You're just jealous of our brilliant plan to have a pig shit powered civilization with gladiatorial combat and drag queens. |

And we shall all be descended from a tribe of half wild children looking for Captain Walker.
I love this film!  _________________  |

By the way, if anyone is unclear about what the Occupy Wall Street demonstrators are upset about, watch this movie:
Inside Job
It is a very coherent account of the vast financial crimes which have crippled the global economy while making a handful of people obscenely rich.

They're upset over a movie?
Can we protest about Twilight then? _________________  |

Not having seen the film, i can only speculate, but I suspect the film documents (or dramatizes) the alleged polarization of western economies by focusing on the wealth-gathering and market manipulation techniques of a few individuals (while ignoring others). _________________ What I lack in sincerity, I make up for in sarcasm.

I'm kind of conflicted, the movie looks interesting enough, but he also told me the Satantic Childmolesters of the CIA was a good book.
@Dutch: Protesting Twilight movies comes with it's own risks via exposure to crazies:

Hmm... yes. Fair enough.
I might just go find another thread now.  _________________  |

Here's another video relating to one of the topics under discussion:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weSzkIB8184&feature=youtu.be
"Conspiracy of Silence" was a 1994 documentary funded by the Discovery Channel. It describes a pedophile and drug trafficking ring with connections to the Boys Town orphanage and the Franklin Federal Credit Union in Omaha, Nebraska. The pedophile ring allegedly catered to a number of high profile figures in business and politics. Shortly before the documentary was to air the Discovery Channel inexplicably withdrew their support and the hour-long feature never aired on television.

Technically, "citing" them would involve posting relevant passages from the books, not simply shouting that if we don't read the full book we're lying. _________________ What I lack in sincerity, I make up for in sarcasm.
