Why can nobody spell definitely? Off-topic yes, but it's something that has bugged me for all my years on this forum. There's nothing defiant in the Garvin Stomp fitting the character. Sorry to single you out on this, but it's something which pisses me off so much in these forums. Why can nobody spell?

I don't understand Exile On Main Street's massive love. In my opinion it marks the end of their run as a great band. Sticky Fingers was very mixed, and would probably get the same reaction from me were it not for Wild Horses. But with Exile I see one of the best bands of the 60s beginning their decline into what would be a terrible decade for them in the 70s (barring half a dozen songs). I love 60s Stones, but Exile On Main Street gets a huge amount of praise as their peaking moment whereas I see it as evidence of the fact that they were about to become a parody of their former selves.

I rolled it once. Rolled it twice. Thought "Is that the answer? Because that's a bit too bloody obvious". Rolled it a third time. Gave the answer. Was correct. How stupid.

I'm bored and haven't got anything to do. So I'll be one of the drafted masses. Pick me, I'm nonrefundable.

My mistake, by Second World War I meant European War, not the Pacific War, which obviously the US were instrumental in. Popick, your point about Russia originally allied with Germany? Yes, but I don't see how that relates to anything seeing as how the US were neutral for a lot of the war. And it was when the Soviet Union's alliance with Germany folded and Germany attacked Russia that spelt the beginning of the end for Germany. That was the turning point. As for everyone else, I think people are misunderstanding what I'm trying to say because I keep seeing people arguing against me expressing opinions I agree with. Yes, WWII had its advantages, many, but to call it a good war despite millions of deaths is an offensive statement, in my opinion. The United States were important in ending the war. When I said "Maybe not the European War" I should have phrased it "An argument could be made for them not entering Europe". I feel they were important there, yes, but I'm not sure if they were necessary or if the war would have ended in the Allies favour anyway, as Stalin was willing to kill half his population, so it appeared. And, finally, the War on Terror is nothing like this. At all.

The Soviet Union did more to defeat Germany than the United States did. That's not to discredit USA's involvement in the European War, as they were influential in Germany's defeat (hence me saying "maybe not", as in there can be an argument against it), but not to the point of Russia and the Battle of Stalingrad. I would say the United States only served to hasten the Second World War, as Germany were near defeat by the time America joined the war against them.

Okay, my argument is that it wasn't a good war in that millions died and that negates any financial benefits. A good war is when there are mass benefits and limited deaths (though obviously not to those who died). In saying that millions died, I was including the Jews. And I disagree with YPOV that the USA shouldn't have gone in. Maybe not into Europe, but the war of the Pacific was one that they definitely needed to enter and probably should have well before they did.

Should the Lord Of The Rings movies all be counted as one? Or the two Matrix seuqels (though God forbid if they end up in a movie tournament). Yes, I think Kill Bill should have been one three to four hour film, but I think as two films it was inoffensive and managed to work.

He posted an ant, not a spider. And why do you say Hello when you finish speaking with someone, don't you say that when you greet them? Or have I been doing it wrong for all these years?

I'm feeling incredibly insecure at the moment so, in a desperate grab for self-importance, I will be the decider. IDRM.

July: Edge/Benoit August: Angle/Guerrero and HBK/Benoit with Michaels winning. September: Mysterio/Guerrero October: Christian/HBK and for their second PPV Benoit/HBK with Michaels turning heel. November: Big Show/Guerrero and face Flair/HBK, just to give Flair his last big PPV title shot. December: Big Show/Guerrero. January: Booker T/Guerrero and Benoit/Jericho/HBK. February: Jericho/HBK. Wrestlemania: Triple H/Guerrero and face Orton/HBK with HHH and Orton going over. How's that for long term booking?

I was a stillborn child and had to be resuscitated. I also came out backwards and broke my mother's coccyx. Two weeks later my sister dropped me on my head and I had a hairline fracture in my skull. Aside from that I've been fine however. Strangely not brain damaged too.

Millions of people died and it is linked to what would probably still be considered the greatest crime against humanity. I think that negates any major influx in the middle class, production increase etc.

He was a two term president of the united states of america and one of the most popular at that... are you expecting his death to be mentioned in passing? "President Bush is visiting France today commemorating the 60th anniversary of D-Day... oh and former President Ronald Reagan is dead at 93... in other news, gas prices..." This to this post and MikeSC's post too. No, I don't want it just mentioned in passing, and I appreciate his importance in world history. However, I find the fact that it was the only news story incredibly irritating. It can be the headline story, but to be the only story is a bit over the top. If Thatcher died I doubt it would be the only news story here, nor in the US. Similarly, if Gough Whitlam (probably Australia's most important Prime Minister in history, from 1972-5) were to die, I'd expect it to be the headline news, but not the only news story. Same with Nelson Mandela if he died. Yes, they're incredibly important people in the history of the world, but the rest of the news shouldn't be just not told because of it.

Okay, let me first say that it's sad whenever anyone dies. Though I disliked several aspects about him, I am saddened by the loss. However, what is irritating for me is that this is the only news story right now. And I live in Australia, not the US. I see no reason for the death of a man who was in power of a foreign country 15 years ago. Surely there is something else happening in the world somewhere.

This thread is strange and offputting. I am mildly disconcerted.

Lou Reed - Walk On The Wild Side Without a doubt the best mellow song of them all.

Rear Window On The Waterfront Dr. Strangelove - And it's Adaptation Duck Soup Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid Scarface - But neither do much for me at all Das Boot - Why must I choose?

My God, barring 24 everything that I voted for was eliminated. The Simpsons Cheers - I love MWC, but there is no way it deserved to beat The Wonder Years. Saved By The Bell 24 I just was watching an episode of Cheers, tell me how a quote like this can be topped by MWC: Sam: Remember last year's St. Patrick's Day when Gary filled our stairwell with potatoes? Woody: And I was at the bottom tying up my shoes. Thank God you all managed to dig me out in time, I'd hate to be the second person in my family buried alive by potatoes.

In the random drawing which I bet $5 for in an opportunity to win $80, I drew Bulgaria. Joy.
