Considering the movie is based on the autobiography of a guy who has been proven to have lied in said book, I wouldn't expect too much authenticity. Are you talking about the Jesse Ventura thing? That all got hellish messy. Well.. there's that, and more. http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2014/07/30/the-complicated-but-unveriable-legacy-of-chris-kyle-the-deadliest-sniper-in-american-history/ The above story mentions just some of the BS Kyle is known to have said and done. If we actually believe Kyle, we have to believe he's a murdering POS (among other not so good things) and I'm not talking about his sniper kills overseas. I think it's safe to say that Kyle is not someone worthy of trust in his stories. American Sniper is going to be far more a work of fiction than an authentic biopic.

Yeah, that's never led to any problems ever. Fewer problems than government regulation designed to combat said problems, most of which are imaginary, hypothetical, or really just no one's business except the employer and employee. Ah, it's as if the Gilded Age never happened. Such a paradise we live in. Paradise? No... it's hell in comparison, really. For nearly everyone in the employee/employment market. Some are just ignorantly satisfied with their subjugation and lack of freedoms. 'None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.' of course. The popular history, as I imagine you teach it in schools is that we're so much better off since the age of children working in factories, 'The Jungle', et al. But it really wasn't near that bad for most back in the day, and I could tell you a number of modern horror stories that would not be or are made worse by modern laws that are supposedly there to protect workers. I just heard a new one today in fact. I wouldn't say things were all happy and perfect once upon a time, but I'll take no regulation at all over the nightmare we have now. If there's a happy median, we flew past it long ago. But hey, I would have left Europe to go to the New World once upon a time to escape the bull**** laws and regulations, many in this thread and many now in the New World, would not have. Unfortunately in modern times, there's near no where to run off to, to escape the what for the most part could be called in modern times 'statists' of one form or another, be they communist, monarchist, fascist, a happy combination of, or whatever. Question for all those that think it's soooo much better now in regards to labor laws than it was once upon a time: Can you come up with a scenario where a modern law that is actually on the books that is supposedly designed to protect a worker could in fact harm them or other workers greatly instead? If you cannot, you're either ignorant of the actual laws, lack experience or imagination, or are completely brainwashed. Because real life examples are out there aplenty. And then there's the whole no so small income tax issue....

Been considering watching this. Good? (absolutely no spoilers please )

I agree. Problem is that if it was a male teacher and a female student, the reaction of most is entirely different. The guy would be ostracized and looking at serious jail time. Most of us wouldn't be saying 'congrats girl for bagging that old tiger'. While it's certainly generally not appropriate for a teacher/professor/instructor of any age to be tagging their student of any age, the age of consent laws in most the U.S.and many other nations are whackaloon, and the punishments for violating them are often down right draconian. Another issue, yet a related one, is that in general, women in the western world face far lighter sentences and conviction rates than males. In some cases they quite literally get away with murder. A decent video discussing that in a broad sense:

Depending on how old you are it's possibly par for the course. In my experience, most women start going nuts by 25 at the latest (many men too). It's usually a function of how anchored one is in reality and how much one is or isn't in denial of X. Once you start down the path of denial it's only downhill into the abyss of insanity. A lot of people tread that path, more than not these days it seems. I'd go so far as to say bat**** crazy is getting to be the norm in the western world. Yeah I hear you, denial is a systemic problem we face in many modern societies. Would you believe me if I told you that there are some people who deny that Al-Qaeda committed 9/11? Two videos for you. The first, short and sweet. Take it's message to heart, mind and soul. Live it: The second, a bit longer and more in depth, yet still the tip of an iceberg. Be warned, you might have to think for yourself:

It's already been established that the wanna be big star actress was not harassed. What are we talking about here?

That's called Fascism. It's not the hallmark of a society with a truly free market.

Gromnir needs to use correct English, as well as quote properly. Then he might contribute in a constructive fashion. Half his posts are illegible as they are right now. He seems to be too caught up in his forum persona though. I'm not sure if that's sadder than a troll or not.

