Battlestar Galactica Hosted At the UN

TheDopp writes "The United Nations hosted the cast and crew of Battlestar Galactica Tuesday evening in New York. Clips of the show were shown as discussion points during the event, touching on the morality of Suicide Bombers in war, Abortion and the use of torture on enemies of the state. At one point during the event an attendee mentions 'the "Old Man" launched into a passionate speech about casting off the idea of race as a cultural determinant, and said we were one race, the human race. His voice echoed throughout the chamber growing louder until — I kid you not — he was yelling, "So Say We All," and the crowd answered right back. Hell, even I yelled it, I was in the fraking United Nations with Adama, the gods themselves could not have stopped this moment.' The full video of the event is located on the UN website."

Sci-Fi Channel Better Have Footed the Whole Bill

The very possibility of any tax-payer dollars paying for this made me throw up a little bit in my mouth. If the U.N. junketeers want to get their Sci-Fi on they'd better pay out of their own pockets for their own convention badges like everyone else.

Hooray! A bunch of international bureaucrats to have their own sci-fi wank-fest. Yeah, use the U.N. building as a venue for advertising a private company's DVD sales. That's probably the least irresponsible thing the U.N.'s done in a decade ... I wonder if they'd ever consider seriously confronting grave moral and geo-political issues. Perhaps they could invite philosophers, statesmen, and theologians before they brought out the entertainers.

Ah yes piling on the whitey guilt...

Frakkin irony, a frakkin about-to-be-a-washed-up-has-been actor preaching frakkin racial equality but then pins the racial evils on the white folks... The whitey guild card has been over played, and yet people keep tugging at that scab under the guise of denouncing it. Human beings treated each other differently based on their appearance ages ago, before the concepts of racism have been defined. These days its just an outdated buzzword being milked by politicians and demagogues to distract the people from the real problems facing the humanity.

To the dipshit who modded this as flamebait: Flamebait is shorter and less thought through, like this post. The one above it is a statement. Learn the difference you ignorant duchebag. See now thats makes this post more of a troll than a flamebait. Just because someone has the balls to introduce an idea that doesnt fit into your shackled mindset, that doesnt make it a flamebait, hell if you can get through all of its polysyllabic goodness it can be downright enlightening.
