Thing that bothers me, is that there's a need to move these oil rigs around, while it could be avoided.
Country A can get it's own oil, but it's cheaper to buy it from a country B.
They waste 5% of that oil to propel their vessels.
Another 15% to keep up this trading mechanism in order.
Another 5% for damage control, and legal issues when shit ensues.
Etc. Etc. Etc.
Some point in the future Country B runs out of oil, and starts to buy it from Country A.
We should try to move things as little as possible.
In your local grocery stores, there's tomatoes from 5 different suppliers, 5 different cars waste gas bringing those tomatoes to you every week.
And don't get me started on the fact that AT LEAST 30% of those tomatoes will rot and end up as a waste.
Guy going to work as a janitor in a office 10km from home, while he has plenty of similar jobs available around him.
You get my idea.
so you're suggesting communism? Cheesy

Borderline, but it could be partially done in a modern democratic society. For example - with that janitor bit - he could get state benefits for lessening load on public transportation. Or earning some kind of "go green" points, which he could later spend as money. Not force people, but encourage them.
And with tomato bit, maybe not so drastically, but still impose some regulation on supermarkets waste amount, so they plan better. I could not believe how much stuff they throw out, before I saw it with my own eyes.

Just watched Snowpiercer nice story following the book

What would you give this movie on a scale of 1-10?   I was going to watch it, but haven't had time yet...

I really liked it. Watch the trailer it doesnt give much away: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6UmqNuMdY4

I'll probably end up watching it, because I really enjoy watching as many movies as I possibly can.

But the idea behind it is soooooo crazy! They have a perpetual motion engine figured out, and they live on a moving train? Smiley

Actually I can't wait to see this one and the argumentation behind it. Consider me hooked up!

In a real scenario, the unknown individual asking you for sex has a high probability of having an STD or some psychological disorder that causes her to push men away, i.e. BPD et al.  If you were handsome, she wouldn't be on your radar, considering the selection you would readily have and already enjoying; if you were not, then the odds of her having an issue where she cannot attract a more handsome man rise exponentially.  You can avoid an STD through condoms, but you cannot avoid a bipolar nut who wants you harmed as she did not assume you were interested only in a one-night-stand, or otherwise ignored your sentiment and demanded the conditions change after the deed.  Anyway, chances are high that she will deny a test of any sort and instead go to the next guy who is willing to put out, either because she would not want to be found out or is too impatient to wait for someone who really wants her--and probably both.  The trap is inescapable, outside of the straight answer that is "no".

In other words, those who are saying yes should consider how much value they're attributing to their lives.

Exactly.

You say yes...
Next thing you know - you are lying in a bathtub without a kidney.

Like it would be required of me to know christian religion good enough to avoid possible blasphemy. Well "fuck you" to that if I live in atheist country, with a wave of christian immigrants coming into my neighborhood.

Out of interest what country do you live in?

It says in my profile - Latvia

We have almost no gays or immigrants though.

C'mon, how could you know that? Didn't Iran's president say something similar?

Data on immigrants is easily available, and you don't meet them in your daily life.
Gays - of course there could be a lot of them, but they are universally repressed and frown upon, so they try not to show themselves Smiley.

Wow, I hope all Latvians don't think like this. I hope you're just a troll.

In general this is a conservative country. We had a gay pride in a past, and people where bothered enough to visit and fling rotten eggs and bags with shit (literary) onto pride participants. Multiple cases of seniors trying to beat up a participant. To them it's a great shame and offense, and these old people can get pretty involved. It's a popular opinion, that EU is bringing this to this country, and people jokingly say "joining gayrope" or "accepting gayropean values".

Of course it's a bit too much, but then again why should we let them to march through our streets promoting such alien ideas to our society?
We ourselves do not have openly gay celebrities. One priest, who uses that to earn $$$ and attention. One news anchor, who's actually born in Chicago. There's also one singer, local Ricky Martin, if you will. But he's not coming out any soon, so those could be rumors.

It's like in Arcade Fire song "We Exist" (another example going along my original post). It's impossible to ignore the fact that they exist. But I do hope someone can shut em up, so they can exist silently.

