Because Superman and Wonder Woman aren't real. Tupac and Britteny, despite all their flaws, have actual real talent that weren't given to them by a comic book artist. Britteny can actually sing a tune (sure, she can't sing it well, and she's sometime...  [Read More]

Being a comic book fan and watching the "Superman: Doomsday" movie for the nth time, the line "It's easy to lose sight of your ideals in world without Superman." got me wondering. We see the effects of negative role models every...  [Read More]

I did not talk about burned to coal. Also, in a bush/woodfire not all animals die due to direct contact with fire. The heat can be high enough to cook/roast flesh in case some animal tries to hide where ever but with semi-optimal success. For instanc...  [Read More]

Or by simply imitating things from their environment. Most probably the idea for cooked food came with animals that found their end in bushfires. Have you ever smelled charred flesh? It's one of the nastiest things you'll ever smell. While it's pos...  [Read More]

@ Web Rider - Has this topic already been touched on before? If so... could you give me the link to that other topic (if one exists). Or are you implying that it's not worth discussing? No trying to be agressive or anything... just wondering. :) Yes...  [Read More]

In all honesty, the Taser maybe the “god sent” police consider it to be, but that does not explain the deaths. To me “non-lethal” means no one is going to die from its use. Maybe they should change the name to 98% non-lethal. Either there is...  [Read More]

The look on Kerry's face was fairly bewildered at this point. I'm suprised after all the botox Kerry can exress that much emotion. You could always do the classic karate-chop on the neck to knock somebody out, that seemed to work for Sulu....  [Read More]

When this first broke, I was under the impression that a Taser Gun was a painful yet safe way to subdue someone. However, after reading further I have discovered that people actually have died after being tasered. That being the case, I believe the p...  [Read More]

I'm not ruling out the possibility that this kid might be an absolute jerk, I know that. But I'm focusing on what the police did, which was way out of line. Tasering him 10 times might be out of line, once is not so bad. A little overreaction? Sure,...  [Read More]

However, in light of the fact the kid is known for pushing the envelope, I am inclined to believe that this was just his latest endeavor to wake people up. If his intention was to show that we truly don't have as free a speech as we think we do, he d...  [Read More]
