  1. :unsure: You're right.

     

    I've actually stayed away from the issue completely but where do the nut jobs think he was actually born?

    Kenya, the country from where his father came. Not that it matters WRT his citizenship, since his mother having been an American citizen and having lived in the country her whole life (as of the date he was born), automatically made him a citizen at birth, regardless of where it was. However it has been alleged that Barry claimed at times to have been born in Kenya.

  2. I eventually wind up seeing most of their movies, mostly when they air on free tv, but that one never interested me at all. I'm sure it's a good movie, but the whole concept of a movie full of talking cars just seems stupid to me.

    Dumber than talking toys, bugs, or monsters?

  3. Disney/Pixar are back with "Cars 2". While collectively "Cars" is seen as one of Pixar's weakest movies it did sell a lot of toys. The plot involving Lightning McQueen entering "The Race of Champions" taking him and his crew across the world looks like fun and the idea of Mater getting involved with international spies sounds very amusing. Adding in the voices of Bruce Campbell, Jason Issacs & Michael Caine, should make this addition a delightful one.

    I've heard this before and I just don't see why. It was a great movie with a lot of heart, sold a lot of toys, and apparently was good enough for a sequel. I'd put it right up there with "Monsters, INC." and "Toy Story."

  4. prices will go up either way...you can't just argue that the player's salaries cause the prices to go up. the players salaries go up because of the amount of money the league is bringing in. prices will go up as long as tv revenue keeps increasing, stadiums sell boxes, seats and ads. simple

    Not quite. The biggest expense the owners have is the players. You pay them more, you need to make up the lost revenue elsewhere. Where does it come from? Ultimately, us.

  5. No, the difference between us is that I would not support my representative in DC if he/she voted in favor of a massive spending bill that they didn't bother to read or understand, but that ultimately FORCES me, against my will, to buy a service simply because I am a living American citizen.

     

    You, on the other hand, are apparently waiting like everyone else to find out what the hell is in the bill before you decide if it's a good idea or not. Unfortunately, Obamacare didn't come from Costco or Nordstroms. You can't return it in 30 days if you find out it's not what you want. You get it, you like it, and you STFU about anything else.

     

    Not my gig. Unlike yourself, I'm not real big on being anyone's B word.

    Bingo. Although I suspect some people think that when it's implemented, it will be easy to "tweak" it to make it perfect. :rolleyes:
