Just to expand on what was said: The Movie was written during season 1, which is why you don't see many season 2 TFs in it.
A lot of people hate season 3 as a major step down in writing, but the fans that defend it think that it is the darker, more psychological Transformers--the episodes just couldn't return to the happy-go-lucky days after the violent deaths witnessed in the movie, and the major struggles include Rodimus' feeling inadaquate with big shoes to fill and Galvatron's slow decent into insanity.

I wish someone would wake up the sleeping Giants...NEWS FLASH~!!!
The Giants aren't sleeping, they just suck.
Oh and Highly Overrated too.
When they turn it on, they kick ass. They statistically dominated their last two opponents, but their problem is coughing up the ball.
When they have a fire lit under their ass, they're great to watch. But for the past couple of weeks, it's been sad.

On F-Zero GX I'm still stuck trying to beat the 3rd cup on Novice, and I'm stuck in the High Stakes in Mute City stage in the story mode. That game is tough.

True, I'm blowing this out of proportion for what it is...my anger towards the larger issue becomes unbottled from time to time.

Meh.I personally doubt that said statements are anything more than the opinions of one or more idiots that happen to be higher-up in the bureaucracy.
Don't condemn "CATHOLICS" because of the stupidity of one or two morons.
That's not what I was saying.
I am a Catholic. But the political, earthly face of the Catholic Church is an archaic institution; a dusty old animal who won't get with the 21st Century.
When you look throughout history, people involved in the organization of the Church most likely have done more to set back the human race than any other group.
I criticize because I'm trying to fight against the further and futher decay of my faith. I want the Church to embrace views and tolerance that can make me whole heartedly reaffirm my faith. But now all my praying is done outside of Church.

I hate the American media. They have the chance to use this story to expose just how bad the politiking of the Church has blinded/set back the world. And I haven't seen anything about it here.

The reason the wrong caliber bullet was written down on the examiner's sheet is that, obviously, the doctor who removed it is not a weapon's expert.
This story boils my blood.

I'm interested in knowing how the Static-X and Sevendust albums are. Both of their last efforts were average enough that I'm not about to blindly fork money over this time around.

Tim Mahoney from 311 is an extremely talented soloist, although he takes most of his influence from Santana.

The more I think about the fact that we put the Jews on a strip of land that used to belong to Palestine, the more I don't think it's right, and can understand why the Palestinians fight just to get back what they owned.

I'm glad my Giants are at number 10, higher than they probably should be (and a jump up from number 13 last week, even though they didn't play this week).

2003 Power Rankings: Week 5
Rank Team Rec. Comment
1 Chiefs 4-0-0 We're guessing the Broncos are going to try to keep the ball away from Dante Hall this weekend.
2 Colts 4-0-0 Wow. The Saints sure were bad, but Manning and the Colts looked pretty scary on offense.
3 Buccaneers 2-1-0 Monday night's game against Tony Dungy and the Colts should be fun to watch.
4 Broncos 4-0-0 Jake Plummer has been solid, but Clinton Portis clearly makes this team go on offense.
5 Vikings 4-0-0 Last week we said Gus Frerotte wouldn't get it done. Well, we're cleaning the egg off our faces right now.
6 Titans 3-1-0 They don't win pretty a lot of the time, but Jeff Fisher and the Titans seem to find a way to get it done.
7 Seahawks 3-0-0 It's just another game, but we're betting it would give Mike Holmgren a little extra pleasure to beat the Packers.
8 Panthers 3-0-0 Has there been any bigger offseason acquisition than Stephen Davis?
9 Dolphins 2-1-0 With a rested Ricky Williams it shouldn't be too hard to figure out Miami's game plan against the Giants this
weekend.
10 Giants 2-1-0 Giants are giving up the most yards per game (404.7) of any team in the NFL -- that has to change.
11 Redskins 3-1-0 Patrick Ramsey is going to be a good NFL QB for a long time.
12 Steelers 2-2-0 Steelers need to find a way to get Plaxico Burress the ball in the red zone.
13 Rams 2-2-0 Apparently it takes Marshall Faulk getting hurt for the Rams to go to the running game.
14 Bills 2-2-0 Two weeks ago they looked like a Super Bowl team, now they just look average.
15 Patriots 2-2-0 Brady won't use his sore elbow as an excuse, but something is clearly not right.
16 Eagles 1-2-0 A win next week at home against the Redskins and things will be happy again in Philly.
17 Packers 2-2-0 Hard to tell how good the Packers are after beating a pretty bad Bears team.
18 Ravens 2-2-0 This team can't be a playoff contender with a QB that has a 46.8 passer rating.
19 Raiders 2-2-0 Offense finally showed up Sunday, but where was the defense?
20 Cowboys 2-1-0 Bill Parcells might get more wins at the Meadowlands this season than the Jets.
21 49ers 1-3-0 We love Terrell Owens' ability and his competitiveness, but he went a little too far the other day.
22 Texans 2-2-0 Gutsy call by Dom Capers. Shows his young team that he believes they can get it done.
23 Falcons 1-3-0 With their season slipping away, the Falcons need to resist the temptation to bring Mike Vick back before he's ready.
24 Bengals 1-3-0 People might not know him because he plays in Cincinnati, but Chad Johnson is one of the best WRs in the NFL.
25 Browns 1-3-0 Tim Couch was solid, but the only thing the fans care about is wins and losses.
26 Saints 1-3-0 It might be time to bring back the bags in New Orleans.
27 Lions 1-3-0 Wonder if Mariucci is glad he left Terrell Owens and the headaches behind in San Francisco?
28 Cardinals 1-3-0 We're guessing the Cowboys will be geared up to stop Emmitt Smith after some of the comments he made.
29 Chargers 0-4-0 Don't tell Marty Schottenheimer about moral victories -- those don't count in the standings.
30 Jaguars 0-4-0 The future is Leftwich, but Jack Del Rio would probably like to win a game one of these weeks, too.
31 Jets 0-4-0 Jets have given up 696 yards rushing and gained only 209 yards on the ground. That's just terrible
32 Bears 0-4-0 At least they can say they're the only team in the NFL that plays in a spaceship.

