The more porny bullshit gets into the public consciousness the more impossible it is to craft communication that doesn't make someone do a Beavis and Butthead laugh. How about this, let's focus on the people who "misunderstand" and point out how juvenile they are? Instead of this being about Obama, I think it would…

The whole privacy and scandal thing is more about shame. Once upon a time people said the exact same thing about being gay. It was the politician's fault for letting people find out. They should expect people to be shitty animals, right? If they weren't so out in the open about it they wouldn't have suffered the…

The problem with sexting is people thinking there's something wrong with sexting. Like masturbation, being gay, and every other thing that was a problem back when people thought it was a problem. Hard for something to be a scandal if it isn't scandalous.

Psh, hell no. I'm not having my whole neighborhood association vying for my seat. The best thing to do would be to sucker my neighbor into buying it, then taking my place in court. That's where the real power is, without all the risk.

We also know that the Earth's climate changes naturally. I don't believe that we can say with the data we have we are responsible for 100%, that would imply there are no natural changes taking place. Since we know natural changes take place, that wouldn't be very logical.

Call me crazy, but Stephen Baldwin looks like Donald Trump from an alternate universe.

Sure, eventually, but we don't have anything close to the technology required. In the meantime I think we should see ourselves as no different than any other species on earth, no more deserving of survival than ants or bees or anything else. If we die out we die out, everything does. Our main concern should be…

Thing is you aren't talking about a weather machine, you're talking about something like scrubbers to clear out greenhouse gasses. So long as they functioned exactly as we need, I'd agree with that. That's not what these people are suggesting though, they're talking about tweaking the weather itself.

Until we know how much of our influence is responsible for climate change we won't know how much to tweak it. Tweaking it to our sense of ideal is WRONG, climate changes naturally. The earth is not static. Forcing it to be exactly what we remember from Currier and Ives calenders at grandma's house is no better than…

It would be necessary for movies to be long given modern blockbuster structure. That way you get 45 minutes of actual story to go with the two hours of explosions and action sequences.

Bloomberg needs to address all these cat treats people can wantonly buy.

I think there could be a Starship Troopers fan in the mix somewhere here...

Someone's been watching way too much Star Trek. I'd be willing to bet you could find that suit on an alien ambassador in about every scifi series for the last twenty years.

Maybe by the time a species reaches the point in their evolution that they can venture out and contact others, they don't really have the urge. Even at our current level of primitive, ignorant egotism we understand that dipping our wicks into other societies, ecosystems, etc., etc, can be devastating to the…

"If time travelers are constantly changing the past, they are not very good at it. Why did they not avoid two disastrous and pointless world wars in the past century?"

What is turning me against ebooks is:

Many different species eat their young. This is how humans do it.

We aren't going to Mars because no one cares. The people who wanted manned space missions in the past are kind of like Star Trek fans to the entertainment industry. There's a bunch, sure, and they are smart, noisy, and as devoted as it gets, but not the people politicians and corporate types really spend their time…

/me sighs

I have to say I was worried early on if maybe they were relying too much on the concept behind the story to pull the viewer along, and it seems like there's a bit of that in the reviews I've been reading. I tend to think the idea is a bit more worn than the filmmakers are giving it credit for.
