Comment Re:Obligatory (Score 1) 310

Unless US citizens are deemed to be enemy combatants, then you can murder all of them you want. No military man went to trial and was executed for the murders in kent state.

If you think the US military will not mow down US citizens on orders, then you are insane. Go and ask off duty military men what their oath means. none of them will say they frag their superior officer before shooting an american citizen.

Sounds like that is not a problem, and only a fool wants a big name hollywood actor, better actors are out there to be had for less. Just look at game of thrones for a perfect example that "nobodies" are fantastic actors.

Price is insane only if you think his labor is free, if you have any metalworking skills at all you can replicate this axe quickly and easily in only a few hours in the forge.
My buddy will make it for cost of materials and 2 cases of his favorite german import beer. But anyone else it would cost $300 for him to do it at his normal hourly rate.

Comment Lots of either dilusional or rich people... (Score 1) 341

I'm not retiring until I am dead. Sorry but I have not lived the rich life where I can put away 10% and I lost a shitload in the stock market due to the damn scumbag bankers. So either most of you are rich as hell making 6 figures or more or you are all completely dilusional thinking you will have the money saved up for retirement. Because social security is NOT going to be around in 20-30 years.

Plus who the hell wants to be a retired old fart that shuffles around the yard with nothing to do every day? What people think of retirement, daily partying in tahiti, and flying around the world is only for the rich rich rich... 99% just sit in their south florida home bitching how cold it is and eating the same mush at the retirement complex's cafeteria.

No thanks.

Comment micro studio (Score 2) 137

There is no difference between a micro studio and a Giganto Studio. I have the exact same tools in my spare bedroom "micro studio" that they have at MGM. and if I really wanted to shoot with a $190,000 arriflex I can rent it, just like they do.

This is the wonderful thing. a single person with a spare bedroom is equal footing competition to a $100,000,000,000 studio.

Comment Re:why not just have a baby earlier? (Score 1, Insightful) 342

You are correct. having a kid at any age is a huge mistake if you want to do things with your life that is outside the raising a child idea. To some people raising children IS Their career, and more power to them. to Others, it's retarded to blow that time and money that children require to just have them because of societal or parental pressures.

Then you have the nutjobs that think they HAVE to have kids so they have a LEGACY... If you really want to raise children for the right reasons, go do it, but all these people need to STFU to people that dont want to have kids, and dont think it's important to devote 100% of your resources for 18-25 years to raising one.
