If we're going to buy into this fantasy that there is some big white bearded man sitting on a cloud somewhere who made everything, then he did indeed make the hate and the thoughts that made Isis and Nazis. There is no such thing as on your own when we are all supposedly following God's plan. It was God's plan that Isis kills everyone or else there is no such thing as God's plan.

God made this, God made that....then God made Hitler too. God might think about staying out of the kitchen.

I don't find it odd, except on religious grounds. That makes it so random to me. Otherwise, it doesn't surprise me at all. I'm with Q in that no one needs to agree. It took hundreds of years for people to agree that the Earth orbits the sun, but that disagreement didn't change the reality. Hell, neither did the eventual agreement, come to that.

I should have clarified that. I, too, only find it odd on religious grounds. The largest argument of the (religious) gay population is that God made everyone exactly the way they are. So to hear a religious gay person say they don't believe that God made transgender people the way they are really confuses me. If we're getting technical, the Bible says the same about transgender people as it does about gay people, so how can we say "Well, he made one just the way they are…but the others are wrong!". I don't know, I just don't get it. I personally believe that God made all people exactly who and how they are and loves us all equally. But hey, I'm in no position to judge anyone on their beliefs. I'm just confused by them, I guess.

People are born blind, deaf, horribly disfigured, missing limbs, conjoined to twins, intersex, et cetera. To say that G-d made them that way and they shouldn't seek to correct their conditions to find happier, more viable existence bringing them closer to their true selves would be disingenuous. One can maintain that G-d does not make mistakes while acknowledging that there's no testimony without a test. This is simply Bruce's journey.

      I suspect we would have had a few withdrawals next year if Israel had won. I don't think many people would relish going to Jerusalem as things stand now. Not to mention it would have been a prime target for terrorist attacks.   
    • And they've given us plenty. Sets, outdoor scenes, music licensing, etc. And that was the point of me using DAYS... so. It's obvious the casino set is not intended for long-term use, hence why it's likely it wasn't as evolved as the other community sets, etc.

    • I just had thought of how to save the Perkins family. (Inspired by Rituals) -- What if Marisa Perkins was Augusta Lockridge's sister? Fictionally, they could've both been local girls, one married rich and one married poor. Originally, I was going to suggest that Marisa be Sophia's sister, but then I realized Joe and Kelly would've been first cousins.  Of course, it would've truly inspired Sophia was if Rosa Andrade sister, with Rosa and Santana moving in to help CC raise the kids once Sophia disappeared.  While this could've avoided both gross CC and Santana affairs, the times were not right for a story about intersectional inequity.
    • https://www.instagram.com/p/DJxW5DLJLId/ Another World is my forever favorite soap opera. But it's finale is almost universally hated by its fans. What this is, is an edit where I've deleted everything I didn't like!!!
    • The Perkins family had potential to be a nice alternative to the more dysfunctional Capwells and wackier Lockridges... but I think a few factors did in the family. 1) Recasting of Joe Perkins 2) Bad casting of the Perkins Patriarch, and the one note writing for that character. 3) Lack of antagonistic interaction between the Capwells/Lockridges and Perkins.  (There was no awkwardness between Jade/Ted.. or CC disapproving of his son being friends with that Perkins girl, etc). 4) Wasting of Jade thus wasting the potential of the actress (which was realized on Days of Our Lives).  She had more potential than Laken oddly enough. The only member of the Perkins family that had appeal and a somewhat thought out story arc was Amy.  
    • @GymnastGuyThanks for posting the three new Capitol 1985 episodes today. The two labeled March 12, and 13 are misidentified. The March 12 labeled one actually aired November 12 1985 which I figured out because Kenny Rogers' movie Wild Horses aired November 12th and it was announced over the "March 12" Cap credits. In addition, Craig Carlson is listed in the April credits but not the March. Craig left Capitol sometime after July 1985 before he rejoined OLTL in the credits by October 15, 1985; he was replaced on Cap by Radcliffe and Hamner. In these posted episodes Radcliffe/Hamner names appear in the March 85 episodes but not in the April.
