Air America
|
IMDB rating: 5.20 Plot: Billy is a wacko pilot who loses his last straight job as a helicopter traffic reporter by getting into a screaming match with a driver. He takes a job working for what amounts to a CIA airline in Asia. Billy puts it as, "I'm used to being the weirdest person in the room. Here I don't even make the top ten." There is an insurgency shooting at them, government soldiers running drugs, a pilot who is supplying arms to the whole region, and those are the straightforward sub plots. |

How do you feel about the Tim Tebow Ad that will air tomorrow during the superbowl?
The Pro-choice group started a petition telling CBS not to air the Ad. We Pro-Lifers also started our petition showing our support. We are overwhelming more in numbers. Face Book has over 215,000 members in a group called "support Tebow's super bowl Ad" The Choice groups don't even have 1000. Thank you America for showing us that we are overwhelmingly PROLIFE and hopefully one day we will overturn Roe vs. Wade.
the question: how do you feel about the Tim Tebow Ad.
Keep dreaming the dream. Though you're abit wrong on the Roe vs Wade overturn. You got no chance and never will at overturning that, less than short of becoming a theocracy.
Ultima Pressure | Feb 06, 2010
Keep dreaming. They have NEVER run a political ad, and they shouldn't start now. Let me guess...your only pro-life when it comes to globs of cells that you fantasize about being a person...and yet are pro-death penalty and pro war.

I'm all for the ad because I believe in freedom of speech. I think it's up to the woman to decide but I'm against someone deciding to have an abortion just for birth control. I do not like tax payers having to fund them either.
However, I think the choice lies with the woman. Roe vs. Wade will not be overturned.
I think it's funny though that people who call themselves "Pro choice" are so against people that choose to be against abortion.
There are extremes to both sides.
Greg | Feb 06, 2010
I think they should keep the Superbowl free of controversial ads. It's meant to be fun and enjoyable.
Camille Yun | Feb 06, 2010
One liberal after another is added to the supreme court thanks to Obama and Clinton and so it looks like a miracle will be needed to overthrow abortion
Likely Story | Feb 06, 2010
Freedom of speech. You got a problem with that?
George Washington Deux | Feb 06, 2010
I'm pro-choice. But if he wants to pay that money to have a Superbowl Commercial more power to him.
HermanjildoM | Feb 06, 2010
I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH IT
DONALD T | Feb 06, 2010
How can anyone have any opinion of the ad, since no one has seen it yet ?
But wait until a pro abortion group wants to run a ad in next years super bowl.
Then all the people defending the tebow ad, will be trying to keep it off the air and, will be saying, the network shouldn't be showing ads like that.
While all the people who are trying to block the tebow ad , will be saying there is nothing wrong with their ad.
I personally think CBS messed up big time, because now they have allowed an advocacy ad, they will have to open themselves to all advocacy ads, just how will they be able to determine which ones to run and which ones not to run without being sued every other week.
Plus they will lose sponsor and viewers,because any advocacy ads, are sure to upset someone.

It's great.
Steel Rain | Feb 06, 2010
Considering the whole thing is based on an absolute lie, I'm amazed anyone wants anything to do with it. Listen up, people: In the Philippines, abortion is illegal. Completely. A doctor who performs or aids in the performance of an abortion faces loss of his/her license and up to six years in prison.
Also, medical professionals are shaking their heads over what Timmy's mother is claiming was the cause for the "get an abortion" advice. she was being given simple antibiotics. Since they started the regimen before they knew Pam Tebow was pregnant, and because she had been very ill, they advised her that she might be carrying a stillborn fetus.
Doug B | Feb 06, 2010
I hate it, I usually watch the game with my 12 year old grandson and now I won't.
I don't want to watch any sexually relevant ads with him, not pro or anti anything sexual.
I think they ruined the whole thing and CBS needs a spanking.
If Focus on Family wants to reach an audience that needs it let them spend that two and half million on MTV.
justagrandma | Feb 06, 2010
I noticed right away you got the old i'll bet your for war and the death penalty re-action. Well i'm for certain wars and for certain ones given the death penalty as in both cases a decision was made that created the results. That so called glob of cells has done nothing more than asked to finish it's life it has become a part of. It never murdered anyone or made a political decision to go to war. As for Tim Tebows ad why not. Were pounded daily on condoms and sexy clothing so why not let the other side speak.

When Lucky gets word to O2 that Meat expects $100,000 for Junior's freedom, O2 and Coco seize the opportunity to pit rival elements of the South Los Angeles underworld against each other. "It's either all or nothing," realizes O2.

