People don't like America because of political differences. It's not that complicated really. We don't agree on environmentalism, foreign policy, etc. The fact that we are a superpower makes it worse because they perceive us as a greater threat to their interests.
Also, we got that whole situation in Iraq that has caused many Muslims to be outraged at us for what we have done. I mean some people wanted us to take out Saddam but we didn't have to make the decision. Also we eat out more fast food restaurants than any other nation on the planet. Cultural differences are really affecting the way we interact with the world around us.
Yeah, Pico would look awesome if he were older. The possibilities are endless. Although, I can't believe Pico 2 hasn't premiered yet. Or has it? I'm confused.
The top submission's pretty cool. I have no idea why some people think it's stolen. Maybe they were being uncreative at the time. After all, I'm planning to take a flash animation program this Summer. Stay tuned. When I do make a flash, I'm going to actually work on it so it will be awesome.

unless it is for self defence, it is murder if you kill someone, even in war.
all these soldiers who kill in iraq come home as murderers, not heros.

Well yeah, but I think this is more of an issue of Patriotism versus righteousness. I mean, would conservatives really assasinate Hugo Chavez (the President of Venezuela) just becuase religous fanatic Pat Robertson said so. No wonder The Da Vinci Code is so controversial. This is one crazy world we live in. I'm just glad I know where I stand. If President Bush knew about this, maybe his approval ratings wouldn't be so low.

what is the underdog of the week awarded for?
It goes to the flash movie with the biggest difference between review score and submission score. E.g.: Submission score of 2.31/5.00 and Review score of 9.36/5.00.
Hope that helps.
You know I haven't seen the movie yet but it looks pretty interesting. However, I did read the book and it's pretty compelling. I really don't see why the critics have to nail it. It's just fiction. Maybe they do not have enough insight, background knowledge or some thing like that.
I mean you would rather read The Da Vinci Code than watch Foamy all day.
Actually I do NOt think the drinking age should be lowered to eighteen. Millions of people die in car-related accidents due to alcohol. Therefore, 21 is the legal age because that is the age when your body can handle alcohol.
Do you want become a drunk driver? I know I don't!
Pretty cool sprites. Now just find someone who's interested in them. I'm just concerned that sprite animation might not be all that popular with certain people.
