CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Region Coding

hehehe most purchased DVD's are region coded. when you make a "backup" of one, it takes away the region coding 
I just think its silly! And I dont agree with it! And I like to complain a lot

here is a page with basic dvd region codes, you need to scroll down
http://hometheaterinfo.com/dvd3.htm
most dvd players made today are multi region or have a setting on them to accomodate dvds made for other regions so you can watch them without any bother, although its always best to check the region code of the dvd before buying it should you have an older dvd player

Its bull.
I buy a movie, but can only play it in some places?
Unless its a special dvd player?
Or I 'hack' it?
I don't even understand the reasoning behind the production....
What does it matter where I live, when I watch their movie?

no you can watch a dvd wherever you so choose what im saying is your dvd player needs to be multi region or have the facility to accomodate different region formats if you want to watch a dvd from say region 2, i dont know what sort of dvd player you have but most dvd players these days have this
ive bought dvds from all over the world on ebay and can watch them no bother, its your player that you need to check out, what make/ model is it ?

Good looking and modest
Just google your model and look for all zone codes.
I bought a new LG recently and simple googled the model to find the all zone code. (as I have done with previous players)
For instance all I had to do was press pause without a DVD in it and then punch in the six number code (which I got after googling for all zone codes)and that brought up the hidden menu which had my current zone entered (zone 4), then all I had to do was change the zone number to zero (you have a choice of 0 to 6) and zero is all zones and hey presto an all zone machine. If your player was not all zone when you bought it, then it is very easy to make it one.
