I feel bad for computer illiterates who fall for scammers. Anyways, no new Hero Class in the next expansion. Too bad, I was looking forward to what Blizzard had up their sleeves. I keep hoping for a Spell Breaker (WarCraft III unit) based class. A class that can use the opponent's skills against it, stealing or reversing buffs. Like a reactionary support class or something.

DogMeat might have just ended this thread. I dare you guys to find funnier Amazon reviews!

I find strangely coloured blood on the leaves.

See, this right here, this is exactly what I mean. This has nothing to do with point of view. This is just rationalising it to yourself to make it seem like they are somehow lesser people that don't deserve your support. Just makes you look like you're trying to convince yourself more than anyone else. Im not rationalizing anything. While I dont feel they are "lesser" people, they absolutely do not deserve my forced support at the expence of my family. Period. Go die in a ditch for all I care. With your line of thinking I should also be forced to feed all the homeless too right? Damn whatever negative effects it has on my family right? Give me a good reason why I should suffer an over one-quarter reduction to my families income for someone else. I will not give you any reasons because it has and would not have anything to do with what I said at all. I argued nothing for what support you should or should not give and I don't intend to start now. Your entire reply to me is based on you assuming my position on this where I gave none. My criticism was the constant implication that people who make use of this kind of support when given are by default some sort of "bottomfeeders" with no redeeming quality. That all they do is leech off people (like your post, first the parents, then the government). I mean, it's fine that you don't want to be forced to surrender your income to help someone else, but don't try to make that someone else seem like a worse person. That has no purpose in this topic or any other. It just makes it seem like you're trying to justify your opinion to yourself or to us despite your best efforts to convince us that you don't have to justify it to anyone. No offense meant, because I'm pretty sure you're a nice guy, but it really just makes you look like kind of a jerk.

I'm not really fit to mingle into this discussion because I am as always surrounded by people far smarter than me on this board, but I do have to say that reading through this thread it bothers me how many people here rationalise not wanting UHC by subtly implying that those who can't afford better insurance are just lazy and should get a job and that they shouldn't have to pay for that. I mean I recognize that there are plenty of reasons to want or not want UHC, but I come from a family of people who worked their butts off but still had to rely on UHC because they simply had no other choice. These implications that people like my dad, who literally busted his back working as a truck mechanic so I could have a good education, are lazy, well, they just quite frankly piss me the hell off.

Wait a second, we have members impersonating movie characters now?

We would if you would just write a number of significant words.

Not interested in bizarre anime, then avoid Paprika at all costs. Urgh. Anyway, watched Drag Me To Hell (finally) which is now my favourite horror movie ever. So much fun to watch.

No love for Spirited Away? Another genius piece of work, definately up there with Totoro and Mononoke. Yeah I agree. The first part of Wall-E is incredible, but after they get on the ship and the humans get introduced it goes a little downhill and gets a little heavy handed. Maybe I just prefer the artsy parts.

I can never look at the word 'moist' in the same way again.

That's because it's Miyazaki. Miyazaki is the anime equivelant of Pixar - there's something for everyone to enjoy. Pixar is awesome and all, but they really aren't in the same league as Miyazaki. And John Lasseter agrees with me. Howl's Moving Castle is not the best Miyazaki movie by a long shot but it's still better than pretty much any animated feature not by Miyazaki from the past 10 years. See, quality is not at all the comparison I tried to make. I meant as in both their animated movies are almost universally well-liked because everyone can find something enjoyable in them. (Although I have to say that yes, while Miyazaki is usually way out of Pixar's league, Pixar has it's moments of triumph. For example, the first segment of Up goes toe to toe with anything Miyazaki has to offer IMO). I have to admit though, Princess Mononoke is my favourite animated feature of all time. (Also, I agree with Pidesco, including the part about Grave of the Fireflies. Be warned though, that film has brought many a grown man to outright weeping!)

Oich. Sickening. I hope we as a species are beyond that now, but judging by child soldier in Africa I pretty much know we're not.

Oh yeah, Shoot Em Up. Hilarious. Highlowpoint: Sex Scene/Shoot Out Combo.

"Pride is not a sin, and that's why I have gone on down to Wal-Mart with my checkbook to get you some."

I've toyed around with thoughts like these, or perhaps echoes of movements and energies or something (maybe consciousness? I dunno, just shooting thoughts here). Anyway, here's mine: My grandfather always had a dog, Zendy, a black flea-ridden mongrel of a dog, and he was the only one that could handle it. The beast would bite everything and everyone else and was just generally not fit for being a pet. She was also very old and had lots of defects. A few days after my grandfather died, my family and my grandmother and I were discussing what to do with the dog. We knew nobody could handle her, and so we decided that "putting her down would be for the best". To this day, every single person present (about 8 people), remember the voice of my dead grandfather angrily replying "IS THAT SO?!". Threw me off for weeks, because I'd have written it off as imagination if there weren't so many others who heard it too.

Yeah, Tunnel Rats was pretty average. Which is worse, really. His terrible movies have a way of being freaking hilarious unintentionally, but Tunnel Rats was just boring, and that's pretty much it.

Short. To the point. I like it. I'd nominate Beyond Good & Evil but I'm pretty sure that falls outside of your stuff already.

Oh, that's what he was supposed to be! I spent quite a bit of that movie wondering why Sean Connery was undercover as Spock!

Oh yeah, that editor looks like an extremely powerful tool. I'm definately going to mess around with that. Gonna be one of millions who is going to try and learn the ropes by making an Aliens vs Predator or Starship Troopers game. Anyway, I was gonna say StarCraft, but for all it's technical superiority I played and enjoyed much more WarCraft II.

Hahahahaha, thanks, you just ruined it for me in a glorious fashion. Also, Captain Malcolm Reynolds cameos as a whiny brat! I picked up the miniseries version of Terry Pratchett's "The Colour of Magic" for 3 bucks. So pretty sure I'll get my money's worth. :/ Just don't know if it'll be any good.

I watched that Underworld prequel. The Underworld movies are a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine, and this one is no different. All in all I liked it better than the second one, and I was also relieved it was pretty short and didn't outstay it's welcome. Bothered me that they would never stop moving the camera during action scenes though, but I guess that was meant to cover the fact the special effects were pretty ****ty.

I daresay that's the best kind. Well, geeze. That made me feel ashamed for playing Blizzard Games and for my gender.
