  • Reply to: Smoking in "Avatar": Necessary to "Reflect Reality"?   14 years 2 weeks ago

    The smoking was so out of character and out of time it raises the question of whether someone was paid for her character to smoke.

    A stick of cigarette has been with you through thick and thin and has given you much comfort and pleasure during stressful situations. This is probably the reason why you just can’t let go of smoking. A smoker who plans to permanently quit smoking would have to be fully committed and has a strong desire to do so

    Wendell, Can we sue health insurers for canceling coverage due to non payment when the error is the insurer's? In my case, United is trying to cancel coverage for "non payment" because it didn't receive the second month's payment on my employer's newly instituted employee contribution plan ($96/mo). Prior to this fiscal year, we were not required to contribute. I sent a check for the first payment, as required, and then submitted the form for setting up an automatic withdrawal from my bank account. However, I discovered later that the insurer failed to set up the automatic payment withdrawal. The result was the second payment was not made. Now they want to cancel my coverage.

    I'm neither for, or against gay marriage but I do find myself becoming enraged when religious groups start interfering in how people choose to live their lives.

    I am not a member of any particular faith but that doesn't stop me from knowing what is right and wrong, but when churches, who should spend more time on getting their own houses in order, start going covert in a bid to enforce their beliefs it infuriates me.

    I mean...why would the catholic church make such a donation to fight something their religion tells them is wrong when according to several recent news reports they have a major problem with paedophiles within their ranks!

    As for NOM, they will be forced to disclose donors eventually, and I wouldn't be surprised if there were a number of well known individuals within those lists who would rather not be known to be contributors!