From BBC News:
Father jailed for 'honour killing'
A Kurdish Muslim who cut his daughter's throat after learning she was having a relationship with a Christian has been jailed for life.
The Old Bailey heard Abdalla Yones, 48, murdered 16-year-old Heshu at their home, in Acton, west London, on 12 October 2002 because he feared she was becoming westernised.
He pleaded for the court to pass the death sentence on him for his "appalling" crime after he tried to take his own life.
Heshu, who was described as popular and fun-loving, planned to run away from home after starting a relationship with an 18-year-old Lebanese teacher.
In a letter to her parents, apparently showing she planned to run away, Heshu wrote: "Bye Dad, sorry I was so much trouble.
Violence in the name of culture will not be tolerated
Detective Inspector Brent Hyatt

"Me and you will probably never understand each other, but I'm sorry I wasn't what you wanted, but there's some things you can't change.
"Hey, for an older man you have a good strong punch and kick.
"I hope you enjoyed testing your strength on me, it was fun being on the receiving end. Well done."
Yones was a political refugee who fled Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq 10 years ago.
The court heard that after repeatedly stabbing his daughter and slitting her throat, he cut his own throat and jumped from a third floor balcony.
Scotland Yard described it as a "brutal honour killing" - a reference to the practice of women being killed by male relatives to redeem the family name.
Detective Inspector Brent Hyatt said: "There was nothing, nothing at all 'honourable' about her murder.
"After hacking his daughter to death, Mr Yones has attempted every defence, from psychiatric, and diminished responsibility to extreme provocation, in order to save his own skin."
He added that Yones first claimed al-Qaeda members had broken into the flat, murdered Heshu and then attacked him. He only admitted murdering her last Monday.
Yones's counsel, Icah Peart QC, said his client wanted to be sentenced to death.
Judge Neil Denison said Yones had tried to commit suicide twice but told him he would pass the only sentence he could for murder - life imprisonment.
This is, on any view, a tragic story arising out of irreconcilable cultural differences between traditional Kurdish values and the values of western society
Judge Neil Denison
He added: "This is, on any view, a tragic story arising out of irreconcilable cultural differences between traditional Kurdish values and the values of western society."
But Scotland Yard warned the sentence should be a warning to those who condone or stay silent about the mistreatment of women in their communities.
Commander Andy Baker added: "Violence in the name of culture will not be tolerated. Murder in the name of honour will be punished by the severest penalties available in law."
Scotland Yard believe there were 12 'honour killings' in the UK last year and said they were not restricted to Muslims, but also occurred in Sikh and Christian families.
A specialist police unit is researching the practice but police say only a handful of people believed 'honour killings' were an appropriate cultural response.
Mr Baker said people who had tried to shield Abdalla Yones from police could now be investigated on suspicion of perverting the course of justice.
"We are completely satisfied that some members of the community, or his friends, tried to assist him in that cover-up," he said.
"It's not about one person committing the murder, it's about the few that acknowledge it and support it and are involved in it."

*howling with laughter at political cable thieves*Why is it that amusing?
Because it had pictures, and I was imagining all of those people fiddling with black boxes, wires, and duct tape.
Ooooooh, you're talking about the picture post above. I thought you were laughing at people's pro-theft arguments. I'm sorry.

*howling with laughter at political cable thieves*Why is it that amusing? A lot of the same people use the same arguments in music and movie piracy, and those generally aren't scoffed at.

I have no sympathy for any corporation that's so powerful they have enormous regional monopolies.
Steal away. It's not hurting a soul.

It's funny that Napoleon was French, since the Napoleon syndrome that typifies little guys with big egos is pretty applicable to the entire nation: a country that's ultimately inconsiquential to the scope of human history from the 20th Century forward, has an inferiority complex about it, and then goes and picks fights with the biggest guys (U.S.A.) because of it.
