While I'm not the most religious person you'll come across I don't like the attack on religion (specifically Christianity) throughout our society.

While separation of church has it's obvious purpose; not allowing state/federal sponsored or mandated religions but if an individual wants to speak about a religion, pray, sing coombaya all day long, they should be able to. However, a class leading a mass prayer is not an individual liberty it's sponsoring a particular religion which I don't agree with.

Bottom line: Individuals or groups of individuals who so choose to pray, wear religious attire, or speak about their religion should be able to do so.

I don't think it should have ever been taken out to start with.

Really liking the new stuff my friend and the neutral side is great I always had a hard time picking a side and that made it so much easier for me kodos to you my friend!

The redwood national park though of course is mainly known for the massive fantastic redwood trees, its also a 40 to 50 miles of the so beautiful coastline which is part of the national park system. This includes rocky promontories, sea stacks and beaches in the Pacific Ocean. Along the coast whales and myriads of sea life is observed from shore. The trails are especially mesmerizing in the early morning or on those days when there is medium fog. http://www.wildlifeworld360.com/redwood-national-park.html

The people who get hooked into this idolism, including the envy and lust are really the victims here. The media and mainstream society is a breeding ground for this in the way they elevate some people to the level of gods. It's the system that's sick. No matter what acting gig you did, if you did it well, it's something of which you should be proud. YOU did the acting, not someone through whom you live vicariously. The only people I really try to learn a lot about are the characters I play. What makes things worse is the negativity from those who live vicariously and from the industry itself, constantly promoting the nonsense that you have to "make it" by a certain age, that you're not a "star" if not enough people recognize you, etc.--in other words, constantly putting down actors by telling them, "you're not one of the special ones." The only time I plan to quit acting is when I'm dead. As you can see, this dumbs down the entire culture. Being also into astronomy, I'm fascinated by the planet Pluto, which I think is much more interesting than any person. Notably, Clyde Tombaugh, who discovered Pluto in 1930 with only a high school diploma, spent his teen years teaching himself trigonometry and astronomy for enjoyment. I encourage you to help your niece and daughter find other passions, those where they can be active participants. If not algebra, maybe something they don't associate with classwork or homework. Best of luck!

After seeing Tron Legacy and without seeing the original I have to say I've switched sides. Tron Legacy was not a very good movie. The special effects were decent but the movie wasn't very entertaining. I was was left very disappointed.

A quick list of things that have been changed on the site.

1.) Header and logo have been reduced in size to allow for more room for the main content. We've also added a new search bar and styling for other elements within the header.

2.) Top Rivalry, trophy, banner, etc.. has been removed.

3.) We've added a rivalry navigation menu where you can now view Top Rivalries, Popular Rivalries, and Upcoming Rivalries (You may not notice a huge difference between top rivalries and upcoming; this will change as more rivalries are added each day.)

4.) We've changed the People Page where you can now browse through the JealousBrother users.

5.) We've added a Neutral side to the rivalries so you can take a middle ground and comment without having to take one side or the other. This is important for rivalries that have two VERY different extremes where some users may not feel comfortable taking a side just to add a comment.

You can view the Neutral side fans by clicking on the view link within the Neutral fans header.

6.) We've added a Block User feature so you can decide what kind of experience you have on JealousBrother. While some users love intense argumentative debates other users may not. Now you have the choice. (This feature is still in the testing phase but is live on the site. Please let me know if you have any issues with it)

Closing: There are plenty of other changes that have been made and even more on the slate for future development (Including a family filter option that will give you the choice of censoring very foul words on the site instead of site doing it by default) and we are always open to suggestions for future features. Thank you all for you support. It means a great deal to us that you spend some of your time on our website.

VERY well put. I too did some acting back when I lived in California and I truly thirsted for the fame that so many people starved for. Looking back on it now I know it was silly of me but I did enjoy the few small gigs I got. Safeway training video's. (lol. I know it's barely a gig.)

My perspective has changed greatly as I've aged and as I've seen the affect celebrity idolism has had on my niece. Learning every detail about her favorite heartthrob has become more important than learning algebra, which breaks my heart. My view has even further changed after my daughter arrived.

This sick envy and lust people have for these other (equal worth) people truly does interfere with many actually achieving real goals in life.

I personally hope Americans take a major turn in the other direction and start reaching their true potential rather than worrying about whether that Pattison kid has BO or not.

There are no such things as "celebrities" or "royals." All people are created equal and are of equal worth. Showering certain people randomly favored by the media with money and attention not only makes no sense; it encourages people to pursue gimmicks rather than do something genuine to attain public accolades. I am an actress and writer, and while I love performing, no one deserves millions of dollars or to be worshipped as an idol because they can perform. "Celebrity culture" is idol worship, period, because it amounts to worshipping people, often people who have not accomplished anything noteworthy. It deprives genuinely talented people of opportunities by creating a false distinction between "big names" and "everyone else," giving preferential opportunities to the first category and denying the same opportunities to those deemed in the second category, even when the latter are more skilled and talented. "Celebrity culture" is toxic for other reasons. It fosters passivity by encouraging people to live vicariously through others rather than seeking their own meaningful, exciting experiences. It distracts people from real issues affecting them, thereby helping keep in power those politicians who support a corrupt system that benefits the wealthy few at the expense of everyone else. The word "star" was taken from astronomy, where it means an object that is self-luminous, or produces its own light. Notice that the light comes from within, not from outside, as for an object like a planet that only reflects the light of another body. We are all stars because we all can generate our own light; we don't need validation by the media. People need to stop being planets, letting their lives revolve around others, and get in touch with the star within.

Sadly, It's over Mel. I really enjoyed a lot of his movies but there's only so much people can forgive. Cramer from Seinfeld isn't doing a whole lot these days either.

This is an old rivalry but we may have to start a new one. Who would make the better president? Trump or Stern. Okay that's a stretch.

While I tend to agree with you I can't ignore the reality that JealousBrother thrives on Freedom of Speech. You can say whatever you'd like; regardless of the merit of your comment. To ignore the filter invades on that free speech would be a mistake I believe.

I've gotten a bit sidetracked adding the NEW "popular" tab to the rivalry navigation area. I will be getting to the family filter options very soon.