The Draconian Conundrum?
This is a little short story I did for fun...Enjoy! BTW: This is copy-righted. Please don't steal this.
Dracia Camblla placed her head through the bars of the cage, letting her hands feel their ways toward her face. Her chestnut-brown hair was entangled with twigs and leaves, and her emerald eyes, which were now a misty green, searched for nothing as the busy people of Trytee bustled about. It was a strange environment for her; she never had stepped foot outside her home before, and now here she was, locked in a cage somewhere.
She was blind, yes, but she saw things people have never seen, and never will see by the rate of their technological progress. She saw dragons breathing putrid fire on a castle top, brave knights in their armor searching for their beloved, princesses of fairy tales with long, blonde hair and blue eyes. She heard the wisp of the wind as it sailed across great plains, a woman singing an old ballad from the days of yore, the silence before a storm. What she saw was beauty in its own master design, never ceasing to create such wonders the world had forgotten over time.
She still held her imagination firm even though she was kidnapped by a mysterious man. It was was of keeping her sanity, if that makes any sense. In order to survive and not think the worst of her given situation, she imagined she was somewhere far away where there were no people so cruel like her captor. Her captor....it sounded so foreign to her. In all her studies, she never has heard of a man kidnapping a little girl. Maybe it was for her own protection, like many other things such as reading and writing.
So, here Dracia, or as she likes to be called, Draci, was, sitting in her cage when she heard a voice call out a greeting. "Hail, Turget!" It was a man, and a pretty young one at that. His voice was strong, demanding, yet at the same time subjective to other voices. He had a sense of urgency to his pace, making a straight beeline for the captor who was presumably named Turget.
Turget raised his hand in the sign of a formal greeting, "May the Draconian Fire blaze in your heart."
"And yours."
Draci cocked her head in question; what is the Draconian Fire, and who is the mysterious man? Paying no heed to the girl, Turget continued on, "So..what'll it be?" He tugged on his short beard as if in thought, and tapped his foot in time with the music playing in the background. "The Dracia Waltz..." he murmured, recognizing the tune.
The customer walked around the cage, noting all the flaws and perfections of Draci mentally. After a few minutes of deep consideration, he straightened up, smoothing his jacket, and said, "I'd say 40 shackles. Nothing more."
Turget cursed under his breath; he knew there was no chance in bargaining, the customer knew what he wanted and wouldn't back down. "Oh, fine." He reluctantly agreed, shaking hands with the customer, who grinned mischeviously in satifaction.
A sudden jerk from the cage left Draci sprawling across the small area, and she could tell by the heavy breathing and grunting that some men were attempting to move the cage.CLICK! The caged prisoner heard the opening to the cage pop open, and before she knew what she was doing, Dracia dived out of there and sprinted to the nearest exit away from the men.
"Stop her!" she heard a voice screaming from across the room.
Before she had time to cross through the doorway, thick, strong arms wrapped around her waist and carried her away. The person who was carrying her was heading upstairs, she could tell, and was gaining speed as well as ground away from the crowd of people who screamed after them.
Grrr...dumb auto-correct thought that a word I put in there was innapropriate, and bloakced it out.
hmm its good, the word draconian reminds me of tracy hickman's dragonlance saga, so i can imagine this story very well, i like your description of the girl and everything
you have a good work here, keep it up !

no contact rule...will he eventually realise hes made a mistake...will he come to me if he wants me that much?
i said goodbye to my four year relationship on tuesday..... i wanted to make it right but he just gave in after leading me on for 2 weeks thinking we would get back together... in that time we were getting along great.
basically we really fell out at new year...i fell out with all his family..and tried to just delete them all out of my life....he contacted me after 2 weeks and i let him back in...we were getting on great considering getting back together everything....when his dad found out he went mad at him making him feel guilty...which made him say to me that it wasnt going to work...almost like an escape route and leaving me broken hearted... eventually i just agreed with it and accepted it...he stil wanted to be friends and talk
I said NO.....AND that i wasnt going to be there anymore...and i told him to just remember me.
I havent contacted him since that last ever conversation on tuesday. hes tried calling ONCE of an unknown number
Just want to know...will he realise he made a mistake?
Eventually he will and may try even harder then to get you back. You sound like you still have feelings for him whcih could eventually be a mistake on your part if this relationship was truly meant to be. All relationships go thru adjusting periods in which couples fight and disagree, but its how we handle them that makes the relationship stronger. So think about what you really want here before deleting him out of your life forever and the family thing will take care of itself later. Good luck
Arthur W | Feb 05, 2010
In my own opinion.
Maybe it's not the right time for both of you. If you still ignoring everything he's done to you maybe someday you will also regret what you have done. If he wants to be friends with you. that's Ok its really normal in a relationship to start at friendship.
but still it's all up to you. Only you can make decision for that. Even Us here in Yahoo answers give the answers to your questions its all up to you. =)
Ryan Rich | Feb 05, 2010
You are smart to refuse his friendship. They only say they want to be friends so they can ease their own guilt, keep you around as a fall back option, then dump you as a 'friend' as soon as they find someone else. Good move.
Don't initiate contact, and if he contacts you, be cordial and polite. Being the girl he fell in love with will make him realise he made a mistake, but whether he acts upon it or not is another thing. Only time will tell. Hang in there, be strong, use this opportunity to work on yourself, and you can't go wrong.

