    Greatest American

    Lee was interesting. He wasn't a fan of slavery, however he was very firm in his believe that bringing people from Africa to the USA wasn't a bad thing when it first happened. He wanted equal and better treatment and really had no stance on slavery. He didn't like it but he also didn't feel the government had the right to tell people not to do it if their state said it was ok. However by fighting for the south, he was labeled a racist and many of the things he did after to further civil rights went unnoticed.

    Greatest American

    Robert E. Lee General in many wars before the Civil War, was one of the early voices urging for his southern soldiers and those in the South to be humble and try to bring the country back together, ended up penniless before becoming President of Washington college. Lost his American citizenship because of his role in the war, didn't became an American Citizen again until 1970 when it was restored by Gerald Ford. Despite many thinking Lee was the leader of a racist rebellion, he wasn't any of the such and could be considered one of the early pioneers of civil rights for his role in a Virigina church. Ok...rip me apart.

    Widescreen vs. Fullscreen

    My gf doesn't like widescreen. She just likes the whole screen filled up, very much like my parents. She doesn't know why, but she is not a fan of widescreen. So I had to buy SHREK 2 in fullscreen and deal with the guy at the counter go, "umm...are you aware this is fullscreen?" To which point I had to lower my head in shame and meakly say, "yes, yes I am." The things I do for love I swear.

    It's a tie: Jackie Gleason and Burt Reynolds. Or that Washington guy.

    20/20 Special on the Laramie murder

    Bout what I expected it to be. Sorry, but I had no hope for this special when the lady running it was like, "oh they were falsely convicted of a hate crime" and "oh, it was just a mugging and people lied". Sorry, but come on. Even if it's not a hate crime, it's a very brutal and sadistic killing. Leaving someone tied to a fence after beating them is just sick, I don't care if the victim was gay or straight. If it took a hate crime to give them the time they deserved then I'm fine with it.

    This Week in College Football 11/23 - 11/27

    Also, the color red is not the color blue. Texas runs away in the second half for the win, but they're still probably headed to the Cotton Bowl. Well what I'm saying is that some(read Arizona fans)probably thought that b/c of the success Bob Stoops immediately had at OU and the continuing success that Mike might just be as much of a coaching genius as his brother. And I think that's been proven false now. Because why? I'm not seeing how it's been proving false.

    This Week in College Football 11/23 - 11/27

    After what I just saw in this Texas-Texas A&M game, I am now convinced that the Kansas coach's complaints may hold water. So Texas kicks the ball into their own offensive line, which KILLS THE DAMN BALL, but TAM is penalized for grabbing a dead ball? Ok, sure thing BCS.

    Election 2008

    I think you'd be legally allowed to kill all those who bumped it past 2004.

    Why you want to make sure your Tuna is....

    Good sandwich, you can really taste the dolphin. Flipper goes good with a glass of milk.

    Banting. Without him, you would have had lots of people die from something that is controllable.

    So What Senate Moron Is Responsible For This?

    I hate the Motion Picture Association almost as much as I hate those RIAA freaks. Preventing fast forwarding? That's just stupid.

    2 weeks of Impact spoilers

    They have went another direction "Can Williams find a way to defeat Sabin without the Destroyer?" Basically make Williams out to be more than a one move can beat you wrestler, which I would actually like to see. Him defeating Sabin without the Destroyer would be interesting. Or he finds a way to reverse the Cradle Shock at Turning Point back into the Destroyer for the win.

    ESPNews: Ricky Williams to be Reinstated!

    Yeah, but doesn't this stand in the way of his dream of becoming a doctor of holistic medicine?

    *throws down gauntlet*

    Like Jeff Goldblum, I apparently can't read.
  16. I'd say education was important, but there is no reason people shouldn't know about HIV/AIDS in this country anymore. I think one of the major issues is HIV/AIDS is now falling into that "people who drive drunk cause they don't think they will ever crash" catergory of American thought. People know they might get it but they don't think they will so they don't care. I don't think we can do anything else on a national level. You are going to have some people who just don't care. They aren't going to care about catching it until they actually do. We can educate for the rest of time and you will still have people who think, "pfft, I'll never get it." As for the rest of the world...I have no idea. I really don't. We can't give them free drugs to handle the problem, we can't educate them on the drug since we'd have to start from the ground of education just to teach some (keyword) what the hell we are even talking about. Short of finding a cure, which will never happen since apparently the strain keeps evolving on us, I don't think we can do anything about it.

    Dan Rather stepping down

    I want him to be replaced by a super intellgient cyborg named Krinkles2000 that talks like Richard Simmons but will kill all that tell it that it sounds like Richard Simmons. And it refuses to call a state till the damn state calls the state. Plus it will only lie on Thursdays, the day when no one cares.

    The Washington Nationals logo.

    The Washington Blues? Give me a logo of a smiling Union soldier driving a bayonet into the heart of a Confederate and I'm sold.

    Methods of Vengence Needed

    Just out of curiousity...did you want to hurt, maim or scare? Cause I think we've got hurt and maim covered now.

    Methods of Vengence Needed

    Um, do you know of anyone who knows how to hack? Not at the moment. But they are easy to find I'd imagine. Keep in mind if you do this, I clearly state now I was only joking and do not condone such actions. They are meant as parody and nothing more. ...but I'd do it.
  21. Why? Big rock from the sky is going to kill them all anyway. Wonder how many boys in that classroom just realized they now have an opening to have as much sex with the naive girls as possible? "Come on Jenny, you don't want to be a virgin when we all die do you?"

    Methods of Vengence Needed

    Hack into his accounts. Go into a chat room about fighting for civil rights or something along those lines. Say negative racist things to everyone in the chat and dare them to come get you (him, you get the idea). Give address and name, add more racist comments, laugh at them and say something like MLK deserved to get shot. Enjoy anarchy. Course, that is a very long process. I'm not good with short term pain. But this is all I could think of on the fly and would never condone such actions to be committed. Never at all. Nope.

    Woman steals inflatable Santa, Snowman and Turkey

    I've been tempted to pop them but never steal them. Popping them would be more fun. Especially the Snowman, it'll look like it's melting.

    I was wondering if I was the only one who noticed that. Make it three. Thread makes the Wall Street Journal read like the funny pages.
