    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    He has abunch of rants up against people coming out after an author has died and finishing their work. I don't think he has specifically ruled out letting someone else finish the series, but that is definitely what most diehard fans on westeros.org believe.

    http://politicker.com/2013/04/bloomb...ave-to-change/ So Bloomberg thinks the rational response to this bombing is to change our interpretation of the Constitution? Talk about a complete fucking asshat wannabe jackboots.

    Been DMing a 4th edition campaign for the last 2 months, 4 hours a week. We are doing our sessions over Skype using Maptool. What sucks is how incredibly long the combat seems to take. It has been 15 years since I played before, but the 4th edition keeping track of all the different marks and...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Sure and she clearly regrets it and makes that clear as being one of the reasons she is staying in Meereen instead of just purging it and going. Also, whether or not Barristan and the Unsullied left Meereen (where to exactly?), the city would have exploded in a bloodletting of monumental...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    This isn't Dany's character at all though. She doesn't purge the nobles because she doesn't know which nobles are doing it. I don't see that as weakness, I see that as doing the right thing. She even mentions that when she makes her speech about staying in Meereen. She doesn't want to be just a...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yeah, it should be a huge WTF moment for tv fans when Sansa sneaks out and finds LF on a boat when everyone thinks he has been in the Vale for months. A lot of book fans are worried that LF has been "ruined" as a character because he seems to have too obvious plots in the tv show. If played...

    Boston Marathon Explosion - Today's Topics: Public Schools

    Asking random muslims to apologize or in any way acknowledge this attack is just silly. That being said, if a christian had spent some time at a somewhat mainstream church, got radicalized by it and then went and blew up abunch of people, many people would clearly think that church should be...

    She definitely is my favorite character of the series and probably the most in line with my own morality.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I just completely disagree with your take on this. Dany wasn't "bullied" into a marriage. She was being harassed by a guerrilla force and had to find a way to deal with them while the armies were outside her gates. She married someone after that person showed that they could stop the opposition...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Several people have said this but there is no reason at all that the Dany storyline won't be compelling going forward. 1) We have the outsmarting the yunkai and destroying their army. Then we have her surrender demands and the release of the slaves "Mother!". Also the Titan's Bastard. This is...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I don't think the show would necessarily falter if it had to replace some cast members. Shit happens, the show has such a large cast that replacements wouldn't ruin the show and they have shown time and time again that they can find awesome new people to join the show. The hardest to replace...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    My guess is that they will have Sansa promised to Tyrion and then LF telling Sansa he has to go, which combined together will destroy Sansa. By making it clear that he is leaving and then waiting a few episodes (or even next season until we see him again), it will make it quite a surprise when...

    Boston Marathon Explosion - Today's Topics: Public Schools

    Considering Araysar is probably from the same hometown as these guys, we also need to consider what Araysar knew and when did he know it? It was really suspicious that he kept saying it was going to be radical, conservative white guys and then suddenly it was radical conservative white guys from...

    Boston Marathon Explosion - Today's Topics: Public Schools

    I think the most shocking thing to me about this entire bombing is the fact they stuck around and one of them even went to a party, used the gym, etc. I really hope the guy talks, just so we know what their thought process was in all this. How did they think it was all going to go down?

    Also, I look forward to Godric posting that even though he hasn't read the books, he thought the sacking of Astapor wasn't as good as it was in the books.

    Yeah, it was all the setup, he now has to face trial by combat but it didn't actually happen yet. Arya being badass led to it of course.

    Yeah, it sucks. How else are you supposed to imprison someone who is a danger to himself and anyone else he comes into contact with? No sympathy for this guy, in fact I think this essay should be required reading. Might scare a few people away from murdering innocents.

    Hey Lumie, Why didn't the world end in 2012?

    How can you call yourself a conspiracy website if you don't allow distaste of jews? Seems half the conspiracies revolve around them.

    I doubt he will be shanked. Won't he most likely end up in solitary confinement in a Supermax?

    Really bad idea. Some of these crazies are doing this specifically to try and get publicity for their cause. A public trial would possibly give him a stage to present his grievances and certainly would be a huge spectacle. Let him get a fair trial in private without any circus atmosphere.

    A Song of Ice and Fire (Released Spoilers)

    Dude, relax. There has only been one consistent theme to GRRM's predictions on when he was going to end the series, that of him constantly saying he only needs a few more books. When the book was a trilogy, he said he would finish it in two. Then he said it would need three more, for a total of...

    A Song of Ice and Fire (Released Spoilers)

    Yeah, he could only finish it in one book if he drastically changed his pacing and dropped tons of side stories. Hell, it will stretch believability for Daenerys to even get to the Seven Kingdoms by the end of the next book, considering it took Tyrion an entire book to get there and he was by...

    What call? That they won't read him Miranda? That isn't taking away any of his constitutional rights, at least not more than they do fairly routinely to "normal" criminals in our justice system. Not reading him Miranda != treating him like an enemy combatant.

    Any source portraying that as the only two options are clearly stupid. Not giving him Miranda rights is far far from being declared an enemy combatant.

    On miranda rights, Orin Kerr had an interesting post on his group blog about it... The police simply aren't required to give him Miranda rights right away. They only have to give it to him if they want to use any direct statements he makes about his own guilt. If he gives pointers to...

    Speaking of which, how many people really believe he can end it in two books? I don't think there is any way in hell. Heck, we will be lucky if all the people in Meereen are even able to get to the 7 kingdoms by the end of the next book. Do we really think he is going to jam all the WW shit into...
