Unseen

One thing I forgot to mention about Alien is that was the first and remains one of the few space ship stories where the craft looks lived in and industrial with many scenes shot in cave-like low light. Compare with the well-lit spaceships in Star Wars and especially Star Trek.

@ Islamophobes

How many actual Muslims have you known in your life, or were you too fearful to even let that happen? I’ve met Muslims in college, worked along side some, and received medical treatment from more than one, I’m sure. None of them tried to kill me.

Yeah, I’m sure it’s a daily occurrence there in Limeyland. Meanwhile, here in the First World’s capital of mass murders, a MAGA Republican beheaded his daddy right here in ‘Merika recently for failing to show obeisance to The Orange…[Read more]

YOU (I think you know who you are) may be islamophobic and not even know it. Or you may know you’re islamophobic and believe your phobia is justified. (Just because you’re paranoid, it doesn’t follow that your paranoia isn’t about something real.)

Clearly, Eleanor…[Read more]

@ Jake

When you say negative things about Islam and implicitly include any member of the faith that is a broad brush and an expression of Islamophobia.

It shows how retarded the progressives are sucking up to Islam. Instead of attacking ideas and showing how meretricious, fictitious and destructive it is you get called out for Islamophobia.

Alabama’s I.V.F. ruling shows our slide toward Theocracy. To those advancing these ideas, the will of God counts more than the will of the American people, even when Americans object or disagree.

We don’t have an official religion on the Federal level, but this shows it’s possible to have one on the state level, or a…[Read more]

Fellow Unbelievers, A good-sized sum of all fertilized eggs end up flushed down the toilet naturally and completely without a woman’s knowledge.

How can there be a murder charge when there is no body? A frozen embryo is about 120 microns in size. Ten of them in a row would be about a tenth of one millimeter in length.
