However, it was pretty dumb to re-build a major city which was destroyed by an earthquake due to its proximity to a major fault line. Kinda like the nuclear disaster at Fukushima. That was due to both an earthquake and a tsunami but yet, nuclear bad??? There was nothing wrong with the nuke plant, the problem was building one next to a fault line on the coast. Gee, what could possibly go wrong???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stryder1978 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Update: Will Smith's slap helped the Oscars become the second-lowest rated ever Maybe those fan-voted categories really helped convince people to tune in? By Sam Barsanti    It may be the only thing anyone’s talking about today, having generated so many utterly bizarre moments that it all seems like a horrific fever dream (They pre-taped a bunch of categories solely so they could cut out the time it takes for the winner to walk to the stage! BTS showed up for five seconds! Flash entered the Speed Force!), and that’s without even counting literally every aspect of the Will Smith/Chris Rock storyline. Unfortunately for the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences, though, a completely unhinged show where you never know what’s going to happen or what’s happening currently right before your eyes doesn’t translate to good ratings. Before we get too doom-and-gloom over this, let’s put a positive spin on it: The Oscar ratings are up from last year! The promise of the stupid fan-voted categories and CODA’s awards season run and the perverse curiosity we all shared over how the show would handle the non-televised categories actually translated to slightly more people watching than last year! Hooray! Go ahead and celebrate, Academy. You did it. But now we must point out that last year’s Oscars was the lowest-rated ceremony ever, so it would’ve taken lightning hitting the Dolby Theater and cutting out the entire broadcast to do any worse than the 2021 show. That one got around 9.8 million viewers, waaay down from the 23.6 million people who tuned in to see 2020’s pre-COVID Oscars, and last night’s show got somewhere around 13.7 million viewers—making it the second-worst ever.

LA 92 (Full Documentary) | National Geographic on YOU TUBE No argument from me King was a POS, however, even a POS deserves due process under the law. King was beaten excessively and was not a threat once he was on the ground. You see Steve, the law must apply to both the civilized and un-civilized in our society otherwise it really is not law at all. Just like better for 100 guilty men to go free than an innocent man be convicted. It was the out of control cops which divided the nation, not some idiot criminal who decided to run from the cops.

I did not mention how the weather during the riot was quite pleasant either. Nor did I mention I was there in the thick of it as I was required to go to LA to pick up some equipment for my job at the time. Nor did I mention what an awesome year 1992 was for me in general. A person does not have to bring up everything you know. For the record though, the riot was disgusting and any involved who engaged in criminal activity should have been prosecuted. There, happy now? Whoop's, almost forgot. I also got take-out at the Eastside Italian Market & Deli. Meatball sandwich to be exact. BTW, I'm still waiting for my motherf*****g ice tea!!!! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
