I don't remember any sequels to The Matrix either, but I'm a longtime Apple customer who had his reality distortion field generator personally autographed by Steve Jobs.
One is Van Helsing. Tons of potential in that movie, but they screwed up the mechanics of the effects horribly.
I think you're being generous. If Hugh Jackman's character had been using a whip, then this movie would be indistinguishable from an adaptation of Castlevania by Uwe Boll.
I'm surprised that TFA doesn't mention video games as a reason special effects aren't really impressive any longer. I first saw a folded city in the 2003 PS2 Atlus RPG Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne. However, the warped Tokyo of Nocturne wasn't photorealistic, but bleak and minimalistic. Why should I be impressed by special effects in movies when I've grown up playing ever-more-advanced video games?
You've decided on a conclusion (that the government requires everything to have a backdoor, which is 100% false) and are then making a massive illogical leap with no supporting evidence to that.
I do that all the time when I'm bored. Then again, I think that Jacqueline Kennedy paid Lee Harvey Oswald to whack her husband because she was tired of his philandering.
My hypothesis is that the American civil war never actually ended; they just changed the rules of engagement. As for socialism: I have no objection to socialism between consenting adults. Just leave me out of it.
Don't we hear every so often about how the US government wants backdoors into otherwise secure systems and crypto algorithms for "national security" or "law enforcement" purposes? I suspect that the MSA2000 was required to have a backdoor to appease Uncle Sam, and somebody at HP decided that if Uncle Sam wanted a backdoor, Uncle Sam could damn well have a goate.cx-esque backdoor.
You've just admitted the utility is subjective, so who are you to give me shit for having an opinion contrary to yours? As far as I'm concerned, Michael Moore is a boorish demagogue who makes dull movies. I don't speak for anybody but myself when I say this.
Exactly. Cops are jumpy because getting shot is an occupational hazard for them. Giving them additional cause to be nervous around you is not in your best interest. Be firm in asserting your rights, but be polite and show a little consideration as well.
A country can take no actions, as it has no concrete existence independent of its constituent individuals. Every individual is responsible for his own actions.
If you lease a car, and then refuse to make payments, would you consider the court requiring that you pay them "confiscation" or just you being forced to make payments?
I can choose whether or not I wish to lease a car. One does not get a choice as to whether or not one wishes to be a subject of a government or retain his natural sovereignty.
You have no effect on his [the highwayman's] ability to take your money.
If I have a weapon, I can kill the motherfucker and claim self-defense if made to stand trial. I might even convince the jury to let me off.
If you don't know the truth about what is going on, then how do you judge whether your government is acting in your best interests (as opposed to the best interests of the rich and powerful)?
I sidestep the question by assuming, unless provided with compelling evidence to the contrary, that the US government is acting in a manner inimical to what I understand to be my best interests.
As someone who had his country 'invaded' by US gov, I gotta say... we don't want you to 'civilize' us.
I don't want the US government trying to civilize you, either; I've got better things to do with my money. Unfortunately, I'm a single angry man amid a population of 300 million sheep.
A car is a blunt instrument on wheels weighing at least one ton (where 1 ton = 2000 pounds). If I ram my car into a person, I'll probably be fine. The other guy, however, will probably have a closed-casket funeral.
And yet, Michael Moore continues to sell tickets to his movies. He motivates and inspires quite a few fans. He does not, in fact, "lose arguments." He wins them, if convincing people is any measure.
How do you he's actually convincing anybody but you and possibly your friends, as opposed to simply being entertaining?
Finally, I suspect The Lord God Himself could present the message in the most eloquent and infinitely perfect manner possible, and some people would "dislike the way he said it."
The Lord God Himself, as depicted by the Old Testament, is a monster with the ethics of a sociopathic child and the manners of a Dalek. The only thing I want to hear from that motherfucker is a good reason why I shouldn't do the universe a favor and kill him.

Nor did Dracula do the whole "What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets!" bit.
You will die alone save for a cat who will spend your last moments licking his balls.
Actually, I'm an alien, an exile from Planet Transsexual.

Zip up. Your flag-waving nationalism is showing.

"There are four lights!"
I have a bobcat. He purrs when I hug him.
So who is liable for the actions of a country?
A country can take no actions, as it has no concrete existence independent of its constituent individuals. Every individual is responsible for his own actions.

"The state calls its own violence law, and that of the individual crime."
Let's not mince words. A Tek-9 is a submachinegun. Not that there's anything wrong with a submachinegun; I favor the old-fashioned Thompson myself.

If you're too drunk to talk to Johnny Law, you're too drunk to drive.
You also have to be careful with "No, officer" if the question is, "Do you have an alibi".
Yes, but in an anarcho-capitalist society you can always opt for a DIY solution.
