Ip Man 3 ........... 9/10


A nice addition to the Ip Man franchise. Brilliant Acting, endearing story, decent Cinematography and brilliant fight scenes. The movie's Score was brilliant, it immerses you into the film itself and makes you almost feel it's emotions as well as the characters.

The Tyson Fury scene and last Fight with Teung Chi was EPIC!!





Up Next IP Man 4. grin



Tyson fury or Mike Tyson?

Learn the genres, themes and settings that appeal to you. No one "hypes" anything here. People will be joyfully discussing a show they're enjoying and then you guys will rush and download expecting something entirely different from what the show is about and then come here to complain. Learn to do a bit of research. See a trailer, read some reviews. Don't blame the consequences of your ignorance on other people.

The sentence is suspended at the moment as it will not be enforced until Stone's application for a new trial because of jury bias is heard by the court, if the court determines that the application has merit then he won't serve it at all, we will be having a new trial altogether. Evidence abounds that the jury was indeed biased and I predict there will be a new trial. All these are ultimately irrelevant because I believe that no matter what the outcome of this case is, Trump will grant Stone a pardon if needed to keep him out of jail.


Trump has to win elections first.

Should Trump lose this election, he will suffer dearly

Any soldier who kills civilian, there is a military process to handle such not for people to be leaking security information that puts American soldiers in danger

When people are fighting Americans do they discriminate against civilians. When Al Qaeda was bombing America did they separate civilians from non civilians.


Very naive comment.

1. There was a military cover up of the incident. That is why the videos of killing civilians were leaked. Jesus christ man, use your head.

2. Is Al Qaeda a legitimate military force or a terrorist group. Are you comparing them to American military that is bound by international conventions?

Thats the problem with you liberals you care more about Non Americans than Americans. You were wailing about the people coming in the caravan while there are thousands homeless on the street of LA NewYork and major American cities

You spent days wailing about Soulemani who killed Americans, You are here celebrating another person who puts her own interest and Iraqis over Americans

Is the American government not run by Americans?

Why should the American government be killing civilians in a war?

That is the point.

2. How can anyone ascertain trunps true wealth when no one has his tax returns?

3. Can you point to any Presidential policies Obama used to enrich himself? I can point to many Trump did eg positioning his family in federal govt business. Using his hotel for official govt business.

Obama granted clemency to Chelsea Manning, who exposed US security secrets
Obama did the same for Oscar Rivera a man who was part of FALN a group that bombed US locations

Thanks for showing your dishonesty.

Chelsea Manning is a hero. She exposed how the usa military killed civilians in airstrikes both in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Yes, She broke the law but considering what she educated the public on, it makes sense for her to be pardoned.



Now, you are comparing this to Trump who pardined rich scammers and thieves who were his friends or associates. Is that the same?

Nice attempt at spinning, the so called "journalist" is condemning Trump for exercising his constitutional power to pardon but he saw nothing wrong with it when Obama did the same. Only one word for that, "BIAS"


No spin. Trump is pardoning his friends. Rich elites. He only cares about his friends or those his friends reccomend.


Obama pardoned people generally.

A perfect example of the bias of the fake news MSM, just look at the reaction of this fake news New York times "journarlist" when Trump granted pardons versus his reaction when Obama did the same time. And budaatum will be posting articles talking of Trump's "dishonest attacks on the media". What has he said about the media that is not true? They are all fake news, partisan liberal hacks


There is a difference in the tweets. Notice how the journalist mentioned trumps pardoned people by name.

And you think those countries are better than America? In what ways are they better than America?
UK that cannot defend themselves and has become the boy-boy of America? All these countries when they face any external aggression is it not America they run to?

What is the benefit or what advantage does it hold over America?

As far as I am concerned, America is not perfect but considering everything, its the best country in the world!!


This is the problem with many Americans. They know nothing about other countries.

There are many countries that are far better than the usa and there is research to back it up.

For instance, the Human Development Index ranks countries on various indicators to determine the most developed countries in the world.

Here are the most developed countries in the world ranked-

1. Norway
2. Switzerland
3. Ireland
4. Germany
5. Hong Kong
6. Iceland
7. Australia
8. Sweden
9. Singapore
10. Netherlands

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Development_Index


As you can see, the usa does not make the top 10 developed countries in the world.

America where your child school can shot up by a mass murdering student with an assault rifle.

America where people cannot afford to go to hospital. People with jobs cannot afford health insurance and die.

America where people cannot drink water in some states because of lack of environmental laws tackling fracking.

America where police can beat your sense out of you with police brutality and get away with it because "they are afraid for their lives"

America where the public school system doesnt teach proper history and about other countries. America where the public school is dying.

America where the average citizen has to enter debt because the cost of going to university is too high.

America that has never had a female leader. America that women dont have reproductive rights. Contraceptives and abortion are difficult to access by the average woman.


All these problems are almost non existent in other developed countries, especially the top EU countries.

Only an inbred american ignoramus thinks that America is the greatest country in the world.


Let me leave you with a video of an American tv show telling you why America is not the greatest country in the world..

Taxing the rich will never help the poor, it will only make them poorer. That is my point in summary.


False. They pay higher taxes in the UK and most of the EU and yet, they have a better welfare system, transport system and healthcare system.

Taxing the rich theor fair share works in a developed country

These people you call super rich are the ones that control America. If you poke them, they will poke the whole of America.


So you prefer to be ruled by oligarchs? Is it a Democracy or oligarchy you want?

There has to be some sense of equality. The one percent should pay their fair share.

Mind you, I am not saying this as a poor man but as a business owner who pays taxes.

How did these rich become rich? How did Bezos become rich? was it because the govt took Bill Gates money and handed it to Bezos?

You say USA wont collapse, How come all the Eastern bloc, Poland, Yugoslavia, Cuba Venezuela collapsed?


Dumbass. Why dont you use Sweden, UK, Iceland and Canada as examples of socialist leaning countries?

Furthermore, small to medium scale employ a lot of people if you do not know. There are more people in the 99% than 1%.

Edit.

It is one thing to get super rich, it is another to avoid paying taxes because of lobbying, loopholes and corruption

What Bernie is proposing is going to trickle down and affect average folks like you. Rich people own America, they own big business, real estate, commerce, etc. If you tax them heavily, they will increase cost of housing (rent), products, etc to make profit.

This is the same thing You people were heckling Trump about with the trade war, and him wanting to place heavy tarrif on China, you think it'll hurt China? No. It's the end users like you that'll get hurt.

As long as consumers exist, you can't hurt the Rich.


And how has tax cuts helped the poor? You keep feeding the rich and the poor will still get poorer.

Go back to american history. There was a time taxes were as high as 60% if not more. Billionaires didn't suddenly run away.

There is profit and there is super profit. Increasing taxes for the 1% wont lead to armageddon. USA wont collapse. Higher taxes for the 1 percent should be met with subsidies for small to medium business owners.

As for China, it is a different case. I agree with you that Trump is wrong with the trade war.

you mentioned Amazon paying 0 tax that’s evasion and has nothing to do with tax cut. Also there’s no metric to back that they won’t be evading if tax rises to 80%. Meanwhile tax evasion is not committed by the rich alone.
So what’s your point?

Who is asking for 80% tax?

Furthermore, the loopholes and tax cuts are easily remedied by having federal laws that close them.

You have no point

If you support Trump, you indirectly support tax cuts for the rich who do not need it.

Trump himself wont release his tax returns.


Bernie Sanders wants to tax billionaires. What is wrong with that? These are the one percent that have enjoyed tax cuts and many federal bailouts (which the right/republicans never see as socialism) and have escaped paying tax through various loopholes.
