It's quite simple, good ideas = money, bad ideas = none. Why risk trying something new and not making money when you could do what has been proven to make money? Same with movies essentially.

As for the the pony thing, I can't help you there.

I wish some people could really take a joke.

^The movies part is a prefect example, I'm sure most of you have heard of "Bollywood," India's movie studio, one of the biggest on earth. Hell, the thing is, every movie has the same concept:
"Guy likes girl and girl likes guy, girl needs to be married to another guy. Parent's don't like the person the girl likes, The other guy does something retarted and the first guy proves to the parents he's good and he gets married."

Any movies that usually doesn't have that concept in India gets rejected more or less.

Personally, I define a "Good job" as something you have a passion for and like doing, if you do get paid a good amount, that's double the win.

I'd much rather play a game that does gameplay that's been seen before well, rather than a new game that tries a lot of new stuff done poorly. There are always exceptions, though.

I've recently read a bit of Nietzsche, but that's as I've gone with philosophy so far.

I've read a bit about him too. "GOD IS DEAD" indeed. >.>'

As for the whole thing, why not turn this thread into one big Philosophical discussion? (Like what you guys are doing right now?)

And for my question, why is it that the people who know the least are often the loudest? (Such is the metaphor that an empty can makes a lot of noise when a full one doesn't)

Well let me answer your question JosephAllen with a favorite quote of mine:

"Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools talk because they have to say something"

-Prashant Bhatia

What about people who do rallies then? PETA, feminists and the like? (No offense.)

I remember one of my profs mentioning that a student of his described feminists as "loud-mouthed b*tches". (Once again, no offense.)