This user is currently ignored.
Just curious but is there a way to tell if a user has you on ignore?  I've always wondered that.  Once I had people on ignore and didn't even remember why and figured it was a mistake but anyway I took them off. 
There is no way to determine that. Only indication of ignore status - is when a user is ignored by increased amount of people - his ignored button will change color. And to check that - you can view your post as a guest. Some users keep you on ignore, just identify your posts, but still read them via show/hide button. I don't, out of the principle.

Tim Hardaway.
The question though OP, why do you care? You sound gay since you so defiantly mention gay acts in a vulgar way.
I remember that one from the news blogs on youtube. After his remarked he was forced to apologize multiple times.

I, personally, care because it affects our media culture in a negative (for me) way. For example- in some shows they've started to include gay characters just for the sake of appearance, to cater to larger audience. In a video game Mass Effect there's a character Kaiden, who's suddenly turned gay in a final installment. Which makes nothing except controversy. Although one of the Main Themes of mass effect is multiculturalism and tolerance, I have no problem with that one because it's very well written and executed. Instead for the Kaiden and some other bits. Or in Harry Potter kids, Dubledore suddenly is gay after 6 years. Is that a publicity stunt or what? Russian pop group t.a.t.u. - posing as lesbian singer couple to rake up attention, while secretly having ordinary lives with boyfriends  and plans to marry. Because posing as heterosexual would not get you that far. In older time you could cater to one type of audience. But nowadays - being gay caters to both audiences.

Also it affects our social life and things around us. For example - policemen in U.K. always had their uniform look, and there are policemen in turbans. They are so special, that they can walk over rules. ID photos in hijabs. TSA privileges for people wearing hijabs. Sharia in workplaces. Guy working as a cashier who won't handle a meat, or alcohol. I wonder if there was a public lawsuit about muslim bartender fired for not serving drinks Smiley. Those are the little things. There's also a requirement of you to respect their laws, to KNOW their laws. Like it would be required of me to know christian religion good enough to avoid possible blasphemy. Well "fuck you" to that if I live in atheist country, with a wave of christian immigrants coming into my neighborhood.

About sounding gay - never thought that vulgarity on this matter served as indicator for someone.

Mel Gibson tops the list in H'wood
Most rapper do too
A good answer, never thought about rap musicians that way. They have a requiremnt of being percieved as manly and hetero as possible to thrive in their culture. It's actually pretty funny. There were some hilarious comic sketches about gay rappers. In SNL and also in animated series Boondocks.

Thanks

Jin-Roh: the wolf brigade
(Drama with a some bit of action, animated movie, but not your typical anime. Great piece of work.)

Los cronocrimenes
(Another take on timetravel, low budget movie, only for time-travel fans)

Sleuth (1972 or 2007)
(It's like watching a two man theater show, with a twist in the end)

Grosse Pointe Blank
(funny old school movie about an assassin going on a school reunion meeting)

Cube
(Cult sci-fi thriller with some claustrophobia and plot twists going on)

Brazil
(Bizzare movie about Orwelian Future with unimportant main character being an unlikely hero)

You mean the kind of people like Mel Gibson? Any celebrity willing to "speak their mind" in terms of making homophobic/racist remarks is just an idiot. If you have those views, fine. But Hollywood isn't a very forgiving place for political incorrectness.
Yeah, you're right, it's like shooting yourself in the foot. But it would be nice to have a star so big that he could allow himself to make those remarks. I think Clint Eastwood could pull it off, if he'd be that way. Or Scorsese. Roman Polanski is considered (or actually is) a pedophile on the run, and people still watch his movies.

Op, don't believe the propoganda. Muslims and gays arent trying to recruit you or ruin your country.

They don't need to recruit me, or ruin my country. They are amassing themselves, with or without me, becoming a majority. And instead of ruining my country they are trying to convert it into their country (which will ruin it for me Smiley )

Imagine living in a apartment building where smoking is not allowed. Many neighbors have asthma, allergies, or simply would like their kids to avoid smoke. And then there's a new neighbor who is somehow allowed to smoke. And he does so regularily. Weed, thick cuban sigars, 24/7, all of his friends do, in front of the house, smokes comes from their windows etc. Then another apartment is taken by a similar guy. Then smoking is viewed in a good light in media, and society. Stylish movie star is looking at you with a cigarette in their mouth. And it's a human right to smoke or not, nothing you can do about it.

