Not very tolerant it seems, you don't seem to tolerate the rich at all and their ideologies at all do you?
So why should they tolerate you?
Your analogy made no sense. Homeless people ranting about people being slaves to their jobs? What does that even mean?
I've not once heard of a homeless man ever consider people slaves to their jobs. Perhaps working men considering them slaves.... but homeless? It makes no sense. Most homeless people have had a bad turn in life, many due to illness, loss in the family, and other factors that caused them to spiral down. And people couldnt help them, or didnt help them.
Its never one thing or the other.
It's a little bit of everything mixed with hypocrisy.
The only problem i have with the rich is that i'm not rich. Thats honesty for ya. It goes deeper than that. It has so little to do with buying multiple houses, cars and wanting play things...
It really does.
I guess i should just suck it up and start a buisness that exploits its workers, over charges for products, and take in millions just because i can.
I dont know. I was raised with an educational system that taught us slavery was wrong, that all men and women are equal...
I want honest politicians who are devoted to upholding the constitution and the bill of rights. At present, that's more the Democrats then the Republicans, but I'm very cynical and don't really trust the Democrats at all to actually do this, especially given Tipper Gore, Hillary Clinton, Joe Lieberman, and so many others
I agree with this completely. I dont trust the democrats but atleast they arent the republicans.
Thats a shitty situation to be in. We just dont get much in the form of political choices.
And i have voted 3rd party candidates for president...
Something has to change with our political system. The parties while big, dont really represent anyone. They instead try to represent everyone. I find it histerical that Hillary is now using "GOD" in her speeches more now than ever.
I find it histerical that any politician use "GOD". They know what they're doing, and the few that see through it, arent a threat to their power.
You have to wonder, is she a crooked sneaky person for her own good? a greater cause? Is she willing to say anything to get into power to try to shape us back to the bill of rights?
This is how convoluted politics has become. With so few choices, the tactics used to win are just that. We are left wondering.
I mean look at the republicans and Bush's platform. Smaller government, fiscal conservative, God loving christian.... blah blah blah. None of which is true.
So who does stand by what they say? We only have two choices, and i think the parties will give us anyone to make us think "this is the one" Just like many thought Bush was theirs (i never did)
I certainly do not trust Hillary. Leiberman as Gore's VP was scary enough. But Bush is probably worse...
again, what a shitty situation. 2 party nonsense. I voted for Ralph that year. EVerything he ran on became true in the Bush administration...
Let's not forget Al Gore's wife Tipper... she vehemently led the crusade for the 'obscene lyrics' music warning labels. Wonder what she'd have done if Myspace were around in the early '90s.
Absolutely. That has never left my mind, the whole PMRC shit.. Its insane.
A liberal should be for liberty, and that i consider myself a liberal in that light.
Hillary, Leiberman and Tipper Gore are liberal in the sense that they are at liberity to use her power to dictate their world view.
They do not respect true liberty. They have their idea of how we should live, in a "fuckless" world, meaning nothing offensive to them, or those that give them power.
So they pander to the fears of child molestation, and bad language, linking all of our worst fears together under the guise of "for the children"
Like it or not, every child in America will come home from school with a new word or two.
Raise the kids right, and dare i say, they wont be talking to horny adults online. They will of course be talking about sex to their peers... like it or not.. tough shit, thats the way to game goes in life.
How they DEAL with that... is the product of your parenting.
I'm not sure if you're taking a shot at the progressives or not. I do consider myself progressively minded in that i want to see us embrace tolerance of each others freedoms and move on as a nation to a more mental awareness of the concept, America.
I just want a politican that has the courage to talk to people in a frank manner, with honest intentions and concern.... their actions upholding the bill of rights.
"We've all heard stories of children on some of these social websites meeting up with dangerous predators."
We've all heard stories of women in Las Vegas casino, elevators giving up their money and cowaring in fear on the floor whenever a black celebrity says "hit the floor"
Doesnt make it true.
Kind of like the bullshit we teach our children in schools about living in a free country that formed out of the desire to escape oppression.
Things like "The American Dream"...
We tell each other so many stories... most of which arent real at all. A congressman is just going to recite hear say just as you and i would say "oh 80% of this country loves fried chicken dude!"
We dont know thats true... we assume cause we hear things... someone once said "dam fried chicken is good" So we automatically make it 80% of the people in our brains some how.
Some how it becomes reality.
Any congressman in fear of child predators on the internet is simply a fool. There are no more, or less child predators than there ever were before in life. Nothing has changed.
I dont want a child proof country...
I didnt have a child, nor do i care about anyone elses anymore than i would any other human being. They are not special, they are just another human being.
Adults are just as valuable and we should cater to them because we are all live in adulthood most of our lives.
That is why its a parents job to take care of those first 17 or so years
Not mine.
So the Majority Leader can make his little laws that pray on the fearfull the weak. He can tell his stories and we'll all listen because he knows better than you and I. He's educated, sophisticated, and powerfull. Surely he knows whats best for us.
Hillary Clinton and Lieberman are definatly against free speech and expression. They have both launched wars against videogames, the arts, media and the internet in reguards to free speech and ideas.
I would hate to see Hillary as a president. Leiberman may lose his seat soon in CT. I hope so.
I'm not a republican or a conservative... I just hate these 2 people, and want to see real American's elected to office. The kind that stand up for free speech, expression and have the fucking courage to tell Americans "NO" like the big babies we are. We need someone to remind us all of what AMERICA is about...
