At this point we might as well. It can't be worse than what we have, and other countries seem to make it work fairly well. Relatively speaking.

DC makes good trailers. If only they could hire someone who makes good movies to go with them they might have something.

The main difference I see is when Google tracks your browsing and sells your data it doesn't have your real name, physical address, phone number, and other such details attached to it. Will the data from the ISPs also be only related to your IP address or will it include all those other personal det...

In the 60s means you rank it as being much better than X-Men Origins - Wolverine, and almost but not quite as good as The Wolverine. Is that your intention?

Also: Brent ... Brett... whatever.

Some of the effect goes the other way, too, though. Expectations can make a huge difference. So if a movie is being totally trashed and your expectations are low you may be pleasantly surprised by how not awful it seems, and vice versa.

Yeah, I got mine used by trading a bass guitar and amp for it. It was not a good bass guitar and amp.

East California is still yankee lands.

Y'all yankees complaining about all the other new yankees around you is so adorable.

Looks like it's this + this + photoshop

Does he think that either sand or BB-8 has a frictionless surface?

I think Anna Kendrick is hotter, but I think I'd enjoy the company of Aubry Plaza more. I like her style and humor quite a bit.

It's possible to pick up the best pile of poop out of a dog park, but that doesn't mean there aren't theoretically better things out there in the world that aren't poop that you could be picking up.

Still overpriced, then.

I don't think you can. Well, you can, but they'll just reform again. The country didn't really start with parties as formalized as they are now; those in power formalized them into law over time. That will just happen over again unless you remove the incentive by changing the system at it's most fun...

I LOVED bird hunting with dogs and a shotgun, though. That's the only hunting I ever did. But I didn't get a shotgun since I was so young, they gave me a lever-action 22 long rifle. After a little practice, though, I still outperformed all my shotgun-wielding cousins because they hadn't learned the...

144234 The system is sound, but the parties and people involved need a good enema. I disagree strongly. The system is what creates these extremist parties. If you get rid of them all then you'll just have a different set of extremists pretty soon. The only way to break the cycle is to overhaul how ...
