  1. Ok I tried to stay I tried to stay out of this but this is really too much! THAT war was about human suffering? Why not trust the electorate and tell them that from the beginning? Also I have a laundry list of countries where people are being slaughtered by Despots(concindentally where there is little or no oil)why are we not going over there and promoting "Humanity"? I just wish that at some point some of the Fundamentalists in this country masqurading as conservatives could admit some bottom line truths about the blunders made in this campaign both diplomatically and militarily. It was clear to me why the quotes were listed without comment and it should have been clear to some of the really smart people on this forum. I guess it is easier to alienatee, belittle and question the patriotism of any who would disagree with your narrow views. Doesnt anyone find it strange that $ilk, a lifelong conservo is denigrated for changing his views while us so called liberals are chided for never changing ours? I hope that the new right has not becomes so monolithic that they cannot tolerate any dissenting views among thier own bretheren. Just once I would love to see one of you guys take the risk to admit a wrong, just once.
  2. originally posted by Raziel quote: ..wait until July.. I cleary saw a returning in October tag at the end of the show. The other SCi-Fi friday shows will be back in July but BSG.. I hope I'm wrong.
  3. Dude you already got every cool gadget on the planet! Can i have your old discarded tech? (ie crumbs from your table) I'll give you a good price for em!? At that price point($600-1000) even us middle class folks may be able to afford one.
  4. Okay the season finale was the biggest suprise and one of the best cliffhangers ever! I am just in disbelief regarding the direction the show has taken! I cant believe we have to wait till October to see what happened. Great EP PS If this is a dream sequence I am with the SC on this show. DO NOT FRACK THIS UP!
  5. Excuse me if my transition and logic is a little off. I am all hopped up on cough medicine and suffering from a wicked cold.
  6. I couldnt agree more. Numerical ratings are just one more stone in the dumbing down of America wall. For example, I dont think any BC game ever can be given a fair rating numerically.While BC3000.ad was flawed and that was complicated by my rudimentary at best computer skills, no game I ever played before captured my attention and imagination. the first time I planned and executed a campaign on land in the air and from space was mind boggling. If I had to depend on a simple numerical scale I would never hav chosen to play it. Second example was Advent Rising Game Informer's rating was 7.7/10 which is pretty pedestrian. I even had sales staff at Game Stop try to talk me out of buying it, based on scores alone, though none of them had played it. I loved the game despite its obvious flaws. Games have evolved to such a level of complexity that is stupid to even try to assign them a numerical score. X-Play assigns scores one 0-5 scale, but obvious dreck like Aquaman gets 2/5 and Fable gets 3/5. Huh? Is there that little difference between those two titles? or is there a tendency not to assign scores based on other factors? Truly, there is only one fair way to critique games, that is a narrative examination of the games merits (or lack thereof)with as little personal and corporate subjectivity as posible. Good riddance!
  7. There is a chance that my wife will be accepting a big job in Maricopa(?) county in AZ and the whole family will be relocating from our ancestral home of Western PA. Anyone here from that area or who has been there care to share some information on that part of the country? You know weather, cost of living, entertainment, housing, cultural diverseness, especially school systems, and good (ie..somewhat affordable {$250K, diverse, safe) housing. Let me know if you have info.
  8. I agree thats enuff from you.
  9. That is what they seem do do best. Otherwise I am enjoying this little exchange!
  10. The right and the left should descend upon Washington pitch forks and torches in hand ala Frankenstien and run them all out of town and redo it ourselves. We couldnt possibly **** it up anymore than they have
  11. ditto, I was underwhelmed by Hoffmans performance. I really went in expecting a virtuouso performance and got a gimmicky, creepy Rich Little-like impersonation disguised as a film. However I like Cathrine Keener in anything so it wasnt a total waste. I saw Hustle and Flow and thought it was a okay film and good performance by Terance Howard but that it paled in comparison to his work in Crash. i guess my point is Capote was an above average film and Hoffman was given the Oscar that should have went to someone else.
  12. I was really hoping this wasnt going to suck
  13. Okay did I just get wrestling, sub and dom and bargepole all in one thread, please tell me that wasnt intentional. I know I'm supossed to be Mr Liberal but I am really just not interested at all to see this movie.
  14. Crash won. I'm glad, and by the way it is Hard out here for a Pimp! Really no songs really stood out this year, Dolly Parton and 36 Mafia? Come on man! If there are no worthy songs dont nominate any
  15. ditto the dvd too, why bother
  16. Are you still hating it SC?
  17. Lets wait and see. i seem to remember me posting about a certain Sci Fi remake (BSG) and dropping some spoilers regarding the script while it was in production. 95% of the responses to that post were extremely negative.Yet BSG is widely regarded by critics and good number of folks on our board, as a great show. Let wait and see!
  18. Prez you are a man of your word HERE WE GO STEELERS!
  19. Did you read the second page? Keep dreamng dude. Consoles are a mass market item and PC's are a niche item, end of story. Consoles are idiot proof and as we well know this country is full of idiots. (not so tech saavy)
  20. I know this means nothing to a good deal of our international brothers and sisters, but my beloved Steelers are in the Super Bowl! It has been 10 years since our last visit and after we lost that one I was depressed for weeks. that depression was nothing compared to the elation i felt after our drubbing of the Denver Broncos 40,000 turned out for pep rally at Heinz field and this town has a serious case of Black and gold fever! If there are any Seahawk fans who wish a freindly non monetary wager I am open to it through PM. Until Then...Here we go Steelers, here we go!
  21. Good job Cruis! Even though the wife had did the hard part. My family and I wish you every happiness!
  22. Me and the Wifey are going on Friday. She has been a convert since I dragged her to Manhattan Murder Mystery.
  23. three responses! Come on guys you can do beter than this!
  24. Hate is a strong word Derek! And you used frack in a sentence. I think you are more dissappointed than hateful, or at least that's what I think.
