- sigh. I need to save more money -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 15, 08:18 4
  - Almost all TV content is 16:9, a lot of movies as well. You'll end up with black bars on the side way more often with this -- nm - Guigue Jan 15, 08:19 3
    - Black bars or just "stretch to fit tv". -- nm - Shaun Jan 15, 08:22 2
      - I guess you can decide. You can have the black bars, stretch is so things are a little deformed or stretch it and lose a portion of the top and bottom -- nm - Guigue Jan 15, 08:24
      - and a distorted image. - Reagen Jan 15, 08:24
- My original thought when I learned that the 16:9 didn't match cinema paramaters was "these idiots went through all the trouble to create this new - pmb Jan 15, 08:17 1

LIR: I like camp sometimes. Also, I was expecting Shoot 'Em Up to be funny, self-depracating, and with decent action. I found none of that. - con_carne Jan 15, 08:08 1
- When I saw it, I told Kelly it was either the greatest movie I've ever seen, or the worst. I couldn't decide. - Will Hunting Jan 15, 08:09
I don't think there is a moral obligation to pay for a child's college - many families simply can't afford it. - ty97 Jan 15, 08:03 29
- I think their only obligation is attempt to provide for the best chance for success. - Will Hunting Jan 15, 08:06 5
  - I agree with our subject line. I disagree with your IM, if the parents can afford it. - pmb Jan 15, 08:09 4
    - Let me clarify a little more. - pmb Jan 15, 08:12 2
      - I can agree with this; i just don't think it rises to immorality. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 15, 08:14 1

    - This is my opinion too. -- nm - Walt_Disney Jan 15, 08:11
- "The world needs ditch diggers, too." -- nm - con_carne Jan 15, 08:05
- my parents could have paid, but they felt that their children needed to understand the cost of college - tRuMaN Jan 15, 08:05 9
  - I've certainly heard this argument before. Thought I'm not sure how I feel about it, I do believe that - ty97 Jan 15, 08:07 8
    - i worked part time through university for spending money, but i was lucky that my parents paid for the vast majority of it. - Andie Jan 15, 08:10 6
      - It sure wasn't for a lack of trying on my parent's part. - ty97 Jan 15, 08:15 5
        
        i think lots of people go through that. -- nm - El Fandie Jan 15, 08:16 4
        
        random tangent: i remember when i was pretty young, and i wanted my mom to buy me something - El Fandie Jan 15, 08:18 3
        
        excellent -- nm - ty97 Jan 15, 08:27
        
        Wow. Very cool explanation. -- nm - Shaun Jan 15, 08:23
        
        even more - which doesn't mean i didn't screw up with money when i was younger! :) -- nm - Andie Jan 15, 08:21
    - I was paying for a big chunk of my college education and still only got through 4 semesters. -- nm - znufrii Jan 15, 08:09
- [deleted] 3
  - I don't agree with this. Sure if the parents can afford it and it's something they want to spend their money on, fine. - Shaun Jan 15, 08:06 2
    - i think most of the parents here would disagree. you do what you can to provide a good future for your child. - Andie Jan 15, 08:11 1
      - Fair enough. -- nm - Shaun Jan 15, 08:14
- Agreed. -- nm - kelly Jan 15, 08:03
- the moral obligation is to provide them with the best opportunities they can for their children's success.. -- nm - znufrii Jan 15, 08:03 6
  - but what about useless degrees like mine? like, I had no chance of getting a job. so no pay for me? -- nm - martin luther king jr loves mandy lane Jan 15, 08:13 1
    - depends on how you define "success", I guess - znufrii Jan 15, 08:16
  - That answer isn't always 'college'. - ty97 Jan 15, 08:06 3
    - [deleted] 1
      - You will get no argument that it is 'important'. - ty97 Jan 15, 08:08
    - I completely agree. -- nm - znufrii Jan 15, 08:07

    - So it's okay if I put these blades and stuff up under your fingernails then? -- nm - mara with blades and stuff Jan 15, 08:16

    - So znufrii is Willard, and has Dawson chained in his basement, sober as a bird, and is monologuing? - TFox Jan 15, 08:05 4
      - yes, but I think to add to it, on the other side of the room would be a wall full of expensive liquors that jack could see, but never reach. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 15, 08:06 1
        
        ...that the rats are drinking, and are soaked in, and z occasionally lights them and sends them over to Dawson like bombs. - TFox Jan 15, 08:08
