I would swear that #69 for the Return of the King is incorrect and that in the movie Frodo DID tell Bilbo that he had lost the ring after Bilbo inquired about it, and Bilbo says something like "I really would have liked to touch it one more time". Can someone please correct me if I am wrong. A Bugg

Of course America win's you are familiar with the fact that the this movie is based on the time preceeding the 1980 winter olymipics and is about THE ACTUAL UNITED STATES HOCKEY TEAM'S victory over the unbeatable russians. So I know American wins because I am familiar with history, and if America didn't win they would be altering history. However, I do agree you have a point with "Hollywood is incapable of producing a movie in which America doesn't win. " However there is a reason the US saves the world in all those movies, wait for it, wait for it, that's because they are produced and filmed in the US for primarily US audiences. If you don't like it don't watch it, it is that simple, vote with your money.
I call BS on the over 30 thing, my parent know what ripping is and they are both over 50, and I am sure other parents who have children that have vast collections of mp3's have probably at one time or another heard it referenced. Now would they know HOW to rip a CD though, probably not, but don't sell people short just because they are "old" (and 30 isn't that old just to let you know). A Bugg
w.r.t your paranoia. There's a lot of fucked up stuff on the internet, and your kids will eventually see it anyway. I wouldn't want small children to see that stuff but the stileproject isn't going to turn a 15 year old into a psychopath......
It's not that I don't agree with most of what you are saying but the fact that a few years back when my younger brother went to the DMV to get his FIRST drivers license they asked him if he wanted to register to vote, which is all well and good except that he was only 16 and the woman should have known that considering she just gave him his license. (Yes it was "legal" too, he got the card and they sent him reminders of where to vote with out reminders when the time came.) My point is that if she was so completely ignorant of the fact he was not 18 whos to say another person wouldn't ask a few hundred illegals if they wanted to register to vote when they got their licenses.
Not entirely, remember free speech doesn't include libelous or slanderous speech. Which POSSIBLY could include people calling you a traitor. And simply being against the government's war is not sufficient evidence or just cause for treason or being called a traitor.
It would be like me repeated and harrasingly calling you a murderer if you had hit (with a car) and killed some one entirely accidentally when in fact you had never murdered anyone it was just an accident. A Bugg
Are you kidding me, Bush and Co. have been doing it for months.
14 Oct 2002 During a speech in Dearborn, Michigan, President George W Bush declares that Saddam Hussein maintains active ties to al Qaeda: "This is a man that we know has had connections with al Qaeda. This is a man who, in my judgment, would like to use al Qaeda as a forward army."
7 Nov 2002 During a press conference, President George W Bush declares: "Some people say, 'Oh, we must leave Saddam alone, otherwise, if we did something against him, he might attack us.' Well, if we don't do something he might attack us, and he might attack us with a more serious weapon. The man is a threat... He's a threat because he is dealing with al Qaeda... And we're going to deal with him."
Not more than 5 weeks ago did Cheney get on meet the press and spout off this shit about hussein's involvement with 9-11 and Iraq's ties to al-qaeda, because the day after that the white house had to go on damage control because by then the american people had figured out that the Bushies had been lying about iraq's involvement with al-qaeda and 9-11.
Of course the American networks are running tapes of the launch, I saw the replay of the launch on BOTH Fox News and CNN and MSNBC (i think it was msnbc i was just flipping through). CNN even has video of it on their website (it's premium content though).
I would also like to recomend Yahoo's Launch. I am listening to it right now, and its great. Very few commercials, you pick the music you want to listen to, and if a song comes up that you don't feel like listening to skip to the next one. Hell I wish I had found it sooner. But amen to definitely boycotting CD's, I have been doing it for years, and I am not going to quit anytime soon. A Bugg
Are DVD's really too expensive, think about it yeah they may start out at 20-25 dollars. But given a few months the prices come down to more reasonable levels for the majority of DVD's. And if you think that 20 dollar DVD isn't worth it buy a used copy, I guarantee it won't cost you more than 15 dollars and likely it will be 10 or less. For the product you get I think DVD's are far more valuable than music. A Bugg
