Irish Brothers take a vigilante justice approach. Willem Dafoe is the detective pursuing them. Violence throughout, a touch of nudity for comedic purposes, overall a very enjoyable cult film.

They made a second one which isn’t a terrible movie, but it missed the mark a bit and fell short of the first one, so that was disappointing.

Been too long since I’ve watched this movie. Time for another go!

I appreciate this rational take. As a Christian, I disagree with the “persecuted Christianity” narrative that the Roman Catholic Church aggressively pushes. Just like the above commenter is likely focusing on the vocal minority and ignoring everything else, I think the Catholic Church is focusing on the vocal minority and pushing this narrative for their own gain. And statements like the above commenter serve to reinforce that.

Don’t equate your limited geographical experience to a far reaching universal trend. Could be a vocal minority, could be just your region, could be recency bias.

Eggs are $4/dozen in my large city. Where the high COL is this?

I read through most of the executive orders, and while I admittedly skimmed a lot, I didn’t notice these kinds of things. Can we get some examples?

you…like…Hitler

So you’re saying that you like Hitler? Holy cow, get a load of this guy!

Everyone, get in here and rally against this person!

This, in addition to the other comment calling it a scammer cleared it up for me. I initially read it as “doing yogas…”. Guess I’m out of touch.

Can someone explain this to me? I don’t get it.

I was wondering how in the hell they got IRB approval for a placebo of “I’ll just cut on you but not do surgery”. Saw it was 2002, but still was surprised. Then I saw it came from VA in Texas, and all questions were answered.

I do. I extend it beyond medicines as well. Corporations have spent lots of money for their brands to be household names. They don’t control my language.

Specifically to medicine, I will note that the generic name actually carries information that the brand name does nothing for. Lisinopril and enalopril are the same medication class, act similar. Amlodipine, nimodipine, nicardipene are all the same class. Those generic names have important meaning.

Oh, you want facial tissues? Why didn’t you ask?

Sure, here’s some acetaminophen and ibuprofen.

Don’t you mean bleach wipes?

Absolutely

Fever is not 100F. A fever is defined as 100.4F. Why 100.4 when 100 is a much easier to remember and handle number? Because fever is defined in humans as 38C, and that converts to 100.4F.

Fair point

See previous comment in chain about this assumption.

Agreed, a neonate can certainly survive longer than a fetus without support.

You also assume I’m religious.

I’ve not seen many neonates capable of surviving without external intervention. Yes, there is more involvement that an umbilical cord, but left to its own devices, a neonate will not survive.

I’ve been told that about sterilization as well by people. So while you present it at a theoretical argument, I’ve seen it as a lm real argument used in legitimate conversation.

Interesting that you’ve assumed my stance based on my comment. I never said I was anti-abortion.
