Eden Lake-
There are two ways of looking at this film.
1: Evil charvas torment an attractive couple in the forest, they get worse and worse until its some kind of nasty hunt through the woods full of blood and gore and death and stuff. This is the way it is meant to be seen I do believe.
2: A revenge film. Before the charvas get to the point of trying to kill the couple the guy murders their dog. It is only understandable and just that they would do these nasty things to the couple, should someone murder my dog I would do the same.

A:  You can't murder a dog.

B:  You're a chav.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

"Everything Must Go" starring Will Ferrel.

Good flick.

I'm mostly pissed off that Carl is still a little kid instead of a stone cold Killer.

I don't think Malthus's influence is *that* bad.

First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

A: Lawfully- no. Actually- yes.
B: Never been into that sub-culture no.

You're a violent, coarse, binge-drinking youth, which is close enough.  And killing an animal isn't murder.

I saw Real Steel today, and it was a lot better than I thought it would be.  I actually enjoyed it.

Though it had its dragging moments, The Walking Dead was much better this week.  :)
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
