Answer 1

I'm not sure if you're saying THEY are GETTING too much, or they're NOT.
Either way, I think they do get too much. Why isn't that money spent ending poverty, or paying for medical procedures that people can't afford? Alot of them are getting paid and then acting as awful role models. I think it seems a rather gloomy vision in the American dream. If you think of what some people make in comparison::::One thing I always think of is paramedics. They SAVE lives, they are around things that can kill them (violence, blood bourne illnesses)/ they have the ability to 'shock hearts' ; intubate babies, deliver life saving medications, and most make less than 20 bucks an hour. Some just above minimum wage. So, where's the comparison? Why are our values so messed up? That we value ball throwing alcoholics and gun toting criminals more than life saving medics? And that's just one career!

I get headaches at the cinemas. 3D movies give me full on migraines. There's just no escape from those big screens right in my face, jerking from picture to picture and worst still shaky filming makes me want to vomit. I've found sitting as far back in the audience as possible helps. And taking a liquid advil before the movie starts helps. If it's a 3D movie, I take extra strength before the movie starts and a second one halfway through the movie. My preference is to just not to go to the cinema. Funny, I can handle a long night in a club or at a concert with music so loud my skin vibrates to the beat. I don't get motion sickness. But cinemas are painful.
