WWE RAW LD 3/5/2012 - Holla at Ya' Boy!

He wasn't in G.I. Joe.

Rundown lost money, Walking Tall lost money when you factor in advertising, Doom lost money, Gridiron Gang lost money when advertising is put in.

The Rock is a lot like Jennifer Anniston. She's a major movie star...but no one is really sure why. Even Rock's kid movies don't do that well, when you factor in advertising. I know most movies make their money WAY more on home video sales than box office gross, but his movies don't sell terribly well past that point either.

For a "major movie star" his movies don't make nearly enough money to be qualified for that title. I'm not even saying he's all that bad of an actor. He's got phenomenal charisma, and can be good in supporting roles.

I'm not a Rock fan, but you have to be incredibly biased to say he's not a major movie star. He doesn't get paid multi-million dollar rolls for no reason.

You are certainly right about G.I. Joe. Not sure why that was included in the list I found. However, you want to say all those movies lost money but provide no info to back it up. You sound like you're just talking out your ass. I could care less if you're actually right or wrong, but bring some proof.
 
Fair enough

This is the part of his post I had a problem with. Anyone with a 6th grade education would know this

Well, I think it's important to note that:

1) Revere didn't do it alone, but thanks to that poem, everyone thinks he did.
2) While the Battle of Concord did have significant implications and was a plus for the colonists, it's not like it was make or break for the revolution or anything.

So, I mean, Revere was important, but not like...super important. Not fair to totally downplay, also not really reasonable to hold him up as some kind of mythical demigod or whatever.

:shrug:

It was probably an honest mistake since he is going to be in the new one
 
Okay, seriously, R-Truth needs to be a champion in 2012. I don't care if he makes up his championship. Just give him one already.
 
WHAT



THE


FUCK


you really are an idiot

Paul Revere stopped on his ride about 45 minutes in at a pub and when confronted by the Brits there...he gave up.

39 other people rode on the great lantern ride. Paul Revere got credit, seriously, because his name rhymed with "hear".

We think Paul Revere did all of these amazing things because of a poem written in the Civil War era to try and emphasize unity and patriotism.

William Dawes and Samuel Prescott get no credit, even though they rode further and did more. Granted, they were getting hammered too (and Prescott was trying to avoid going him to his wife at 1 am, which is the only reason he joined up), but they escaped from the British at the pub and kept riding after that.

There was no shouting "The British are coming, the British are coming!" this would have been stupid considering...you know...round about 1/5th to 1/4th of the country were loyal to the crown.

As for the second part

Young America is kinda cute. Like that rebellious kid who is rebellious for no real reason. You know all that "unfair taxation" we were having levied against us? For the longest time, no one was punished at all for not paying. It just wasn't worth the time for the British to really get on people for it.

Remember the French Indian Wars? The shit we started and had to beg to be bailed out by the British for? England got nothing out of that. They did it kind of as a favor. It cost them LOTS of money, to clean up out mess.

The Boston Tea Party was a drunken act of stupidity, that was covered up for later. It was prompted by Great Britain coming up with the Tea Act of 1773, which would give the colonists tea that was both cheaper and better than the tea they were getting from smugglers that were so prevalent at the time.

The British had NO idea that colonists were unhappy. The one guy who was really supposed to keep correspondence with the King REALLY liked the King. Ben Franklin was a long time supporter of the crown. Franklin even supported the Tax Act.

There was ONE FUCKING TAX we actually had to pay, primarily due to a peace keeping deal the British had after the fallout with the French Indian Wars, and we still bitched about that.

Don't get me wrong, glad it happened...but we really didn't have that much to complain about.