GDP means near poop. It's a fabricated number that doesn't take into consideration a *ton* of variables. Poland does just fine. I've many many friends there. In many ways I'd say it's one of the better nations in Europe to live in these days.

Nor does any other state. You are not obligated to even carry an identification card in the U.S.. If you are carrying one, you don't have to show it or identify yourself unless you've been arrested for a crime, or in some cases ticketed for a violation.

Because someone who is a communist that might or might not consider themselves a 'socialist', but more likely considers themselves 'on the left' says so. That's why! How dare you be so selfish anyways!! 'Socialism' makes sense in the minds of the socialist. You just need to ignore all sorts of reality, think you know better than someone else what is good for them, and/or have some kind of god complex to think this way. Or, the more popular way is to be one of Lenin's 'useful idiots'. Oh.. and whether you're a useful idiot or a true evil demigod bringing fairness and 'equality' to the masses you have to be cool with lots of government power and force so your way can be forced upon the lesser peoples who don't know better, but you do of course. Socialism = Communism practiced on a national level or just communism rebranded as the word 'communism' got a bad rap in the west, and deservedly so. It wasn't the USCR it was the USSR. The reality is that communist ideology is alive and well. Very arguably it's never been healthier given the political state of most nations in the west, who are increasingly socialist oppressive societies, sadly and scarily. Tis a Brave New World upon us!!!

Scanned this. Name of game isn't mentioned so far as I can see. Until it is: baseless unsubstantiated accusations. Don't be vague, be direct and to the point.

The world is a crazy place run by super crazy people. Or is it a super sane place run by no one? If you think the world is super sane, you're one of the crazies.

People come and go, very few will be here for more then a few months. Though if PoE turns out to be a major success, Biowares forum is something we can look forward to. Are you being sarcastic? Why on earth would we want to look forward to that?

Oh.. and how can we forget the Smooth McGroove He outdid himself with this new one methinks.

Who Jack the Ripper was will never be known definitively at this point. One can posit various scenarios, make accusations, and surmise whatever, but at the end of the day all of the people involved are dead and a trial where defendant X has the opportunity to clear his/her name cannot be had. Without such a trial we will never know without a doubt if person X committed the crime.

Oh.. and here's soundboard quality of my personal favorite Dead show that I never got to see but wished I had. I played the hell out of this cassette, and still have it somewhere around here. These days there's such a treasure trove of live shows on the web to be found if you know where to look, hence my cassette collection gets a rest. https://archive.org/details/gd77-05-08.sbd.hicks.4982.sbeok.shnf Enjoy!

Hard to believe it's been almost 20 years without Jerry.... I sadly never got to see him live, though I've got a few dozen great bootlegs. Saw the rest of them a few times after he passed, and Phish about half a dozen times and in their prime. The Great Went was the best concert experience I've ever had (and having worked in the industry I've seen hundreds of shows, most good). Pure happiness with ~70k true fans (you didn't drive all the way to Loring for that first show up there unless you really liked Phish or were a lost Deadhead. The vibe was like no other I've seen. The following song especially, was beyond magical. It was the highlight of the show for me (and I imagine most other people who were there), and it turned out to be the Hood that started the tradition of the 'glow stick war'. Words really don't describe the electricity, the view, the euphoria in the crowd that night. Phish was at their best and on fire. You can hear the crowd and can probably guess when the sticks began to fly. I've seen other glow stick wars since, but that first one.... whoa that first one.... If you dig em, I recommend actually watching this video and not just listening. It's mostly not of the show (sadly most of that footage has never been released though they did film it professionally), but of various scenes at the show and the drive in on route 1. That itself was the most fun I ever had going to or from a show. It was pouring on the way in, but it turned out to be a beautiful sunny weekend. If I could go back in time to any weekend ever, the weekend of this show might be it. And if there's one concert I know that's been filmed that I'd buy in a heartbeat if it was available. This one is it.
