This is fairly unsurprising in itself, but the
graph that shows just how Netflix is doing in comparison with its
competitors might be interesting to you. Although 51% of
American Internet users is not the same as 51% of Americans, so half of
Americans do not use Netflix Smile And the rest are busy playing Fallout
4

STAR WARS THE FORCE AWAKENS TV Spot - So it's... not a sword? But a lightsaber doesn't cut through it? Huh.


IT's a blade made from Cortosis Weave. It was used extensively in The Old Republic games.

Those guys from Anonymous are such clowns.


As for Star Wars, a black Jedi as lead character? That's like putting 50cent as a hacker (can't remember which film was). LMAO

Well if Anonymous can spoil ISIS plans I'm in support.

Mojoman, not sure where you reside but stop being racist. I don't care if the lead Jedi is Asian, as long as they can act the part and be believable that's all that matters.

3 billion USA internet users.. 350 million actual population. 43 million subscribers is not half of anything. So I don't know what that Netflix article is saying. The math is just wrong.

That tree cutting machine is awesome! LMAO!

I do not see how is that racist. Still a human, is it not?
Or are you saying that black people are not of the human race?

It's not wrong, it's just a weak lie.
Welcome to the half-truths of the corporate world.

Yep, watch it a few times myself.

Black movies are discriminating, too. Though they would look really dumb with white folk acting in them.
I think that's the point he was trying to make. Though I am not sure why: Samuel Jackson is not white either and he did a fabulous job in Star Wars - not as a lead character though.

How are black movies discriminating? WTF. Are you smoking the green stuff?? Most stupid comment I've heard today. Lots of movies with white people replacing different nationalities/colours. The Hunger Games; Katniss, Last Airbender;white instead of asian, Lone Ranger, Johnny Depp, Othello, The Party; Peter Sellers, Star Trek;Benedict Cumberbatch. It's not discrimination, it's more because nobody was interested in the role or there was better. What movie ever follows the book? Yet, all excellent movies. So a black Jedi, who gives a shit? So he's black and he's a good actor. All that matters. To sit there and say a Black Jedi as a lead character? Is clearly discriminating. Or 50cent as a hacker in Escape Plan. Why is there something in the book that states Hush was white? Or laughing that a black guy is a hacker?? Mojoman, is clearly a bigot.

species > Human
race is something else Wink

Racist =/= realist.

Realist: while white people and Arabs where doing math, mapping skies, building ships, gun powder, weapons, industry etc., Black people where wearing banana leaves and spears. That's why they where easy to enslave in the first place. They are simply inferior.

Racist: I hate niggas taking our jobs, they should be in cotton fields. (I am not racist, this is just an example)

You're right, my bad, sorry.
Though according to these definitions you can't really talk about another person without being racist.
If you call someone stupid, an idiot, whatever, you're being racist because it's a characteristic of the person you're referring to...

What the hell are you talking about, restrictions, download limits? I got none of those 100Mb/s down, 15MB/s up uncapped. No problems here. I use both Cdn and US Netflix without issue.

I read some time ago that a lot of internet providers in USA are limiting monthly download limit. And 'Fair Usage Policy' is nothing new in USA and Canada...Now, since I don't live there I can't tell what is true and what is not therefore I can only assume things :/
