Apparently. Rumour has it that they've made a few movies in Mumbai, for example.

All that remains is to show that biological systems replicate in such a way as to satisfy the minimal criteria required for evolution to apply to them, something which has already been adequately shown time and again. At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.

Hmm... since there's nothing outside of america, there can't be non-american media, but that animated stuff is just too weird. Maybe some americans made it treacherously.

Well who doesn't have $5,000 saved up? :eyebrow:

I have very few friends my age (I'm almost 30) who have $5000 or more saved up. I also have some friends who, if not for universal health care and special government drug plans to supplement private insurance for low income earners, would be in giant piles of debt.

i can't help but get the impression you live in a completely different world from most of the people on this forum and most of the people in america and that this probably affects your political views by a large margin
ask moderation about reading serious moderation candidates TGs without telling them about it until afterwards and/or apparently refusing to confirm/deny the exact timeline of TG reading ~~~ i hope you never sent any of the recent mods or the ones that got really close anything personal!

signature edit: confirmation has been received. they will explicitly do it before and without asking. they can look at TGs basically whenever they want so please keep this in mind when nominating people for moderator or TGing good posters/anyone!

That's why we don't take you seriously.
You actually think that poor people doing what it takes to not starve somehow makes them 'communist'.

50!? A minimum wage worker makes only 15,000 a year. That's not enough to live on.

You're the one who made the claim that the average person makes 50000 a year.
Guess what's usually used for average income? Median.
Therefore, half of the population is above, and half is below.
