This argument is getting tiring. I'm not sure what prices are in your neck of the woods, but according to the Toledo Blade on 7/22/1983 (http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=8_tS2Vw13FcC&dat=19800722&printsec=frontpage&hl=en) it showed tickets as going $2.75-$3.50, non-matinee pricing. In 2013 dollars, that's right around $7.50 - exactly where a ticket for a non-matinee show is in this area. Sure, in a bigger city, it might be $9 or so; I'm not going to check it for you what the price was is 1983. It's reasonably tied to inflation. It has not spiked above the rate of inflation. Sorry.
Oh, you want to see 3-D? That'll be extra.
Oh, you want to see XD, and sit on the leather chairs with cupholders?
Those tickets are well above $7.50. But you can't complain about seeing a $14 movie in 3-D when there is no historical comparison to what it should cost.
If you're satisfied seeing a movie in the same "environment" as you could have done in 1983, for the same price, guess what: IT CAN BE DONE.
I know, right? I'm so sick of this "Sky is Falling" liberal nonsense. Humans will eventually learn to drink sea-water, just the way Darwin intended. Deal with it.
You really think some US Government employee embargoed episodes of The Daily Show to New Zealand? I understand the great karma for America Hate but let's call a spade a spade, it's either not worth selling ads to you or your government restricts free speech.

Was That A Tsunami?

FYI, there's a tool online that will show projected inundations of various tsunami types (who's got better Google Fu than me at the moment?).
Nobody's got better Google Fu than you, but most people would share the link to this fun toy. Dick.
Judging by your archaic User ID, it's probably been a good 30 years since you were in high school. I just watched my niece graduate from a suburban US High school in a relatively affluent neighborhood - graduating in the top quintile of students. The homework load you suggest is greatly exaggerated - I would say most high school students are given an hour, tops, of *active* homework assignments, along with a half-hour to an hour of reading. I graduated nearly 15 years ago, from a Jesuit high school known for one of the most demanding after-hours academic requirements in Ohio. I had three hours routinely, and that was far more than anybody I went to middle school with who went to other schools.
Tell me - if home work is a problem, why are so many students likely to drop out of college due to the increased work load? 16 hour semesters should be assumed to be 50 hours a week, including reading, coursework, and various projects. High school kids can't handle it today, and so college is becoming less demanding.
What they need is a fix to rid the world of all of these ridiculous, horrible "Slideshow" websites. 21 fixes? OK Give me a list on one page - maybe two if you want to increase your ad revenue. There's not much in Web 3.0 or whatever the fuck we call ourselves on, but it's horseshit.
Have you been paying attention to American Politics, you know, at all? Traditional conservatives are flocking away from "their party" at a pace not seen since the Democrats started being nice to black people.
There are an increasingly large number of reasons for Facebook Inc to NOT actively remove fake, fraudulent, and duplicate accounts. This is yet another one.
FLAC Audio and DRM-Free, not a penny to the leeches! And if you think that the bands are too hippy, you can choose to send all of your money to the EFF who actively fight said leeches.

Are you saying that Darwin was a necrophiliac? Because I'm certainly not.

Really doesn't matter. It's more about who can play the 'Merican card first, rather than whose caps are biggest.
You can't generalize that way.
DID I MENTIONED I WAS AMERICAN????
Another argument won.

This is from the internet, and it's pretty old.

Maybe you should have put the phone down and you wouldn't have gotten in a terrible accident. You're putting everybody at risk.
Who modded this "Insightful?"
For all those interestd...
... clit mouse? I'm going to have to google this.
http://www.gamechup.com/ea-refuses-to-refund-user-for-simcity-threatens-account-ban/ Very interesting chat-log... customer purchases the game which doesn't work, EA puts out a press release telling them that they will issue refunds, customer service associate tells customer to pound salt! Like he said... I hope this goes viral!
You're a fuckwit, carry on though!
Wow! Thanks... It's gotten to the point where once I see "Page 1 of 17!!" I completely lose interest.
For the record I tried to moderate you up but I cannot moderate a thread I've commented in.
Longer than 6 days I would bet.
