  1. Re:Is $30 really that bad? on Internet Access 10 Kilometers High Up In The Air · · Score: 1

    In a comparitive way as to the cost of food and wine then its not really that bad atall , what is $30 in food a meal and a couple bottles of wine which i would have otherwise paid to suffer the flight .
    On the other hand the food and drink on airplanes is Completly overpriced and well im sure you can figure out the problems with the ethics of pricing it so high to a captive audiance

    True, but i pause to comment on other religions as I may not belive in them but i still consider them religions to some degree .
    Im in Germany so im on easy footing here saying they are not a religion and have been ruled to not be .
    And i take a strong issue with the bastardisation of the word science , i think its offensive the way they abuse the term , however i would far rather they called themselves load-of-bo*l*ocksoligy as its far more fitting then the sullying of the term science

    i thought the goal of a church was to spread its faith , where does a copyright case fit into that , i could understand perhaps if they tried a libel or slander case against someone , but copyright ? does that not defeat the point of spreading the word of whatever it is they belive.

    I would not call scientoligy a church , I do know the history of the scam and its amazing how many people got dragged into this hoax , the work of a sub par sci-fi writter trying to make a bit of cash(perhaps it is a church then j/k)

    With the strength of the Dutch high court behind the decision i find it unlikly a reversal will hapen , which is a dammed good thing .
    "Although copyright resides under Article 1 of the First Protocol of EDHR and can therefore be regarded as a human right, this does not exempt copyright from being balanced against the right to freedom of information.""

    I have been thinking of moving to Holland for a few years and I feel I may just do it eventualy if the court keeps churning out decisions like this.
    Freedom of information is very importent to secure an even footing for people in this world , We do not need to create another poverty line .Most importantly Companys / organisations should not be able to sue people into submission to keep all their dirty little secrets quiet.

    Mod me down if you must , but scientolgy is a scam and from storys i have read
    it is also a dangerous organisation . I am thankfull that Germany disallows the Organisation charitable status here , i dont agree with some of germanys policys
    on these matters but sometimes it is for the best

    well to be fair Eisner is a git ..
    however ,
    the winnie the pooh cartoons have been going on for longer , not to mention how they revised the grimms tales etc and added a sugary gloss which frankly rips out alot of the meaning.
    I was raised reading these books or having them read to me and it is just wrong that they changed the core meaning of the story to fit it in to some sugary gloss fantasy ideoligy they have going , Perhaps im speaking a little from the cuff and letting my feelings over-throw my judgment but i strongly feel that if you can not stay true to the meaning of a work then you should not try to recreate it and should do something entierly new.
    (yes that also applys to lucas remakes )

    Read the jungle book , or some of the other classics that have had a disny treatment . Not all Disny works do this ,, Fantasia is brilliant for example,, (a creation not an alterd work) but most do .

    Im stuborn as hell sometimes and very opinionated so i appoligise if i offend anyone in my occasional(read:regular) rants .Though this is one i dont see my opinion ever changing ( Note: i dont count the pixar films as realy disny )

    Classics should remain as such
    We dont need more awfull remaks (Time-machine,planet of the Apes)
    Or stupid special effects added as an excuse to hike the charges of a new DVD release(Lucas film)
    Or books striped of the core meaning turned into an L.C.D film(IROBOT, Aladin etc)

    We do however need great origional works or well done conversions (Brazil, The origional 3 star wars films,The usual suspects,Monty python movies and many more)
