Re:War on Terror - my a...
Reminds me of the scene from A Beautiful Mind were he is collecting all the magazines and newspapers to try and come up with the secret code the Russians were using to communicate war plans and other sensitive information. Oh but wait he was just crazy. Sounds like a schizophrenic is running the show, he just has a bigger hammer than his own brain.

Didn't I already see this movie?

No, no, it's being filmed by Uwe Boll
People, please, the great grandparent thread has already been purchased in a $5 acquiring by Uwe Bool.
Boll initially tried to make this into a full feature movie but it lacked something mildly important to Boll--a plot line.
He hired round the clock game designers to code up a game called Bust-A-Move VI: The Black Hole. The game consists of the dinosaurs from Bust-A-Move trying to stop a falling black hole by firing balls at it. The first level contains a kill screen scenario which caused critics to pan it.
However, Boll was quoted as saying, "It look good."
In the movie, two dinosaurs have to race against the clock as they try to figure out ways to stop a falling black hole from reaching the earth's core. In many scenes, you can hear in the background Uwe grunting hard as he runs the laws of physics down his leg.
Boll revealed a few key plot points prior to the movie's release and summed them all up into one sentence, "... [the public] wants to see two naked dinosaurs doing it and I won't let them down."
The part of the black hole will be played by Alicia Silverstone's cranium. -

Recent findings from the GNAAU prove that Dr. MartRecent findings from the GNAAU prove that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was gay
Monday January 16, 2006Jmax (GNAP) - Miami, Florida, USA - Recent findings from the GNAAU (Gay Nigger Association of America University) prove that the famed Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was, indeed, a homosexual. Dr. rhoppenrath, the head of Gay Nigger studies at the GNAAU, reports that "I am not shocked at all.
"These findings were how I, and my colleagues, had originally hypothesized. We have determined that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., of civil rights fame, was not only a gay nigger, but a gay nigger of great magnitude. His homosexuality and niggerdom exceeded that of any average gay nigger.
"Many findings have proved our theory. Our research began in 1998, during the trial to determine his cause of death." The professor went on to explain how he, and his colleagues, were requested to perform an autopsy on King in order to determine a cause of death.
"Our first clue was that his anus was irregularly torn and bruised. From there, we hypothesized that he took nigger dong inside him on a regular basis. We then took a DNA sample, which showed an enormously large similarity to that of lesser primates, known commonly as apes. The DNA sample also showed that he was stricken with GRIDS, the leading killer of Gay Niggers everywhere. At this point, my colleague, head of the Law Department at GNAAU, dj28, investigated further."
In a classified report by dj28, released publicly today, The Gay Nigger Investigative Unit reported that not only had they determined that King had a harem of Gay Niggers, but that they had met and spoke with several of them. Only to learn that the rest had died of GRIDS, and that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, was a great Gay Nigger; Possibly the greatest of all gay Niggers.

GNAA Announces Full support of german governmentGNAA Announces Full Cybermilitary Support of the German Government
Mikhail Borovsky (GNAP) - Moscow, Russia - GNAA President timecop and Vice-President jesuitx held a press conference live via satellite from GNAA US HQ in Tarzana, CA where they announced full cybermilitary support of the German government following the German injunction against Wikipedia. From the German Wikipedia site at www.wikipedia.de,"Liebe Freunde Freien Wissens, durch eine vor dem Amtsgericht Berlin-Charlottenburg am 17. Januar 2006 erwirkte einstweilige Verfugung wurde dem Verein Wikimedia Deutschland - Gesellschaft zur Forderung Freien Wissens e.V. untersagt, von dieser Domain auf die deutschsprachige Ausgabe der freien Enzyklopadie Wikipedia (wikipedia.org) weiterzuleiten."
This roughly translates as, "Dear friends and comrades, Wikipedia has been shut down as of January 17th, 2006 due to a court injunction by the government of Germany, due to extensive support by Wikipedia for the Jews and the state of Israel".
This type of support was made illegal in Germany in 1939 by the Berlin Pact, signed by Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin. Angela Merkel, chancellor of Germany has announced that this injunction will not be lifted until Wikipedia stops supporting "Die Juden".
"We also feel this injunction came in due time, as Wikipedia is being overrun by articles pertaining to non-notable blogs with completely useless information (or "blogs"), which are also illegal in the Great Republic of Germany. We are pleased to receive the support of the Gay Niggers, as they have already declared war on the blogs, and know how to defeat this communist ideal before it can become a threat to freedom," said Mrs. Merkel.
About Germany
"Bundesrepublik Deutschland" was founded before the middle ages by the Visigoths. The government was non-notable per above until the late 1930's, when Germany underwent an extremely positive and successful cultural revolution. Today, Germany is a beacon for free economy and a land without Jews.

