  1. WWE. Cuz the DVD will outlast the Warrior.
  2. What are you pissing and moaning about now? The Democrats WILL exploit this for political gain, and the photos will be used as propaganda to drum up support in the Arab world for Islamic terrorists. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Of course they will. As well I say they should. If Bush and company don't want to do it right, if they can't keep their shit together, then they deserve all the grief they get. It's the conservatives war Vyce. Deal with it and own it. You do know it's POLITICS right? Besides my point was that the media spotlight will be shown upon the Dems response and completely overshadow the horseshit that took place in the prison. Nobody really gives a fuck if the Dems do or don't pick this up. It will become THE issue, distract everyone nicely, and go back about its business. THAT is what I am "pissing and moaning" about.
  3. Yeah, it seems the case of "the answers you are looking for are not exactly what you need". However, this isn't going to be a case about abuse to prisoners. It'll be a case of "the democrats trying to exploit a tragic event for political gain". You know what though? They'll be right and it won't even matter afterwards as the debate will be shifted to something else. So it's not like Bush has anything to worry about because the idea that justice will be served in this case will have taken a back seat to the spin doctor.
  4. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050929/ap_on_...u_ghraib_photos Judge Orders Release of Abu Ghraib Photos By LARRY NEUMEISTER, Associated Press Writer 2 hours, 45 minutes ago NEW YORK - A federal judge Thursday ordered the release of dozens more pictures of prisoners being abused at Abu Ghraib, rejecting government arguments that the images would provoke terrorists and incite violence against U.S. troops in Iraq. U.S. District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein said that terrorists "do not need pretexts for their barbarism" and that suppressing the pictures would amount to submitting to blackmail. "Our nation does not surrender to blackmail, and fear of blackmail is not a legally sufficient argument to prevent us from performing a statutory command. Indeed, the freedoms that we champion are as important to our success in Iraq and Afghanistan as the guns and missiles with which our troops are armed," he said. Hellerstein ordered the release of 74 pictures and three videotapes from the Abu Ghraib prison, potentially opening the military up to more embarrassment from a scandal that stirred outrage around the world last year when photos of 2003 abuse became public. The photographs covered by Thursday's ruling were taken by a soldier. A military policeman who saw them turned them over to the Army. Some may be duplicates of photos already seen by the public. An appeal of Hellerstein's ruling is expected, which could delay release of the pictures for months. Gen. John Abizaid, commander of U.S. Central Command, said Thursday that releasing the photos would hinder his work against terrorism. "When we continue to pick at the wound and show the pictures over and over again it just creates the image — a false image — like this is the sort of stuff that is happening anew, and it's not," Abizaid said. The American Civil Liberties Union sought release of the photographs and videotapes as part of an October 2003 lawsuit demanding information on the treatment of detainees in U.S. custody and the transfer of prisoners to countries known to use torture. The ACLU contends that prisoner abuse is systemic. "It's a historic ruling, said ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero. "While no one wants to see what's on the photos or videos, they will play an essential role in holding our government leaders accountable for the torture that's happened on their watch." The government argued that America's enemies might exploit the pictures for propaganda purposes by saying the photos represent the attitudes of all Americans toward the Iraqi people. The judge acknowledged such a risk but said "the education and debate that such publicity will foster will strengthen our purpose, and, by enabling such deficiencies as may be perceived to be debated and corrected, show our strength as a vibrant and functioning democracy to be emulated." Bridget F. Kelly, a spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan, said her office was reviewing the ruling and considering its options. Gen. Richard B. Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, had argued in court papers that releasing the photographs would aid al-Qaida recruitment, weaken the Afghan and Iraqi governments and incite riots against American troops. But the judge said: "My task is not to defer to our worst fears, but to interpret and apply the law, in this case, the Freedom of Information Act, which advances values important to our society, transparency and accountability in government." The ACLU had sought the release of 87 photographs and four videotapes altogether. The judge viewed the pictures and videotapes and ordered some of them edited. Romero said those images apparently contained so many redactions that they would have been unintelligible. The judge said the pictures were important because they were the best evidence of what happened and because they "initiate debate, not only about the improper and unlawful conduct of American soldiers, `rogue' soldiers, as they have been characterized, but also about other important questions as well." Accountability, FUCK YEAH! You know. This is only happening cuz the left wing media is out to get GWB.
  5. Fuuuuuck THAT noise.
  6. You just can't fuck with the Fonz.
  7. Oddly enough, the person I felt the worst for was Hogan of all people. Hogan DID do alot for that guy and his lack of dedication to wrestling really did shit on the rub Hogan gave to him. Fuck Warrior.
  8. I'll still take a thousand HHH matches over ANY Warrior match. Period. And since its the hip thing: HHH > Warrior
  9. Been there done that. It isn't so great.
  10. Hey, they helped me find my car keys! Fish rule.
  11. Guy can't win <{POST_SNAPBACK}> More like "has run out of excuses for being a suckbag".
  12. Its been downgraded to a catagory 3 storm now. Which is good news, but it COULD amp up before hitting the land.
  13. Didn't they agree to this before? There is going to have to be some serious proving done to get this to be even close to believed. Hopefully, it happens.
  14. Well I GUESS they really did answer the question as "Brownie" got the boot. Now if you'll excuse me I have a flight to catch.
