The Volourn© quality assessment is 100% correct as usual. Adjust for up being down, black being white, left..etc. Acutually they are all pretty meh. Except the first LotR movie, I liked that one a lot.

US tortures
I kinda view the difference between lifting that burden together as the difference between being a self absorbed teenager and becoming, you know, an adult. The US has taken the first baby steps, hopefully the whole thing won't revert with a new president.

That, and insurers are middlemen, driving the price up and making the actual cost of services provided by hospitals hard to decipher. Having the goverment be the main employer is much more efficient. This what makes it possible to lift the huge burden of providing healthcare to everyone. The secondary market for non essential healthcare such as elective surgery and dental care ect. is then private. It's a model that is tried and tested and works well in Europe and Japan for instance.

What do you mean. The point is just to abandon a falied dogmatic approach to Cuban forgein relations. This is a good thing. Shows character being able to examine and learn from your own mistakes.

Depends on what you want with healthcare. If it's the most ammount of healthcare for the least ammount of money it makes sense to eliminate profit driven aspect of it as much as possible. You know, like they do in civilized countries.

US tortures
I'm not sure I would classify sleep deprivation as torture. Pretty standard interogation technique actually. Waterboarding, rape with a broomhandle, the threat of rape or violence against family members, rectal dehydration (whatever that is it's got to be nasty) Those things are definitely not 'mild'.

The US is to immediately implement the metric system and the 230v - 50hz standard or I will use my giant laser to ignite the atmosphere.

US tortures
Biggest deal about all of this is how the judgement seems to be that nothing of any consequence was gained through torture that couldn't have been gained through other means. Only the torturers themselves seem think oftherwise. I also question of what use these prisoners and their intel are after they have developed psychosis and are living more or less in their own fantasy world to escape their situation.

Ukraine discussion
So apparently Russa is going to the moon, setting up a permanent base. This totally isn't nostalgia for the USSR. I wonder how long before the moon will vote to become a member of the Russian federation.

The "Cool" Images Thread
I guess I just don't understand you endophine junkies who like to torture yourselves with various kinds of strenuous physical activity. It's alll kinds of dangerous, the view is nice, but surely that wears off after 5 mins.

It would be an accomplishment if there was some point to going there, the top of Everest or whatever. As it is it's just a hobby for rich mid life crisis afflicted people. Buy a Lambo instead, they don't give you frostbite.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt [2014]
Don't like too much editorial interference in the gameplay. Like the map where you are knocked out and your weapons taken which is present in at the very least in every classic FPS single player. If you could play two characters at different time intervals, a la pulp fiction/GTA5 perhaps, and you could chose when to play what instead of being yanked out at inoppertune moments then it would be interesting imho. Dandilion needs to die. No wait, that's extreme. He needs to survive a barn fire horribly disfigured and unable to speak.

I wonder is it allegorical that confused teenagers run around in a maze, being you know, confused teenagers.

Redbeard ?. Too heavy on the social issues IMHO. There are moments when the movie is undeniably wagging its finger and preaching to you. Mifume is cool, as always.