Tolerance... freedom... and a peaceful way of life... not dictated by religion, corporations, or wealth...
I'm tired of the two Americas... the one for the rich, and the one for the poor... Where the laws dont really apply to the rich... and the poor are looked upon as criminals by default.
Hillary and Joe are the kind of wealthy social elites that are disconnected from reality. Their idea of "America" is their happy wealthy communities, where they feel above those of us who enjoy violent movies, porn, and all kinds of language...
They feel they have to save us from ourselves.... they know better than we do.... They know what America should be for you and I...
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech......or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble......and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Congress, and Angry Mothers... I want a bullet in them all.
Come Xmas time, Moms and Dads all around America will be weighing in the options...
Playstation 3, or a tank of gas.
Tank of gas wins... Sorry kids.
PS3 for $600?! It better come with solid gold dual shock controllers.
Sony has some nerve as a company. Consider this on launch day, you will be forced to buy them in bundles with 3 games and an extra controller for $1000
How much with the PS3 be in Japan? Is the price compariable to the US price or are they just using the old US as a cash battery again?
I hate to generalize (Ok, I love it, but pretend for a second I don't) but our society today needs some humor. We hear "terrorist this" and "gas prices that" and "x troops killed today in Iraq by insurgents..." every day. We seem so drenched in sadness and tragedy sometimes we forget what we are: free!
Sir, Please run for president because i want to vote you into office.
This is exactly correct. I think its important that we have fun and remember we are free people. This group of 80 "agents" are a reminder that we are to enjoy life, no matter what it throws us.
Sometimes it pays to be silly and have fun. Walk backwards down an up escalator just because you can.... Whistle while you work... or wear a silly hat while everyone looks at you like a mad man.
The truth is.. those that dare to stand out, enjoy life. Congrats to these people. They were respectful as can be, knew the law, caused no harm, stole nothing, but instead decided to have a little fun in life, harmless, albiet perhaps confusing to the store but... harmless.
I do think at the end of the day, one of the men should have come back to explain and thank them for their patients and hopefully everyone could enjoy the laugh.
Cheers to those who stand up and enjoy life... cause god knows it sucks.
China does scares me. Is that where we're heading?
We're already there. We've been there for years. Do you really think we have a democracy? Do you really think we're any better than any other political system?
Maybe we are by a very slight margin, but we've had black slavery, chinese slavery, and now we want legalized mexican slavery.... we abuse our people, our corporatations use us as a cash battery while giving little quality of anything in return.
Who says we're the best? We do? Does that make it valid?
The chinese could be saying the same thing... I'm sure they're bitching about things internally but so are we...
We have a choice of 2 parties... Thats not a democracy, thats an "either or" dictatorship.
6 billion? I cant imagine how those rich film producers even live with their million dollar paychecks...
Oh my, the gas prices must be killing them. How can they afford to live in this country with only 50 to 1 billion per film...
I just cant imagine how hard it is to survive in Beverly Hills these days... It really must be getting ugly there. I mean only 5 bentleys... and 6 houses around the world?
Gosh. It almost makes living on 30k to 60k seem impossible...
I'm sure glad we have illegal mexican slaves to pick up the work. You know when you exploit labor, this is what they do... they have no loyalty, and could careless about pirating your movies because they arent being paid enough to live a good life, or afford the gas needed to get to and from work, and your stupid movie theaters...
Big fucking deal... WAH WAH WAH.. I'm RICH and you poor people are hurting me.
Do a real study... Study how much of the wealth is controlled by top 1% of the country. Study how much the average man is getting fucked by the government that no longer represents their interests. Study how the down fall of civilizations happen...
Study why people dont give a shit about millionaires, and in many cases... billionaires.
WAH WAH WAH...
PAY MY GAS BILL, MY HEALTH CARE, MY PHONE, MY HEATING, MY INSURANCE.... You think i give a shit about your 6 billion...
I love Corey Yuen, been a fan of his HK films for a long time now, and when i saw his name attached to this a year ago, i was just sad:)
This cant possibly be good, and yet Corey is directing it. I hate seeing non martial artists, play martial art roles. It always looks bad.
The only thing that can save this film is Corey Yuen's camera and editing work. Its just too bad the talent involved and the whole "dead or alive" game genre is going to ruin it.
I'm all for hot chicks doing martial arts, and there are plenty of really hot real martial artists out there in asia. There are some really talented girls on the Beijing wushu team that could make an all girl martial art flick really shine with Corey at the helm.
I'll still see this mess sadly, cause i'm an action junkie.
But i recommend everyone see films like Tom Yum Gong, Ong Bag, New Police Story, Drunken Master 2, Once Upon a Time in China 1 and 2, Fist of legend, Shaolin Temple 1, 2 and 3, Hero, Fearless, Police Story 1 and 2, Project A, 1 and 2...
Go see those great films... and witness what a real martial art film is all about.
Hot chicks with natural flexibility != a martial artist.

One man with lots of guns.... will never beat a government :)

It takes a lot of men with courage first... The lot of guns helps, but wont do dick against the airforce
Or do you think that hunting rifle can shoot down a tomahawk missle?

They always blaim someone when they're trying to weasel more control over the market.

If apple had any balls, they could release OSX for all AMD and Intel PCs and put the big hurt on Windows.
This is the moment to strike. This is the only time they could possibly take over the PC world...
Apple seems to have no problem writing a complex OS. They have a GPU accelerated UI, they even ported it to intel cpus...
Apple seems to have very little trouble while microsoft would appear to be incapable of writing an operating system.
