What do you care if a comic is a "8.1" or a "9.3" unless your main concern is literal monetary value?

There is a difference between taking care of an item and having an evaluation company seal it away and assign a grade to it.

You'd think talent would help in maintaining balance.

You said "protecting potentially valuable items". Valuable for what? For passing on to the next owner? It's far from being lost media

So it's about resell value to you. Then it has little to do with a love for comics.

What I'm trying to say is, it's a book, and for a fan the inside should hold just as much value. Otherwise it's hoarding.

There are reprints, sure. But as a fan, part of the appeal is being able to look through it. Unless your only concern is resell value.

So they can't ever be read?

I think the right thing to do would be to put them in a museum, explaining historical context and symbolism.

Skeletons being scary's not the point. It's a traditional symbol of death. All that's left long after you're dead, after the flesh rots away

This reminded me of an episode of House MD where a black guy refused to take pills that were better for a black person. Don't overdo it guys

a number of its administrative units as "republics" is Russia, apperently not realizing that the opposite of a republic is a monarchy. 3/3

English term for administrative subdivisions of numerous countries (Germany or Malaysia, among others). The only country that refers to 2/3

The term "state" pertains not only to the US, it is used by other countries as well (Australia, Mexico, India, etc.) and is used as the 1/3

Making the Russian use of the term confusing and misleading. 3/3

Russia is (ostensibly) a federal republic. There can't be a republic wthin a republic. 2/3

Again, entirely missing the point. A "republic" is not something Russia came up with. A republic is a state governed by the people. 1/3

that their population does not enjoy the same level of democracy. 3/3

By classifying some of your federal entities as "republics" but not doing so for the others you are inadvertently implying 2/3

You are entirely missing my point. The only inherent quality of a republic is democracy. It has nothing to do with ethnicity or autonomy.1/3

The US is also a republic, though. Russia's terminology is bullshit, implying that some parts of it are democratic states and some are not.

No, it *should* be porn, but it's not.

Imagine those that didn't take a closer look telling the story of how they saw a guy masturbating on the street for the rest of their lives.

It's funny how these hoaxes get perpetuated. No, the original Red Ranger guy never did porn, he would actually go on to become a paramedic.

It's a memoir by a circus trainer of big cats, actually
