Christian pop music is a pretty bizarre phenomenon, which apparently is pretty big in the US for obvious reasons.

To be fair the mosaic in the OP is not connected to the epitaphs quoted. The mosaic functions basically like a sign on the gate announcing the place is guarded by watchdogs does today. Chaindogs mostly did not lead very enviable lives, and were probably not considered such a member of the family as the epitaphs convey.

It is an unfortunate fact that even though we have these rare pieces of evidence of human empathy and bonding with animals, the lot of the majority of animals falling into the hands of humans throughout history has not be very good.

The Odyssey is not the oldest surviving literature by far. We have much older Mesopotamian and Egyptian literature for example.

But it is indeed old.

There is a difference between being in touch with your ancestry to claiming you are literally a nationality which you aren’t. Americans always say “I’m Irish, Italian etc. etc.” and proceeds to be the ultimate arbiter of what is real Irish, Italian etc., when in reality they had some great-grandparents in of their family tree branches who may have been of that nationality.

By all means be interested in your ancestry, study the archives, learn about your distant family, but it does not suddenly make you Irish, Italian etc., you are American.

What the fuck do you think happens to their kids?

Not get hate? Why is this so difficult for you to grasp?

More morally right to never indulge in any Harry Potter media at all. Don’t reinforce the hype by watching that crap, even if by piracy.

That’s not the point. The Republicans are not doing this to save money. They are doing this for ideological reasons, namely that domestic violence is fine and there shouldn’t be any domestic violence shelters, because women should be subjugated to their husbands no matter what.

No, it is not better. It is equally as bad. Stop with the moronic “they are opposing my enemy so they must be my hero” nonsense. It makes you as bad as them.

Oh so only a little genocidal murder is perfectly fine, because there are others who did far more genocidal murder? Do you even listen to yourself how incredibly stupid your argument is?

This is not a zero sum game, you can oppose both, just because you want to oppose one more doesn’t mean that the other one is someone to cheer for.

The OP is literally talking about cheering Iran. So it is definitely about single issues for a lot of people.

In my case it was Ashens.

Considering reality do you blame them? This is hardly satire, just sarcastic pointing out (US) reality.

Looks boiled, not raw. Still, it shouldn’t be boiled.

Tankies unable to fathom that you can be critical of both fascism and the authoritarian state capitalism which is China.
