No actual talent? You try doing the things they do. You know how much respect an actor gets when they do their own stunts? These guys do that on a weekly or sometimes even nightly basis, live in front of an audience of thousands or millions, and with a road traveling schedule.

Sorry I got a bit aggressive in my debating. It wasn't meant to be personal. Best wishes to you as well.

To the ancient Greeks, the laws of Zeus were just as much pure reality. To an outsider, an unbeliever, they are myths. One ancient culture's ignorant mythmaking forged in pre-scientific times is no better or worse than any other. Some of them simply haven't been abandoned yet for reasoned, scientific thinking, but…

Yes, that is "religious woo-woo". Deal with it. To you, it's a "sacred covenant" and to everyone else it's a myth-based superstitious practice dating back to the time of primitive sheepherders who jack shit about science, biology, nature, or the universe.

The woman playing "Fats" is beautiful in my opinion. I'd feel very lucky if I got a chance to romance a woman like her.

Or ten Miatas.

Look up "chilling effect". That is all.

What a horrifingly paternalistic worldview. Who are you to decide what "our" society's social values are? And to demand they be enforced by law? We are a nation of multiple religions and cultures and subcultures, and no one has any right or business enforcing theirs on other people. WE make our OWN decisions what…

Exactly what I was going to post. Keeping it illegal only harms women, and the government really, Really, REALLY needs to get OUT of the business of regulating consensual sexuality. Legislating subjective morality is bullshit and needs to be abolished.

Konya wa hurricane!

Except that's total bullshit. For the most part, the men are hyper-masculine and the women hyper-feminine, but aside from some glaring bad examples female superheroes haven't been depicted as useless decoration since the 1950s. You might read masculine as "active and capable / dominant" and feminine as "sexual…

Wow, this thread has been necro'd. Since I'm now seeing this reply, I'll answer you.

You're hung up on the "humans as energy" thing despite that it has nothing whatsoever to do with the simulation or the access issues we spoke of. Moreover, it's highly likely that the Matrix is a net energy loser and the Machines built…

In common usage, the word "vagina" can be used in it's technically correct sense as the internal vaginal canal, or as a catch-all word for the entirety of the female genitalia. I'm sure you probably knew that, but I'm just pointing out that usage sometimes does change the meaning of words whether language purists like…

I see where you're coming from. I do think at the end of the day people will respond to the final horsepower numbers and get over the cylinder count needed to get there, but perhaps today is not that day.

The article discusses that the Avenger is outselling the Dart because it's discontinued and on clearance sale. It doesn't discuss the engine options at all, it gives comparative price as the reason for the sales differential.

Number of cylinders is irrelevant. Horsepower numbers and power to weight ratio are what's important. If you can get the same horsepower out of a smaller, lighter engine it's much better not merely for fuel economy but also for overall performance.

You're behind the times in terms of engine technology. There are twin cylinder motorcycle engines putting out numbers that would embarrass 4 cylinder car engines of even ten years ago, and 4-cylinder sports car engines with similarly impressive numbers that way outperform bigger engines of a decade past.

WTF. "No historical significance"...? Let museums decide that. No matter what legalities are involved, this is a huge PR disaster for Chrysler and someone needs to have their damned head examined.

Here's a solution. Re-donate them to car museums or private collectors with the stipulation that they cannot legally be…

Let me restate this for you.

Nothing infuriates me more than the "fish" insult. And I don't give a fuck about "oh I'm gay!", it's to me a man treating a woman like shit and I will NOT tolerate that. Period.
