  1. Re:probably should have been lowered anyway on United States Loses S&P AAA Credit Rating · · Score: 1

    Can you cite an example of 'left wing' media other than the Daily Show? You gave traditional news media examples for the other political positions but not one for the left. A left wing comedy programme simply amounts to being a fun exercise freedom of speech compared to something more authoritative; something we'd sit up and take notice, not just laugh to. Where for example is your equal to the Guardian newspaper that the Daily Show should be complementing? You haven't really contradicted Yoda's Mum point.

    I'm not contradicting or saying you're wrong, but it seems you think the 'Daily Show' is a good enough example. As I 'European' I don't think you're there just yet.

    Btw, I knew the answer, I just wanted to point out how self-serving people are. $6 is like £3x12= £36 over here, (price of a DVD box set or 10 Starbuck's sandwiches in a YEAR!) and people are justifying the river they are crying because a TV executive made them feel bad? Now consider the US population are being LIED to by politicians, I know where the real insult is.

    Says a lot about America when 'spontaneous co-operation and yielding to others' is considered un-American. Not sure how being unfamiliar with something is actually a bad thing or a case for an argument, everything is unfamiliar to a person as they progress through life.

    Don't worry though, this generation will die off, just like the generation that didn't understand the Internet, and then the rest of us can carry on with our lives.

    Don't forget those in the NO camp said the AV system in Australia meant it was mandatory to vote. When that wasn't the case, it was just a separate rule in Australia for voting. It didn't mean voting would become mandatory here as well.

    Android Fanboys include all devices so why shouldn't Apple fanboys? If we go off a per device basis, then the iPhone with iOS is most popular. Anyway, it doesn't matter. Apple deliberately include all iOS devices together for their potential with developers. Also now with iMessages, Skype, Viber, are you telling me the iPad ISN'T essentially a phone? Apple are deliberately blurring the lines.

    He is human now after he was ire-inserted back into the timeline but he keeps the 2000 years of memories because he re-remembered the Doctor when Amy recalled him in the very last moments of the final episode of season 5. I think Rory asks about it in the first episode of season 6.

    Disagree, Amy's slightly a step higher than Rose but that's not giving her much. But Amy is a big step down from Martha and at least Donna wasn't self-centered. Rory makes the better anchor and more grounded in reality, not getting carried away in a fantasy. Besides, what's wrong with having a permanent male companion? Mickey was a joke at first but matured and actually all the male characters seem better written. Amy ruins the show for me.

  21. Re:The Doctor needs a break too on Daleks To Be Given 'A Rest' From Dr. Who · · Score: 1

    All the shows I like (All three StarGate series, Deep Space Nine and Doctor Who) have problems within themselves. It's because I care about consistency within the mythos. What should I do, not watch any of them? I have to accept sadly nothing is perfect. Even if I could produce on Doctor Who and fix what I think needs fixing, somebody will dislike my changes as well). I could rant on about other aspects of Doctor Who if I wanted, but I won't and it is still better than the usual crud on offer.

  22. Re:The Doctor needs a break too on Daleks To Be Given 'A Rest' From Dr. Who · · Score: 1

    Totally disagree, this season has been pretty good apart from the yawn fest that was the pirate episode. Though it isn't perfect, but what season is? I do feel a little cheated by the fourth episode as I thought we would meet other Time Lords, other than that, I think it's been pretty coherent as a series. Though I should mention, it was soooo predictable that the ganger Doctor wasn't going to survive beyond the story it was introduced in. It felt like a cop out that those two gangers *had* to stay behind and stop the monster coming through the door. It was hardly a tight situation so everybody could make it back to the TARDIS. Oh actually while I'm nitpicking, didn't it seem forced that the humans rejected the gangers right off the bat. My reaction would be like the Doctor's, fucking cool! A double!

    What Moffat might be trying to do with the entire season is add some value to them so we have to re-watch them again. Like Fight Club, it deserved a second and third viewing because the ending changed the entire premise of the story.

    Amy Pond annoys me btw, I'm glad she won't feature much in the next episode, time for Rory to stand up and become a more central character as I like him very much. He has a heart and doesn't seem as self-centred as Amy (he was moved by the TARDIS dying in the previous story). Rory also isn't the racist Amy is.
