  1. Well, at least they are having some fun in defeat. But that chick with the kissy lips needs my wang.
  2. This is the most reasonable thing I've read on this board.
  3. If this really does work I'm all for it ,however, with tight restrictions to avoid any "excesses". No need to have weird ass clones walking around being creepy.
  4. I haven't seen any proof of either. I haven't seen any circumstancial evidence that the exit polls were wrong. I have seen quite a bit of circumstantial evidence that their were problems with the vote. I have the final voting results that state that the polls were wrong. You have something besides that? It's up to YOU to prove that there was fraud, not anybody else to prove there wasn't any. I've heard of precious few problems with the machines. What I hear now is the left, as they did in 2000, trying to smear Bush as somebody who steals elections. It's also been shown to be utter bullshit for two years. -=Mike Yeah, I heard the same thing from Fox over and over again that the voting machines were tip top perfect in every way. They said it over and over again. Which makes sense. Leaps of faith aren't just for religion anymore.
  5. This thread is awesome.
  6. http://www.lordoftherings.net/ Click the link on the left for a QT vid of some footage of the Extended Edition. More Battle of Pelinnor Fields. Mouth of Sauron (creepy guy!). Saruman shooting fire from his staff. The Witch King and his fire sword before he takes on Gandalf. What did the five fingers say to the chest? CHOP! I'm RIC FLAIR BITCH!!! Ok, I'm excited.
  7. Mike breaks down: You are an idiot. That is idiotic. Anyone who believes that should be hit by a car. UNMITIGATED BULLSHIT! All coming from a guy who talked more about John Kerry's war record than John Kerry did. There is your logic.
  8. Oh don't you worry. Between Clear Channel and Wal-Mart you'll be forced to be happy listening to Garth Brooks. Oh yes, YOU WILL!
  9. Love them. Pleased to Meet Me. Great record. The band so many bands wish they were. I have an awesome bootleg of their last show. So much good came from this band. Chris Mars really ruined a good thing. "Bastards of Young" y'all.
  10. Except that Clinton's scandal involved perjury, conspiracy to obstruct justice --- not to mention stealing FBI files, etc. As usual, Clinton is unable to admit his faults. -=Mike Keeping in mind that Bush and Reagan weren't exactly fessing up to any of their mistakes, lies etc. Perhaps it just comes with the office.
  11. My step-father worked for years as a counselor to veterens in area where I grew up. So many years of after school sitting in the waiting room of the offices listening to these guys tell me stories about what they went through. I can still feel the sting to this day of how betrayed most of them felt. Coming home to people who were pissed at that them. The baby-killer taunts, Agent Orange, lost limbs, lack of support in the following years,etc. You know the deal. My uncle, my father, my grandfathers all of them have similar experiences. This was the primary reason I was against going into Iraq (note that I did NOT include NOT going into Afganistan). The recent history of the Untied Staes has not been very kind to our heros. They work cheap, they pay in blood, and we have a real hard time paying the piper after the dice have been rolled. Its sickening. I confess that many of my other reasons are strictly partisian. This reason is not one of them. I do not blame the marine for what he did. He most likely made a very bad mistake. Send him home.
  12. An interesting read. Still, even though many of the points made can be true, there are still assholes on both sides that don't seem to know how to curb their excesses. I think there ARE religious types who would love to impose a theocracy! Abortion IS morally repugnant, and could be abolished if the circumstances for its need were eliminated. So when you give an inch and they take a mile, no wonder no one is betting on the side of compromise. Its a nice ideal to have everyone recognize what the guy wrote about as truth but I'm not going to count on it. Humans are all too human, and they are greedy. I'd love to be shown I was wrong, but yanno about that experience thing....
  13. Indeed. Well said.
  14. Well since it the BBC it'll be considered bullshit around these parts. Might as well have a episode about it on Sponge Bob Squarepants. Maybe now the government will pay the fuck up.
  15. http://www.sundayherald.com/45957 Right-wing moralists launch censor war America’s freedom of speech is under attack. Mickey Mouse and Private Ryan had better watch out, says Ros Davidson in Los Angeles WHAT do Tom Hanks, sex researcher Alfred Kinsey, U2’s Bono, Janet Jackson’s boobs and Mickey Mouse have in common? They’re all targets in an attack on American popular culture, which is accelerating following George Bush’s re-election. E-mail complaints from angry right-wing viewers are flooding federal regulators this weekend following the unedited broadcast on Remembrance Day of the film Saving Private Ryan. In fact, one third of the local TV stations affiliated with national network ABC, owned by Disney, refused to air the critically acclaimed second world war blockbuster because it contains swear words. The Oscar-winning film about D-Day, directed by Steven Spielberg, also includes graphic, realistic violence. The 66 stations, from Boston to Detroit and Honolulu, said they feared sanctions from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for airing “profanity” during prime evening hours. That was despite the fact that ABC had promised to cover any fine by the commission, whose members are appointed by its president. “ABC crossed the line by airing at least 20 ‘f’ words and 12 ‘s’ words during prime-time viewing hours!,” says the evangelical group American Family Association, which claims it has 2.3 million members and is one of the groups leading the revamped charge against “immorality”. “We believe ABC should have aired their salute to heroes without violating broadcast decency laws,” it said. Each TV station could face a fine of £18,000 if found to have aired “indecent” material. Under long-standing guide lines, profanity is banned from 6am to 10pm on America’s publicly owned broadcast channels, but not on cable channels. “It would clearly have been our preference to run the movie,” says Ray Cole, president of Citadel Communications, which owns three of the stations. “We think it is a patriotic, artistic tribute to our fighting forces.” Senator John McCain, a one-time POW in Vietnam, introduced