“In the weeks prior to the war to liberate Afghanistan, a good friend of mine would ask me almost every day, “Why aren't we killing people yet?” And I never had a good answer for him. Because one of the most important and vital things the United States could do after 9/11 was to kill people. Call it a “forceful response,” “decisive action” ' whatever. Those are all nice euphemisms for killing people. And the world is a better place because America saw the necessity of putting steel beneath the velvet of those euphemisms.” PeopleWorldImportantWarStatesActionAmericaAsksAnswersUnitedUnited StatesSawsNiceWeekMinesResponseKillingAsk MeAfghanistanGood FriendSteelBetter PlaceVelvetEuphemismDecisive Action Author:Jonah Goldberg
“I fell in love with the classical crossover genre when I was on AGT. I found out that I could use the microphone to establish a deeper intimacy with the audience. I did not portray an opera character; I was my true self. I would sing a four-to-five minute piece for the audience and then I could talk to them and say "Hi" to them! I would not need to act out scenes where my character was dying from tuberculosis or killing somebody else on stage, I could have a nice conversation with them.” NeedsSelfCharacterUseFoundAudienceFivePiecesFourNiceMinutesStageDyingSceneConversationKillingDeeperIntimacyGenreOperaTrue SelfFive MinutesMicrophonesTuberculosisCrossover Author:Barbara Padilla

“You've got this world, these pathologists that are, day in and day out, taking apart bodies, coming up with theories about how they died and how to better serve the community. At the same time these people have lives outside and families and my character in particular, he has a fiance and things are going well for him, so you've got to show that nice warm compassionate side at the same time you've got to show the steely, icy cool of a doctor. Not only that, but a doctor who gets a bit of a God complex and starts killing people for sport.” PeopleWorldWellsCharacterShowsBodyBitsSportsSidesCommunityNiceThis WorldParticularTheoryDoctorsDiedComplexesKillingWarmCompassionateDoctor WhoIcyFianceGod Complex Author:Milo Ventimiglia

“I'm an expert at killing time on planes now. I do a lot of reading. My secret sort of nerdy side is I'm quite into history so I read a lot of history books. Now I write for a few things and I've had a few history things published, which is cool. I indulge my nerdy side and it's kind of as far away as you can get from the acting world so that's nice as well.” WorldWritingWellsKindBookReadingSidesActingSecretNiceKillingPlanesExpertsFar AwayIndulgeHistory BooksNerdyTime To Kill Author:Jeremy Irvine
“I'm not a vegetarian. Now, don't get me wrong - I like animals. And I don't think it's just fine to industrialize their production and to churn them out like they were wrenches. But there's no way to treat animals well when you're killing 10 billion of them a year. Kindness might just be a bit of a red herring. Let's get the numbers of animals we're killing for eating down, and then we'll worry about being nice to the ones that are left.” ThinkingWayYearsWellsMightLeftBitsAnimalNumbersKindnessWorryNiceFineEatingRedTreatsDown AndKillingProductionsBillionsVegetarianBeing NiceWrenchesHerringRed Herrings Author:Mark Bittman
