Sometimes I miss having certain fish but I haven't had a desire to do water changes(not since the 90's).

Maybe its because I'm young and don't have kids - that is to say, maybe I've got more energy.

I’m home with my fish all the time, but I get that urge. And in the summer I’ll all of a sudden feel a strong need to do a water change on the pond. So I’ll just do it regardless if it was time or not. Haha

I done this too. They had weekly change day but if I got bored in the middle of the week I didn't hesitate to do a water change. I actually really enjoy tank maintenance.

From what I know of the people who have tried to commit serious suicide and been stopped (and often sent to asylum and have what few rights that remain taken away)
About 90% spend the rest of their lives in a near constant state of misery,sadness and rejection , sometimes it would of been much kinder to let them die.

That may be so, but in this case the kid got out of the car and called someone. That to me indicates he likely wanted help. I'm no expert but that's how it seems to me.

It happens, want to say it's normal, but pretty sure we aren't .

We are a weird and exceptional breed, to quote :"to weird to mass produce, but to unique to let die out"

Haha

Sad though. I used to be a big dinero fan. Now I wont watch any of his movies

I kinda feel the same way.

I know. Heat, casino, and goodfellas are favorites. I can bring myself to watch them since he started his baby fit rants.

I don't know why you wouldn't enjoy the movies anymore, some of them are true classics.
It shouldn't matter if you agree with any entertainers politics or not if they are "entertaining " you. After all they are just actors, musicians etc.
I do wish they would keep quiet about their views though, no matter what their views are as I have no interest in their opinions , doesn't matter if I agree or disagree with them, as far as I'm concerned their "job" is to act or sing etc. Im not interested in their opinions but I am interested in good movies, music and books. Really their opinion on anything is no more valid than the guy who works at my local bakery. It's just the general public seems to hold celebrities in higher regard for some reason.
I'm actually looking forward to the new Deniro/Scorsese movie, think it's called The Irishman or something.

It's just that this guy has been so over the top with his rants throughout the past year....its like,"well damn,what on earth did Trump ever do to Deniro for him to feel that way and express such hatred?"His hissyfits come to mind everytime I hear or think of his name lol.
I spoke on celebrities and their opinions in my post #27530, I would rather they kept to counting their millions and stayed out of trying to be part time politicians.
Mark Wahlberg kind of "get's it".

Its not the political difference that does it. Its the how they go about voicing there opinions and the smug pompous attitude they have. Its like they actually think they make the world turn. Agree with krich. The vulgarity and out rigt hate is over the top. Take Ashley judd i used to like her movies...now when i ever i see her i think of dirty..... ah well just google her comments about that are bound to come up lol. Best i not say wouldnt want to be a trouble maker

It's because of us he's where he's at. Its my prerogative not to watch or support some a_s clown. Just like me not watching Kevin Spacey movies. Its a product just like anything else. Jim Carey is also in this category now.

That's just me though. I wish others would do the same but to each their own

Exactly. Its like watching espn when they kept doing it. Stay in your lane

 

[jaws7777]

I honestly dont care for any of them being so forth coming about their views. Even the ones that support my ideas. Shut up make movies blah blah blah.

I forgot the guys name who plays venom tom hardy i think. I kind of like him. Wife was telling me that some reporter was asking him stupid social issue questions and he kind of went off. I think he said something along the lines of why would my opinions matter anyway im just an actor.

 

[MrsE88]

I understand not going to theaters to watch movies with certain actors/actresses or buying their movies. Since that does support them.
But that wouldn’t stop me from watching movies I’ve already bought and paid for before hand

I could careless about any “famous” person or their views.
I’m mean, their job is to act. Put on a show. So......why should we take anything they say seriously? How do we know they aren’t acting?
If anything I think their opinions mean less just for that reason alone. Lol
They could easily be getting paid to take a stand on something they don’t even really believe in.

Yup. Just like when they receive awards and start crying like "oh, wow" *sniff* "thank you so much" *sniff sniff* I always wonder how legitimate that actually is.