  15. http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2679475 THIS was awesome. McClellen can't even answer a fucking question anymore and is made to look like the prick he is. So DOES anybody have any confidence in FEMA or its director?
  16. Having only limited experience with ROH I get very amped over seeing ROH guys getting a shot in TNA. Samoa Joe is really the only reason I started buying TNA PPVs after the Raven/Jarrett fiasco. I wanted to see what all the hype was about. Now with a couple more ROH guys making a go of it tonight I'll be buying Unbreakable. I haven't seen anything of Homicide other than a few clips. Hopefully, it'll be awesome.
  17. I gotta get some mp3s of these songs.
  18. I think those 80s flicks were meant as a particular point of view being right-wing. Which is why you should enjoy them for the high comedies that they are.
  19. I don't know where Thumb Tack guy got the idea that I am looking down on people simply because I want to help them out. Or that I would want him to feel guilty that I AM doing something and HE is not. Don't want to help? Fuck it then. Don't. There are PLENTY who will regardless of their judgement on whether or not they could, would, or should have got out of the fucking city. It's something folks call "the right thing to do". Cuz you never know when it might happen to you. Look, I have a real motivation for going there. My girlfriend was down there visiting family and after the storm I lost contact with her for a couple days. It's been a rollar coaster ride so like it or not I am involved in some ways. Hearing her first hand reports after the fact, moved me to want to do something about it. I don't see what Thumb Tacks problem is. Should we leave anyone left down there to die? I say no. As far as the story of this storm, the rescue and eventual rebuilding of lives is what is left to do. So best to get to it.
  20. Waitaminute... did I just get a rash of shit for doing some GOOD? Next in the news: "Shaking hands when you meet someone is Liberal bias".
  21. Feel better about yourself for showing pity to the people without the good sense to get out before being clobbered? Give them money and tell all your friends how good a person you are. Tell your arguement opponents how terribly they are if they didn't. Good little Christian...good little liberal. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Better than doing nothing at all. REALITY check! No matter the circumstances there are people that need help. If you don't feel like you should then so be it. Check the avatar kid. No unicorn worshipping going on here. So if you think this was some kind of set up to make a MikeSC out of you then you really have no clue. For all the shit I call on those useless fucks who run this country, I have not once pointed a finger of accusation at my enemies in the Bush Admin in this thread. Not once. So go ahead and assume you know something and show you only know about as much as Barbara Bush does. Next week, I'll be heading down to help out in any way I can. So you just sit behind your keyboard and talk shit. It's all gonna be taken care of. Cuz afterall, I'm really only doing to sway the elections. Right?
  22. Why is C-Bacon so awful? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Eh? Something wrong Bob? Justice not here to reply for you? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That WAS some dumb shit she said Bob. This storm is already wedging a nice and even LARGER divide between the haves and havenots. That for someone to spout off at the mouth like that is retarded. Moreso from some rich ignorant housewife who doesn't know shit about shit. Great quote though. Anybody made any donations yet? I did. I made mine to this chairty who are actually on the ground and helping people as we speak. http://www.secondharvest.org/default2.asp C-Bacon - Like he would reply with anything but regurgitated cronyism? Maybe some namecalling?
  23. Pretty much it goes how everyone else on the net as said. Change your move to a Stunner or an RKO, and after some pounding, hit all three of them with the finisher. You might even do well to save up an extra special just in case. BY that time your stamina should be good and your meter should be red. So climb climb climb.
  24. Kuwait Pledges $500M for Hurricane Relief By Associated Press KUWAIT CITY -- The oil-rich Persian Gulf state of Kuwait said Sunday it will donate $500 million in aid to U.S. relief efforts after Hurricane Katrina. The offer is the largest known put forward since the hurricane ravaged Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama and follows a $100 million aid donation from the emir of a Mideast neighbor, Qatar. Kuwait's energy minister said his country would provide "oil products that the disaster-stricken states need in addition to other humanitarian aid." "It's our duty as Kuwaitis to stand by our friends to lighten the humanitarian misery and as a payback for the many situations during which Washington helped us through the significant relations between the two friendly countries," Sheik Ahmed Fahd Al Ahmed Al Sabah said in a statement carried by Kuwait's official news agency, KUNA. Kuwait is one of America's closest Mideast allies and owes its 1991 liberation from Iraqi occupation forces to a U.S.-led coalition that drove Saddam Hussein's army out. Kuwait and Qatar's donations came as the Egypt-based 22-member Arab League called on Arab nations to provide relief to the U.S. The Arab League said that its secretary-general, Amr Moussa, sent a cable of "deep condolences and regret to the U.S. administration over the effect of Hurricane Katrina ... and called on all Arab countries to extend aid to the United States to face the exceptional humane circumstances." http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/wo...ack=1&cset=true Hey some GOOD news! Not that it'll sway gas prices but hey, any little bit helps after Katrina. Even better that it comes from a country that OWES us.
  25. Oh cry me a river. "The Liberals" aren't the issue here. Apparently, you would like to make your hurt feelings the issue. Take it to to HD or the music folder... or better yet LSD and cry about it there. Why are you splitting hairs on whether this is a human OR a natural disaster? It is both and continues to be BOTH. Perhaps you must in order to keep you politcal point of view intact. To each their own.
