Having watched it I do think it's unfair to really have a go at the Warrior... He says that Homosexuality is below Hetrosexuality because "it doesn't work" and although I somewhat disagree with him, the point is somehow valid as the point of sexuality is to have kids, essentially, and obviously that doesn't happen with homosexuality and therefore he's right saying it "doesn't work" and thus hetrosexuality is 'better', for lack of a better term. He doesn't actually say homosexuality is a bad thing though... And as for the 'racist' comment, all that is is him saying how America is the best country in the world and that American's are the greatest people in the world... which doesn't strike me as being esspecially racist as such. Anyway, regardless of him being right or wrong, to quote Randy Marsh, "hey, I thought this was America!? Oh, I'm sorry I thought this was America!"

Wooo, Isle of Wight Festival. Moz and Roxy Music = even more debt for me

As soon as the whole race thingwas even hinted at it shouldn't even have become an issue with who was going over. I think the reasoning for Trips going over was so he could "stay strong" for Goldberg rather than having him lose then have to re-win the title.

Trips had to beat Booker - how else could be prove the superiority of the white race and prove that "those people" can't be world champions? God bless you Hunter.

We're down...

I thought last week's was awesome, best of the season so far. So hopefully this one can keeping bringing the hilarity.

I remember it somewhat. The belief amongst the soldiers was state's rights, the problem was the Confederate Congress wasn't about the state's rights at all. They just wanted to keep their slaves for money and easy labor. I think that's pretty much right. There's this quote from a Southern soldier. The majority of Souther soldiers believed they were continuing the great revolutionary tradition of the founding fathers by taking arms against the oppressive North the same way they took arms against the oppressive Brits, fighting for self-government. H.L. Mencken wrote in his Notes on Democracy 1926 that he belive that; Which I think sums it up reasonably well for a single sentence.

My problem with this would be that the Emancipation Proclamation didn't actually free anyone, which seems odd if Lincoln really was so into the whole abolishionist movement, morally anyway. That old chestnut again? Lincoln knew he couldn't abolish slavery without a constitutional amendment. While working to make the amendment reality, he issued the Proclamation in his role as Commander-in-Chief. When the Northern army rolled through the South, the slaves followed them. It had the effect of freeing slaves everywhere as a result. The Proclamation itself may not have freed the slaves, but its impact on the war ended up freeing them anyway. In 1861 a proposed amendment to the Constitution would have explicitly stated that the federal government had no authority - ever - to interfere with slavery in states where it existed. Lincoln supported this saying. Which suggests to me he had no real interest in seeing the slaves freed. As a politician, it's sometimes necessary to support something you find personally distasteful for the greater good. Lincoln was trying to hold the country together at the time and stave off civil war. Lincoln has a long history of anti-abolishionist statements and non where he openly speaks of getting rid of slavery. Back in 1858 in the fourth debate with Douglas he says Now, if he was secretly an abolishionist which you seem to be suggesting, then why not just say something relativly non-commital rather than the above?

Which Lincoln shouldn't have had a problem with, Abe Lincoln, 1848 Except when you run the government they're trying to skake off, eh Abe?

His only real and consistant slavery viewpoint was that they should all be sent back to Africa where they belonged.

AJ vs Eddie

Is there a free bit of software I can get to convert the Tenzan vs Kojima match I have to a file type that will let me have it on a Video CD?

Can some else make the WCW hummer joke, I'm not sure if it's really in good enough taste for me. Anyway, shit. Hope he's OK.

Surely it can't be that simple though, or the cops or FBI or who ever could just find it all on google and put a stop to it.

Yeah, that Miavia guy could've been big if they'd given him any kind of push a few years ago

Is it time for the Sven abuse to start over Emile "if you actually check he's got a better goal a game record than Alan Smith" Heskey being back in the squad?
