HISTORY IN THE MAKING 2008-2016

Good luck!

We've spent a good many years discussing politics, life, society and history. Most of all, the makers of history. The great events that changed the world - people, places, actions. Small acts have changed its hard-worn course, and effort and circumstance can make of its small actors immortal greats. In line with that sentiment, it seems pertinent now to recognize the potential of those who've made up this community for years, obvious through their contributions to the spirited debate and discussion that has proceeded here. HITM has sadly gone silent, though perhaps not lacking for things to say about making history, but rather for the realization that it is time we all commenced to do so, and make our mark.

Good luck to you all, see you in the history books!

A whale that killed its trainer at the SeaWorld tourist attraction should be stoned to death, according to an American religious group.

The American Family Association said Biblical teachings dictate that the five-ton killer whale Tilikum should be executed for dragging to death trainer Dawn Brancheau.

What the fuck? It's a predatory animal; you run the risk of getting killed when you decide to interact with it. You shouldn't kill something for simply reacting naturally to something it perceived as a threat. Humans and dolphins are the only animals known to kill for the hell of it (dolphins will just straight up kill sharks for no reason whatsoever).

WTF. This is such bullshit. The same killer whale also was involved in the death of another trainer in the early 90s I think, so obviously not only did the trainer who recently died knew of the dangers involved, but the whale itself must've had some aggressiveness or something but was still safe enough to be around humans.

It is a Killer whale.
I'm sorry, but it is a marine creature that is aptly named.

Stoning it for doing what it naturally does? I think Christian fanatics are idiots, but this is just ridiculous.

Dragon is not showing an opinion. Maybe he thinks the Christians are right(I don't believe he thinks that).

My point is, I never really saw him criticizing christian fanatics or anything related to christianity.

He doesn't criticize anything that's in line with his views.

Maybe not stone it, but the whale should either be killed or released.

I think released. Not that I'm advocating animal rights, I just fail to see what killing it would accomplish. Much like how recognising a Turkish massacre of Armenian wouldn't really accomplish anything :P

Well, I'd pay to see 3 sharks fight that whale to death. Maybe they can put it on pay-per-view. There, the whale problem disappears, plus they make some money, probably to buy another, better whale.

I say the whale should make a break for Switzerland.
