somehow I missed this the last time I read it.

I most definitely do not have any sympathy for your brother or his friends. For someone to volunteer to go back into combat like that three times shows definite mental problems. I'd hate to see what these people you speak of would be doing, or where they'd be, with their agressive and violent tendencies if there was no war for them to blow up and kill people with. For people to actually enjoy going to war, that's really frightening and disturbing.

To whoever said that people said Saddam is a good person and doesn't deserve to die, find some soap and wash your mouth. No one said he's a good person and he deserves to die. The point isen't if he deserves to die, it's if someone has the right to take his life. That's the problem with the death penalty. It's not whether or not people want him or her to die, it's if you really want to give the message that murder is ok. The best way to punish someone is to strip them of everything they have. Dignity. Self worth. Friends. Family. Freedom. Sanity.

I wish people would realize what they're doing to their country with this decision. Because this has become a war far across the borders around Iraq and there WILL be consquenses. It's not an if, it's a when and a where. Not to the people making the decision, but to the innocents who maybe even voted against it.

Every once in a while I wish I lived in the US, until something like this comes along and I thank goodness I live in a tiny town in a country people still think is covered in snow from September until June and where everyone wears viking helmets.

    • I usually don't want Tide placement in the middle of an intense sad scene, but this is an interesting point

    • My own personal ranking of this year's contestants: Greece Luxembourg Latvia France Sweden Italy Switzerland Spain Albania Iceland Austria Israel Estonia United Kingdom The Netherlands Denmark Germany Armenia Norway The Ukraine San Marino Poland Finland Lithuania Portugal Malta
    • BTG joke immediately followed by an AMC joke (same context)
    • Thanks!   Was anyone watching during this time? Wondering how Peggy’s rape played out onscreen. It just seems cruel to subject the Brooks family to this trauma a 2nd time.   Feels like the writers have already given up on the character of Jennifer, even though she sticks around another year-plus. She should be a passionate and fierce protective mother, but instead she seems just reactionary (and not even mentioned in this recap) This was also the case in ‘73 when Chris was raped. The writers are definitely more invested Stuart as the Brooks parent.
    • BTG got another SNL reference at 00:50  CONTEXT (so it isn't misconstrued) in this joke swap segment, Michael Che frequently makes his white cohost Colin Jost read racist jokes written by Che.

    • It's obvious that Israel's presence is a major divisive issue, and this is something that the EBU needs to deal with. According to the now published results Israel got 13 out of a possible 19 max points in the semi-final, and while their song isn't bad there's no way they would get those numbers without some kind of manipulation/political voting. They are clearly using this contest as a way of improving their somewhat tarnished reputation. I know that some people are comparing this to the massive sympathy votes that Ukraine gets and which propelled them to victory in 2022, but I feel that that was a more genuine show of support than this concerted effort from Israel to influence the televoting. I even had an ad on Youtube from Israel in Swedish(!) asking for votes! It might not be against any rules, but it feels a bit icky nonetheless.
    • Yeah, as you wrote, an Israeli win would have been a political disaster. Congratulations to Austria. 0 points from the televoting to Switzerland was a disgrace. Other than that, I really enjoyed the show ... but I'm also glad that Eurovision season is over

    • Hahaha Sorry if I was too negative, I just started typing and typing once I got going hahaha
    • @dc11786 Thanks for taking time to answer my various questions, along with giving your thoughts on the different writing teams. I wonder why they didn't just have Ryder and TR leave together if Jane was going anyway. The discussions over the last few pages have made me more interested in watching these episodes than I have been over the years - without the extra details and analyses provided, these years can be difficult to decipher (not helped by how often Jo seems like a side character).
    • I didn't think this was very good (I've never yet seen a good episode of this revival), but you do get a lot of Michael Stroka. And if you are a Donna Reed Show fan, you also get Paul Petersen.
