"If I bring a peanut butter sandwich to work, then I'm directly responsible for putting my colleague in danger"............ Did I just read that? LOL. No. Just no. I have a pile of coins on my desk, doesn't mean I directly put my colleague in danger of choking or abdominal injuries incase they decide to swallow them.

Really? For me it is the pre-movie adds, the ads interspersed during the trailors, the annoying guys walking around with airplane landing flashlights, the 5 dollar sodas, and eventually, when its over, the feeling that you just spent 20 bucks on a movie that you really aren't sure you even liked. Where is the new generation of David Lynches, Tarantinos, Darren Aronofskys, etc? I want more movies like Mirrormask or Science of Sleep or Fish Story or The Fountain... damn it. If the plot isn't too complicated for half the audience its not worth paying to see (except via Netflix).

Tell that to Carmageddon... they just sent an email out saying 'Ohai kickstarter guyz! I was going to make your game and have it to you already, but our publisher decided such support from kickstarter warranted a significant investment and so now we're SUPERCHARGING EVERYTHING! The game will be out sometime in the next century. Have a nice day and thanks for your money.'

And by 'god', you clearly mean the American government. These guys probably got the idea of xraying people from a truck because our government officials actually have trucks that xray shit when they drive down the street that are already suspected to cause health problems. But hey, at least we should feel safe that the only ones xraying American citizens work for the government, right? They probably just slapped a DHS sticker on the side of the van, attached a video display so they can look at people fucking through their walls, and called it an official gov't asset.

Comment Re:Gun control however... (Score 1) 856

Guns bans have never been nor will ever be about controlling criminals or protecting innocent lives. It's all about making the general public feel safe, especially when they are not.

Ignorance is bliss."

The government doesn't care about most of us. They will only arrest people who, as MOPC said, pissed someone with more power than us off. Otherwise the only people who get arrested are the random members of the herd who are necessary to make status quo numbers. It's kind of where America has been headed for a while. We're all about regulations and numbers and basically the movie Brazil.
