On the topic of marriage and gay marriage. Marriage as it currently is practiced by the majority is a religious ceremony following the customs of a Faith. Yet this practice is supported and encouraged by the State both in legislatiion and in financial benefit. The problem being is the Church wants to restrict who may marry whom (and the Church stops more than just gay couples from marrying...this isn't just a gay thing) and for some reason, the State still supports this.

So why not remove marriage as a legally recognized and financially rewarded state of being? Just make civil unions between two adults the only State recognized binding contract. Give these unions all the rights and priveleges that "marriage" gave but these unions are legally binding and recognized by the state. Make no laws save that only two persons of consenting age of reasonably sound mind can enter into this contract.

Those who are of a Faith, who want their union recognized by the Church can still have their ceremony and still have everything they wanted within their Faith. If they choose to have the State recognize their union, they will have the right to file the paperwork like every other citizen of this country. This removes the idea of worrying about what "God" wants to be a marriage and the "threat" to the sanctity of marriage, removes State interference in Church activity, Church interference in State activity and ensures every one of us has equal rights under law.

Brand new, still in the shipping box, we received this as a gift but just don't do esperesso at home. Retail is 350 but I am selling it for 250. It would make a good gift for xmas, possibly being a gift to yourself! It's stainless steel and has a pretty high Amazon rating.

Here is a link to a Amazon showing the machine, the stats and the retail value. http://www.amazon.com/Starbucks-Sirena-Espresso-Machine-Stainless/dp/B0010Z9LI6

So I know it's been out for some time but I just have to get this off my chest. This movie is fucking awful, just super, super terrible. I would of burned down a theatre if I had paid for tickets to this.

Frank Miller should not be allowed to be the head director of anything else. Have a real director co-direct with him so he can be watched.

So I just finished watching the movie and I am very pleased. Other than a few, minor plot holes the movie was solid. There was a good feeling of continuity with the other movies and even the TV show. This however is the first movie I have ever seen Christian Bale in that I felt his portrayal of a character was generic. Normally he takes roles and makes them so singular that you think "wow, no one else could of done this". This movie it seemed he didn't put much personality into the role, although I guess the reason I feel this way is I always expect so much when he is in a movie.

All in all, I'd rate it as highly as Star Trek and a little higher than Wolverine. It was entertaining, there were alot of really neat robots in it. And somehow Helena Bonham Carter got a role in a movie that Tim Burton had no involvement in...I don't know how she pulled it off.

I'm giving it four out of five glowing eyed robot heads.

Saw it tonight, won't go into spoiler-esque detail but needless to say it was ok. Not "wow" just ok. I was not thrilled with how they connected Sabertooth and Wolverine and what they did to the deadpool character.

It was entertaining but I'd place it below Xmen 2 but above Xmen 3.

Thanks to him I have a new userpic!
