  • I really miss The Office, but I'm glad to see that someone in this country has enough of a spine to stand up for themselves.

  • Nobody realizes what kind of hard work writing is. That these workers should be reamed by the studios is an embarrassment to our society. Thank goodness organized labor still exists, otherwise those with wealth and power would *always* hand it to the middle class laborer. Oy.

  • It's a little more complicated than that.

  • This is idiotic. They get what they accepted (their job), so they need to stfu.

  • I agree :)

  • Niech się ten strajk wreszcie skończy... Błagam!

  • Don't use my phrase "cop out" if you do you have to pay up bitch.

  • C.S. Lewis? So don't worry about originality when writing because even if it has been written before as long as it is yours you are original?????? Sounds like a "cop out". Ha ha, cop out, I just made that saying up. You can't argue with Lewis.

  • So, unless you have some beef with the masterful theologian Lewis, who gave the world some of the most lovable works of fiction in the twentieth century, drop it with originality.

  • As C.S. Lewis put it,"Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it."