totally overrated. it actually said nothing and was instead just a string of scenarios with no ultimate message. also, having a diverse cast does not mean you have a multicultural story. if hollywood wanted to embrace a truly multicultural film then brokeback mountain would have won. that film did portray a story from a point of view not seen before in a major studio release.

That is a very easy question. I'm a movie buff. I'm really into classics like Casablanca. I can't honestly say I've seen all of these movies, But I've seen quite a few of them.
No Country for Old Men
in my opinion, is not only the worst Oscar Winning Best Picture. But is one of the WORST movies I've ever seen in my life. That movie made no bit of since. The plot had more flaws than a loney toons cartoon.
There was no real point to the whole thing. The whole time it feels like you're being drawn into something that gonna blow your mind, but at the end, nothind. And don't even get me started on that ending. Usually when I see an ending that I don't uderstand, I have to figure it out by any means necessary. But when I saw that ending, I didn't even care. I was just glad it was over.
I like to study movies. So I usually watch any movie at least twice and it's usually better. So I watched it again. That movie was even worst the second time. They should've just named that movie Three Hours You'll Never Get Back. (It felt like ten)
Just my opinion though. I appologize for the rant. lol And if you actually liked that movie. To each his own. But not for me.
act24 | Apr 20, 2009
'LOTR: Return of The Cash' is pretty rank.
'How Green Was My Valley' famously beat 'Citizen Kane' to the Best Picture nod that year.
But hands down the cheesiest, flimsiest movie ever to get best picture has to Rocky. I don't have a problem with people loving the movie - I mean how much sheer joy would be lost if people couldn't do their Stallone impressions by shouting "Adrieennneeee!!!" and lolling their head from side to side - but it's not art, it's not well acted and it has all the depth of a Lifetime movie.
What's all the more disturbing is not only did Rocky beat Scorsese's Taxi Driver that year, it also beat 'All The President's Men' and the Sidney Lumet-directed 'Network'.
Rocky is a byword for big, dumb cheesy movie gets lucky.

i can get pretty much any card as well
I would probably add another Caius and Raiza, as they are pretty awesome against today's metagame. The DD cards are seeing a lot more play, and actually do extremely well against the Lightsworns. Ask around for a good build on that if you're interested. aside from that, your deck still seems pretty good.

National Security

IMDB rating: 4.70 Plot: Earl and Hank have only one thing in common: they're both L.A.P.D. rejects. One just got kicked out, the other can't even get in. After confronting each other on opposite sides of the law during a traffic stop that escalates out of control, these two luckless individuals end up partnered as lowly security guards. Despite being damned to the lowest rung of the law enforcement ladder, Earl and Hank uncover a sophisticated smuggling operation led by Nash and his band of thugs. When Earl and Hank get their hands on some hot property, they go on the run from, first the bad guys, then the L.A.P.D.—led by Lt. Washington and Detective McDuff. What these two unlikely partners do to law enforcement is a crime, but they just might save the day. That is, if they don't kill each other first. |

