while I agree that the statement is a rationalization your example is extreme and is likely to begin the long continuing argument over whether copying constitutes theft. Which is an arguement I dont wish to get into.
While this may happen in alot of movies I believe Meet the Robinsons proves that flying objects are not required in movies to make the 3D effect worth having. In Meet the Robinsons the 3d is used mostly to ad the feeling of depth to the scene. In fact, the thing that came "flying close to the viewers" was the Disney 3D logo before the movie.
Its things like this that point out a glaring double standard. Did we forget the RIAA exec whos own kids downloaded music and were "punished enough" by a stern lecture. If the RIAA really wanted publicity they would have put those kids on the stand. That would make an example!
A real marine should be able to carry a chain saw, a pistol, a shot gun, a chain gun, a plasma rifle, and a rocket launcher. Each with several cases of ammo.
Now they are making it even easier to access. I think this is a great move. however it will be an expensive undertaking. I just hope that they make this access to the public, not just global universities and research centers.
Damn that Film Actors Guild. The FAG's demands make it so hard for people these days.
What?....Screen Actors you say....oops *mumbles about Stone and Parker*
>> While I realize that these people may be the minority of their total population, the easiest way to deal with it is deportation of all illegals.
>Good idea, let's send all our criminals to another country. Maybe... Australia?
Deportation has been a solution for this issue for a long time. I see no issue in sending people back to the country they came from if they refuse to follow the process to enter this country legally.
Its not even an oxymoron. An oxymoron is two words put together with opposet meanings, like: Dodge Ram, Bitter Sweet, or Windows Stability. The correct term here would be hypocricy.
Why is serving in the military something to be ashamed of anyway? Just because you dont agree with a war does not make the people fighting in it stupid or even naive. There are many good and honest people serving in the militaries of many countries. Yes there have been people in armies that do commit crimes. This has happened in many places all over the world. You cannot however judge the whole based on the actions of a few. Many decent people have given their time and their lives in defense of a country they believed in even though they didnt always agree with or understand the reasons for the war they fought. These people are in my opinion to be honored for their service to you. You can debate the reasons for fighting all you want. But as long as the fighting is happening, you should be supporting those that do it with honor and integrity in defense of you and your country. And before you say anything about a war not being in defense of anything, remember that those serving did not start it, and once it has been started all they can do is either refuse to do anything and get attacked anyway, or give their all in support of their country. If you dont like the why or the how of a war or any military action you can call into question those responsable. But make sure you blame only those responsable.
PS. I am not in the military nor ever have been. I just respect those who are.

That would be similar to a car battery Core Charge.

I believe the idea is to not get that immature.

Maybe its more about hating something because its popular and you can't be.
