rough road. Plus Lebron may have a couple rings, but this is really the only one that matters. Will he have a better chance than this? If he scores another 40 in game 7 and wins I am going to put him ahead of Jordan. I'm seriuz. It may be the beers talking. It is gettin hard to type so peace out. I love Curry and Green, but they've got another 5 years of prime to dominate.

The last two were weak. I'm really testing the limits of my kegerator tonight. edit: Bit surprised Mo Buckets didn't get in earlier.

Gotta give Lebron credit for the last two games as well. He has just been unreal. Kyrie was lights out in game 5, but Lebron has been shooting and defending at another level. It's amazing how he doesn't bite on the first move around the rim, he's got great patience. He deserves the Finals MVP win or lose at the end of game 7.

They keep chipping away, and then some ghastly turnover just kills them. Might be time to start game planning for number 7.

I snuck into Darkman as a young boy, and have been in love with the work of Sam Raimi ever since. When I discovered Evil Dead a few years later as a teenager, I remember thinking "of course this was the guy behind Darkman. It felt familiar.

How so?

And yet, he hasn't let that stop him from his commitment to deal with crime in Mexico. In interviews he claims that he has a newfound empathy for the victims of crime and has taken his message to Tijuana, another city in desperate need of reform.

Just try to look at things objectively, that's all. Do you really believe that? You took this quote: But cut out the rest of the paragraph: It's ok to be a pessimist, I'm not trying to change your nature. But you should be aware that you are not being objective. I'm clearly not being objective, I am focusing on the positives here. You are focusing on the negatives. Again, that is totally your right, but don't try and sell it as something else.

We have had a few good debates about Mexico and their war on the cartels. I found this article to be uplifting. http://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2016/06/juarez-mexico-border-city-drug-cartels-murder-revival/

Of course this has to do with radical ideology, I already stated as such. Try to keep up.
