    Spineless Newspapers

    People instinctively know where their 'equipment' goes. That is part of those natural urges (which they know of no reason that they should try to control, and their parents don't know either.) What they often do not know is the cause and effect relationship between this behavior and pregnancy...

    Comparing Subwoofer Power Rating

    Of course it is possible, it is just a function of design. For example, an 18" sub with a 300 watt amp will put out far more bass than an 8" sub with an 800 watt amp, all else being equal.

    Spineless Newspapers

    "Weakness" would apply to someone who chooses abstinence, but lacks the willpower to stick to that choice. Those who never chose abstinence in the first place are not being weak. Also, many of those who have unprotected sex do so out of ignorance. Sadly, a lot of adults in the world still do...

    Agreed. Religious types are entirely wecome to believe as they wish, but I do not accept those beliefs being imposed on others, especially by being turned into law. It is bad enough when religion-based laws violate individual rights (as is the case with laws banning abortion or gay marriage)...

    Is it time to buy a Blu Ray player?

    I agree I couldn't care less about high definition for most movies, only those where the visuals are especially important (eg The Fifth Element, Harry Potter.)

    Favorite rejection lines

    My favorite was in Dodgeball, when the hottie responds to a request for a date with "I think I threw up in my mouth, just a little."

    I hope George is thinking "He set an excellent example, now I should resign too.":)

    Bose 6.1 to 7.1 Conversion

    Bose systems are sold only as systems. They are not intended to be modified, expanded, or used with components from other manufacturers. I am not sure if a receiver would fry the cubes, but it is certainly a risk.

    It should be obvious to anyone who actually reads the cartoon that the target of the humor is not any particular religion (or even religion in general), but Lola's tendency to jump on the latest bandwagon.

    In a theater or on standard DVD, yes.

    Thoughts on Polaroid LCD at Circuit City?

    Strange. I have always found Philips TVs to be extremely reliable. They are all that I or anyone in my family have bought for as long as I can remember. A friend of mine is still watching a 27" Philips that I gave him 12 years ago, after I had already used it for 10 years!

    When I want to read, I will read a book.

    X-Files 2 Movie Underway!

    I also enjoyed the first one, but agree that there is plenty of room for improvement. Some of the TV episodes were great, so the potential is certainly there.

    Apocalypto

    I can't abide subtitles, period. If they won't go to the trouble of releasing an English-dubbed version, I won't go to the trouble of watching it.

    Is it time to buy a Blu Ray player?

    If I buy a BD player and then find a movie I really want on HD only (or vice-versa) it will royally **** me off. This prevents me from buying either one, and I am certain it is holding plenty of other people back also.

    Fiona Apple & Patricia Barber

    The title song from Extraordinary Machine is one of the most enjoyable things I have heard in years. If the whole CD was that good (alas, it is not even close) it would be a masterpiece.

    Parents prefer TV speakers

    My parents started out with a cheap HTiB, but complained that they couldn't hear the dialog clearly. I replaced it with a nice pair of Athena F1s and an Onkyo receiver. They liked how the music sounded, but still complained about the dialog. This weekend, I tried switching to the built-in...

    The Terminal

    Agreed that it is a bit slow, but pretty good overall. A few outstanding scenes.
