That’s a good point, hadn’t considered that.

No, I was thinking about the lack of empathy required to actively hate everyone under a certain age.

Have an upvote for the unpopular opinion, but man, who hurt you? Do you need a hug?

I’m fairly sure that should be banned under the Geneva Convention quoting either the cruel and unusual punishment, or biological weapons protocols…

The song goes “We wish you a merry Christmas”, so that’ll always be there for as long as the song is popular.

Plus (also because of the song, I assume), you say “merry Christmas and a happy new year”, not “happy Christmas and a happy new year”. Too much happy there.

If you’re racist and you know it, clap your hands!

Should copyright for works that old be expired? Yes!

In the actual world we live in, was this guy ever going to avoid being sued so hard that his grandchildren will be embarrassed for him? No!

You've got to admire the lemming-like devotion to the legal cliff he threw himself off though. Writing a sequel to not only a copyright work, but one that is still in the cultural zeitgeist thanks to a 20-year old wildly successful series of films? Ballsy. Subsequently suing one of the largest companies in the world and the estate that produced the original works as infringing his copyright?

Chutzpa, I believe the term is.

Huh. Interesting.

"Speakers from places like Blackburn usually differentiate between pairs of words such as 'stellar' and 'stella', whereas most of England would consider them to be the same," says Dr. Turton.

Short of deliberately rolling the R, I don't actually know how I could pronounce it... I'd never thought about that before.
