Well it doesn’t supprise me. But at the same time i’m not worried. There are people who need to perform services. Such as: serving food, cleaning houses, moving snow, pumping gas and so on. These people do tasks, that I do not have the time for nor do I like doing. So if peeps have no goals and grow up to do these sorts of esential things, then I say all the power to them. They can watch whatever the hell they like. I won’t stop ‘em if it means I can spend more time on what I have to do. Tallent does what it can, inteligence does what it must. And to those who pissed on John for his China remarks, pick up a news paper. Your kidding yourself if you don’t think that the Asians will dominate the world economy, and much of everything else for that matter, in 20 years.

@Jack Burton: The Japs and Russians alike both have 2 common flaws. Populations less than the US. China on the other hand ~1.1 Billion and counting, vs ~300 million. It’s kinda like when Canada tries to compete on the world market with the US, difficult task indeed. Not to mention the Indians. Simple numbers, rules of artrition. And just as the Americans did in the ~1850s with the Japs, handed all that technological expertise over for free, we are now doing the same with China. I wish hindsight was 20/20.

Boy missed a lot of banter on this one. Just moved and have no internet at home so I had to wait till I got to work to reply. So here goes…

To Jim Walker @ 7: I had the same reaction when I saw “Jesus Camp” and a similar reaction when I heard that the majority of Judges appointed by this administration came from the university founded by Pat Robinson.

To Darren @ 16: Have you heard that archeologists have uncovered a lost page of the bible. It goes at the very beginning of the book and reads: “This is a work of fiction, any resemblemce to persons living or dead is purly coincidental.”

And to the bloggers who are coming down on John for his China remark. Develope a fucking sense of humor will you. Here’s a hint, you won’t do it by going to see “Meet the Spartans.”

Well I am a proud American. I am not dumb enough to take box office figures and use them as an intelligence gauge for an entire nation of people.

Of course this isn’t the first time I have heard anti-American rhetoric here from the mods. This will probably be my last visit.

Funny how people bash America. Then migrate here.

Don’t bite the hand that feeds you.

i stopped watching these spoof movie things after… wait i never started. the jokes in the trailers have always been bland and predictable. they should at least hire comedians to write them.

Yeah the reason why Meet The Spartans makes more money than those other movies is because people enjoy trash. I’m not kidding.

I guess I’m not quite sure why this is such a terrible thing. Don’t get me wrong, I think the movie might be the worst thing to ever happen on screen, but isn’t it just parallel to fart jokes that intelligent, successful people laugh to everyday? I’m not going to lie, when I saw the preview and saw Britney on the chair shaving her head, I chuckled. That doesn’t mean I’m going to see the movie, but it was just a stupid laugh. I don’t think that because a ton of teenagers who have no understanding of the Rambo franchise chose to go see this signals the downfall of America.
