  • Do you think Dexter Season 4 will suck worse than season 3?

    I loved Dexter, on Showtime. I had read the books before it was a tv show. Season 1 was one of the best tv shows i have ever seen. Season 2 was good. However, season 3 was absolutly god awful. The story line was unoriginal, the script was poorly written, the acting poor and the new characters underdeveloped.

    Jimmy Smits acting was terrible and his character uninspiring. King, the skinner, was treated as a brutal killed throughout the entire season, only to be dispatched by Dexter in seconds in a terrible fight scene.

    So do you fans out there think season 4 will be worse than season 3, or will it recapture the excitment of season 2 or even season 1?

  • To anyone who saw the Obama Healthcare thing on ABC?

    Did anyone catch the section, "Dr. Orrin Devinsky, a neurologist and researcher at the New York University Langone Medical Center, said that elites often propose health care solutions that limit options for the general public, secure in the knowledge that if they or their loves ones get sick, they will be able to afford the best care available, even if it's not provided by insurance.

    Devinsky asked the president pointedly if he would be willing to promise that he wouldn't seek such extraordinary help for his wife or daughters if they became sick and the public plan he's proposing limited the tests or treatment they can get.

    The president refused to make such a pledge, though he allowed that if "it's my family member, if it's my wife, if it's my children, if it's my grandmother, I always want them to get the very best care."

    Does that bother you? Liberal or Conservative, Socialist or facist, gay or straight, whatever you are?

    Doesn't it make you mad to see him say that what is ok for others loved ones isn't ok for mine. Than if the national healthcare wouldn't cover a surgery your loved one needed they would have no options. But that he would use his wealth or influence to get the surgery anyway because he could afford it. What difference is there between this and what we have now. The only difference is now the only think keeping you from having a certain surgery could be that you can't afford it, but under his plan you won't be able to get that surgery because the government arbitrarily decides you shouldn't have it?

  • Is a WASR-10 a good AK model to own?

    I know it is romanian, and have read good and bad reviews. It is an AK, so i am not looking for great long distance accuracy. I just want a reliable AK that won't blow up in my hands, and will be dependable.

    Also it is inexpensive, I don't want to spend a fortune as i already have an Olympic Arms AR-15, but I would like an AK for my collection.

    If you own one let me know how it has worked for you. was it a double stack?

  • Why is soccer(football) entertaining? For Europeans?

    Look I am an American.(spare me the insults i could send a few your way too)

    I have tried watching soccer, but it has to be the slowest and most boring sport in the world. Can you explain to me why it is so popular and exciting to you. I feel like you can watch a game for 90 minutes and interesting stuff is going on for about 2 minutes. It just doesn't hold my attention. it strikes me as a sport you have to be drunk to enjoy, like baseball.

    For disclosure, my favorite sport is hockey. So it might be my taste for a fast paced hard hitting sport that precludes me from liking soccer.

  • AM I alone in thinking Michelle Obama looks like a man?

    I wouldn't bring this up, but I am told by the television, paper, and magazine media that she is the most beautiful first lady ever. She is magnificent, she is accomplished, etc,etc. When she clearly isn't as Beautiful as say Jackie Kennedy, and she really is no more accomplished that most other first ladies.

    I mean she had a job at a hospital(where he pay increased three fold when her husband because a senator) and that job hasn't been replaced since Barack became president. But for the sake of an argument lets say that the job she was working wasn't just a job created by the hospital for her to curry favor with her husband who was a Senator in the State Congress and then later a National Senator, what is so special about her having a job? I think Bush's wife was a teacher and librarian for 30+ years. Aren't we always being told that teachers are the most important people? Wasn't Hillary Clinton a well paid lawyer?

    Again, i wouldn't even be asking this if I had not reached a saturation point of being told how beautiful and successful she was by every media outlet. The fact that she was in Maxim's top 100 hottest women in the world put me over the top.

    She's a dude, plain and simple and in no way more sucsessful than any previous first lady. She is famous ONLY because she is married to the President of the United States, no OTHER reason.

    Thoughts? And please save me the Bush/Barack crap. I don't care who you voted for or how conservatives, neocons, liberals, communists are destroying the world, etc, etc. just answer the issue at hand.

  • If I as a white person were in a group called "the Race" which promoted being white would I be racist?

    If yes, then why can the new appointee to the supreme court be a member of "La Raza" which is the same thing for hispanics.

    this isn't a democrat republican question. I don't care if you support or hate obama/bush, etc. This is an honest question. When i grew up in the 1980s i was raised to believe we are all equal, however the older i get it seems to me that some of us are more equal than others. Racism is ok when it swings against whites. I thought MLK jr and other fought in the civil rights movement so everyone would be seen as equal in the eyes of the government. It seems these days that the result is that certain groups want to have their turn at being racists or racial supremacists.

    I hate white power groups, as much as black or hispanic or whatever power groups. But it seems as though in american society if I were to say "I am for white power" I would be a dirty racist bigot. But if a black or hispanic was to say "I am for Black/Hispanic Power" then that is just a statement of pride in ones ancestry.

    Thougths?

    Again please no political trolls.