Does shutting down Big 3 put our national security at risk?
It's easy to say "let 'em fail", but what will happen to our national security (especially since we are still at war) if we lose our manufacturing capabilities? The auto companies played a crucial role during WWII. If we just let them shut down now, this would have serious consequenses for our national defense. I personally don't think the Big 3 should get any bailout money unless bad management gets the heave-ho and new management and the UAW renegotiate their unsustainable compensation packages. The times, they are a-changin'.
As an auto worker I am appalled at the ignorance and disinformation being displayed in regard to this situation. FYI: in the last UAW-GM contract, the UAW already gave GM the ability to hire new workers at $17 and a number of other concessions. The Japanese companies operating in the US pay wages comparable to our present wages. Their savings is in legacy costs. They are so new in this country that they have no retirees to pay. They also don't have health insurance costs with their Japanese retirees, we are the only industrial nation without some kind of national health care. So their nation's health care system pays retiree health care.
As for vehicles, many Americans are still parroting the old 1970's
refrain that the. Big Three are not building the kind of cars that Americans want. We have rushed dozens of new gas efficient and hybrid vehicles to market. We are almost ready to sell electric cars. And, don't start thinking we have models people want but lousy quality. Toyota set an industry record last year for recalls. Today, US quality rivals the best in the world. The reason the bailout is necessary is because of the credit crunch and the public's reluctance to make major purchases in tough economic times, we are not able to sell the cars we have built. The Japanese automakers are suffering the same as we are.
Now, someone had the nerve to suggest that my wages be cut since anyone can do my job. I am a skilled trades worker with a college degree and I have finished a four year apprenticeship. Unlike "Joe the Plumber", I finished my apprenticeship and have my journeyman's card. If I worked outside the auto industry, in my trade, I would earn more than any $20 an hour.
The American automakers need the bailout to get through these tough economic times that they were in no way responsible for. If the auto industry leaves America, in order to buy a car you will have to give money to someone who may not like us very much.
James L | Nov 17, 2008
Obviously you don't know the process......if we let them fail, they won't just up and leave..
more than likely the debt holders continue operations and keep the company going (with major changes in management of course)
DA2009 | Nov 17, 2008
The infrastructure will not disintegrate.
In bankruptcy with no bailout "bad management gets the heave-ho and new management and the UAW renegotiate their unsustainable compensation packages"
gcbtrading | Nov 17, 2008
I say pay the UAW employees a normal wage like everyone else, say $15/hour should be about right for unskilled labor. $20/hour for more skilled personell is ok, but this ridiculous $35/hour for doing something a 12 year old could easily do is insane. Who can stay in business like that?

Our national security would be at risk only for having all those United Autoworkers union members out on the loose causing trouble.
Bethany J | Nov 17, 2008
Actually it does. Until this Country gets its manufacturing base back, we cannot pull out of our financial woes. Should the Big 3 go under, you will see this country spiral into a depression folks, it is just that simple. Yes the UAW has their "claws" into these companies. Until these companies can operate on a level playing field, they will not survive........with or without a bridge loan............LOAN people, LOAN, not a bail out.
dlk | Nov 17, 2008
Not giving 25 billion dollars to the auto companies is not "letting them fail". They will find a solution by themselves. The majority of the country sees what is being done with the bank bailout money and is against bailing out the auto makers. Don't believe the scare tactics that are being put out there.

Yes I would say it does,and if they go bankrupt and try to reorganize who will buy a vehicle from a bankrupt company that may not be able to honor the warranty?
toledojeeper | Nov 17, 2008
Automobile manufacturing is a vital component of our national defense. Only a few generations ago America was shocked into World War 2 by the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor. American automakers responded by turning their industrial might toward the defense of our nation. During World War 2 General Motors was a major supplier of US military hardware, supplies and equipment. Putting these resources in the hands of Japanese, Koreans, or Germans makes the United States extremely vulnerable; both during wartime and during peacetime.
Dmytrovich | Nov 17, 2008
Just like the airline industry, let them figure it out themselves. Survival of the fittest. Bail out the people not the industry.
Light rails removed in L.A. by automakers to sell more cars. How irresponsible. How costly. How unethical. They deserve to fail miserably.
Write your congress and senate. Here is Nancy's address.

IMDB rating: 5.70 Plot: Rookie Los Angeles cop Nick Styles is at a Los Angeles street fair, where hit man Earl Talbot Blake pulls a double cross on some drug dealers, killing four men. Minutes later, Nick shoots Blake in the knee, and Blake is grabbed by Nick's partner and best friend Larry Doyle. Nick becomes the focus of the media, thanks to an amateur cameraman's footage of Nick disarming Blake. Over the next few years, Nick's career takes off: he's offered a job in the district attorney's office, and his hip media style keeps him in the public eye. Nick marries a woman named Alice and they go on to have two daughters named Lisa and Monica. While Blake is in prison, he vows revenge on Nick. When Blake comes up for parole, he orchestrates a bloody escape — which includes faking his own death. Blake doesn't want Nick dead. He just wants Nick to suffer in spades. He wants to ruin Nick's life as completely as possible, and then have Nick sent to prison for murder so Nick will know how Blake feels. Blake begins his vendetta by killing city councilman U. B. Farris and planting evidence to make everyone think Nick and Farris are running an underage pornography ring. Blake then kidnaps Nick, forces him to take drugs and have sex with a prostitute, videotapes the whole thing, and then releases Nick. Nick tells everyone that it was Blake who kidnapped him, but everyone refuses to believe Nick because everyone thinks Blake is dead. That night, Blake breaks into Nick's house, and makes a threatening videotape with Lisa, Monica, and an ax in it, but Blake didn't actually do anything to Lisa and Monica. Nick is then suspended from the DA's office, with everyone thinking that Nick is mentally ill because he keeps saying that Blake is still alive. Blake then begins the final phase of his vendetta — he kills Larry and frames Nick for it. Blake also links Nick to misappropriation of public funds, specifically, the funds he's supposed to be raising for a children's center in a building at the base of the Watts tower. Nick is forced to turn to his childhood friend, gang leader Odessa, for help in clearing his name and stopping Blake once and for all. |

