Wow, good thing they used human instincts and not Hollywood instincts to try and outrun it.

I'm not sure you really understand the concept of a trend.

The figure were increasing before the gun laws. They increased AT THE SAME RATE after.

And @Jerykk, no-one is talking about banning guns. We're just suggesting that maybe there should be some reasonable controls on who should own them and how you should buy them.

And did you mean Boston? Can't find anything on google about Seattle bombings?

Seriously what is the issue here? Why are people so desperate to hang onto all kinds of firearms?

No-one is even vaguely suggesting that if you want to hunt or target shoot you shouldn't be able to.

There has never been and almost certainly never will be a dictatorship prevented by gun owning citizens in the modern age. Hell, you could argue that you've already failed in that regard in the US (not your government, the banks).

So that leaves what? Self defence? That just doesn't wash. This is not hollywood. You're not Clint or Arnold. There's ample evidence to suggest that gun owners are 4 times more likely to die by firearm (often with their own gun).

Meanwhile, the rest of the civilised world has reasonable gun legislation, and we just don't worry about it. I honestly do no understand what is so fucked up about american society that you feel you need guns.

I love that he is such a geek... he seems like a genuinely nice guy, not 'hollywood' at all.

So he is allowed to be embarrassing

A lot of people get really upset with Hollywood about this, but it's completely not hollywoods fault, as some of you may be pissed off about.

I've seen the same arguments applied not just to women, but pretty much every single ethnic group there is gets on about hollywood and their movies and television shows. How many movies have you seen that feature a black male that isn't a mass murderer? What from hollywood have you seen that has a non-white female as the main character? How about indians? Anywhere in Asia? You can pick off a few, surely...but there aren't many at all. Hell, even some white males get pissed about it; I recall there's some society concerned with the portrayal of italians on hollywood movies.

But, remember the force that drives all business...it isn't rich black liquid evil...it's money. Hollywood has its target audience, and if its target audience wanted to see an intelligent, sophisticated asian woman influencing world politics in their movies, Hollywood would do it. If their target audience wanted to see an indian without an overplayed accent as an intelligent scientist trying to save the world, they would make it. If they could focus on a different target audience that would make more money, they would do it.

The problem isn't hollywood...the problem is that the people with money who pay to see movies want to see all the movies that were flashed up on screen in this video.

If you want different kinds of movies to come out with different kinds of plots and genre's, YOU have to convince as many ignorant assholes as possible that they would actually like to see movies that don't star white males blowing shit up.
