You cheered for the shark, didn't you?

Speilburg made no attempt to rationalize with the shark either, or try to figure out the shark's motives.

The shark killed therefore it had to be killed before it killed again.

Treating terrorists by the same standard makes them more afraid of us and more willing to stop, as per The Golda Meir Standard, which says Terrorists will stop when they fear more for the lives of their families then they do for their own.

"Terrorists will stop when they fear more for the lives of their families then they do for their own."

I think that saying, and I'm paraphrasing, goes "The Palestinians will stop the violence when they care more about the lives of their own children than they do about the deaths of Israelis."

"You cheered for the shark, didn't you?"

Be careful, PETA may be watching.

Uhh, no. I was a kid when I saw the film. The shark scared the bejesus outta me. I was scared to go swimming even in a pool for a long time afterwards. But the film was definitely more entertaining while the shark was alive.

Same with Alien.

You don't want to watch this or that film- that's your business. I want to watch this one. You make me want to watch it that much more ;-)
