Not the way I would have preferred for him to finally shut up, but the important thing is that he finally shut up.

Fred Phelps (1929 - 2014)

Well if we're talking stereo types we really should bring up the loss of control on the full moons, as well as the dark image that folklore and Hollywood have given them, along with them now being a sex symbol. Oh and that other one... Murder stereotype :D Those would probably be disproved before w...

That's only if you assume the werewolf is of an equal intelligence to the lion or bear. Which I don't. Ergo, a werewolf wouldn't necessarily need to be fast or strong to kill a lion or bear. All he'd really need is good timing and good aim. He wouldn't even need claws or fangs. A well-timed punch to...

99% of the crap the A.T. pushes, they know damn well is completely false but continue to push anyway in the pursuit of an agenda... Slight disagreement: Yes, 99% of the cr@p the Christian Coalition pushes is pure garbage. No, they don't know it. When dealing with religious whack-jobs (particularly ...

If Germany and Poland hit Gazprom with sanctions (which is entirely plausible should Putin just decide to snap up Crimea), then the entire Russian economy will collapse overnight. If that's true, that just makes me even more confident this won't result in war. Putin might have his head firmly wedge...

Well, if they do invade, there goes all of that goodwill that was generated towards them during the winter Olympics. If nothing else, I'm looking forward to seeing how all the American theocrats that have been having raging orgasms over his anti-gay policies will respond to that. Putin, meanwhile, ...

Pretty much everyone I know in Russia has already apologized for their leader's idiotic behavior (to which I usually respond that, since they put up with Bush, that makes us even). So I'm pretty confident that, if Putin does attempt to invade Ukraine or elsewhere, the same thing is going to happen t...

So we can agree that werewolfs would have to fight uphill battle with stereotypes and people that will push them out all the time.There is another problem, but this will be alittle offtopic, but besides stereotypes White supremacists, the American Taliban and others will also say they dont belong t...

It would also play into the "werewolves = half-canine" misconception. Which, granted, would certainly be preferable to the "bloodthirsty monster" image. Only real problem there is that indulging the former stereotype won't make the latter go away either. The fact that there are s...

Meh. I don't know, that whole "you're hiding something!" angle sounds really stupid for a Godzilla movie. Wasn't that already pointed out when Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen tried to use it? Maybe it's just me; I've never been a fan of "Armageddon porn" movies, but I really ...

First, consider who contributes the most to generating and perpetuating stereotypes: White supremacists and the American Taliban. With that in mind, the most commonly repeated slander against werewolves, I have no doubt, would be that they are devil-worshipers. The next, following the A.T.'s constan...

The problem is that I don't think Ted Cruz gives a flying crap what the Senate or House thinks of him. He's even sufficiently proven that he doesn't care what the entire country as a whole thinks of him. All Cruz wants to do is pander to the psychotic party-before-country anything-to-stick-it-to-Pre...

Holy cr@p! :o They passed the debt-ceiling (and practically nobody noticed). Maybe the Tea Party has finally thrown in the towel. More likely, the rest of Washington has figured out that 99.9% of their threats are empty. Like I noted earlier, a lot of Republicans who went along with the shutdown ho...

As i said earlier that dogs have weak color recognition, poor vision up close and excellent sensitivity to peripheral movement so i think WW should have something in between and i think he would be able to identify most things. That's still a pretty big difference. No, the werewolf wouldn't be blin...

Terastas: i have too dissagree there is no diffrent sensory organs just some of them are far more sensitive(hearing,smell) and it was said that human uses sight>hearing>smell, but wolf smell>hearing>sight so why would WW after changing wolf order of using sensory organs if hes human in mind. So to ...

That seems to be the general consensus--that you do not specifically lose your free will or sense of self, and no "alternate personality" takes over. But, the dramatic change in perception and sensory input overwhelms the mind, and the human subconscious and set of instincts are replaced ...

I'd have to disagree to an extent. I'm not inclined to pay much attention to what the polls are showing now . What's important is what the polls show at election time . I don't think that the government shutdown will be at the fore in the mind of the average American in a year. The American attenti...

I disagree with you about most of these Tea Party whackos (as in, their districts are so idiotically drawn, that Charles Manson could get himself elected if he mouthed off the right stuff regarding taxes) There's a limit to how much even hardline conservatives will tolerate from their party. Todd A...

Well, that was close. Looks like we're going to go through this again in January. Ugh. Probably another one, yes, but I doubt it will be exactly this again. They willfully caused the government shutdown, but for every one like Michele Bachmann , John Fleming or Ted Yoho who were celebrating the shu...

"Evolution" wouldn't necessarily be the proper term unless this was supposed to be taking place millions of years in the future. As others have already noted, it's a very slow process, and even an ultra-selective breeding program wouldn't be able to hasten the process enough for us to see ...

Stupid sumbitch Boehner can't even get his phony compromise to the floor anymore. Obama and the White House have already stated that they question the constitutionality behind it, but I have a feeling Section 4 of Amendment 14 is going to get invoked to raise the debt limit. The constitutionality of...

Twenty Republicans congressmen have already signaled, publicly, that they would support the "clean" spending bill. Which, along with the two hundred Democrats in the House, gives the bill enough votes to pass. So the only holdout is John Boehner, who is evidently so terrified of losing his...

And that's another reason I'd just as soon use it. Maybe I'm just weird, but I think I'd prefer it if my impending doom felt like something I did to deserve.

Getting in a snit with the Russians over a few hundred thousand dead Syrians is something that likely makes little sense to them. Thus, I don't see them doing anything more than token gestures even with American involvement. What about the million-odd refugees that keep pouring over their border? T...
