Very true. Jackie Chan has lead an anti piracy movement in HK for years now with little success. He's even bought actors back from the triads who had them under contract. Zhang Yimou though is Beijing and he's state funded. China has built up a studio in Beijing for his films. Outside film companies help fund the productions as well but... he has had quite backing from the chinese government if i remember.
Anyways... i dont like buying things from china because i dont trust them much at all, especially things you can ingest:)
I hope he attacked his claims with a chain saw... Christ! Enough RIAA. We get it, dont illegal trade your terrible music. We get it, but we dont give a shit.
No. This is wrong. You're falling into the wrong trap. You see I pay my own healthcare, and i have a chronic disease. I pay $750 a month for bluecross blue shield... and the medicine i take every month.. often lasts about a week or so. (I have Psoriasis). Try putting tubes of creams on your entire body 2 times a day, when each tube is half the size of your average tooth paste container.
Granted the medicine i get is insanely expensive.. and Insurance does come through but i pay out the ass for it each month.
My insurance 5 years ago, was $250... I still had the same life long illness then... Why is it so expensive now? Why is it that i saw it rise from $250, to $300, to $350, to $450,... to $750... and i'm sure it will rise again.. because it was only this year it went from $650 to $750.
Americans arent being paid more... So... why do they think we can even pay these costs?
I can pay them... but i'm not making a whole lot of money... because my illness has put a hell of a hurt on my carear which i'm highly reguarded at btw.. but sometimes i just cant work cause i'm in server pain or discomfort.
The prices are going up, and wages are not.
The sick DO pay at the ass... and we DO get our rates raised...
The insurance companies are out of control. They are in this to profit, not help people like me...
HEALTH CARE should be about just that HEALTH and CARE. Perhaps we are just cruel fucking people that deserve to simply die anyways. No one would treat their daughter or son this cruely... but in a collective anonymous way, we all these companies (other humans) to treat us like shit for profit.
Universal NON PAYER, NON PROFIT healthcare is the only way.
Lets just bomb another country and spend trillions more on killing other people! Lets go America.. WE CAN DO THIS. I'll start the chant...
USA... USA... USA...
Its really funny how most Americans ridicule the French, and yet they take care of their people. Oh the Canadians do too, as well as most of the European countries, and Japan...
Only we put life second, and corporations, bombs, tanks and airplanes first. We have to kill things apparently.. be it fictitious enemies or ourselves. We'll get the job done. LETS DO IT USA!.. GO AMERICA!
hehe... or the toxic mouthwash, the cardboard dumblings, the fake big burthas, the deadly baby formulas, the fake rabies vacines, the dead wheat glutens...
I've been thinking about this quite a bit myself. Stop shopping at the Walmarts folks. Stop buying these shitty chinese products that contain god knows what the fuck is in them.
It is serious shit, and these buisnesses arent held responsible, and neither is our government. It continues because money matters above all, and that why you see these fake chinese products, and that is why we see our government failing.
It really is up to the people. But 1 fucking person does not make a difference. It probably is impossible to avoid buying chinese made products now, but DO try to buy American made products whenever possible please.
I think a massive surveillance camera network would create a safer, more open society ... where the citizens are afraid of every move they make. Great world to live in. What the fuck are we doing?
I absolutely hate London's spy cam network. I find it sick. I expect this of England historically but i do not expect us to copy them! Didnt we fight to not be like England?
America is dead. I like England in general, so i guess its not all that bad hehehe... I for one welcome our all seeing, all knowing, constitution killing, lobbiest controlled government.
"These scumbags are all adults. They engage in sexually explicit conversations with someone they believe is a 15 year-old child, which more often than not includes them sending grainy pictures of their genitals and whatnot." Thats not quite true. Chris Hanson said recently on the Opie and Anthony show that they dont use 15 year old personas because 15 year old is borderline. They use a 10-13 year old persona.
There are plenty of sexually active 15 to 17 year olds. I dont know if they should be sleeping with 50 year olds... but i knew a girl who was 14 and dating a 21 year old in the military when i was in highschool and her parents were ok with it.
Exactly. There is no real crime there. I'm quite suspect of Datelines intentions. Dateline has a vested interest in enticing these people to show up at their "house". Their tv show depends on the influx of guys showing up.
Some of the folks that show up definatly have had records... but some folks are first timers... and no one even knows if they would have gone through with it, or not... Which they couldnt have anyways because there was no actual child invovled.
It is a TV show that makes lots of money. I'm suspect of their intentions.
WOW.. You really believe that it is OK to perform illegal acts to catch people who would commit illegal activity??!!! Talk about the breakdown of society and law! Note i said "would commit ilegal activity" That does not imply that they did, or will... but possibly would...
I might rob a bank... I might even go to a bank intending too... but once i get to the bank i might say to myself "This is wrong, i shouldnt do this.. what am i doing here? I'm ashamed", and then just go home without committing the crime. Should i be arrested based on my first thought? Or am i innocent because i decided it was wrong and i shouldnt do it.
Good for the Hackers. Fuck NBC and their bullshit. They wouldnt have presented a fair story anyways. They were out to paint all hackers in a bad light and produce yet another sensational story which i'm sure would have ended up with the word terrorism in it.
Dateline should stick to entrapment. It seems that they're far better at entrapping lonely horny guys and ruining their lives for tv ratings.
This is all bullshit. Every last bit of it. So once we get this super censorship chip, can we finally disband the FCC? We can form a new electronics regulatory organization for frequency regulation etc, but the FCC is considered by the average dumb American to be the Censor for America. Unfortunately they are right, but by law... the FCC is wrong, illegal, and corrupt.
This is America is it not?
I hate America. Our politicians are criminals. Our people are passive. Our rights are lies, and money = freedom. There is no equality. AND you fools keep voting for the same fucking criminals year after year expecting a different fucking outcome! And then you bitch and moan about it.
I have given up on the dam place. I'll vote 3rd party always but it wont matter because so many of "US" keep eating up the 2 party bullshit. Too many believe that the presidential parent will take care of us all.
and hes also the son of a fucking president.. he's far far from being an outsider:)
Re:I've gone with Blu-Ray
on
Blue Blu-ray
·
· Score: 1
I've switched to Blu-Ray mainly because of the PS3. It is definatly worth it. The PS3 appears to be picking up some steam (although still quite dead in the game department as of this month) PS3 is a great buy due to its Blue disc support and game support. The games will be coming...
Heavenly Sword looks to be a killer game.
So far i own 4 Blu-ray movies but.. its definatly the format i'll base my collection on. The porn industry does matter, and it is about time Sony woke up to it. Nice to see they did.

guilty until proven innocent my friend... remember.... WE MUST remember. oh wait... its the other way around.
I'm still wondering where all of those 9/11 donations went...
The Red Cross is a scam.
True.. but if i remember.. it looks like the lighting was fairly nice. So he either bounced the flash of the ceiling or hes got some strobes :)
Look at his girl! Come on. This fake as can be. Notice the well exposed photos too. Is her Boyfriend an expert at photography too?
HOT CHICK was a dead give away. FAKE.
I hope he attacked his claims with a chain saw... Christ! Enough RIAA. We get it, dont illegal trade your terrible music. We get it, but we dont give a shit.
flamebait? Oh boy!

Sounds like America fucking Americans once again. Enjoy the country, we built it this way.

Because they are in power, and the republican dictatorship will continue beyond 08. ... In the form of Democrats.

So could one sue Sony for making one a criminal?
Is this a state owned broadband pipe? Will they censor the pipe, under the same bullshit the FCC uses to control the "people's" airwaves?
