You haven't heard the half of it, ass-hat. Its my country, too. And alot of other people's as well. Stop fucking it up with your pie-in-the-sky dreams of a pure socialist state. We are a capitalist society. Stupid mean-nothing phrases like "corporate whores who pretend to care about progressive issues" are great for teenagers and idiots. Got a mortagage? You're a corporate whore. Pay utilities? Corporate whore! Own a car? Huge fucking corporate whore!!!! The very fact that you are on a computer message board typing out comments makes you - everyone - a corporate whore! (either that or you believe in computer fairies) Do you even live up to your own standards? Is it even possible? Do you know that makes you a corporate whore and a hypocrite?

Those of us in the real world are trying to get by, raise healthy kids, and trying to leave a better place than when we got here. You think our country, or the world, is a better place since 30,000 idiots in Florida decided that their "values" are more important than compromise by voting for Nader? If only we could ask half a million dead Iraqis who they'd rather have won the 2000 election.

Elections have consequences. Accept the fact that you're not the only person who has to compromise in a Representative Democracy. There's no country in the world who has the utopian vision of a non-corporate-driven government that you are requiring from a presidential candidate.

"Don't tell me to vote against my interests as a loyal party member." No one's suggesting you vote against your own narrow-minded, head-in-the-sand "interests". I'd love to see a "legalize pot" candidate, but I'm not stupid enough to think that said candidate wouldn't be beaten in a landslide. Vote for a friggin' sock-puppet for all I care. Just stop trying to convince other people to follow you off the cliff, to kill themselves in order to save themselves (politically, of course).

LeBron was amazing last night. The comparison to another #23 were (for once) actually appropriate and not the usual extrapolation of greatness from one or two good plays (Bryant and Wade come to mind here). LeBron willed his team to a victory despite being guarded as well as any one man could be guarded and without any significant supporting talent (Shaq) to provide an out. LeBron had to wing some crappy looking shots up last night because he simply had no other option. Every shot that needed to go in, did, and the mystique is well on its way to a Jordanesque level.

But.. you know what else is on its way to a Jordanesque level? The benefit of the doubt on foul calls. There was one sequence towards the end of the game where, with the game on the line, LeBron dribbled himself into oblivion and, in desperation, fell to the floor, hoping to get the call. Despite the fact that the replay showed no Piston within arms reach, because LeBron fell down must mean (to the officials) that someone fouled him. I believe he only made one free throw, but the message was sent. So much as look at him wrong when he's driving and a foul will be called. Not so important in regulation. Devastating in OT when all the Pistons were playing with 4 or 5 fouls. All of a sudden, LeBron had some open lanes to the basket, and that one seemingly insignificant "phantom" foul may have meant the difference.

Notice how the vast majority of famous Ohioans have to leave the state to become "great". Ohio: great for sports because what else you gonna do while unemployed?

P.S. You forgot Trent Reznor and one of the greatest 80s bands to exist: Devo!

In fact, its not even half. Math is not someone's friend...

In fact (if that stat is even true), that would mean a significant majority of women who get pregnant (the other 3 of the 4) choose to go through with it. So how, exactly, is our current zeitgeist not reflected in this movie, as some posters are opining?

...like a good, clean renewable energy source. Or stem cell research. At least those have a snowball's chance in hell of working or yeilding some kind of observable results. If Orlando gets a football team and only Orlandonians watch, does it really exist - at least in the national zeitgeist, does it exist?

Maybe I'm not feeling it today, but with two national football franchises (yea, college football is a franchise) running concurrently over a 4-5 month period, I'm not really sure where these guys think their audience will be coming from. Sure, everybody has football withdrawals come February but after all the hype with Bowl games and the SuperBowl, I'm also footballed-out come February.

There's a reason why the staggered schedule of the big 4 works so well. There's enough overlap that, for the most part, when one league's championship is awarded, its just starting to get interesting in the next league. It just doesn't leave much time for other sports interests - Olympics and X-Games notwithstanding.

See Cosmo, Glamour, Paris Hilton, etc.

Don't lay this on the men. We like curves. We also like vaginas, which is why trimming can be nice (so we can see them, esp. when we've bought a magazine in order to see them). As far as large breasts go, that's a matter of taste. Anyone who's ever watched "The Girls Next Door" can tell you what Hugh Hefner's tastes are and I'm quite sure the magazine reflects his standards.

BTW, anyone who thinks that a sexually mature vagina sans hair bears any resemblence to a pre-pubescent vagina has apparently had neither, because they are, in fact, vastly different.

Women stared trimming in Men's magazines around the early 90s. Way to be on top of things...
