This. I thought he had passed on awhile ago.
Still, despite all the controversies, his intentions were pure, and you can't fault him for that. Rest in peace.

Personally, I was hoping for the Vatican to outright ban cars and make everybody ride mopeds with no helmets. Even the Pope. Instead of the Popemoblie, it'll be the Popeped.
But in seriousness, you're right. Plus, you have to remember, a lot of European cars are smaller than American cars as well, so the idea of less cars isn't a huge difference.

That's actually a good thing if you're peeing constantly; you're liver's working great if that happens. Liver let die!

Because Jayne always has the right idea.

If you wanted to discuss about the content of your piece and not the actual literal aspect of it, I'm pretty sure this is not the forum to do so. My criticism was about the latter, while you obviously want to talk about the former. If that's the case, then you're probably better off discussing this in the general forum.
I want him to fight Indiana Jones so that the two of them can make as many "I'm old and I don't have to put up with this crap" jokes as possible.
Jesse Porter- Burn Notice
Seriously, this guy's a negative Nancy. And, on top of that, an all around douche. I have no idea why the writers put him in.
Leonard McCoy-Star Trek
He's dead Jim-Enough said.
Everybody on American Idol
No Simon=No fun
You really need to work on your sentence structure. The opening line "It was a quite a bland neighborhood, where I lived" does not read well and thus puts the reader off for the entire piece. You do it again several times throughout the story, so fix those.
Second, make paragraphs. Clumping the entire story together makes it seem weaker and there's no time for the reader to breathe. Thus, you get a wall of text, something every write wants to avoid.
Lastly, work on the execution. It's a good concept, but not well executed. The tension is nonexistent. You need to build up the story better.

You're assuming that everybody's a savvy employer. That's not true. College degrees, for the most part, influence your first job. That's about it. 10 years later, no one really cares what college you went to.
Look at it this way: The first job interview will care if you went to a State University opposed to say Northeastern. Your next professional interviewer probably won't care as much. Why wouldn't it be different with an online degree? Companies are looking for proven workers, not whether or not mommy and daddy could put you through an Ivy League.
In later news, Michael Bay wants to buy the rights to this guy's story, except now he'll be played by a smooth talking Will Smith and it'll be giant robots, not the Taliban.

He probably influenced the scene.
He actually wrote the script (Surprise surprise)
I always thought it was the heroin that Vincent had later.
Yeah, several times. Is it morally wrong? Probably. But considering how much they're charging for food and drinks, I'd say they're breaking even on their profit margins. After all, they're not losing if you don't buy a ticket. They're only profiting when you do, so to them, it really doesn't matter that much.
I agree with Camarohusky on this. A problem with your argument is that it assumes a constant rate of college educated work force, which isn't happening. As more and more online programs become available, the worth of a BA decreases tremendously. Furthermore, especially in law school and past in the legal field, there are people who are being paid less than 50% from their piers, some of whom (like myself) have only been there maybe 5 years longer than them.
On the flip side, best major to go into as an undergrad? Petroleum Engineering. HAH
Pun spelled backwards is nup.
And a nup is a nup.
Thank you, I'll be here all night.

All the time. It typically happens when I'm online.
Wait, is it Friday already?
I think it mainly has to due with the fact that everybody's expectation for Sci-Fi is pretty standard. Whether it would be Star Wars, Star Trek, or even Battleship Troopers, Sci-Fi for the most part has become almost cliche. There really isn't anything new to add to it, so when somebody does write a Sci-Fi piece, it feels like a ripoff of some other well established universe.

I thought the funny part was the fact that Wal-Mart even let a blind person in.

I agree with what Mal said. KKK may be racist, bigoted, and whatnot, but at least they respect the country. The WBC, on the other hand, does not. So, to see these two groups clash isn't that surprising.
Though, on the flip side, I hope maybe both of them make each other disappear.

Yeah, it really doesn't work.
