    Bitch, please. Just try and find someone talking about you when you're not around. I at least manage to get the occasional shout out without interjecting. FriedCfour or whatever he was still comes up from time to time. @Agent23 is a worthy target to hang up for pot-shots every now and then...

    I don't know what you're talking about. There are plenty of movies glorifying American militarism and imperialism, and I struggle to think of many that denigrate those ideas. Since we apparently see different movies, maybe we could compare a few? For starters, the transformers franchise is very...

    Do you realise how few military deaths there actually are? Not to denigrate those who do make that sacrifice, or their families, because it's a hell of a thing on that personal level. On a statistical level though, it's a blip. Far more Americans die to traffic accidents. A greater number are...
