I predicted in about 10 years disclaimers at the beginning will include, 'This show depicts murder. Neither the show's creators producers or actors condone the taking of another human life.'

What if the claim were false?

What if she wasn't from Pitcairn? No big deal other than her credibility comes into question.

What if Gengis Kahn did not exist? Nothing lost, we already doubt our historical record.

What if Jesus did not exist? Suddenly the largest religion's foundation is gone.

What if God doesn't exist? Many people lose their reason for existing..

That which has enormous impact should require proof of truthfulness.

This is not news. This is a one-sided venting without context or any other perspective on the situation.

From the article - they believe eating fast food should be cheaper than eating at home, but isn't. What kind of fucked up belief is this? No wonder they view fast food as a luxury.

You can tell it's fake because his hands are normal-size

There is an old fable that tells of two Asian monks walking down a dirt road and they came to a stream. At the stream there is an imperious woman of noble birth waiting impatiently for her carriage to be freed frob the muddy bank so that she can continue on her journey. She turns to the the monks and shouts at them to carry her across the stream. The younger monk freezes in uncertainty because their vows forbid them to touch a woman. The older monk approaches the woman and offers to carry her on his back. The entire trip across the stream she is shouting orders and complaining about his efforts. When they reach the other side she turns from him, ignoring him completely and turns her attention to continuing on her way. The older monk continues on his journey and the younger monk follows. They are silent for hours, the younger monk becomes more and more enraged at their treatment by the noble woman. Finally, he says to his companion, "Aren't you angry at that woman because of her treatment of you when you carried her across the stream?" The older monk replies without breaking his stride, "I put her down hours ago."

It is not a comment on your post, it is only about the NY Post and their sensationalism methods.

You can always count on the NY Post to distort the truth to get some really juicy headlines. He is charged with pandering (attempting to pay for sex). Not human trafficking, although it was a human trafficking sting operation.

I thoroughly enjoyed an Unkindness of Ghosts by Rivers Solomon. It's an interesting take on the generation ship theme.
