DirkXXVI Says:
Oct 31, 2008 - Unfortunately yes. I still can't believe the writers won with all the crap being placed on market by Hollywood. The only thing I thought worth keeping were the writers working in television as a good amount of them put out quality work, while the movies being released these days are usually a joke.
DirkXXVI Says:
Oct 31, 2008 - Yes and no. There are times in America where the price for care in some cases is very high however the quality of care is top class. Thanks to the American System I got completly cured of a condition that usually last a lifetime. If I was in Canada I probably would have had to wait about a year just to get treated. A lot of people think that UHC will fix everything but usually those people are the ones that ignore the horror stories from countries like Canada and the UK.

Nov 6, 2008 - I agree, DirkXXXVI. It seems as though whenever a poor bunch of writers wants cash for their "chicken feed" scripts, they'll complain and ask cash for their handy work.They should work harder and put quailty into what they make, lest their "writers strike" will kill them fast due to failed films and tv shows.

Nov 16, 2008 - Can you imagine how much an author is denied every single time I read their books again and lend them to all my family, friends, coworkers, neighbours...?Have you ever thought of how much an author is deprived of because of public libraries lending the books to whoever cares to have them for a week or two and never paying the poor scribblers a single dime?What has the world come to? Is Gezus asleep?

Nov 26, 2008 - for those who disagree if it werent for writer's and the passion that they have for writting, there wont be anything good for you to see on tv or read about,why shouldnt writers get paid good money for what they write? this year alone i've seen a whole bunch of crappy movies, , and they've never complain about the libary, is unfair that somebody else benefits from their work stupid!!!! that's all.

Nov 26, 2008 - Shut up! There are people starving in other countries and all you greedy ass holes care about is making your money from DVDs. You get payed enough, more than the average American so shut up and be grateful for what you have.

Dec 3, 2008 - screw you you cancelled scrubs season8 episode 2
Aenect Says:
Dec 4, 2008 - I don't think its at all fair writers that writers get the shaft, while the big companies rake in the cash on something they didn't even create. That's America for you. Plus I want the cash I'm paying for Dead Like Me and Pushing Daisies DVD's to go to Bryan Fuller, because he deserves every penny.
toekneebeeears Says:
Dec 6, 2008 - Oh boo hoo. Shut the fuck up. Writers get paid more in a weak than I get in a year.

Jan 6, 2009 - This is a good video with a good explanation, but you should remove the background music. It just muddies up the audio and makes it more difficult to understand the voice over.

Sep 18, 2008 - Corporate greed! Maximum efficiency! Outsourcing! Profit! Soon all the work will be done by chinese and indian children who will write 4 episodes for a nanocent and sign a scientology-like million year cross-generation contract for the BIG FACELESS STUDIO OF AMERICA (B.F.S.O.A!?) Ha- ha- ha! (-_-)
