I would put money on you finding more autistic charachters in TV and movies than gay charachters. There were entire shows and movies, mainstream ones, which focused on autistic chatachters. Rarely do you find a gay lead. You find more pedophiles in TV and movies than gay people, and i would hazard a guess that less people are pedophiles than are autistic.

To call homosexulaity a "pychological disorder" is incredibly ignorant. Ther eis ZERO evidence to support that, while there is tons of evidence, and new evidence being discovered every day that homosexuality is no different than brown eyes or blonde hair.

I am a libertarian. In the past 20 years Democrats, not Republicans have controlled the finances of our government and the budget and taxes 14 of those 20 years. Keeps blaming Reaganomics if you would like, but we never had it better and it only got bad when the government went on a spending spree and had to raise taxes. both oparties are guilty. But it is liberal economics that makes it seem like taxing the people you want to support is the right way to go.

Do you know, that I am on government assistance? Yet this year i got hit with an extra tax because, apparently, i am also rich. So I am barely squeaking above the poverty line, yet my taxes increased. Yep, sounds like the Dems know what they are doing.

anyway, I dont believe I am morally superior, in fact, I am not. My morals are ambiguous at best. I am against abortion, vote Republican, nearly every time because the Dems around here are so out of touch, and support the wars, yet even I know that most gay people cannot change any more than i can change my color blindness or deafness. it is genetic. Nearly everything is, including tendencies for criminal behavior, musical skill, and everything in between.

Emmy DVD's arent good enough?

Very rarely will you find a torrent taht was some idiot taping in a theater. they are usually copies of Emmy DVDs.

2%? Really?

there is actually at least as large of a percentage of the US population that is gay or lesbian than those that are black. Yet "black" activities are now considered "mainstream".

I dont necessarily disagree with the point, but slinging numbers around like they are fact hurts the discussion.

Are you judging the sound quality or the driving? Or the upholstery? You may as well say movies are the same technology as cave paintings. They're both pictures on flat surfaces, after all.

Peter: no, not the same at all. It is the difference between a donkey cart and a jet engine in your analogy. This movie even describes it as the same thing with more bells and whistles.

the HD/digital switch just happened, people STILL havent upgraded their disks to bluray, if they ever do.

now, as a consumer, you will look at this and do 1 of two things

Ignore it

Ignore BluRay/HD as most people have not upgraded their disks and players yet.  and many have not done HD yet either. (I did, a few years back, and I JUST bought a brand new 60" HD TV)

well, apparently,m you have to watch it in "3d" which pretty much tells anyone who wears glasses to "prepare to be incredibly uncomfortable for the next 3 hours."

More and more, I read bloggers and have friends tell me not to waste my time. That in fact, the graphics are...  a cartoon! Well, gee, Polar Express used the EXACT same technology. Exactly. As did disney's new "Christmas Carol" - push the edge? no, not really, he will tell everyone that he did though, even though it's already been done.

I already downloaded the movie, will probably throw it in this weekend, but really, I have very low expectations. Looks like "Ice Pirates" all over again to me.

the nice thing about the Mac OS is the abiklity to integrate it into a UNIX network, because the OS is basically a fancy version of UNIX, kind of like Linux.
