If they succeed in regulating the Internet, it's not like we can't build a private one that works exactly the same way. We can even run it over the same physical infrastructure.

It's the big players like Google that want regulation. Regulation ALWAYS helps the big player beat the little player. ALWAYS. Don't regulate unless there is popular demand for protection, not demands from Google et al.

As if there was any question about Bush's background? He was not vetted at all. The "birth certificate" we have now is just a JPG from the campaign website.

When the Right was on defense, this guy was insufferable, but with the good guys on offense, he's simply hilarious. He's like Baghdad Bob now.

I was an alienated teen, and I didn't relate to Holden Caulfield in the slightest.

Taking Star Wars seriously enough to take it personally when someone criticizes it is so sad, I can't really muster the cruelty to explore the implications.

Phantom Menace was like a deliberate insult to fans if you ask me. Giving a secular explanation to The Force after giving it such a detailed "spiritual" explanation through Yoda is just like this reviewer points out, it's like giving fans the finger.

I enjoyed the light saber duel with Darth Maul and a few other scenes, but this movie was a major disappointment to me. I saw Star Wars in the theater at age 7 and was really looking forward to what Star Wars could be with first-rate CGI. What I got was basically indefensible. Anyone posting in this thread probably could have written a better prequel just by not being an asshole like Lucas is.