Why do my cats shake?
Three of my cats - Secret, Vido, and Ricochet - seem to shake a lot. They're outside right now, but even when they were inside where it's warm they would shake. Secret is the oldest, and one of the older brothers of the other two. His brother is perfectly fine, but Secret seems to shake a lot. Sometimes he's just shaking, other times he tenses up and trembles. I brought him inside today and he still shakes. He's always done this, and he's always been sort of afraid of people unless we bring him in. Vido, the middle sister, was really loud and would shake a lot when she was born. Sometimes she does it now, but it's usually when I pick her up, which is hard to do because she doesn't really like people unless she's inside. Ricochet, the youngest, shakes a lot too. She was born near the end of summer, so she couldn't have been cold, but she always shakes. Ricochet isn't really afraid of people, either. And I just realized today that all of them are siblings and not half-siblings. Their mother and father, who are brother and sister, never shakes. All of Mittens's kittens, the mother of their half-siblings and their aunt, don't shake.
All three of them have short fur, and it's pretty odd colored. Secret has short brownish-orangish-skin-coloredish fur. It's hard to describe. Vido has dark silver short fur with dark gray stripes. Ricochet has black and brown short fur that really makes her stand out.
Is the shaking genetic or something? Nothing has ever really happened to them that hasn't happened to the others. All of them are outside with the others, and none of them are really attacked by anything. Well, Jet sometimes goes after Secret and Prowler, but they always end up fine. Vido is never attacked by the other females, and Ricochet is never attacked by her littermates and mother. Is it genetic or no?
I'm afraid Ghat taking them to the vet is out of the question because as soon as I asked my bitch of a mother, she immediately said no because she's too fugging cheap to 'waste money on a shaking cat' so I'm apparently the only one that actually gives half a damn about them. I care about them more than I care about my own family. So yeah... I really want to take one of tem to the vet, but considering I'm only 14, I can't.
By the way, Secret was born maybe two or three years ago, Vido maybe a year or two, and Ricochet last year.
If both parents had the recessive trait for whatever disease is causing them to shake, it could very well be genetic. I believe that your cats have the trait for some kind of neurological disease. Ask your vet if they can do test to see exactly which one it is.

I dont want to scare you but I had a kitty who shook sometimes as he was just laying on the couch. I never thought anything of it. he was a strictly indoor cat and was 1 year and 2 months old. He all of the sudden got VERY SKINNY and very sick so I took him in asap...and he passed away that day. I had to put him to sleep cause it turns out he had FIV, feline infectious perotonitis. It only occurs in 10% of cats that are 1-2 years old. I think you should get their shaking checked out because my doctor said i should have told him about it. Good luck

Because technically the series should have ended with T-2... that was the end.. .they destroyed the chip... no Judgement Day... the 3rd was just another way to try and make money (arnold actually paid money out his out pocket to help make the movie)... Salvation was just another way of making money, big name actor... I must say that I liked Salvation though... I kind of always wanted to see what Judgement Day would have looked like... they are making a 5th too...

idk it does seem to be growing very @#*%$

I say you should forget those snooty critics - they hate everything. But if you DO rely on them, then maybe it's because the story gets weirder and weirder by as the movies go on.
Al-Muhammad R.J | Jul 11, 2009
running out of ideas and they can't keep on churning out the same story line, thus it becomes boring.

They should have stopped at T2.
Arnie and Cameron were at their best and I remember seeing it for the 1st time and when i realized Arnie is a good guy it blowed me away. The f/x and story were awesome. But greed makes the studios continue to milk it for all its worth.
'Salvation' was a mishmash that lost me after the first 10 minutes. Good f/x but Bale's annoying gravely Batman voice he forgot to leave when he finished TDK drove me nuts!
All about the $$$$$$$$$$$.
