I could certainly live without seeing it and know several (heterosexual) people who could also live without it. If in replacement we get a good film. We only expect it now because it's one of the VERY FEW redeeming qualities of the movie.
You say that, yet the rest of your post puts Hollywood down with no mention of Bollywood's faults, which (in a Hollywood vs Bollywood discussion) implies Bollywood is better.
I think carrying my license around can allow terrorists to use it against me. Can stores be forced to stop asking me for it?*
* I don't actually live in America so this doesn't happen, but I see people complaining about it all the time so I assume it happens somewhat regularly. And yes, I know technically stores aren't allowed to force you and probably won't if you kick up ENOUGH of a stink, but the point is such laws often protect the government(s power), not the people(s rights).
There will be no shortage of ambulance chasing lawyers suing the town if something happened and the town had provided info of its own free will, as opposed to be compelled to by a court order.
If the lawyer could win (see above on whether or not it could), then this says a lot on the current state of America.
This whole worship of cultural relativism makes me sick. How can it be anything but unacceptable that people are beaten and horribly discriminated against just because they happen to be a female?
How can it be anything but unacceptable that people are denied equal rights just because they happen to be homosexual?
How can it be anything but unacceptable that people are sent to jail drugs where they are raped (and a lot of people's response is "eh, whattaya gunna do about it?") just for using drugs?
If you agree with my examples then great, but many many many people who do agree with your statement but wouldn't agree with mine.
For those that believe that Iran (or any other country) should be invaded because of how women are treated, just think about America being invaded because of how you treat homosexuals and druggies.
It's true though. It's VERY unusual to find someone who uses an Amiga. Well our current computers will be the equivalent in 2038. I'm sure by then, they would have worked out what would cause the problem (if they don't know already) and create a solution into computers and/or OS's.
The reason is they want you to buy it twice. Thanks but no thanks.

Google is censored in North America (or at least the US portion), see their dmca policy. See my post below and whether or not I believe it's evil (I'm against their DMCA policy more then their Chinese policy because the DMCA affects me. If I were Chinese I may have a different opinion).
By the way, those fanatics you talked about is a foreign government. With that sort of respect it's no wonder America isn't the most popular country right now. No, not a flame. An observation.

Oh no. It works. It works at pissing off all the honest customers. Does it piss off hackers and non-customers? Hell no.
that Westerners want to see.

that popularity automatically denotes inferority.

that -insert handsome young male Hollywood actor name here- is the next 007...
No, no. I heard they were considering him, but he's just too uptight to work with and takes weed on the set.
Case in point, when was the last time you attended a major opening of a bollywood film in japan? That is what I thought.
Oh yes, that'd be it. Not the fact that most of the people here live in America. Oh no. That's merely a co-incidence.
that's what we have indies for.
You mis-spelt pornos. Unless you meant indi-pornos, in which case you have WAY too much meaningless plot.
The scientists/naturalists/etc of the past may have had a more primitive understanding of the universe, but they weren't stupid.
That also explains why the statue is anatomically correct and has his thing showing.
Yeah I think asians and blacks are cool too. They're surprisingly just like the rest of us :) Most of the time anyway.
Unless it's google.
But, hey, I could just be talking out my ass.
Don't worry, Bush has that problem too
But not the laws of the English language?
Newspapers and TV news aren't really just about news - they're a form of entertainment.
And I don't think I'm alone when I say I hope that will be their downfall.
We wouldn't need to travel to space to mine if it weren't for those damn hippies complaining about killing off the wildlife.
How does it feel to be a Micro$oft $hill?

But as some American states believe in the death penalty that's alright. Or are only politicians capable of being wrongly sentenced?

Only on slashdot would someone suggest rebellion because of a lack of internet access.
Wow, I never knew Apple had a right to sue a company into oblivion. I guess that doesn't hurt free speech.
True, but most of them weren't French. They just liked to bung on the accent.
