I dont know the whole love part seemed really muted! Everyone I saw the movie with agreed that other than the last dialog between Kenobi and Vadar no real emotion was really conveyed. Maybe some decent 'acting' by yoda was in there but that credit goes to a geek at a terminal somewhere..
One more thing to consider, when adjusted you end up with it at position 19, far lower than just box office alone, It is below all three of the origional movies..
To be fair, we had no clue how far lucas had fallen and many of us just saw it because we wanted to see all the episodes. He almost made of for the in "revenge of the sith" other than really flat acting it was a pretty good movie...
Actually Riker is the one who needs to give up his keys to the ship.. Every time that man took command (ok I sure not every but most) the sip got damaged, heck he was in command when 'D' finally bit it... He bang up Picards' ride real good.
And China and others are raising a stink over it, here the US has not banned all foreign textiles just limited from one nation. Now China has cut out all together competition in their software industry and yet wants to export things to other nations..
This is a piece of government policy. If you go to China, you can bring Microsoft, you just can't sell it to the government. This ONLY effects the Chinese government.
Hmm and in china this includes all industry, all banks, all airlines, all media, all..... China has no serious private economy.. So this is a ban for all but home users who pirate all the software at any rate.
Building your own code base from scratch is really not going to be easy.
They are not going to build from scratch they will rip off Linux (and I say rip off because they will not follow GPL).
While the US is slammed for using tariffs to stop dumping of steel onto our market so that their own steel industry wont die.
This is just one more sign that China should not be treated like Europe or the US.. Imagine if the US said that they were revamping thir policy around textiles and that no textiles could be purchased from outside the American industry. After all we are just trying to build an industry at home..
. As stated by at least one poster above, getting caught urinating in a public place will get you labelled a "sex offender" in Florida.
I dont argue that in cases like that the definition of sex offender should change, and I have said as much on this thread. But I think it is better, and ore likely to change that definition than to say sex offencders should not have to notify..
That's not the Boy Scouts I know, at least not as practiced in the United States. They've successfully gone to court to protect their "No Icky Girls" rule, either as members or leaders, and have similarly defended their anti-gay stance as well.
Yea that whole freedom of association is a real pain sometimes right... Dont these silly people know that only means youre free to associate when youre not offending somebody..
Seriously, in a day and age when the US military accepts women and practices plausible deniability with homosexuals, the BSA seems to serve their "moralistic" masters well.
Military Government Agency, Boy Scouts Private agency. I guess we should force the NAACP to accept loud vocal KKK members right?
he scouts were definitely racist, and in many countries fascist, in the 1930s. That is heavily documented
And so was planned parenthood, your post was flamebait because it was put up there for no other reason than to offend. PP gets a pass on its history but the scouts are always dragged through the mud because they dont get into the post modern humanist game..
Which means, In non-mathematical use, the "lowest"--least useful, least advanced, or similar--member of a class or set which is common to things that relate to members of that class. For instance, ASCII characters are the lowest common denominator for computers, in that this set is very limited, but practically every modern computer can interpret binary data into these characters.
Hey youre the one who said the lowest common denominator should set the moral standards, what you dont think that could mean someone lower than you? Look everything in youre speech indicates youre practically swimming in post modern humanism, good for you, its gotta be great to think that there is no higher authority than what you think is right and wrong. Your belief does not howeve change the truth, and if youre content with that so be it but God does not accept excuses, not from me and not from you...
The lowest common denominator would be just fine with me. After all, morality and ethics are designed to to help people live togehter, not bring them closer to some phantom god.
That would probabally be phedophilles, glad to know youre ok with that.
This is really dumb. Please read about Jacob and his multple marriages. There are plenty of examples of Old Testament men "marrying" and "knowing" and finally abandoning women.
Also notice he did not have a one night stand with these women, he knew them and then was wed to them, with all the things that go along with that. He did not bed them then never see tham again.
By whos morals? people complain about others being morality police only to set themselves up as the same. My morals do not say its ok, and that carries no wieght whatsoever, just as youre statment based on your morals does.
If you really do, please find scriptual evidence. (Hint: people "married" and "knew" each other within minutes minutes of meeting each other all the time in the Old Testament.)
