  1. Ann seems to want us to think that no Republican president ever used troops against other Americans, and no Democrat ever wanted to use military force against a foreign power. Maybe I'm reading too much into her statement, but that seems to be what she trying to convince us of.
  2. The difference between a used car saleman and a soldier is that the used car salesman didn't agree to give up many of his rights as a citizen in order to take the job. People forget that being a part of the military isn't just a job, its a full committment of your life. THEY OWN YOU. Recruiters don't do a very good job of explaining this to the people who join, but the recruit training NCOs sure the fuck try to make a point of it.
  3. I find it humorous when someone who joined the military of their own free will suddenly realizes they might actually have to do their sworn duty and take part in a war.
  4. I keep hearing all these horror stories about how leftist professors abuse their power, but I can't imagine anything like that happening at any of the schools I've gone to. And, like I said before, the history department at the college I got my BS from was heavily populated with conservatives. Seriously, Mike, where'd you go to college anyways? 1970s Moscow?
  5. I have to say I admire the way Joe sticks to his guns, even if I don't agree with him a lot of the time. Did Joe ever try to make excuses for supporting the Iraq War the way Kerry did? Hell, no.
  6. Maxwell Lord is my Eric Bischoff.
  7. Imagine there's no heaven...because I blew it up.
  8. Another strategy would be for the students to organize and complain to the department chair or to the school's administration. That might work better, and a complaint coming from multiple people carries more weight and credibility. Traditionally, I think this is the way most students try to handle these things. I wish I'd known not to take so many morning classes. Hot chicks very rarely attend morning classes. I went to class with so many frumpy girls that I was starting to think our school uniform was sweats and a ponytail. I swear to God, this is the most educated wrestling mesage board in the history of the internet. We got math professors, law students, high school teachers, economists... We're the Smart Marks, and we got the degrees to prove it.
  9. Sometimes professors have to express a viewpoint in order to get it out there so it can be looked at critically. I think the problem is that a lot of professors express opinions without realizing how many people are unable to recognize that that's all it is. I've had tons of professors express opinions (liberal, moderate, and conservative), but not a single one of them made agreeing with that opinion a requirement for doing well in the class. Good luck finding one. One what? A liberal student or a conservative professor? I've met plenty of both in my time. I had tons. And for lots of kids, transferring would mean losing out on tons of money already spent on other classes because of one pyscho prof. And transferring out of the class isn't possible since sometimes the nutty one is the only class available and that class is needed to stay on course to graduate on time. Punishing students because of a professor is equally pathetic. It depends on how far along in your program you are. A lot of schools are pricks about transfer credits, but usually if you stay in the same state you'll be okay. I'll admit, schools are way too tidewaddish when it comes to keeping money for dropped classes, though. But dropping a class is cheaper than getting a lawyer.

  11. Maybe. Possibly. But DC has seemed to have planned their "event" miniseries with this in mind, so who knows? What's next? DC gonna release a cross-over mini-series called "JLA: The Watchtower Watchmen"? This idiotic milking of the "Crisis on Infinite Earth" title is ridicules, especially when the new series has nothing to do with that series.
  12. Their criticism was not liberal in nature, but of the "he's immoral/spends too much/too weak on national security" variety.
  13. Let the media frenzy begin!! "John Lennon must be banned from our radios and our record stores, as his music encourages teenage violence and aggression." Instant Karma's gonna get you...with an AK-47.
  14. They're the ones who prefer not to be categorized. They think that they're too enlightened to fall into either the conservative or liberal camp...but they just end up being ultra-liberal. Oh, bullshit. I had multiple history professors who made it their mission in life to bitch about the Clintons and Ted Kennedy.
  15. I think he started that promo after he beat Austin at No Way Out 2001, except at least at that time it lead to a fairly entertaining match with the Undertaker at Wrestlemania. His telling of said promo was interupted by the quad tear.
  16. Booker's past his prime, but he can still fire up a crowd and work a competent match.
  17. You know, there ARE college professors out there who aren't liberals.
  18. I'm sure at some point they'd cut away from Jesus for either (a) "expert analysis" or (b) viagra ads. "The Return of the Savior of all Mankind is brought to you by..."
  19. Hey, here's a wacky idea....if you don't like the professors at your school, transfer somewhere else.
  20. Someone needs to remove the feeding tube from this thread! **rimshot**
  21. I'm going to laugh my ass off the first time a liberal student sues a conservative professor.
  22. You're not the only one.

  24. Anakin goes on a killing spree in the movie, taking out the Viceroy, Dooku, and many, many Jedi.
