Where else to ask? The other online community I frequent, Diablo forum, is quite toxic!
Reading IMDB's user review[^] of Vikings[^], on that second page I see many interesting negative reviews.
I am thrilled to know (really, no sarcasm! ) that the movie depict Roman law more than (as it should) German law, or that there are no fjord in Denmark (the theoretical location of this movie's setting) and this is more like Norway (ok I knew that one, but didn't know Ragnar Lodbrok was a Dane), etc, etc...
But really.. if this is the reason they can't enjoy the show?!
I feel sorry for them!
What say you?!

They only reason they cannot enjoy watching The Vikings is that the gods sent a raven to eat their eyes. Punished, no doubt, for snobbery.
Damn - even my Mrs. tolerates the violence to enjoy the show.

You want to know about curmudgeonism? Ask away!
Rule #1 to being a curmudgeon: You can always find something to criticize. The measure of intelligence/quality in the person/thing being criticized is strictly a function of how hard one has to look. This simple rule makes it really easy to filter the wheat from the chaff.

I say they're clucking morons!
If you want historical inaccuracy, watch the Kirk Douglas 1958 film Vikings. Great film, in my bloody good opinion, yet full of more holes Sean's mankini!

I really shouldn't read your posts whilst eating breakfast. Or lunch. Or dinner.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Well, hang on a minute. This is produced by the History Channel and was supposed to be docudrama so historical inaccuracies are kind of a big deal. If it was produced by SyFy and written by the guys that did "How To Train Your Dragon" that would be different.
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

I'll let you in on a wee bit of a secret: History Channel, and their sister, The Discovery Channel, are the home of conspiracy theories and alien probing.
That they produced a show with the quality of The Vikings is enough for me.
Veracity? We don't need no stinking veracity!*

Probably written by the same guy who will say "the book was better", gets excessively mad if you ask "can Shiki kill servants", and hates the Star Wars prequels.

I was driving my car with this 4 years old kid , my cousin's little son. He kept on fiddling with the audio player, aircon buttons & whatever was there on the dashboard. Quite several times he jumped my arms to press the horn by himself. It was highly annoying, he was uncontrollable. Then he wanted to do something with the gear , when I stopped him , he swiftly moved to pull the handbrake. I just totally dislike kids hyperactive behaviors like these. I'm not sure if this is coming from their DNA or it's because of bad parenting. Anyway, when he tried to do these I told him. "Boy, if we are going to pull these two things (gear, Handbrake) we are sure to crash "
He replied me , "Oh we are gonna crash, then we reach god ".
I think my idiotic cousin has equated "Death" to "reaching god". I think many people get tired of answering their kids and end up throwing some rubbish explanations to critical questions. How dangerous is this if the kid mistakes dying as reaching god, when the entire family spends so much time saying God is great, God saves us all, and blah blah & those stuff. The kid is so happy about death.
What would be your answer when a kid asks what happens after we die. Or simply put, "What is death"?

This is based on your religious and personal views of life in general, I would think. If my statement is true, then each of us would tell our children what "we" believe.
My answer, would be that dead is dead, game over, nothing more to see here.

Don't they have child seat laws where you live? A 4 year old should be in the back seat, strapped in to a booster chair or something similar.

Have, briefly, a long time ago.
Now imagine what happens to an unrestrained child (in the front or back) if you get hit by an oncoming car. They fly forward at 80 ~ 100 Km/h and weighs what? 18 ~ 20 kg?
That's some serious inertia: they will smash skulls or break necks if they hit them, and they will die or be seriously injured if they hit the windscreen instead.
If they are on your lap with your seatbelt round you both, you will crush them like a bug in the same accident.
You want that on your conscience?

Yup I'm in complete agreement. I was just saying , if you come to India. You'll go mad, the moment you step out of your flight. Things are sickening mad here. Whenever I travel out and come back in, it takes a week or so to get used to the BSs. It'll take a long time (like centuries) to sort out things in India.
And like I said, I was just driving between two streets.
