| Good, solid A-list cast for The Godfather 2008. Well, as they already remade Shaft... how about Star Wars? When the Lucasfilm juggernaut looks set to wobble off it's axes under the weight of the solemnity of new films, that first fresh-faced relative will be ripe for re-make. Perhaps Christan Slater... |

| Okay gang, now either I am entirely at odds with what consitutes social change, equality in general, and ways to actually achieve these goals, or really many of you are so easily distratced into a civil liberties argument that you don't recognise when someone is not indeed invoking one. Lady A, got ... |

| The business of commercial publishing is quite unique in that more people are writing and seeking to get published than actually purchasing books in a bad month. The monlithic corporate takeover of the book publishing trade has meant less and less authors churning out more and more books, and the up... |

| It's only apples and oranges when we are focusing on the pornography, not the social equality element, and that's pretty much the point I was making, just not as eloquently. Is this modern take on sex and those that battle sexism a newer, more enlightened form of liberated sexuality, or is "female-f... |

| It's not that surprising that the story is being published, it is for most part very well expressed. Swearing in place of character develeopment (as we have here) is quite common in amateur writing as it appears to evoke an instant emotion when in actuality it blurs several, and covers for the possi... |

| The idea that purchasing pornography is in any way liberating, empowering, anti-censorship or pro-choice (in the sense that an important political decision is being made, or a fundamental human right is being exercised) is a sly sleight of hand trick on behalf of the people counting the mammoth till... |

I would like to be able to sample the game at some point, but the specs required for even the lowest install outstrip even my geared-up PC.
Is the AI less wooden, as promised, or is it just a graphics-boosted Morrowind (in itself no bad thing, mind)? |

| The translation is very good, as is the room for expanding the story :) The short mystery story was apparently invented by Poe, who liked the format as it allowed him to hold his reader captive for a whole story. The theme is excellent, the pauses in the dialogue make it appear more natural, and the... |

| Hi, just had a look, and it seems to be quite a well-organised site ready for filling with pictures. The overall design is good, and the banner picture is quite suitable to the title, although that didn't stop eyes rolling when I read the post heading. The content is understandably sparse at present... |

| That women profit financially from pornography makes not one jot of difference to the negative effects of the product. If making money is liberating in its own right, then yes, porno is as fast and ready a way to get rich as other highly addictive areas with limited competition, legal or otherwise. ... |

Early indications of a positive effect on low-sperm count from India and Hungary just tipped the warning scales for a UK government now dominated by a Catholic cartel a little too closely related to the Opus Dei group.