Corret, you got me on that one. I should say casual sex which is not done within marrage. "knew" is of course used for Sex. That being said how many people today have sex within knowing someone fifteen minutes with teh intention of marrage? If they do than no its not a sin sorry for not being clear.
Why is this guy trash? On what basis do you judge him that way? Doesn't the Bible say "Judge not, lest ye be judged?"
Ahh the wonderful misinterpritation of that passage, it never gets old. Im not judging him, im judging his actions, I may have done so poorly and I am sorry if you (or he) would be offended. As for the judge not lest ye be judged I am not saying I am anymore holy, or deserving of salvation than somebody screwing around in bars. but rather than take a few words out of context lets look at the whole passage:
"Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull the mote out of thine eye; and behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast the mote out of thy brother's eye."
Clearly, it is hypocritical judgment that this Scripture condemns. A hypocritical judgment is judging something for something of which you are also guilty - LIKE TELLING ME NOT TO JUDGE WHEN YOU ARE JUDGING ME AND MY "PURITAN" WAYS! There are other scripture text you may want to consider when taking the post moder approach to God and Sin
"Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment."
"Yea, and why not even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?"
"The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment."
"Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy."
"Take heed... If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him."
"He that is spiritual judgeth all things... Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Know ye not that we shall judge angels? How much more things that pertain to this life?"
But that's a legal interpretation, not a moral one.
Sorry thought it was a legal question. Morally while I think they ar eboth wrong I dont think either belongs in jail (17/25 is old enough to make adult decisions) but as others here have pointed out my morals dont mean squat to them.
Your earlier argument seemed to imply that this guy got what he deserved for being promiscuous - but if she'd been one year older, nothing would have happened at all.
I did not mean to give that impression. Still he is not a victom just a man who made a really stupid decision. In my post I also said:
I am not aware if this is covered by 'degrees' like murder, or if sex with a 17 yo is the same as sex with someone much younger. I would imagine there is some difference in the law..
in responce to
Until we clearly discriminate between horny young girls and clear violent attacks or pedophile cases, I will have a hard time with harsh regulations imposed post-prison sentenced (debt to society paid and all).
Maybe I should have worded that shoud be a difference and I would imagine....
I think it's ridiculous to prosecute, and absolutely ludicrous that this guy is labelled a "sex offender".
its not ridiculous to prosecute, the guy broke the law. Now laballing him a sex offender is way over the top..
there's at least one case of contracting HIV from a toothbrush (partner had bleeding from gum disease and aids).
How did the partner get aids? Look I am sure there is a freak case out there. There was a girl in the 80's who got it from a dentist and when she sued they played the 'shes a slut' card, she was examined and proved to be a virgin. I do think blood test beofre issuing maggage licenses is a good idea to prevent this. But the numbers have to be lower than lottery winners let alone lightning strikes..
Because she is underage and can not legally concent to having sex with someone above legal age. That does nto however release her from the consiquences of her action. Likely if this is her thing she may end up with something aweful, I pray that does not happen to either of the people involved.
Is she wrong in my view, yes but from a legal standpoint thats like blaming all age victoms of sexual assault who do not go kicking and screaming.
You've completely misinterpreted what has occurred here.
Not at all, people hate to be told they are wrong, they hate being judged despite the fact at the core of our nature we all judge (even saying its wrong to judge somebody is a judgement). I made a judgement call and people aer pissed about it...
People are reacting negatively to your prudish, Puritan attitude.
Ill say it again nobody here has seen me with my wife, so you have no basis to make that statement.
sex between consenting adults is OK. Whether they've been together for an hour or a decade.
Define 'OK', is it a crime? no. Is it wise to have sex with someone you knew an hour *NO*, is it a sin, yes. Does the fact its a sin prevent you from doing it (or should it legally) no.
This all stated when someone complained about a guy who hooked up with a girl he met in a bar and it turned out the girl was only 17. poor guy, how was he supposed to know? If the guy was not trash and had taken time to know someone before bedding them down he might have found out.
I even went so far in my OP to say I dont think his crime (legal) was very serious, that it should have a very low degree and that measures like the GPS rightfully should not apply (and for those who RTFA) it would not apply..
And repeating what society and college professors do make people thinkers? sorry buddy there is nothing new under the sun everything you say has been said..
Hmm so wanting to get to know somebody well before screwing them is an abnormally low sex drive but looking for bar trash ass is somehow mentally healthy?
