I've always liked his album The Six Wives of Henry VIII

You're entitled to your wacky opinions, but a liberal calling anyone else 'stupid' is like a schizophrenic criticizing everyone else's lack of being Henry VIII.

And now for something you never see from leftmedia: CONTEXT.

So, what's really going on here, you ask? As it turns out, Moochelle was thanking the media for not prying into the private lives of her children.

"Michelle Obama thanked the media today for caring about the children.

CNN reporter: “How’s the family ready for this [the election]? It’s going to be quite vicious, isn’t it? How do you prepare for that?”

First Lady Michelle Obama: “You know, it’s … we’re ready, you know. Our children, you know, could care less about what we’re doing. We work hard to do that. Fortunately we have help from the media. I have to say this: I’m very grateful for the support and kindness that we’ve gotten. People have respected their privacy and in that way, I think, you know, no matter what people may feel about my husband’s policies or what have you, they care about children and that’s been good to see.“

Unfortunately the state-run libmedia's "kindness" doesn't extend to the children of conservatives, surprising no one.

So you see, in your tepid attempt to disavow the existence of a libmedia loyal to left-wing Statists, you have exposed, in fact, another example of libmedia loyal to left-wing Statists.

BTW don't you love that FORGED stamp? I laugh every time.

Ignore the hilarious parts. The important part is the wife of the Kenyawaiian admitting left-wing media "help" with their ceaseless propaganda.

This is not what this is, and if you think so, you're even more stupid than I thought previously. Without context, this means nothing. In your twisted mind, she was previously asked: "Who helps you attain world domination?." In reality, neither you nor me know what the topic of conversation was. One idea would be: "How did your charity for insert noble cause raise the needed money?"

Also, it's important to check out the Youtube comments and the video uploader's description. If you did that, you'd know his non-dying performances outweigh his dying performances. Someone did all that work and now you don't need to: http://www.compleatseanbean.com/deathbycow.html

GoldenEye - Alec Trevelyan falls a long way down and is crushed by a satellite dish thing
Henry VIII - Robert Aske meets a gruesome end
The Island - Death by Clone. Merrick is shot in the throat by a nasty grabber thingy with a sharp
hook and a cable that gets wrapped around his neck, and while he's struggling with Lincoln
Six-Echo, the catwalk they're on collapses, and Merrick ends up dangling by the neck. Currently
the most creative dispatch of Sean's career. Definitely well hung.

by Orc. Boromir. Arrows. Need I say more?

quite sure about this one, actually.
The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion - Death by summoning a god's avatar. Martin Septim (the son of the Emperor, aka The Lost Heir) meets his X-Box end when he attempts to save the world.
The Hitcher - Surely you jest. You need to ask? (There were two different versions filmed. He dies
in both of them.)

Romeo & Juliet... What do you think?
Fair Maid of the West ... Spencer doesn't die!

Jesus Christ, dag, why don't you slow your roll for a while? My god, dude. You do have a hobble feature so you don't have to jump around banning people without hearing all sides first. You do realize you've tried to or have banned three people within two weeks. Siftler has an itchy trigger finger.

I promise I'm not calling people names, teacher. Except you now, calling you Henry VIII.

We are victims in the technical sense, and I do feel aggrieved. What actually happened to Turing is his personal tragedy, the crime was the law of the day, and affects even us since we could just as easily be living in 60s Britain as 00s wherever. While there are strategies he could have adopted for a safer and more comfortable life, there's nothing Turing could have done to avoid being victimised, and all the changed minds and apologies in the world aren't going to help him.

When Henry VIII officially criminalised buggery in 15-urmmurmurmurmur, and his law was supported by subsequent generations, they weren't just thinking of their people in their own time, they applied it to everyone - you, me, Alan Turing and a child born a billion years from now in Alpha Centauri. This is the problem with taking the long view; the future may be bright, but it can't shine back on us, while the shadow of the past stretches forward forever.

Meh. I'm still closer to childhood than middle-age, and enamoured of idealism.

As for our limited intelligence - you do the best you can with what you have, and I'd suggest we're doing a hell of a lot better than some.

In reply to this comment by chilaxe:
Yeah, the 'personhood' model and the cognitive machine model are each useful levels of detail for the same thing... the best one to use probably depends on what your application is.

I don't blame people, though, for holding views that I think have big costs for society... I think we're all in the same trap of limited human intelligence - them more so than us - and people will change their minds in the end.

Also, the libertarian in me says that society's lack of intelligence only has a cost on us if we let it (to some degree). Turing, for example, as much as I personally admire him for his genius, chose to take certain risks, and he lost the bet.

>> ^spoco2:I understand how heaps of things work and yet I still am one of those who more than others stops and is amazed at the things I'm using

I do this all the time, for exactly the same reason. For many things, I know how it works, I know how (in vague historical terms) we figured it out, and I know what we did before, and how recently that all was.

I tell my GF when I am having these "I'm richer then king henry VIII" moments, half the time she has no idea what I am talking about.

"Here in the UK religion was always pretty dormant until Muslims came along and started ..." With these words, he introduces his rant. Religion has hardly been a tranquil issue in British history--and with no Muslims involved. Consider Henry VIII, Elisabeth I or the IRA. (See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholicism_in_Great_Britain . ) Not to mention the crusades, though those did involve Muslims.

And I should listen to the rest of your misinformed rant ... why?
