  1. No, it's a subversive, insidious tyrany imposed upon people because they are considered incapable of making an informed choice. It is thought and behaviour manipulation.
  2. It's a cartoon. Can nothing in this world me immune to politicalization and polarization?
  3. 92% 16 miles 281 seconds
  4. These people need to get a life. But it does piss me off that a cartoon is being used to force kids to accept a lifestyle practiced by less than a percent of the population as the norm.
  5. But many people did fall into the trap of equating anti-war with pro-Saddam; there were those that made (and still make) excuses that Saddam was far preferable to the situation in Iraq today.
  6. That would be gold.
  7. All it being private money means is that somebody's been bought. Ticket funds bought through the inauguration committee I could understand, though. But there's no way they made $40 million on that.
  8. He said he hoped someone would take a sniper rifle to the Inauguration and pick off Bush and Cheney. Spin it all you want, that's a threat.
  9. Why should he be unbanned? FS commited a crime, pure and simple. He should be lucky he's not being investigated, which is exactly what would have happened had he written his post to the opinion page of the local paper.
  10. I could have sworn that plotting or wishing for the death of the President was illegal.
  11. A truer and sadder analysis was never given.
  12. No, he said he's not trying to flamebait because he knows the knee-jerk reaction of almost every smark to criticism of Jericho, RVD or Benoit is, "Troll!" He makes very good points, the most important being Jericho acts like a goof and doesn't back up what he says. Jericho adlibs much of the material given to him, and creative can only be given so much of the blame; eventually the buck has to stop at the wrestler playing the character.

    REBIRTH

    Ok, I just finished Rebirth #3 and I have to say WTF? Apparently, Jordan isn't really responsible for any of his actions, it was the impurity Parallax that made him do it. Daemon ex Machina, as was previously said.

  15. The guillotine hadn't made it over to the Americas. Fitting that an invention designed to offer quick executions previously reserved only to the nobility (the commoners either hanged or otherwise tortured) too everyone was in fact used on everyone.
  16. Agreed. Vince decides on storylines, but in the end it's up to the wrestlers to make the most of their pushes; and everyone at one time or another has gotten a decent push.

    Board Games

    Risk. Monopoly. Scrabble. Boggle. Crib. Magic the Gathering. AD&D. Scene it. Trivial Pursuit.
  18. Sadly it's true. I'll miss him.
  19. 1. Chyna (I'll hop on the wagon) 2. Jake Roberts. (He's been lucky so far) 3. Lex Luger. (If there is a god....) 4. John Tenta. (Cancer) 5. Bobby Heenan. (Cancer)
  20. But if the team is in your city/community then you probably could get away with saying "we", since arguably it is your city that has won, since the team is supposed to represent the community.
  21. Political correctness had nothing to do with it. What he did would be tantamout to someone walking into Manhatten with an Osama bin Laden outfit.
  22. I say '"they" but I don't think it's a big deal if someone says "we". It just means I get to say "They beat your ass!"
  23. The people get to vote on it, meaning it'll be a celebrity. Ugh.... I expect it'll be George Washington that wins it; no one hates him and he's revered by practically all Americans (as far as I know) so I think he's the safe bet.
