I have been semi-obsessively reloading the Rotten Tomatoes page for V for Vendetta, seein' as I am killer looking forward to it, and this little gem caught my eye:
THAT'S BECAUSE IT IS, FUCKFACE!
Seriously. What defines a terrorist? Group of militants disguised as civilians, hiding their supplies in civilian areas? Use of violence and/or intimidation to get a government to give you something you want? Committing or threatening violence against the civilians of the other side to let them know you mean business? Often having a strong political or religious motivation?
Go look up the American Revolution in a history book.
Golly. George Washington was apparently a terrorist! But that can't be, because he was a revolutionary! Right?
Right?
I don't care that this Jeff Giles guy doesn't like the movie. I haven't even seen the thing yet; maybe I won't like it either. He can have any opinion on the movie he wants. BUT FOR GOD'S SAKE YOU FUCKING MORON HOW ARE THEY NOT THE SAME THING
Man, this is the type of post I make after I hang around mecha for too long.

Some guy in EVE has a bio that's all full of agent info. I copied it here for my own reference, but you might be interested too. I don't know how accurate it is but it certainly suggests that production agents kind of suck!