Movie stars and tobacco advertisement in hollywood is another thing (of the past hopefully).

Amassing themselves in what way? Like I said before you're just buying into propoganda. Muslims really aren't trying to amass themselves and take over or convert your country. Christians probably already did that. Is that ok to you? And I don't really get your bizare apartment smoking analogy.

I'm sorry that my analogy missed it's target
Amassing - I'm now what I'm talking about, because I've seen it from the other end also (from the immigrant view). Some district becomes occupied by people of a certain nation, and newcomer tend to flock there, and in short time whole block/district becomes this alien neighborhood, with all the negative perks.
I do not have anything against immigrants per se, as long as they leave their culture behind. I would not go to China and try to impose European ways onto my Chinese neighbors. I will do my best to learn a language as fast and good as possible, and Iwill respect their traditions, because I'm a guest. Not the other way around.

media logic
tolerance to everyone except for homophobes and racist people
and communists Smiley
Like with Charlie Chaplin being accused as one. (And even if he were, so what?)

"Why it's even wrong to be racist or homophobic?" Quite clearly you're a moron if you have to ask that. And you don't have to 'love' everyone, but a base amount of respect and tolerance is usually required from decent, intelligent people, but clearly you are not one of those. And igots and homophobes should be labled as 'bad guys'. Can you also tell me how your country is being 'Islamificated'?
Could you at least be bothered enough to read before starting arguing, and even insulting.
I wrote that my country is NOT being "islamificated".

I have a BASE AMOUNT of respect and TOLERANCE. Problem is - they require MORE and MORE each day.

And you are an another problem, problem that we cannot have intelligent discussions on this subject, because there's always someone who jumps in and screams

This becomes even more dull in modern social media, where every uneducated teenager is allowed to say his mind.

TLDR: Ignored

What agenda do they have and why do you seem to have a problem with it?
On the multiculturalism issue:
 That it's ok to accept immigrants, and THEIR CULTURE. And it should BE FORCED to happen. Like a issuing an official ratio of white male percent ratio for government workplaces.
 I do not have a problem with this stuff, because in my country there's almost no immigrants, and such policies, and etc.
 But if we take, for example, Norway - it's a huge problem there. Due to HEAVY lobbying, or some other factors - country is flooding with immigrants, and they are strangely welcomed. There are tons of books about combining local cultures with these foreign ones. All sorts off initiatives. Movies coming out, where main heroine is wearing a hijab. Special classes in schools. Building of mosques. Children books and cartoons, having at least 2 black kids as characters.
 I think this will bite them in the ass in the long run, they will die out as a nation, and will be replaced as a culture.

Similar stuff with lgbt movements - heavy lobbiyng. Children media flooding with this shit, even at the ages where sexuality is not yet a factor. Books about crossdressing boy? For kids of age 7? Wtf?
I could go on and on, with my personal opinions, but this is derailing from this "hollywood media / pop culture topic theme"


Wow, you sound pretty intolerant and ignorant. So you're essentially just racist and homophobic and don't like these people?

You validate my point, too bad I'm not a celebrity.
I voice my opinion, and immediately get labeled as a bad guy.
Why it's even wrong to be racist or homophobic? Why should I be forced to "love" everyone.
I do not dislike people of other races or cultures, per se. But, for example, I would prefer to avoid Islamification of my country. If it works for them - I'm happy, but it does not work for me.

Anyway, can you help me find some "intolerant and ignorant" celebrity other than Gibson?

В вагоны поезда №65 Москва-Кишинев, который совершил остановку в городе Винница 21 марта, вошли люди в форме украинской повстанческой армии и занялись «проверкой документов», граждан, предъявивших российские паспорта, заставляли сдавать деньги и золотые украшения, говорится в комментарии МИД РФ.

Было бы забавно если бы какой нибудь правый сектор прирезал одного из товарищей рекетиров представляющихся правым сектором.
