  1. Re:I Would Rather Go To Theatres on Slashdot Asks: Would You Like Early Access To Movies And Stop Going To Theatres? · · Score: 1

    I have stopped going to theaters due to people talking loud through the entire movie, kids or adults kicking my chair, people using their very bright phones during the movie, people talking on their phones during the movie, people that don't bathe and smell really bad in the theater, and the latest problem being theaters that play the movie at painful distorted volumes. I love watching movies with loud surround sound at home but the volume in the theaters requires me to actually wear ear protection. I never go to theaters even when our company pays for the tickets and the snacks. I will continue to put money in to my home theater and not into the box office. For those that love the commercial theater experience I say more power to you. I used to love the experience. It has really changed and now there is a new market for the industry to cater to a segment of the population like me as well as homebound folks that are not able to get to the theater for health or other reasons.

    After getting very sick I can say I agree with your discovery. Low Carb, High Fat. very low intake of highly refined sugars and grains. Lots of meat and green veggies. I also take liquid magnesium. About 70+ percent of Americans are magnesium deficient. Magnesium regulates over 300 chemical processes in the body. Probiotics are a good idea as well. No drugs, No alcohol. No soda.

  16. Re:Wired: The Eternal Value of Privacy on Privacy and the "Nothing To Hide" Argument · · Score: 1

    Oh the Germans didn't bomb civilians? London? The problem for you is that the brainwashing you grew up under is not universal. You can believe that the Nazi's were good and the US was bad and that exterminating 6 million Jews was a good thing but that does not make it true. On the point of America getting involved in wars I agree with you. I don't believe there are any people living in Europe or the Middle East that are worth American Blood. Your blind hatred for the US is your problem. We keep hearing about how Europe is Utopia and the US is the worst country on earth. Tell me then why do we have masses of people from countries around the world trying to get into the US? They want to come here because we suck? The fact of the matter is that the only thing Europeans agree on is that you all hate the US. Boo Hoo. I will just have to console myself living in my huge American house and driving around in my huge gas guzzling SUV going to fast food restaurants and getting fatter every day. On the weekend I will go to a Nascar Race and follow that up with an ATV ride with my kids in the desert and blaze a new trail that will be visible for generations. Hell maybe I'll even change my oil and dump it on the ground or in a mountain stream. You can walk to the train and go have an environmentally friendly organically grown lunch with one of your pompous arrogant condescending friends and talk about how Euronators are saving the earth for the terrorists to enjoy. Then you can go home to your 350 square green apartment and sleep on your cot with your 6 cats and wake up to church bells playing Mozart.

    My post is wrong? Just hearing your views makes me glad I live in the US. Its obvious Europeans are bitter about needing our help to end two world wars began by your people. Its also obvious that your a product of European PC propaganda. Some immigrants did immigrate to the colonies to escape but the overwhelming majority left for religious freedom the puritans being the first. Some of those puritans did starve due to their inability to get crops growing quickly enough. However your view that those who immigrated to America were still living in poverty is just laughable. The only economic bondage they were facing came from taxation from oppressive regimes in Europe. This taxation was the reason for the American Revolution which I am sorry to inform you was fought and won with guns. Now please answer my question. Why did you not use your gun-less people power to save your selves from the Nazi's? What does the propaganda say about that?

    "I don't think a citizens' militia would have a hope in hell without the support of the military." Well if our military uses the same PC rules of engagement against its own people that it is using to fight the enemy in Iraq then I would have to disagree with you there. I really get a kick out of those that say you have a right to privacy for everything except guns and money. If I am not shooting anyone why does the government need to know about my guns? Why does the tax system need to know how much money I have? Why cant I just pay a tax on those things I buy? Why does the government need to know my race?

    "I'm living in Europe where we don't have guns but still we have mostly honest governments that respect, and to some extent even fear, the people." I'm going to take a wait and see attitude on that comment. If history is any gage more than once the "Honest Governments" in Europe have managed to do things like kill 6 million Jews among other things. "Guns kill people, they don't create democracies. One should think you people (Americans) had learned that by now..." Oh really? A Question for you. What did the stupid Americans and the English use to rid Europe of the Nazi's? Flowers? Love? Kisses? "A government should fear the people, not because the people might kill them, but because the people have the power to remove them. If the government has to be removed with guns you already live in a dictatorship." Why didn't the Jew in Germany remove the Nazi Government? Why didn't the rest of you do it without guns? When the settlers came to America it was to leave European tyranny and oppression. The European governments did not let go easy. Our ancestors had to use guns to break free. You call us stupid and you don't seem to have the foggiest clue of European or American history. I am watching history repeat itself as Sharia law continues to gain ground in Europe. Judging by your attitude towards us stupid Americans the lives we lost in world war fighting in Europe were a complete waste. I will never let my sons and grandsons shed their blood to remove fascism in Europe. This time I think we should just sit back and watch you use your people power to remove the next "Honest Government" that starts killing homosexuals, Catholics, Jews, Mentally and Physically Handicapped. Best of luck to you sir. Stupid American

  22. Sheeple... on Roswell UFO Festival · · Score: 1

    I have been to Roswell, NM and have seen all the exhibits. The stories are actually a brilliant idea hatched by a couple of local businessmen to resurrect a failing local economy. It has worked perfectly and continues to bring in more and more money to the Roswell economy. And yes I recommend going there and enjoying the sites. It was fun. It is also close to the Carlsbad Caverns which is well worth the trip.

  23. ID cards had nothing to do it on National ID May Have Killed Immigration Bill · · Score: 1

    I think most people like myself that were opposed to this bill were not opposed to it on the basis of the ID card amendment. We just feel that 20 years of broken promises to control immigration was not a good basis to trust more promises from our elected officials. The other side would like you to thing that we are all racists. I am married to a Korean immigrant and my kids are mixed race. I don't hate my wife and kids no matter what anyone would like you to believe. The true racists are the ones that have no problem exploiting immigrants as nothing more than "Cheap Labor". It is not racist to want people to live in the light of day by encouraging legal behavior. Lets increase the number of legal immigrants to this country by 15 or 20 million so that these people can come in and quickly rise up to your level and mine in society instead of relegating them to cleaning toilets and mowing lawns.