GNAA unveils "New for Jew Thousand and Six" lineupGNAA unveils "New for Jew Thousand and Six" product lineup
Sunday January 1, 2006Ich Bindalross (GNAP) - Stuttgart, Germany Renowned homosexual and GNAA Director of Reasearch and Development Staos today announced the unveiling of GNAA's 2006 product line. Sitting in a lavishly decorated men's rest stop bathroom, he made the first of the day's groundbreaking communiqu regarding the "New for Jew Thousand and Six" products.
While gloryholing his fourteen inch nigger cock, Staos proudly annouced the newest product to pass the GNAA's rigorous R&D testing: FourRape. Said he: "FourRape is a fully extensible, java-based crapflooding solution, based on an innovative plugin architecure. In theory and with the right plugin, you could effectively Sodomize Without Consent (SWC) anything from Futaba image boards to the deep bowels of the vast left wing goblin kike conspiracy."
Upon ejactulation of a quart of semen upon the reporter's face, he finally said "Also on the list of hot new items for 2006 is LM Go". Continued Staos: "LM Go is a hand held device that when placed on a LAN, can effectively force all properly configured computers on that LAN to netboot LMOS, the Last Measure Operating System, resulting in faster Gay Porno content delivery to the masses. We expect to see field testing of LM Go as early as Febuary, with insertion into NTT/DoCoMo headquarters." Observed a random passerby: "It truly is a marvel what they're doing with technology these days. Just last week I had to go all the way down to my local crusing joint to get some hot nigger on nigger action. With LM Go, I can get gay porno throughout my entire subnet."

Re:This isn't just about the Bush cabal!None of this makes sense compared to the simple truth that some people are nasty and have their own agenda; there is no overarching conspiracy across the generations.
Your point is reasonable, sane, mainstream and utterly feasible. However, your second point is absolutely wrong. You are making a common mistake among normal, respectable citizens. You believe that politicians are "nasty" and have a tendency to misbehave. A more realistic POV is that politicians are often "evil" and have a tendency to destroy all who oppose them.
I think Wilkerson's points are well taken. There are certain things that are constant in government, like taxes, war, power, secrets, money and lies. It doesn't really matter which party is in power. Sure, Republicans are a more obvious form of evil, but Democrats are much more subtle and insidious in power. Neither party is good for America. Both parties are corrupt.
Is it really so hard to believe that a group of wealthy businessmen, bankers and military types would conspire to "own" both parties so that no matter which way the public votes, they'll still be in power? That's not conspiracy-theory madness, that's just good business. Just look at the campaign contributions from the last few election cycles. Most major businesses & their leaders would give heavily to both parties. Why would you, as a businessman, want to piss off one of the parties? Doesn't it make sense to own both? Hell, politicians are cheap - you can rent-to-own for extremely low prices, like a couple hundred grand, but you can get back millions, if not billions of dollars in favorable legislation (tax breaks, pork, no-bid contracts, etc.). Let's not dance around the issues like we live in fantasyland: Corporate America owns the U.S. Government. They own both parties, less a few hardcore partisans and maybe a couple idealists.
You speak of crackpots, but I think you're the one dealing in crackpottery if you want me to believe that things are exactly as the (corporate) news media presents them. The truth is much more complex, and much uglier. Our politicians swear allegiance not to our liberties or the Constitution, but to the Almighty Dollar. Do they work together to keep their status/office? Of course: You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.
You can call that a conspiracy. I call it business as usual.
Some good documentaries to check out if you want to look into how oil and the military industrial complex fits into all of this:
Why We Fight
The Power of Nightmares: The Rise of the Politics of FearThis is what is truly damaging - those who should be helping the fight instead damage it by acting like crackpots. How do you expect to effect any change if unable to convince others?
Why should the truth be convenient or rational? Why does the truth have to fit inside mainstream political discourse? Why should we have to let the politicians frame the debate and define the terms? You're the one who's ruining the discourse by throwing around words like "crackpot" while doing nothing to refute the grandparent's original points. If you want to have a discussion, then by all means, let's. However, you should concentrate more on facts and reality than attacking others' viewpoints just because they don't fit into your narrow reality.

