This thread should be entitled 10 Things That Are True About Some People Living In New York City. Or the East Coast in general. The most vocal people from that region tend to think they are the focus of everybody in America, so they tend to think the same way about the world. Since the vocal...

I'll reiterate what I said earlier: A violent crackdown is what happened in Egypt and Syria and Libya. Military or paramilitary troops with live rounds and automatic weapons backed up by armored vehicles. It's when the big stories are fatalities, not injuries. It's when people can't post videos...

Why do I think he's going to become the film world's Brett Favre? If he goes and makes, say, a Terminator film, then decides to make the next Star Trek movie, the metaphor will be painfully accurate.

Very well, scratch "American" from my post. It doesn't change the fact that a "violent crackdown" and pepper spray are not even close to the same thing. And there are other sources for news around me, but they're either the uselessly sensational Fox News, the boring as hell CNN, or Al...

Typical American liberal. The Middle East has been murdering protesters for almost a year, and you describe a few Occupiers getting pepper-sprayed as a 'violent crackdown.' Seriously, get some perspective. OT: As usual, it's not the act that's the problem, it's the fact that they got caught...

Well thank you for revealing how disgustingly ignorant you are. Democrats aren't the 'good guys' any more than Republicans are. If there was an obvious 'good guy', do you really think anyone else would be voted into power? In this case, the Democrats are far more likely to be the 'bad guys'...

If the system were working the way it was intended, it wouldn't matter how much squabbling went on in Washington, because the federal government doesn't constitutionally have the power to make a strong impact on everyday life. As it stands, they can stick their dirty little paws most anywhere...

I'm a fairly avid watcher of MovieBob's The Big Picture. I think it's a good intellectual view on things that I don't often get (even though I'm in a university - go figure). Being fairly conservative, though, I strongly disagree with some of his positions. However, I have a lot of respect for...

Aw, come on, why'd he get a warning? This was probably the least inflammatory trolling ever. It was an obvious joke. I guess the mods don't like getting trolled. Problem, mods?

Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedlerrrrrrrrrr... If you can aim, there is no use for the Needler. And every time Bungie released a new Halo, they said "We changed the Needler so it's useful now!" and it never was.

This just seems like a side effect of competition in general. Who here has participated in an organized sport and never seen the opposing team as a bunch of dickheads out to ruin your day?

If I were to bet, I'd put big money on the OP whining about Fox News at least once every week, probably more. Oh well. Hypocrisy is a ubiquitous human trait. Keeps us all sane and happy. Huffington Post is going to sniff out the worst offenders of good taste they can find and publish them, so...

"So far, 6500 people have RSVP'd to the event..." 6500 is a statistically significant portion of 'tens of thousands'. This isn't a fringe group of the movement, it IS the movement. Try again. Without your blinders, if you would.

Yes, about most of Nintendo's big name franchises. And apparently enough people think differently that the big N still keeps them alive. Seriously, Nintendo? Is the idea of a new big-time IP so scary?

Gears 3 story: "Oh shit, we're out of ideas, what haven't we done yet? I know! Let's make the bad guys threaten to blow up the world! Such shining originality!"
