Also funny how the problem was the 1%, until someone pointed out that worldwide the middle class here was the 1%. Then the problem became the 1% of the 1%, the people who were richer than us. We being equally wealthier than other people suffering are not the problem in the world. We didn't need to suffer ourselves.

It seems awfully convenient that we're just now reinterpreting the results of this experiment to perfectly match our current social issue du jour.

Using the terms "mice" and "rats" interchangeably is sloppy.

This is why I gave up on the movies when I was forced to sit through the second one on a plane flight - a ridiculously bloated mess. Jackson has ALWAYS needed the strong hand of a good editor to trim the fat out of his movies. Kong would have been awesome at 1.5 hours and three less climaxes. The first Lord of the…

You can drink water?

I see Tim woke up on the lets-start-some-shit side of the bed today. Next stop: ADIDAS.

As an episode of Outer Limits or something like that it would have been fine, but as an episode of LOST, even Billy Dee Williams couldn't save the disruption to continuity and the forced inclusion and then hasty exit of characters.

No. It's called Science-Fiction, not science-fact. The rest is speculation. It could happen, it probably won't, but you don't know for sure for technology hasn't been able to produce it yet or we just haven't reached that point in the future. By your standards, we could say that The Wizard of Oz misrepresents what…

The public has collectively decided that these RC not-airplanes-or-helicopters aircraft will be known colloquially as drones. So you might a well get used to it. No sense expending a lot of energy fighting the river when you should just float downstream with the current.
