Transformers: Dark of the Moon: Movie Review
Neoavatara ^ | June 29, 2011 | Neoavatara

Posted on 06/29/2011 6:54:11 AM PDT by Neoavatara

Transformers: Dark of the Moon, the third in the Transformers series, is in some ways the perfect summer movie. A movie where you can turn off your brain, ignore reality, and simply enjoy sugar sweet Hollywood mayhem.

The movie starts with a basic concept: that the space race in the Cold War was focused on reaching the moon first, not for its scientific achievement, but to obtain alien technology that both the Soviets and Americans secretly knew had crashed on the dark side of the moon millenia ago. Americans, led by Neil Armstrong, get there first...but keep the information hidden.

"I never asked for such nor promoted such and that isn't the issue with blogpimps."

you have said repeatedly that most blog pimps are reprints from other sources. Logic tells us they don't hold the copyright. Yet you repeatedly want them to post the whole piece. So make up your mind either you want them to reprint the whole thing on Free Republic or you don't.

Or is it a case that you ramble on so much you have no clue as to what you have posted before?

If you come into my home and start smoking, which is perfectly legal, and I tell you that I prefer that you smoke outside, what would you do? You could go to either the deck, the patio, or the porch to smoke. Or you could ungraciously insist on smoking inside my home, since after all, it’s perfectly legal to smoke.

Now you, Neovatara, and newheart come into Jim Robinson’s living room, and he has stated politely that he prefers that Neoavatara and other bloggers not excerpt their own material nor lure FReepers away from Free Republic. But because it’s what you feel like doing, and of course, it’s perfectly legal, you spit in his face and do what you want.

You’re all three really crappy guests, just as if you were polluting someone’s living room with smoke, you pollute Free Republic with your blog pimping and the defense of same.

Shame on you.

"I still think you fail to understand Jim Rob’s position on this."

You mean his position to NOT posting copyrighted material in full on Free Republic unless one get's the Author's Permission first?

Remember post 9 has been my point all along, The Blog Pimp Police wanted to open up Free Republic to the possibility of more copyright litigation.

Have you even read any of my posts?

BTW if I say you can't smoke in my house I have the right to show you the door. So in that sense it isn't legal so your analogy as well as your reading comprehension sucks.

You cannot be so dense that you don’t know the difference between a blogger who has produced his own material and one who has copied from someone else.

Are you pretending to confuse the two? It is abundantly clear that Jim Robinson’s polite request is that bloggers who have their own material to contribute to Free Republic post it in full.

It’s really very simple, but the smoke and mirrors surrounding your arguments turn it into a risible game that you are obviously trying to play. And the only reason you play is because you know you’re defending a blog pimp, and you know it is wrong to do so.

There is none so blind as he who will not see. My analogy is internally consistent and can’t be broken by some mad dog who wants to change all the rules to suit himself and his disgusting friends (blog pimps)

You erroneously conflate blogging and blog pimping.

Actually, I don't. I just have a gentleman's disagreement with a few good Freepers as to where to draw the line. But hey, I still vote for any of them for president before I'd vote for any Dem.

Perhaps a more important question would be: Does erroneous conflation contribute to global warming? (No but it sure contributes to thread warming.)

No, I mean Jim Rob's position on blogpimping (which you seem to like to ignore).

Btw, PetroniusMaximus is not a member of the "Blog Pimp Police". He is just another poster who dislikes folks trying to use FReepers like a hit farm.

Btw, why do you like pimps so much? Why the strong irresistible urge to defend all that they do?

It may be Mr Robsinson's request (yet he makes it not a rule) but I wasn't addressing Mr. Robinson I was Addressing Blog Pimp Policeman dumbergunner. Who routinely claims that Blog Pimps should post their work in full and refuses to click the link then states most Blog Pimps use second hand material.

You do see the problem with such an argument don't you?

So you are an idiot.

Clearly words written in English are lost on you.

Is there another language that suits you?

You still don’t know the difference between a “blogger” and a “blog pimp”. Until you know the difference conversing with you is no different than showing a chicken a card trick.

"Why the strong irresistible urge to defend all that they do?"

could you post and example of such?

(And once again we have another example of the Blog Pimp Police's lack of reading comprehension.)

I’m not sure I’m interested in pursuing that many tangents after a non-rebuttal.

Maybe some other time.

So... You expect me to make my own arguments and humblegunner's arguments as well? He has no need for me to defend his position, for he is more than capable of doing that himself. If you don't understand the plain English that we are speaking and need some help understanding the simple, one-sentence concept that we are attempting to explain to you, I suggest an ESL course forthwith.

I see you are still dancing around with the smoke machine and the fancy MylarTM mirrors. But you don't fool me for a second. I've met your kind before.

Wow, "Non sequitur" Much?

Or is Non sequitur your standard tactic when you've been pwned royally on one of your absurd assertions?

Study up and get Mom or Dad to help you with your next ramble.

hahah Accusing me of violating dumbergunners 1st Amendment Rights is a howler for sure. I've shown the post to several local friends and we are all still chuckling over that one!

Thanks for the laugh!

Congratulation! I do believe Mad Dawgg has officially jumped the shark with the above post.

What - you can’t see the beautiful logic there? Don’t ask a blog pimp to post their work, because they (he admits) often copy other copywritten sources, which is a bad thing (he admits), so therefore blog pimps must be.....what the hell IS he saying?????

Ahhh you replied to a post not directed at you so weren't you doing exactly that?

Let me guess if I look in Webster's Dictionary next to the word Clueless I would see a digital representation of yourself?

Seriously your post is an attempt at self-ridicule by sarcasm... right?
