2 fucking people in Hollywood belong to Scientology and that automatically makes it a dominant religion? HA!!!
Let's see, Ben Stiller & Adam Sandler (among others), are Jewish, all of Hollywood must be Jewish right?
The anti-freedom, "secret torah" nature of it would seem to preclude the individualist
Oh, you mean Christianity?
I don't see how any one in their right mind could belong to scientology, or how anyone in their right mind can make the conclusion that because 2 people of a group belong to a religion, it must be the favored religion of the rest of the group. I'm not following your logic.
Besides, the right wing likes to force their ideas on to others, like prayer in schools, anti-choice, etc., much like the scientology church tries to convert everyone.
In my opinion, seeing a film on the bigscreen is the *only* way to see it. Especially a high end/ up-to-date theater. It's the way the director wanted you to see his/her artwork, not on some crummy television screen where it's a crapshoot with quality. I'll pay 8 bucks any day to see a great film on the big screen.
Read the first reply to this comment and you'll see why, I couldn't have said it better. Slashdot is not some huge conglomerate that gobbles up the competition. Did it take you that long to figure that one out?:)

People from Canada are called CANADIENS, people from Mexico are called MEXICANS, etc.
Very true, but remember, what's right for you is not right for everyone.

If they want to stop child abuse -- stop drug use, which is responsible for something 80% of child abuse.
Not sure that I agree with you there....where did you get that statistic?
As a child I suffered from both physical and sexual abuse. After being in touch with hundreds if not thousands of people who also were on the receiving end of such atrocious behavior, it was very rare for it to be due to drugs.
What drives pedophiles to commit such acts is usually a mental disorder or even a hormonal inbalance. True, drugs can makes these worse, but they are there from the start.
Happily, Ruth Dwyer, the Nazi/Republican candidate for governor of Vermont, was religated to the dustbin of history on election day. She was forced to admit, in her concession speach, that Vermonters don't appear to agree with her on the issues. She actually got a smaller percentage of the vote this year then she did two years ago, when she did not have the whole civil union issue to harp on.
Oh my god! So glad there is another slashdotter that agrees with me on how insane Ruth Dwyer is! I was getting so sick of all of the "Take Back Vermont" bullshit going on in VT, this certainly is way far from the Vermont I grew up in and love.
I live in Boston now, but am in Vermont regularily. Today in the Boston Phoenix, Ruth Dwyer and the Take Back Vermont crap was on the front page, titled "Gay Bashing: Vermont Style". Inside there is a picture of Ruth and her supporters waving, but it looks damn near close to them giving the Sieg Hiel salute, scary!!!!
And him blaming Nader for all of this I found rather uninformed. No one is to blame for Gore's loss (well, soon to be) than Gore himself. I was happy voting for Nader, and do not regret it one bit. Bill Press is trying to put the blame on Nader. That's ridiculous. We don't have a 2 party system in the US, and we can vote for whomever we please.

He's getting paid per article and per word I would assume :)

If I remember right from Psychology class oh so long ago, individuals can only store 7 to 9 digits max in their short term memory.
But in today's world of palm pilots, who needs short term memory?
Why do we have to keep beating this into the ground? We all were affected by this, so why keep re-opening the wounds?
It's not about the money, it's about the quality of the product.
We need Abbie Hoffman back!
He'd know what to do!

I like the pic with the caption: "Linux Networx decided to put their boxen horizontally in order to help with the cooling."
;)
I don't know about you, but I need some "cooling down" just looking at this geek "porn"
There aren't any scantily clad porn stars in these pics, it was a joke!!! :)

Try telling that to some farmers in Vermont making less than 10 grand a year....

And, Texas Oil played a factor in JFK's assassination, so it goes both ways.
I'm sure Nader slept just fine, as did I, after voting for him.
If Bush does in fact win, Nader didn't cost Gore the election, GORE cost himself the election.
It's no one's fault but his own.
Goes to show you that your vote DEFINITELY does count....
Definitely agree with you there, just stating that I didn't see what the orginal poster "feared" about Browne's contributors.
Maybe the original poster "feared" who contributed to Browne's campaign...
Check it out here.
What caused you to lose your right to vote if I may ask? Just curious....