Re:Wicked Idea
In reading everything, there are lot of issues. (mostly people arguing mechanics)
Just out of curiosity, how often or how fast have those who are making commentary actually done so [legally], aside from practicing in parking lots?
There are a lot (echo) lot, lot, lot of issues in achieving & maintaining any degree of speed with any desired degree of safety, even when you know of or control many circumstances. It was bad enough spending many hours killing (pun intended) idle time in high school and college as an EMT and only worrying about yourself (as opposed to remaining within a worthwhile distance from targeted prey). Some of this can be reduced on the ambulance side if you look at the issues of knowledge of the situation, both getting to the victim as well as transporting them to the necessary location. Is there a need for running signs & siren when someone has reported a broken ankle? And is it then necessary to run lights & siren (and likely, speed) when you're pretty certain your patient is going to survive the trip without driving more than the speed limits? I know some were|are taught, "once you've got your patient stablized, the need for lights+siren+speed is an indicator of your ability to control the situation? as in "I'm in over my head -- not a personal failing -- and need to get the patient to a location capable of handling them in the fastest means possible". aside: You'd be surprised the effect the siren can have upon some patients - some adults hear it and think, "I'm going to die" and you can watch their vital signs diminish as a result of that fear. ("Don't be bothered by this - we're going to turn on the siren to reduce someone jumping out in front of us") For kids, it's "Hey! Want to hear the siren?"
Don't get caught on top of an ambulance during a parade. That's when they speed up so you can't jump off, close the windows, lock the doors, then comes the siren. The bystanders love it. It's not fun.
I DO NOT envy this aspect of the worklife of law enforcement on this issue[1]. I know they become accustomed to it to a certain degree and have considerably training (I knew the driver on my team was going to miss that car by six inches, but the other driver and those of us on board, didn't), but I can only imagine the complexity of vehicle pursuit to be exponentially beyond that of the things I experienced. There are obviously situations where they do get in over their heads without realizing attention to it - hopefully, those are still the exception. With all of the factors involved, I'm glad there's an "auditor" to make the decision for all-out pursuit, but how that position makes the singular decision without {nearly} complete knowledge of everything there goes right over my head. Of course, we probably don't ever hear about the times chases are halted because of a change of circumtances. I think most people presume the chases are like First Blood (now known as Rambo I). "See the criminal...pursue the criminal."
I suppose the police could depend upon the tv helicopters covering the chase, permitting them to ease back?
[1] Gunfire is included on the "Not wanted" list for Christmas. At the sound of gunfire, this chicken went into hiding. I'd only come out once I knew things were under control. I've always been a good shot but do not wish to become involved in being on the other end. I had a partner walk into a house for a severe domestic dispute call and didn't remember the cops hadn't arrived first...one, two, maybe three, steps into the door, turn to look at the wrong end of a gun barrel. I'm not certain which bodily orifice began an outflow first (on my part).

