I saw Avatar 3 here in Tokyo where I live. It was great! I saw the Dolby 3D version. Popcorn was pretty cheap, tickets were reasonably priced, the audience was as quiet as the dead. I've seen several other movies (normal ones, not 3

And what about people who eat actual raw egg? I routinely eat freshly-made cake batter (made with raw eggs; I just clean the bowl, I don't actually gobble tons of raw cake batter), for instance. It's perfectly safe because I liv

Are you talking about the same Rama sequels by Gentry Lee? I admit it's been a long time since I read them (maybe 20 years), but I certainly don't remember anything quite like this. I remember it more like the other poster here s

Go back and re-read my comments. I never specifically said that xenophobia was sinking the West. That's something that you said, not me. The West is sinking due to many causes, and is predictably turning to xenophobia as a distract

I can't think of any time in the last 50 years when anyone outside of the US actually wanted a Chevy, aside from a rare person who wanted a Corvette maybe. The car that's actually been super-popular outside its own national border
