well, didn't he get his emotion RPM a few years ago?
And there are some people that liked(and even needed) Jar Jar, you know. A lot of the younger kids probably need more than internal politics and mysticism. Remember, it's supposed to be for ALL ages, and I know many people feel it should be aimed for them because the originals were, but we are 20 years older now, and Lucas wants to give something to the next generation too. I think most of the critics had feelings along those lines; they felt as if Lucas had abandoned them in favor of their kids.
is everything BG does a sinister plan to discredit Linux or in this case 'brainwash' defenseless MIT graduates into working for Microsoft? You know, I heard that (spread the word) tomorrow (April 15) BG is going to give a WHOLE bunch of money to (just like we thought) the GOVERNMENT! I guess he's at it again!
For gosh sakes, he donating money to a SCHOOL! Are you expecting a college graduate to be swayed by a name on a building? And to those saying $20M is a drop in the bucket to BG...sheesh; I guess you people will never be happy with ANYTHING the guy does...why not $40M, why not $1B? Why not letting the guy decide where his money goes and how much of it goes there? If I donated twenty-freaking-million dollars somewhere and heard complaints, I can guarantee they won't be getting any more!
Let Microsoft divert attention away from it's legal problems all they want. While legally tenuous, if I came out with a fast food resturant featuring characters dubbed "The Burgerthief" and "Mayor McCheddar" how many people would have a problem with me getting a cease and desist from McDonalds? And what kind of hysterical fit would the majority of you throw if microsoft started the website "www.DotSlash.org:Stuff for nerds. News that matters."?????
Maybe college would be good for teaching people perspective.
Apparently by design, but this war attempts to use information as a weapon the same as smart bombs. Instead of ground troops, Bill and co. has decided to win his private little war using threats, sound bytes and by DECLARING ON TV WHERE THE NEXT NATO AIR STRIKE WILL BE. Is not the purpose of war to destroy things, taking them by surprise? And the media does it's part, by taking taking taking all the information they can and wanting still more. I can't wait to turn on the TV and hear about the "top secret rescue mission for the three captured soldiers. According to NATO forces, an elite team of American soldiers will enter Belgrade from the east and secure the hostages. The rendezous point will be an abandoned air strip to the north, and they must be there by 2300 hours Sunday or they will be left behind and the President will deny all knowledge of the rescue attempt."
Using the internet for information is not the problem; it's the information itself. I know that most people in this audience have a healthy mistrust for the government (I do as well, especially for this draft dodging hypocrite's administration) but let the military have the freedom to run this massive operation without every move being broadcast throughout the world.
Food will make you fat, alcohol will make you drunk, but you do it to yourself, the drug doesn't do it to you.
i sure hope that you sweep the floors and empty the garbage at Motorola, but I think that I see here a classic case of denial. You can stop whenever you want to, right? It helps clear your mind, right? That is the only explanation for such a non-sensical comment. Using drugs DOES make you a loser, whether you use them for acceptance, low self-esteem, the inability to deal with reality, psychological problems or the inability to determine or care about right and wrong. It is wrong for a reason, and not because of the mafia. You benefit (if it's appropriate to use that word) from the majority of people that don't use drugs, who drive down the street not stoned, who show up for work everyday and produce, who raise kids who learn that drugs are bad, addictive and no solution for anything. So just keep the windows clean, the floors vacuumed and remember to lock the doors on your way home.
What a looser. I mean luser. I mean losur. I mean LOSER.

Plus, I thought he was funny.
