Oooh! I can quote people too! “Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” -- C.S Lewis

"From the U.S. population point of view - there are very few people that seem to be against reform. This bill in particular has basically been a power play between the two big parties if I understand correctly. It didn't really pan out brilliantly for either side - the Republicans get egg on their face because the other side got their bill through anyway, whilst the Democrats didn't really get the thing they wanted because they watered down their original bill to try and get Republican support. The lead up to why this silly thing got pushed through can basically be summarised as follows (stolen from Digg - it's a great summation): Democrats: "We need health care reform" Republicans: "Liberal fascists! Give us a majority and we'll do it better" Democrats: "Done, you have majority of both houses" 12 years later, health care is irrefutably worse in every respect for every single person in the United States Democrats: "We need health care reform" Republicans: "Liberal fascists! Americans are tired of partisan politics!" Democrats: "OK, let's compromise" Republicans: "OK, get rid of half your ideas" Democrats: "Done" Republicans: "Too liberal, get rid of half your ideas" Democrats: "Done" Republicans: "Too liberal, get rid of half your ideas" Democrats: "Done" Republicans: "Too liberal, get rid of half your ideas" Democrats: "Done" Republicans: "Too liberal, get rid of half your ideas" Democrats: "Done. Time to end debate" Republicans: "Too liberal, we need more debate, we will filibuster to prevent you from voting" Democrats: "OK, we'll vote--sorry guys, debate is ended. It's time to vote on the bill" Republicans: "Too liberal, we vote no" Democrats: "OK, it passed anyway--sorry guys." One month later Republicans: "Wait--wait, OK, we have less of a minority now so we can filibuster forever." Democrats: "Sorry, the bill already passed, we need it to pass the House now" Republicans: "But we have enough to filibuster" Democrats: "Sorry, the bill already passed, we need it to pass the House now" Republicans: "Liberal fascists! You haven't listened to our ideas! You've shut us out of this whole process!" Democrats: "Sorry, show us your proposal" Republicans: "Smaller government" Democrats: "That's not very specific" Republicans: "OK, here's our detailed proposal--It's our common-sense ideas we spent 12 years not enacting" Democrats: "OK, we'll add a bunch more of your ideas" Republicans: "Liberal fascists! You included all these back-room deals" Democrats: "OK, we'll get rid of the back-room deals" Republicans: "Liberal fascists! You're using obscure procedural tricks to eliminate the back-room deals!" Democrats: "No, we're using reconciliation, which both parties have used dozens of times for much larger bills" Republicans: "Liberal fascists! You're pressuring Congressmen to vote for your bill! Scandal!" Democrats: "It's called 'whipping', it's been done since 1789" Republicans: "Liberal fascists! Can't you see the American people don't want this?" Democrats: "This bill is mildly unpopular (40-50%), doing nothing (your proposal) is extraordinarily unpopular (4-6%)" Republicans: "We need to start over! We need to start over!" Democrats: "We should really consider voting--" Republicans: "Liberal fascists! Start over! Clean slate! Common-sense! America!" Democrats: "OK, suit yourselves, here it comes"" by Mr Thinly Sliced on Monday March 22, @08:24AM http://yro.slashdot.org/story/10/03/22/0929202/House-Passes-Massive-Medical-Insurance-Bill-219-212 I believe republicans have been pwned. Best summary EVER.

You forgot about the part where they pay people to get your coverage denied. I've heard of one person working for blue cross/shield who gets bonuses for each person he/she gets denied.

I don't want anyone taking this as sexist or anything derogatory in any way this is just an observation: Hm... Is it just me or is that on most of the posts of these homophobic people are either elderly women or women who look like they fell for too many men who turned out to be gay?

Comment on Plastic Man (2009-07-21 15:19:57)
Question: why is it that whenever there is a role for character to have that kind of ability its always given to a male character? I think I know of one occasion where this ability was given to a female character. I was always curios about this one because its one of the few that are almost always given to a male character. Whats up with that?

Comment on Terminator - TSCC Cast - With FOX Waterbottles (2009-05-14 17:46:41)
@Disgustipater: I had time to kill and I wanted to cover every angle lol @Kishi: exactly hence John saying in T3 "she fought it for 3 years just to make sure... just to make sure the world didn't end" and there were way too many inconsistencies with the actual series. For instance the ability to go FORWARD in time. according to wikipedia they use technology brought back by someone named "The Engineer" to go forward in time from 1999 to 2007 but according to the first movie if its metal it needs to be covered in living breathing tissue. So how the hell were the parts brought back?
Comment on Terminator - TSCC Cast - With FOX Waterbottles (2009-05-14 16:44:28)
@RSIxidor: This show sucked balls. The entire series went out to try and change events that already occurred. I'm sorry but that's not the way it works. You can't just make 3 movies and then make a TV series that totally contradicts the storyline those first 3 movies set in place. Also before you state that it takes place after the second movie but before the third don't because later on in the third movie its explained that at some point his mother is diagnosed with leukemia and dies after fighting it for 3 years. According to wikipedia the series takes place in 1999, this is also not possible because if you look at the plaque on the tomb wall of Sarah Connor it says she died in 1997 a full 2 years before the series takes place. Not to mention that T2 takes place in 1995 at which point John is 10 years old at this time so lets see.... some time between 1994 and 1995 his mother is diagnosed then she dies in 1997 and John hits the road at the age of 12.. (in the third movie he states he hit the road the day she died) when according to Sarah Connor Chronicles she never gets leukemia she never dies of said disease hell the whole 3rd movie doesn't happen instead they go to the future through the use of some tech brought back from the future by someone named "The Engineer" and plot to destroy sky net with the help of a new terminator model that is even more human than the previous ones. So essentially instead of the series being set after the second movie but before the third as suggested in the premise its actually an alternate timeline all together where the third movie never happened, and yes I am aware that the consulting producer stated that its a new version of the third movie but that still goes back to the fact that you don't make a crappy series as a remake of a decent movie.
