Could someone hate Avatar, but still "see"?

You say we should cooperate with corporations, but they have never cooperated with us. Does that sound fair?

What is wrong with a nonviolent revolution? What is wrong with people simply saying "no more" and revolting against the corporations and government. The founding fathers said it themselves, a revolution in a situation like we are in now is not just something we should do, it is our duty.

That is a valid point and gives me something to think about. I guess my advice might work for some problems but not others. Things like BP, yeah you might be right. Gotta think on this one I'm thinking about the everyday person more so than the big business owner who doesn't care.

I'd like to hear some other voices if anyone has an opinion. I mean, I believe in respect through arguments is the only way to solve anything, but TM has a point on business owners.

What was the original post about? Lol kinda forgot where I was going with it. I kinda just put a question out that was imo interesting, and I thought it would be interesting how people responded. Like the "no"s, I just think its kinda silly or something to think we are the only people who have this level of understanding - all based on a movie. But then I ask myself why did I even start this thread? What was I trying to achieve? And I don't know but it did start some interesting talk. I like it.

Sorry about the rant there I just never have faith in my threads,
