    • People are not focusing on the dangers of bad diet, obesity. If they pushed as hard, half as hard, as they did in ‘anti-smoking’ it would be a good thing.

    • I think , when one is industrious , doing a lot of houseworks that can be considered exercise, sheor he will get obese. It is the lack of activities along with eating too much of everything that makes one obese.
      Obesity is what really makes one have a lot of sicknesses, like diabetes , hypertension to name a few. Once obese, the person even have rhe difficulty to move anymore because they pant when they do succeeding household works. Thus, they get more obese and sicker.
      Thus, everyone is enjoined to eat in moderation and see to it that they exercise or do activities that can jiggle any fat that maybe forming in one’s body.

    • Correction on my comment , for the first sentence it should be ” she or he will NOT get obese. Thank you.

    • It’s incredible that it lasted only 3 seasons because my memory of it, seems like it lasted much longer. Probably because I really really liked the show. In my mind I probably wanted it to last longer. 🙂

      • I feel the same. To think there were only three seasons… but then… considering 79 epis and today 28 is more standard, that’s why it seems longer.

    • That is true. Ultimately, cheap prizes for a service done or for an item bought, will eventually cost them more. If the cheap item gets damaged, it is usually cannot be repaired anymore and just have to buy a new one. So, gone is the money you saved , but paid more than what you saved in the lung run.

    When I saw this movie, the first time, it knocked me across the room.  It was the most powerful experience.

    • I have seen the entire Matrix series before and you are absolutely correct when you say you miss a crucial point with a blink of your eye.
      But such movies are not for everyone. Only a limited section of viewers will be able to correlate the events together.
      I loved watching it though it required loads of concentration and mental ability.

      • Less intelligent people can see a kind of ‘kung fu’ movie, and still enjoy it… but not as much as those who know what they are seeing.

        • there is a very big difference between seeing and understanding. The second ones stand far ahead of the first ones.

          • What made the movie so important to me was that I was a hacker, so I was already in Neo’s shoes, and had often had this sense of The Matrix. I’d read Alice, knew Plato’s analogy of the Cave. For those who only saw a Sci-Fi show, they missed so much. We used to debate the meaning of the Matrix, the names chosen for the characters, and watched all three of the Matrix more than once.

    • This is one of my favorite Sci-Fi movies, and I believe it is one of the best Sci-Fi movies made so far!

    Americans are sharply divided these days. The irony is that I actually thought we were seriously divided when Obama was in office.  But ever since Trump ran, won and took office I have heard nothing but yelling […]

    • I’m not American nor do I live in America so I probably shouldn’t be commenting here but I couldn’t resist because I saw the tweets of the people on my timeline and they were outraged. Everyday, Trump signs on something and it outrages people.

      I think Trump would be one of most hated Presidents of America in history if he continue to act rashly. He’s changing things too rapidly without consulting his public and the result is the outrage of his people.

      I mean, people even celebs who DON’T normally comments on politics are speaking out and those rallies at airports and on the streets are saying something. He should try to connect with his public humbly and discuss why he want these changes that he’s actively doing. All I see on his twitter is hate and continues blaming of all the wrongs he sees.

      It’s sad and scary to see America this way. Hopefully things will turn around for the better and all the hate and divide you’re all going through right now will turn into unity and peace.

      • Each say I don’t know what to expect. But I expect something!

        By the way, it’s perfectly fine for non-Americans to comment. Decisions made in this country’s Oval Office have far-reaching impact. Every citizen in every country has the right to be concerned and should have a voice. If you heard gunshots in your neighbor’s house, would you say nothing or would you call the police? If a leader of another country was or is making decisions that could reach wherever you are and have an adverse effect, should you not speak on the matter?
