Wow, Mr. Racist got to stir his ugly head up. How hard is selling shoes, maybe you should ask next tiime you go in to buy some and you will get an ear full. I dare say it is harder then writting an episode of Full House. I have seen High School plays written and directed by teenagers that were much better than what is on TV today. All the writers could have bee lawyers huh? I don't believe that and neither does anyone else. Writers should get payed but millionairs on strike is stupid.
Here is a challenge ... ( 3 months ago by GuRiRu)
Here is a challenge for you writers, write something so good that it will compel me to turn on my TV to watch something other than the News. Or try writing a TV show that mentions Catholicism without being COMPLETELY WRONG about it on every account. Try putting even one, just ONE well formed Latin Sentence into a script. But you know what I will take before all of that, if you stop putting Racist Stereotypes on TV constantly. I don't want to see that and shouldn't have to.

I have a challenge for you, write your won comedies and stop expecting society to entertain the shit out of you for free if you are not willing to give writers their due wages.
do you honestly ... ( 3 months ago by bakdgreat)
do you honestly think brainlessly pitching shoes is harder than writing an episode of full house? You have clearly underestimated the cleverness of writers and OVERestimated what it takes to be a lawyer. These days ANYBODY with enough resolve could take the bar, but not everyone has the wit and NATURAL talent and creative ability to be a writer. True, there is crap on the tube today, but even the CRAP is hard to write! Most people dont know how to write comedy because most people are BORING!
In my opinion, as a ... ( 2 months ago by katrinafilipina1988)
In my opinion, as a writer myself, it's not about the money. It's about sharing what you learned, what your thinking
 and what you know. look at Jesus Christ, does he get payed when he preaches? No! And it's not that I wouldn't want to get payed when I write articles or stories, it's just that for me, writing is not all about the money. [STUPID COMMENT]

Corporate greed! Maximum efficiency! Outsourcing! Profit!

Jesus may not get paid for his teachings but the millions of religions that pervert his word do. The fact that Jesus has been dead for almost 2000 years and he was not the one who wrote the word other did.

Unfortunately yes. ... ( 2 weeks ago by DirkXXVI)
Unfortunately yes. I still can't believe the writers won with all the crap being placed on market by Hollywood. The only thing I thought worth keeping were the writers working in television as a good amount of them put out quality work, while the movies being released these days are usually a joke.
Yes and no. There ... ( 2 weeks ago by DirkXXVI)
Yes and no. There are times in America where the price for care in some cases is very high however the quality of care is top class. Thanks to the American System I got completly cured of a condition that usually last a lifetime. If I was in Canada I probably would have had to wait about a year just to get treated. A lot of people think that UHC will fix everything but usually those people are the ones that ignore the horror stories from countries like Canada and the UK.
I agree, DirkXXXVI. ... ( 1 week ago by 12al34)
I agree, DirkXXXVI. It seems as though whenever a poor bunch of writers wants cash for their "chicken feed" scripts, they'll complain and ask cash for their handy work. They should work harder and put quailty into what they make, lest their "writers strike" will kill them fast due to failed films and tv shows.
Can you imagine how ... ( 2 days ago by oYoYebutu)
Can you imagine how much an author is denied every single time I read their books again and lend them to all my family, friends, coworkers, neighbours...? Have you ever thought of how much an author is deprived of because of public libraries lending the books to whoever cares to have them for a week or two and never paying the poor scribblers a single dime? What has the world come to? Is Gezus asleep?
