Superbad. Pretty funny movie. It was mostly good becuase of how accurate some of the jokes are to high school life. While being a comedy the story was pretty nice and while similar to something like Harold and Kumar it wasn't blatantly retarded. Going to have to give this one an 8.5/10. Pretty funny but nothing extrodinary. **** pics were pretty good too, especially the Tiananmen Square one.

The way I see it most people with piercings look ridiculous.

You may also want to check out: Darker than BLACK. It was a pretty cool show in my opinion. If i remember correctly towards the end it starts to get quite good but with all anime good endings are far and few between. Also cat episode was supreme win. Super powers, time space density wave function collapse bubbles, and super electron lazer beams. 8.5/10 Code Geass. Mind control, mechs, futuristic imperialism, the united states of nippon, pizza hut, and crippled loli wintasticism. Pretty neat show, looking forward to the second season. 9/10 I'd say thats about all I got left. Just watch TTGL last so you can appreciate the other shows. If you get hasty and watch it prepare to hate anime for the rest of your life.

Maybe you just have an addictive personality? With all the chemicals and mutated animals that are fed probably matrix style I tend to pack my lunch... I do partake in Wendys fast food once in awhile, hopefully thats not to bad. . . Either way i tend to pack my lunches. I just miss that warm meal feeling. If you're getting a delicious and nutritious number 6 with an order of chicken nuggets then it's perfectly fine. Anything else is heresy.

I am afraid that is an insanely tough one. I tend to stray away from sci-fi since it's not my particular interest but I have seen my share of them I suppose and I can say with confidence that of any subgenre of anime Sci fi is probably one of the worst. Tengen Toppen Gurren Lagann. I don't want to hype this show for you and ruin it but it is by far the best series of 2007 and leaps and bounds above most everything I've seen in my entire anime watching. The characters in this show are very nice and fleshed out and the action, dialogue and most of all art is so outrageous and awesome you can't even comprehend it's magnitude. Watch it, as soon as possible. Mechs, space, future, pure unadulterated awesome. Gankutuou. Not sure if this one counts but its The Count of Monte Cristo but it's set in this like alternate futuristic but still traditional French setting. The art style of this show is very different from anything you've probably ever seen and the story is done extremely well. I'm pretty obsessed with The Count but seriously this show is a must see for anyone. Ghost in the Shell: The Second Gig. If all else fails Ghost in the shell but it has to be second gig. The first gig was confusing to a point that I honestly had no idea what was going on even until the end. The second season is much better, easier to comprehend and in my opinion a better story even though I don't remember what happened. Future, artificial intelligence, machines. Toward the Terra. I'm hesitant to recommend this one because I didn't like it however some blog people thought it was wonderful and the end made me feel like a sensitive schmuck, not even a scolding hot shower washed away the shame. I will say the show does a moderate job of building up towards the end but the show as a whole is boring and frankly stupid. If you have some sort sick sadistic fascination with memory deletion, psionics, and crappy futuristic utopia with a dark secret then I suppose this show is for you. If not, don't even bother. EDIT: I'm sorry I don't know what kind of humanitarian I'd be if I let you watch this show. Do not watch under any circumstances. Other mentions: Heroic Age - Future, galactic travel, giant organic mech like things. 6.5-7/10 Eureka 7 - Future, sky surfing, aliens. Skip the last episode 8.5/10 - with ending 7.8/10. 50 EPISODES Last Exile - May not count. Planes, futuristic nobles who control the world. 8/10 That's pretty much all I got. I either can't remember, haven't watched, or hated anything else I haven't mentioned.

i like u gromnir (:

Cool. I'm watching Ergo Proxy as we speak. It was another show that I watched to a certain point than stopped. Currently on episode 5. Pino is the best character in the history of all media and sure to be in the future as well.
-
Yeah not to mention both the song and parody are like seriously 8 months old or more. Which in internet time is approximately jesus old.

Noein. Just finished watching this a few minutes ago and I have to say it was actually quite nice. It was pretty cheesy at the melodramatic parts and the whole wave density function space time quantum mechanics stuff was a little crazy to get my head around. Other than that the fight scenes were pretty cool and the whole Gurren Lagann drawing change up was I guess done well, just not as good. I'm going to give it a mildly pleasant 8/10.

A lot of people smarter and more successful than you worked in fast food at one point or another. Yes there are plenty of instances in which someone has triumphed through hard times but I'd rather rely on statistics (one's that I have never seen before but common sense points in the right direction) and I'm guessing that most people who work in fast food are headed toward financial destruction and an unhealthy, stressful life. Who are you kidding dude? I mean seriously. Edit: And if anyone hasn't figured out yet I wasn't proposing some kind of law that prevented people in fast food from having children. I was leaning more towards people in bad financial situations, because lets face it the more money you have the better the chance your kids are going to have a better lifestyle in the present and future, should think twice before having a child they won't be able to fully and lovingly support.
-
Education is a part of it but from a monetary view point she most likely can't even fully support herself, how will she afford a child? Besides going on welfare, which is a complete cop out of responsibility not to mention a drain on society. The only thing useful poverty breeds is adversity which sadly is often never utilized. Then again taking into consideration she was working night shift it might be a safe assumption that she has two jobs but even so it's most likely just another low paying unskilled job, which even combined with her McDonald's income is quite meager. And with that comes another problem, she would have virtually no time to care for her child. Child care is expensive, there goes any hope she has of raising a child without the support of the state. From this and many other anecdotal stories we can conclude that the vast majority of people are doomed to certain retardedness because they are unable to conceive any sense of the future or the consequences of their actions. This kid is statistically doomed to most likely neglect schooling, work a dead end job, and have unprotected sex that will restart the circle all over again.

