No it didn't. It made less than $5 million in theaters, less than $3 million in DVD sales, $100,000 for Netflix rights, and less than $30,000 On Demand. Its total gross over a year after its release is under $8 million which isn't even half of the film's 20 million dollar production budget (not...

USArmyRetired, How do you feel about the fact that in the times you're referring to, when lynchings and public hangings were common, whites were committing massive crimes against blacks and white people murdered tens of thousands of innocent black people? Or do you only care about murder when...

Beyond the moral implications and the certainty that the innocent will be methodically executed in an imperfect system, there is no practical benefit to it either. So it's not as though the innocent, wrongly convicted people killed by the state are outweighed by the innocent potential victims of...

LOL, you just advocated lynchings. But I'm sure you're NOT racist.

Zero. Incarcerating an innocent person is a wrong that can be righted. No, you can't give someone back their years spent in jail if they win on appeal, but their name can be cleared and they can be given a second chance at life. Killing an innocent person is a wrong with no means of recourse...

"Why Ron Paul can never be president...because he's informed enough to know what he's talking about and principled enough to speak the obvious truth rather than pander." I wouldn't vote for Paul, but on this issue he's one of the very few politicians willing to just be honest about plain facts...

They forgot Washington D.C. Just look at all that filth.

I take the simple and clear definition of terrorism used formally (but almost never in practice) by most international organizations, the U.S. government (again, only formally, not actually) and courts, and the dictionary. Politically motivated violence against civilians. It's violence...

For much of the day yesterday, the featured headline on The New York Times online front page strongly suggested that Muslims were responsible for the attacks on Oslo; that led to definitive statements on the BBC and elsewhere that Muslims were the culprits. The Washington Post's Jennifer Rubin...

So it was a blond-haired, blue-eyed, Norwegian conservative Christian who perpetrated the terrorist attack. Do those who mocked the idea this could have been anyone but Muslim extremists have anything to say about that now?

This is what defines his presidency. Adding to that his war on whistleblowers and Wikileaks, his attempt to assassinate an American citizen without charge or trial, his obeisance to Israel even when they killed an American citizen in cold blood, filling his cabinet with the cronies and...

No, because the ultraconservative AIPAC lobby (not "Israel lobby", J Street condemns Israeli war crimes and illegal settlements while supporting Israel's right to exist and actual defense) enjoys more power and influence than any non-industry (banks, defense contractors, etc) lobby among the...

Good to know when someone is the type that refuses to engage in honest debate. Won't answer a direct and simple relevant question because it exposes your faulty rationale, you're a conversational coward not worth my time. Ignore it is. Cheers.

All of the above were bad decisions (I wouldn't characterize them as "mistakes" since that seems more accidental) and wastes of human life and resources, as all wars are.

The news that Texas Governor Rick Perry might consider running for president is sure to give dispirited Republicans a huge jolt of energy. If Perry throws his Stetson into the ring, the GOP would have a candidate that both party elites and grass roots Tea Partiers could get excited about. Rick...
