    "we don't build cars in America, we don't grow food in America, "

    lots of people in flyover country would disagree with you. The us does produce cars (show mean a non american made taxi or cop car). It is also one of the largest agricultural produces in the world (if not the largest)

    whats funnier is that you believed a movie. There is nothing sadder than people who get their knowledge form a 2hr movie. Other people involved with the Carlyle Group are Jimmy Carter and many members of the Clintion admin,

    his focus on promoting HDTV and digital communcations, deregualtion of the internet,etc. I suppose there is no point in giving him any credit in any of that since he is a republican. Since this is a tech site, check the Cnet article. I think that is more news for nerds.

    I like the logic that a movie that is high grossing has profit.
    if a movie was made for 2 billion and grossed 2.5 billion it would be the highest grossing movie, but it certainly doesn't there was a profit.

  11. Re:Good riddance. on 'Star Trek: Enterprise' Cancelled? · · Score: 1

    actually thats the one and only transporter episode and it was more about the creation of transporters. If you notice on enterprise they HATE the transporter for humans and always use shuttles.

  12. season 4 is great on 'Star Trek: Enterprise' Cancelled? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    If you havent watched season 4 yet, go and watch a few episodes. It is great especally after manny coto took over. It is mostly 3 part arcs which have tons of good story and character development. Topics covered include the future vulcans, foundation of the federation, romulan war, kingon ridges. I think had it been like this since the beginning, it would be a very beloved series. It would be bad to cut it just when it strted getting good.

  13. GW bush factor on Who Needs Harvard? · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    we have a running joke about how long it takes for a story, any story to be hijacked and turned into an anti-bush platform. Here are some examples:
    1. Florida hurricanes : in 1 week moveon.org blamed Bush for causing them
    2. Asian Tsunamis: in 1 day the UN was talking about the "stingy" american government

    Now i can add this one: 3 posts.

  14. Re:It will be interesting on End Of Support for Windows NT 4.0 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    are you saying that linux does nto have regualr forced updates? did you forget the whole libpng3 vs 2, glibc vs libc , xvid vs divx fiascos? I wont even get into the change in binary formats. Every having used linux since the mid 90's i've seen my share of painful forced upgrades. Forced in the sense that people just stopped writing apps for the old system. I think that is the way it should be. Without the forced upgrade to XP, something like ME would be the standard.

  23. Re:Ouch on Infogrames Could Help Ubisoft vs. EA · · Score: 1

    hmm, it seems your history books forgot to mention the arsenal of democracy and the fleets that helped support the british a long time before pearl harbor or the is attacks on us ships in china during the rape of nanking (wait, did your history books mention that?) . No, the US didn't intervene in WWII because of the anti-war movement ( sound familiar) at the time. The anti war groups were so powerful that the NY times barely covered the rape of nanking and accounts of the holocaust were buried in the back pages.
    Keep in mind that these were same morons that destroyed a lot of their weapons unilaterally after WWI. The only thing that that could change their minds was Pearl Harbor. If you don't know about this, then your history books were incomplete. If you don't like what is in this post, tough luck, you can't change history.

  25. Re:homosexuality on What Do You Believe Even If You Can't Prove It? · · Score: 1

    "Certainly not, as it is no more detrimental to the person "

    you have to admit, that is you opinion and maybe the opinion of the cuture around you. Not everyone thinks so, mostly becasue of the damage it does to some societies. Asian cultures where family is prominent and lineage and ancestor worship is prominent, the introduction of homosexulity would be devestaing because parents count on male children to continue the family name. Ilamic and African culture is also incompatible with homosexuality. That alone accounts for over half the world's population.

    that argument aside, what i said by "should be able to screen" is that parent should have the ability to screen much like the will be abe to screen other traits in children

    I appreciate the accusation that i was trying to trap you though, it certainly elevates the level of converstaion. Considering that you can't even have a serious discussion of this without trying to insult me, I am going to end my contribution to this thread here.
