Shaolin Trailer - Kung Fu at its finest.

steroidg says...

Blind me! Sorry to be a bit of a snob, but what a garbage of a trailer? From what I can see, it's more like a Michael Bay movie with Chinese gravity. Ya it was fun when Crouching tiger hidden dragon came out, but it has gotten really old.

The quality of movies exported from China just get worse and worse! What the hell happened to the absolute gems that Zhang Yi Mou used to make which got banned in China? What about the emotional roller coasters of Chen Kai Ge? The best movies of his I watched in recent years is "Forever Enthralled", even that was nothing more than a rehash of "Farewell my concubine".

*sign* Jiang Wen is the only director keeping my hope up, I just hope his next movie is better than "Let bullets fly".

Farewell Don & Iris, I am sorrowfully glad you're at peace

You can say that it's a clear cut distinction, that you support those that are terminally ill and have no chance of recovery, but then where does that leave you with Iris, who was not?


You can also say that it doesn't matter if there's a distinction because one should be allowed to take their own life if that is what they want.

In an age where none of our belongings truly belong to us, we should at least be able to lay claim to our own lives and do with them as we see fit.

In the US, there's been a two party system since the beginning, right? Started as Federalist v. Nonfederalist.

Good point. Why do you think there were only two factions all the way back then, instead of 5 or 6?
Me, I think it's just that the US had a pretty tight-knit group of people who created the Federal government, and they split along a 1-dimensional ideological divide at an early date. So we started with two large factions, and the dynamic in the video kept 3rd parties from rising to dominance, save when we had a collapse in one of the major factions.


The great thing about history is it doesn't care what you think. It only cares about the facts. Even the first president warned against the politcal parties.

"I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the State, with particular reference to the founding of them on geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party generally."

"The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge natural to party dissention, which in different ages & countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders & miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security & repose in the absolute power of an Individual: and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty."

— George Washington, farewell address, September 19, 1796
