I enjoyed the First Season. I keep waiting for someone to do a short video of Aemond’s face right after Vhagar chomps Arryx and Luceryes… the music should be the “You fucked up� orchestral theme from “Deadpool 2�.

Have any serial killers ever been exonerated? That's a specious question. If the bar is far lower than "serial killer", then anyone wrongly put on death row doesn't have to be one. We're not speaking of random occurrences here. If you want to put someone on death row that shouldn't be, yo...

Truly, having a "bar" for the death penalty just means that situations are "adjusted" to be above or below the bar as one's bias dictates. The number of people on death row who were exonerated before execution, and the reasons why they were exonerated, provide some deeply distur...

Indeed. Which is why I would limit capital punishment to serial killers.

Ha! Sorry, my Top 3 favorite SRD words will always be crepsucular, formicating, and puissant.

Cthonic was the one I needed to look up.

Saying that the actions of the Catholic Church are evil when they covered up child predators isn't an insult. That's what they *did.* I can have an opinion on those facts. The presence of a member of that church ("right in front of them") doesn't take away my right to have an opinion. I'm...

SerScot, I understand your example is not coming from that emotional state. But Gadkins killed the other prisoner with C4 explosives. Null can certainly speak to this better than I can, but I suspect those around him could have been kept safe without killing him. And I do appreciate your POV. Howev...

Really, we don't need to be having these conversations any longer. But if we are, let's not pretend nobody knew how bad things were or that nobody said anything about it. All this crap was very well known. Problem was the mod, who did not attempt to insist on the least bit of civility. So things we...

Fist, it could be a current events thread. All purpose. I’d like to hear Ser Scott’s thoughts on Ukraine. Sounded like he was ready to go. Since the CE thread was quickly locked. I’d like to ask a meta question. How can politics be discussed without discussing the various human groups that pa...

I agree with Z's interpretation of wf's post. Correct me if I'm wrong, wf, but I assume that's your interpretation, as well. So that's three of us who see it that way, and think all three examples should be deleted. So here's an offer for everyone. None of the Gen Dis mods are around to run this te...

Perhaps the suggested rule needs more specificity? Or does that just open another rabbit hole of hairsplitting? As has been mentioned, a potential case for a New Tank is the commonality of Watchers as SRD fans (or at least SRD-aware enough to pass the new member signup ...back when that worked.) I ...

I don't think our justice system can ever be 100% perfect, therefore there's always a chance that we arrested the wrong guy. So I object to capital punishment on purely pragmatic reasons. If we could be 100% sure, and the crime was great enough (room for debate there), then I'd have no problem with...