Re:Although this seems "reasonable" in light of th
I'm talking about sites having to conform to google's whims in order to appear anywhere near the top of a google search. I'm talking about legitimate sites, not even sites selling anything. Sites that simply choose to design their sites in one way or another can have their google rank turned to crap.
The 'whims' of Google's that you're complaining about are just common sense. Google says, make your page clear and informative. If your page is clear and informative, guess what? Google ranks it higher. If your page is clear and informative and has something interesting to say, other people will find it interesting and link to it. If other people link to it, guess what? Google ranks it higher. Google says, don't change your URLs too often. That's common sense, too. If you ceaselessly redesign your site, leaving old URLs dangling as 404 errors, you're hurting people who link to you, and you're hurting people who've bookmarked you. That's common sense, too. All my bookmarks to my bank's site no longer work, because every time they do a redesign they change their URLs, and leave the old ones dangling. Sooner or later, that's going to annoy me enough to make me change banks.
If you do a Google search for 'Simon Brooke', you'll find me at the top although my home page is just that, a personal home page, and has no 'optimisation'. Simon Brooke the Insurance Broker, with an expensive, professionally designed site, comes second. Then there's Simon Brooke the professional actor on IMDB, then a guy who's into aeroplanes, then Simon Brooke the author.
So with all those people with something to sell in the list, how come I and the aeroplane geek make the first page? My site is simple and has been there a long time (more than ten years now, and on the same URL for eight). In that time a lot of people have linked to it, and it doesn't suffer link rot. The plane geek's page gets ranked well because he has good pictures which presumably get linked to.
And that's the lesson for all you soi disant web designers out there. Users aren't impressed with your fancy, flash 'splash pages', and guess what? Google isn't either. Users aren't impressed with text as graphics, and guess what? Google isn't either. Users aren't impressed with vacuous marketing puff, and guess what? Google isn't either.
If you've got something interesting and different to say, and you say it clearly, and you say it consistently in the same place, Google will find you. Tricks and cheats aren't needed.

Prince, eh? That Sounds Fun.Reminds me of an anecdote from An Evening with Kevin Smith where he talks about dealing with one of Prince's handlers while he (Kevin Smith) was making a documentary for Prince:
She's like, "Prince doesn't comprehend things the way you and I do."
I was like, "What do you mean?"
She was like, "Well ... Prince has been living in Prince World for quite some time now." She's like, "So Prince will come to us periodically and say things like: 'It's 3 in the morning in Minnesota. I really need a camel. Go get it.'
And then we try to explain to Prince, like: 'Prince, it's 3:00 in the morning in Minnesota, it's January ... and you want a camel. That is not physically or psychologically possible.'
And Prince says, 'Why?"'
I'm like, "Is he an asshole?"
She's like, "He's not malicious when he does it. He just doesn't understand why he can't get what he wants. He doesn't understand why someone can't process a request ... like a camel at 3 in the morning in Minnesota."
I was like, "That's not my problem. I can't do what he wants. I don't know what to do."
She said, "You'd be doing me a huge favor if you tell him that."
I was like, "All right, I'll tell him."

Six billion?Someone already commented how wrong your figure is. And I believe that's exactly why no one has to fear a terrorist attack on the Super Bowl. Merkins seem to have a fixation with this, I remember a film I saw nearly thirty years ago. Let's face it, very few people outside the USA know or care about the Super Bowl.
Terrorists have their target audiences. The Al Qaeda wants to impress people in the muslim countries, who think of "football" as the sport that's played by kicking a round ball with the feet. If 90% of the TV news anchors around the world have to explain what this "super bowl" thing is, and its true importance in the collective American mind, the intended message of the attack would be wasted. It's not as if there was an attack in the World Cup, whose audience does reach in the billions mark. -
Relationship between film cost and quality
Actually, I saw an interview in which Phillip Noyce said that it's much harder to make a good film when there is more money involved. His main claim was that the huge amount of financial risk involved makes investors averse to anything artistically adventurous. Maybe also that the logistic complexity of shooting expensive scenes can distract from the stuff that makes a film great (although I'm not sure if I'm recalling that second point correctly).
The fact that cinema tickets are all essentially the same price also skews financial incentives towards "lowest common denomniator" markets. A carefully designed taxation-funded system that based remmuneration on how much people like a film after they saw it, could improve the situation for material that has a smaller but more appreciative audience. -
And on the moviefront...
I would higly recommend "Hackers" from 1995. The movie takes place in 1988, and starts out with an 11 year old boy taking down Wall-Street! It even has a hothothothot Angelina jolie starring as _the_ hacker-chick... 8) http://imdb.com/title/tt0113243/?fr=c2l0ZT1kZnx0d

Alone in the Dark is one experience I never wish to relive and it's 2 hours of my life I want a refund on! It wasn't even in the category of "so bad it's good". Yuck!

