    He is a roguish, charming, attractive leading man. Pretty much the definition of a successful leading man. Take a look at George Clooney for another example.

    Shia Labeouf, Transformers was not his first job, but it definitely upgraded his career.

  4. Re:Good Luck on Amazon Requires Non-Compete Agreements.. For Warehouse Workers · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You really think Amazon wants to take the PR hit by suing a contractor who worked in their warehouse for 10 dollars an hour?

  5. Fios?? Verizon has stopped expanding Fios, so if you are not in their service area already you are SOL.

    No I am pretty sure they make more money off Top Gear being a worldwide success then they do off the British TV tax.

    The last time Clarkson left Top Gear it was cancelled. So while you may be right, history is not on your side.

    Really because I think the top rally car right now is a Ford Focus, hey at least that's what Ken Block changed to.

    Jeremy has been the driving force behind Top Gear since he first joined the show in 1988. The last time he lef the show was cancelled due to losing half it's viewers. If you think Hammond could carry the show or That May could, then why haven't they been able to keep their own shows on the air.

  11. Re:in further news show tanks on Jeremy Clarkson Dismissed From Top Gear · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Considering he was talent who relaunched it in 2002 and was the primary driver of it's popularity, then yeah it's done. Look at what happened in 2001 when Jeremy left the show the first time . Viewership dropped by half and it was cancelled.

    I am pretty sure Japan was banned from developing nuclear weapons under the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the United States and Japan. It basically made us Japan's military until quite recently.

    To challenge the law you must have standing, to have standing you must show some damage it caused you. In this case if you have standing, you have no access to the courts.

    And your (and everyone else's) unwillingness to even make an attempt at change is how we got here in the first place. It comes down to don't complain about it if you refuse to help fix it.

    Well if you don't try then your lack of effort is guaranteed to fail. Is it going to hurt you to let your representatives know where you stand? Because it will definitely hurt you if you don't.
