You should begin your sentences with a capital letter and end them with some form of proper punctuation.

Education FTW.

Recliners sound a little much, I'd probably pass out. Alcohol has never been a problem before, and the Irish always bring babies into bars, didn't you know that? You can't escape them! I don't know WTF this "state of the art screens" thing is, because they're all good here...

You are a good sport and I like you.

One purpose of education is to teach us the proper way to do things. If we don't do those things properly when we are not in class, what is the purpose of all that time we spent learning them in the first place?

The parallel I'm drawing here is to what we do an do not value as a society. And more and more we value ideals that we do not actively put into practice. I believe this is one huge reason why we are losing our center. Whether you are talking about using good grammar or using racial epithets or playing your stereo too loud, it's all the same thing -- we are becomeing more and more a lip-service society.

OP:

Next time, get up out of your chair, go to the manager and tell him or her that there's people with smelly food from outside of the theater and there's some loud conversation from the front of the theater, audible from the back. You'll get a refund, you'll be in the right, and no one will call you racist.

You might miss the movie, but tell me, how'd Paranormal Activity 2 end? Oh, right. You missed it anyways.

You know, you could actually read the thread and then understand it was already suggested. TWICE. ;)

Yeah, I know, but I'm just prepping myself for what I'm going to sayduring the movie to my fellow movie-goers when I go out tonight. I'm working out the speech.


...Oh, I'm going to the special hell.

I wouldn't be surprised if it had school buses that were eternally just out of reach, with windows juuuust tinted enough that you couldn't quite see inside, but enough to give you a hint.