Saving Private Ryan on Thursday. A maverick Republican and a former presidential candidate, he spent much of Thursday trying to stem the desertions. The film is nowhere near indecent, he says angrily. Initially, only 20 stations were expected to opt out. The 1998 movie has been shown twice before on ABC, to some complaints from viewers but without TV stations baling. Previously, regulators have permitted some programmes with swearing to be aired when the language is justified artistically by the context. According to an agreement between Spielberg and the television network ABC, the film could not be edited for artistic reasons. Thursday’s widespread reaction worries cultural observers because of America’s constitutionally guaranteed freedom of speech and because ownership of TV and radio outlets has become dramatically consolidated in recent years. “It’s self-censorship,” says BJ Bullert, a communications scholar at the University of Washington. “There’s a climate of intimidation, especially in response to the election. It’s a new kind of cold war, and it comes from the top, from George Bush and Karl Rove.” The national mood is different now, and not just because of the election results. “Moral values” were cited by 22% of Americans as the top issue in the November 2 vote, according to pollsters. In September, regulators fined CBS £299,000 for the live broadcast in January in which singer Janet Jackson’s breast was bared briefly during half-time at the Super Bowl . Jackson’s “wardrobe malfunction” prompted accusations of immorality from conservative activists, some viewers, members of Congress and commentators. Rove, Bush’s top political adviser, says: “I think people are concerned about the coarseness of our culture, about what they see on TV and in movies.” Former Richard Nixon speechwriter William Safire, a columnist with The New York Times, describes it as the “social political event of the past year”. Conservative Christian groups, including the American Family Association, are also rallying against the new film Kinsey, released this weekend to critical acclaim, and starring Liam Neeson and Laura Linney. The ideas in the film, directed by Oscar-winner Bill Condon who also made Gods And Monsters, promote pre-marital sex, which leads to abortion and Aids, claims the group Catholic Exchange. Kinsey is a gripping and “brutally honest, uncompromising and non-judgemental” look at the controversial university researcher who revolutionised cultural attitudes towards sex in the 1940s and 1950s, said a CNN reviewer. Robert Knight, of the curiously named Concerned Women for America, told Associated Press recently that Kinsey was akin to the notorious Nazi pseudo- scientist Dr Josef Mengele. Knight backtracked on the comparison on Friday, but his reaction indicates the seriousness of America’s culture wars. The American Family Association also calls for a general boycott of Disney, because the company has encouraged gays to visit its theme parks, and of food giant Procter & Gamble for hiring gays. Two months after the Janet Jackson incident, which also involved singer Justin Timberlake, NBC ran up against the FCC. Rock star Bono, from the band U2, said “f***” during the live broadcast of the Golden Globe Awards. Recalled less often, say critics of the culture wars, is the record fine of £652,000 for Rupert Murdoch’s Fox network for the heterosexual reality programme, Married By America. At issue were prime-time scenes in which “party-goers lick whipped cream from strippers’ bodies” and two female strippers spanked a man on all fours wearing only his underwear, said the commission complaint. The silence over Fox’s fine, from those who tout “moral values”, is hypocritical, says a column by Frank Rich in today’s New York Times. Fox News has become controversial for its right-wing commentary and popularity in “red” or pro-Bush America. Another indication of the red culture scare is the action of one of the US’s newly elected politicians, Tom Coburn, a senator from Oklahoma, says Rich. As a state-elected politician, he attacked NBC in 1997 for encouraging “irresponsible sexual behaviour” and for taking “network TV to an all-time low with full-frontal nudity, violence and profanity”. His anger was prompted by the prime-time airing of another Spielberg film, Schindler’s List, about the Holocaust. 14 November 2004
  16. I wonder how long before Peterson gets the Ted Bundy treatment in jail and start getting marriage proposals from desparate douche bags..
  17. Austin Powers Dad hates the DUTCH!
  18. I read her book. Nothing special really. She spills a lilttle bit of dirt, as she REALLY didn't like Miss Kitty, but other wise its just a straight coming of age type story. Oh, and I get the impression she really liked her dog.
  19. Well, that's one strike against vets... Couldn't we just blame my mom?
  20. My family has long been strong in the military. My grandfather was in the 101st during Korea, while the other GF was in the Navy during WWII. Pretty much every male in the FAM including myself have done our duty and served. I do not consider myself a hero compared to people like the Grans. because I never served in combat. They made the ultimate sacrifice in situations that I will never comprehend. Without them I would not be the person I am today. In tandem with all the mighty and willing who served with them I am humbled. They would not expect me to bow like they derserve. So instead I shall salute. Kudos gents. Rest easy.
  21. He isn't the only one too. I heard reported on the radio this morning that the shrinks are making a killing because some folks just can't deal with a Bush victory. Maybe they should just perscribe xanax and link them to the Canaidain Immigration website... eh? Oh the love it or leave it crowd pops a boner over that idea!
  22. If I remember right, I remember some speculation about Greivious being Sifo-Dias. Which works cuz having it be somebody TOO obvious like Dooku or Sidious makes it less interesting. Plus you get to meet another Jedi who didn't exactly fit in with the Order and gives the general a bit of backstory so he isn't a throwaway charactor like Darth Maul.
  23. 65 bucks an hour? They can keep the bennys and hire me. I saw it in high school and don't really remember much other than the woman who skins the rabbits. I remember being somewhat disuturbed by what I had seen. What did you dad tell you about the urban renewal?
  24. I'm a fan. Love the show. They need to release the DVD sets faster. I saw everything from season 3 but missed all of season 4! The suck!
