A cool breeze in summer and snow in winter

For you it is a good season*

Yeah, but the masses of movies back in the day sucked balls too :-) We're just seeing the best ones that survived the era. Now, any Jack or Jill can buy a digital camera and make a movie. Stands to reason that we will have a lot of sucky movies out...
Plots are good these days too. Case in point, almost any David Mamet film. Just saw "Redbelt"... total immersion and tension from the opening frame all the way to the end. Almost all of David Cronenberg's films are totally great. Performances ...
I think modern movies are better. For certain, the acting is better in today's movies. Certainly there are a lot of today's movies that are pure and utter crap, but take, for example, the last few years of best actors and actresses, no matter what y...
No. Then of course it would become a religion. Lots of people dont understand what Atheism is. Its the anti-thesis of theism. Meaning, its against religions. Or the belief in NO religions. Religions have symbols. Ergo... atheism would have none.
Quoting directly from the proposed bailout plan: "... Section 8. Review: Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any admin...
Over these last few days I have never been so angry in years!!! They want 700 billion dollars without any oversight: * No transparency * Henry Paulson can do whatever he likes * No court can challenge him * He would only report to congress twi...
hulu.com Has many full length tv episodes. Just watched a number of the sarah conner chronicles.
Alternative media is way better. Mainstream media tends to want to balance out even lies. For example: Politician A says: "The sky is red" Politician B says: "The sky is blue" Mainstream media will have a panel discussion to get some balance between...
The speech was good as speeches go, but lacking anything about: * The economy * Mortgage situation * Shifting to alternative energy In fact, really nothing about how to move the country forward. If you like red meat sound bites, then the speech was f...
Take the touch! You can browse the internet and watch videos on a larger screen. You don't have to put all your music on it all at once!
We were down for some maintenance. Please check back in a few minutes to see if your photo is up.

Don't want to be snippy here... but @37373737373 in order to have a *great* career, you've got to improve that spelling. Your possibilities of getting hired at whatever career you want, just went down a peg because of that... Jesus notwithstanding. He...
Maybe your dad has bipolar disorder. Sounds like some of the classic symptoms to me. Read more on bipolar disorder here please: http://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/publications/bipolar-disorder/complete-publication.shtml Maybe your mom does not even rea...
Also, Microsoft Word is available for the Mac. It will open all the word files from anywhere. You can also try the Mac alternatives iWork which is pretty spiffy and will do the same with less fuss. You can even buy the whole MS Office suite for mac as ...
I'd just head into any Apple store and check all of them, see which one works best for you. Nothing beats feeling the harware. I know I've gone into the store with the intention to buy one product, and after looking around, bought something else that b...
Well, let me suggest an Apple Macbook Pro, or a plain Macbook. It pretty much has all the points you want. In essence you get what you pay for. * Built in camera, speakers and mic * Gorgeous screen * All the programs you need for photos, movie...

Yes, AIM is one of the downloadable apps that comes with the new iPhone software.
"People used to love each other..." Nope, the fact is that there is less racism now, than there used to be back in the day. Umm... remember slavery, segregation etc? Today is vastly different. It still lingers, but a sea change for sure! Wake ...
Robot Chicken is more subversive and lampoons a lot. So Robot Chicken. How can it not be robot chicken? Have you seen Voltron getting served?
I use Toms of Maine toothpaste. No harsh chemicals, organic. Perfect.
Of course they have a right to exist. No one is going to stop Israel from existing, so the question is a red herring. However, just like South Africa did, they have got to give up the way how they treat Palestinians. Its a simple as that. Unless pea...
Learn to type, spell, and read. Seriously! That will get you a long way forward. When your friends and relatives are out wasting time you could be creating the next google, or writing the next great novel, or... well... something worthwhile.
We do swim in the winter. The atlantic is a bit colder though than the summers.
Asking people to help you campaign in the real world is not a problem on Funadvice.
A friend of mine is a satanist. We all look at him more as a joke than anything else.
@jimahl -- thanks Here is a rather devastating take-down of McCain and his "experience". http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/06/04/mccain-emphasizes-gas-tax-holiday-again-rails-against-elites/ It is so devastating that anyone who reads it and loo...
What inspires me about Obama, is not his race or "inexperience", but the ability for America to finally make a clean break with the past. You can clearly see it with his overall support. People under 35 will mostly love Barak, while people over 50 wil...
Programming, web developer, consultant, database admin, networking etc, etc. It means ya gotta have the chops though. Experience, skill and talent matter in this atmosphere. Whatever you plan to do, be very, very good at it, or failing that, be ...
A simple issue is that it may also be overheating. Overheating can cause many a symptom. Check to make sure that its not too hot, that the fans are spinning, etc.
We started the site several years ago with the intention of making an advice site for a more grown up audience. But the teenagers took over and here we are now. Sigh. :-) Millions of visitors later we're glad we're here and we're glad you like the s...
Sure, would be romantic for you, but not for your lover. Reverse the roles and see what I mean.
Yup, you look like a tranny. Could not resist, you asked, right?
Freedom means: 1. Privacy 2. Do what I want to do in my own home so long as its not hurting my family 3. Freedom of religion 4. Freedom FROM religion 5. The expectation that I'll pick up the phone and talk to my buddies without someone else list...
No
Perhaps your parents blocked you from visiting funadvice from home. Very easy to do.
I had a parrot for many years. He slept at the head of my bed at night. Rode on my shoulder. Spent most of his time outside of his cage. One day the little bugger flew up a tree and we waited for him to come down. He never did. He tasted freedom, an...
I prophesy that the world will end when I die. That's just a credible as anything in any religious book. Really, what do people mean when they say the world will "end"? * We all go up in a huge fireball * The world just ceases to exist leavin...
The world will only "end" when the sun goes super-nova. That will be millions of years away. By that time we will all be long and safely dead from other causes.
@amblessed ... '... family is important me and many other Americans ...' So I guess family is not important for me, right? I'll be sure to tell my lovely daughter that when I get home tonight. Maybe in her little 4 year old brain she *might* understan...
Its a great movie because it shows what raw talent can become if properly directed. A group of young men grow up in a gritty part of Boston. One of them is a math genius, but works as a janitor in the university. He solved an "unsolvable" problem...
*** WARNING ANOTHER AMBLESSED STRAWMAN *** The actual content states: "The Convention acknowledges that every child has certain basic rights, including the right to life, his or her own name and identity, to be raised by his or her parents within a f...
Yup, its her gigantic butt. That's her claim to fame, and well deserving too, if you ask me. She rose to power on the strength also, of her sex tape, so that's something to remember.
Get an iPod touch instead. http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/ Not only do you have wireless with the 'touch, but huge screen, web browser, and all those scrumptious apps coming next month that you can get for it. A true portable computer that you can us...
Also, much of whatever the tax incentive buys will be bought from China through your local big-box (or itty bitty box) store. :-(
The study also stated that conservates were more likely to "turn a blind eye" and sugar coat things than liberals. Also HUGE, the study also said: "... Conservatives also scored highest on measures of rationalization, which gauge a person's tende...
When you ask a question, and it gets answered, you no longer "own" the question and answers to be deleted willy-nilly. If you have an old question that has some personal information that ties into your real life, you can contact us and ask us to de...
We're an all Mac household here. Even our 3 year old has a Mac, and if she can figure out where "everything" is, then you can too! Really, everything is on the Dock right in front of you anyway, except little obscure utilities which are in the applic...
Yup, its not a virus. Its an advertisement. My suggestion is to turn off popups in your browser. If you use Safari, then its in: Preferences > Security > Block pop-up windows.
