About DaveAR

I think of myself as a "common sense" conservative. I'm from NJ and am now living in Brooklyn.

The government should withdraw funding for art it considers offensive.

I don't think the government should be funding art anyway. In any event, the government's money is really just our (tax) money, and I wouldn't want to "donate" money towards art that is offensive. I'm...

Venues should allow text messaging during live performances.

It all depends on what type of venue or show. At a rock concert, I don't see how texting can hurt. But at a play or some kind of poetry reading (or any other "quiet" event), it can be very annoying an...

O.J. Simpson's book, "If I Did It," should be published.

Let him publish the book. He does still have that right. Most of us have our minds made up and think he did it anyway. Publishers can choose whether or not they want to deal with it, and everyone can ...

Screenwriters should be present on the movie set.

If they want to, and I assume most screenwriters would want to.

Saturday Night Live's depiction of David Paterson is not appropriate.

I realize that SNL regularly takes shots at politicians, but I think they went a little too far this time by making fun of a physical disability. It's one thing to joke about someone saying something ...

Conan O'Brien is a good replacement for Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show".

Sure he is. He's funny, an NBC staple and already has a big following.

It is not acceptable for musicians to lip-sync during live performances.

People did not pay top dollar just to watch the musicians move around on stage while listening to the recording. They paid to see and hear the music played live. Don't cheat your fans.

Air travel is safer since 9-11.

I think the newer safety and security procedures make air travel safer.

It was a good decision for NBC to move Jay Leno to primetime.

I guess it was a good move financially because it will be much cheaper to have a talk show at 10 PM than to pay to have a prime-time series running, so NBC will save a lot of money, and that is what ...

Obese travelers should not pay more for airline tickets.

Is it really necessary to humiliate people like this?

Heath Ledger should receive a posthumous Academy Award nomination for his role in "The Dark Knight".

I have not seen the movie, so I don't know what his performance is like yet. But if it's good enough to get him the nomination if he was still alive, then then he should get the nomination posthumousl...

Printed books will not become obsolete.

Books have symbolism. A book is something that is so ingrained into society and culture. I can see printed newspapers becoming obsolete - it seems like it already on its way down that road. Scholars, ...

Awards are not a valid measure of an actor's talent.

Talent is not something you can measure exactly on a scale to truly determine who is the best. It will always be a matter of opinion. In many cases, the vast majority of people may share the same opin...