People who work in fast food shouldn't be allowed to have children.

im staying home playing halo and going to eat meatloaf......yeah watch out guys cool kids here to stay

Don't worry Lucian, I appreciate your wit. And boy do I wish they'd make kotor 3 a non mmo. But I guess Jade Empire 2 will have to do. I wasn't too big a fan of Jade Empire, like others the universe was quite nice but it didn't play all that awesome. Lets just hope we have some sweet, sweet beautiful hot asian kung fu styled sex scenes. I'm talking multiple encounters of the tentacle kind. I liked combat for the most part but it was simple but more importantly extremely unvaried. There were 2 styles I used exclusively throughout the entire game and that was pretty much all I needed. Quite lame. But over all it was a cool game.

Entire movie 2 hours: http://zeitgeistmovie.com/ Easier consumption: Religion: http://youtube.com/watch?v=KeZB2EsPqGE 9/11 (skip imo): Federal Reserve: The religion one is pretty cool and the federal reserve portion is quite insane and I was quite unaware of some of that stuff. The crazy stuff is extra crazy but still I'm really a sucker for these kinds of things.

Immigration is destructive on the local level. Maybe you aren't familiar but the United States isn't set up like a huge pool of money where each state and county can just take from that pool as they want. No, each state is given a budget of money which it then dolls out to each county, which then divides it further up into cities and so forth. Those millions of dollars is quite separate and significant from the entirety of America. So you're comment on how insignificant these expenses are is quite wrong. Think about it from a small border city perspective. They naturally come in contact with plenty of illegals who have suffered the elements from crossing the 25-50 mile trek through the border. Their hospitals take in these illegals, they obviously have no money and no insurance so the hospital takes in that expense which gets passed on to the city. They aren't just treating things like dehydration, they are doing child births and surgeries which can quickly add up. Soon this city which was given only a measly (and completely hypothetical) 15 million dollars has taken a hit of 1 million dollars which they will never see again. That's 1 million dollars that isn't going to the needed state institutions for that city. That's text books in a group of bright eyed young children who could become the next generation of leaders of our country. I say you sir, are a child hating communist. It's shameful, really.

Except if Mexicans become the majority of America it will be an impoverished and corrupt nation that will fall if it already hasn't.

See this is what I absolutely hate. People are still feeling like we owe these people some kind of obligation when we don't owe them anything except a billy club to the face. Oh we have to honor that they aren't soldiers and what not. Obviously not all illegals are fit to join the military, just like they aren't fit to be in this country unless they can actually provide something worthwhile for us. As much as I wish we could just pack all of them up and send them back to Mexico and have a shoot to kill order put in place on the border that's not realistic or diplomatic, then again the only ones making concessions is the U.S. I do believe that their still needs to be a drastic deportation of illegals through means of making it illegal for companies to hire illegal immigrants and sending any illegal who breaks any law back to Mexico. Also sanctuary states should have their budgets cut so that they stop selling out their own country, it's damn shameful. 1. $397 billion dollars have been paid to illegal immigrants through social services since 1996. 2. The number of illegal aliens who are in prison is over 600,000. 3. The estimated annual cost to hospitals and other providers of emergency health care nationwide for illegal aliens is $1.45 billion. 4. In border states illegal immigrants push hospitals to the breaking point putting real Americans at risk. 5. Illegal immigrants trying to get to the United States via the Mexican border with southern Arizona are suspected of having caused eight major wildfires this year, this report says. The fires destroyed 68,413 acres (about 108 square miles) and cost taxpayers $5.1 million to fight A portion of illlegal immigrants also make up gangs that commit violent acts, they promote slum living and just spread poverty by overtaking poor black neighborhoods through violence and power gained through drug deals. As for reform, it definitely needs to take place. 1. Make it illegal for companies to hire illegal immigrants. 2. Any illegal found to be using a stolen identity (present, previous, or future) must be deported and cannot enter the United States again. 3. Must be literate in English, both spoken and written. 4. Must get equal and fair wages. 5. Must undergo some sort of processing that is mandatory they pay for and not American citizens. Finger printing, DNA, medical review, etc. 6. Must have a clean record and go a few years without having any major convictions. (ie battery and above) 7. No more Birthright citizenship for illegal immigrants.

No country for old men. I really wanted to like this movie but in the end I was left with just a mild appreciation for it. It was really the ending that rubbed me the wrong way and I don't mean the very very end, that was perfectly fitting for how the movie had taken its turn but I mean the twist towards the end kind of ruined it for me. But hey thats just a character thing about me I suppose. Other than that the "gore" in the movie and action was quite well done. It wasn't overly insane and outrageous and overall the movie was pretty "realistic" which was a nice change of pace. It was a good movie, original, clean, and showed how mexico is tearing this country apart. I give it 8 dead Latino drug runners out of 10. Oh yeah and silenced shotgun is awesome.

Yeah my recommendation would be do as many quests as you can, pick up Liara, then go to the first main mission planet. Continue on doing quests and going to various systems to explore and kill pirate camps. Once you hit a decent level hit up the next main quest. From there I think Hacket starts giving you quests you can do.
-
It's most likely the crew you brought with you thats causing problems. Biotics are kind of tough to handle if you are using tech specialist (I think). When I fought her I had Liara (for story purposes) and ashely and I think I only died my first attempt because I tried taking Benezia head on thinking I could kill her and it was just a tad too late once I got around to killing all the waves of enemies. If I were you I'd stand behind one of the pillars(?) or w/e obstacles there are so she can't hit you with biotics. Then just take out each incoming wave to the best of your abilities. After like 3 or so waves she'll lose her uber shields or w/e and you'll be able to fight her. Edit: Also you can adjust the difficulty setting on the fly.
