That video clip was taken about 40 miles north of where I live. Had there been heavy traffic and an accident had occurred, the Minnesota State Patrol would not only ticket the semi driver but probably would have called in a Commercial Vehicle Inspector to inspect the truck and trailer.

I once was following a truck on…

But that's not true. I've read the entire thread. You just dismiss people's concerns, even when you're presented with a valid example of harm that could only be avoided by clearing the top of your car. It seems more than a little childish and irresponsible to continue to maintain that possibly preventing inadvertent…

My brothers got neon colored cap guns for christmas. With enough refills to last them to puberty.

ZOMG, those things are horrible.

Changing a character's ethnicity (or sex) has no clear formula for success. Ultimately it's about changing things up and making you think about that character in a different light. And bringing a wealth of experience that otherwise wouldn't have come through.

A clear example of that would be Nick Fury in Captain…

My friend, you have a dog trapped in a cat's body.

I'm typing this with one hand because I'm petting my cat with the other. Cats are totally capable of love, they just express it differently than dogs.

My birthday is exactly a week before Christmas, and as such, is almost always the day that my office chooses to have their holiday party. This has happened several times over the years with various jobs, and it is generally uncomfortable and has occasionally gotten weird.

The cat is just stalking you for food.

The VHS must have been completely destroyed in that part

It was not a good apology, considering it never actually contains an apology. Is it really that hard to actually apologize that we accept someone hemming and hawing and never getting to the "I am sorry"?

I'm one of those people who was tormented all the way through school, from 1st through 12th. I am sure some of those people have turned out differently, but I was definitely scarred and have zero interest in giving any of them a second chance. I don't live near them, I don't have any happy memories of them, and there…

An investigation by The Guardian recently revealed shocking levels of mistreatment of Nepalese construction workers by their Qatari employers. In addition to denying workers water and wages, some companies have taken their ID cards and prevented them from fleeing. Forty-four Nepalese workers died this summer, their…

I don't know what they gave you, but that is not shwarma. That is a travesty.

Damn straight. Here in the good ol' U.S. of A. we destroy other people's environments for oil! Silly Canucks…

Classic Tuxedo Mask:

Agreed. I also think that it's silly to assume she was taken advantage of or underpaid. Was she paid in accordance to industry standard for that kind of work? That's that, then.

And unless it was in her contract that she would receive residuals, then she needs to take that check and move on to the next thing. Are we supposed to feel sorry for this girl?

Yeah, I was thinking she had less than 5 lines, right? She got paid according to contract, and perhaps a bit more.

I haven't read the Star article. I tend to take anything the do with a grain of salt. That being said...