Re:I'm starting to think the RIAA picks at random.
Indeed, and once we see a lawsuit against Navin R. Johnson, well know for sure.
He hates these songs!!!
Great reference by the way.. that made my day. For those of you that didn't get the joke. -

Re:fluoride is toxic waste
If city governments didn't buy this stuff from chemical plants to put in drinking water, they'd have to dispose of it like any other toxic waste.
It's not the city governments or plants that are doing this to us. It's the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids. Duh. -
It's a commie plot!General Jack D. Ripper: Mandrake, do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk... ice cream. Ice cream, Mandrake, children's ice cream.
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Lord, Jack.
General Jack D. Ripper: You know when fluoridation first began?
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: I... no, no. I don't, Jack.
General Jack D. Ripper: Nineteen hundred and forty-six. Nineteen forty-six, Mandrake. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works.
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Uh, Jack, Jack, listen, tell me, tell me, Jack. When did you first... become... well, develop this theory?
General Jack D. Ripper: Well, I, uh... I... I... first became aware of it, Mandrake, during the physical act of love.
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Hmm.
General Jack D. Ripper: Yes, a uh, a profound sense of fatigue... a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I... I was able to interpret these feelings correctly. Loss of essence.
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Hmm.
General Jack D. Ripper: I can assure you it has not recurred, Mandrake. Women uh... women sense my power and they seek the life essence. I, uh... I do not avoid women, Mandrake.
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: No.
General Jack D. Ripper: But I... I do deny them my essence.
Credit to IMDB for the actual quotes. My memory of them was somewhat less than accurate.

Is it safe?
It sounds like you are electroplating your teeth. I figured it would be some kind of electroshock therapy:
"Brush your teeth, Timmy or I'll have to send for The White Angel to come and ask you 'Is it safe?' " -
Re:Maybe they should get involved...
Yeah, it was really tough back in the 40's. I don't know how my grandparents survived using stone tools. But there are greater concerns than that. Have you ever seen the movie WarGames? Apparently we have to worry about computer hackers launching nuclear missiles too.

FIRST POST!GNAA Announces Project to Port Slashcode to ASP.NET
GNAA Announces Project to Port Slashcode to ASP.NETFremont, California - In a surprise announcement, GNAA has announced a truce and alliance with the popular news for trolls website Slashdot.
GNAA member godspeed broke the news at an early-evening press conference, announcing that GNAA would cease trolling the website, and will instead work with the current Slashdot staff on porting the Slashcode to ASP.NET, to be run under IIS.
"We've had our difference with Slashdot in the past," godspeed began, "but with recent slowdowns in performance on the website, they have finally realized that Opensource is indeed dead, and it's time to move on and replace their antiquated codebase with something that will meet the modern day's needs. We're pleased to be given the opportunity to work with the Slashdot staff on making this port. Of course, the new code will not be opensourced, an NDA will be signed in blood by all who see it and if you release it, the penalty... well, you've seen what happened to Nick Berg, Paul Johnson, and the others. Major changes to be implemented include the removal of goatse link evasion, major overhauls to the karma system, and the replacement of pinkpages with LastMeasure,"
At this point godspeed turned the podium over to fellow GNAA member goat-see and stormed out of the room. goat-see offered to take any questions the audiencemembers have. When asked why there were no Slashdot representatives at the conference, he was quick to reply "You can speak to CowboyNeal outside after we're through here, we couldn't get that motherfucker in here without widening the doorframes. Next question?," eliciting a hearty chuckle from the audience. When asked the reason for the sudden change in relations with Slashdot, goat-see paused to think for a moment, before answering "Our historical differences were meant to hilight the flaws in the Slashdot system. As soon as the staff realized what an impacted shitpile their site was and the need to update it, we were the first to volunteer to assist in the migration. We look forward to seeing the hight performace of ASP.NET pages with a MS SQL backend as much as any other nigger out there."
bare, a GNAA member sitting in the audience, stood up and confirmed this announcement with a hearty "LOL." goat-see concluded the conference at that point, saying "If you have any further questions, please direct them to new GNAA member Wil Wheaton, now let's all go outside and poke that fat fuck CowboyNeal with sticks."

I was raised as a poor sharecroppers son
Boy, this sounds an awful lot like a plot line from Steve Martin's The Jerk. His character invents these cool grippy glasses and makes a million or two. Later he's sued because everyone gets crosseyed for wearing the glasses.
