    Unless you insult Jedi.
    He seems pretty touchy on that subject as we see in ANH and in Empire we see his inability to deal with failure in a constructive manner.

    Another thing that left Darth Maul a less convincing villian was that the Jedi "heros" were more involved in shady dealings and stuff then he was.

    Check out one of the Phantom Edits. They make JaraJar an intelligent character who actually plays a part inthe plot, and replace the aliens bad accents with giberish and subtitles (including Jar Jar).
    Still not he best film ever, but the edits do improve it.

    "It's so ... black!" said Ford Prefect, "you can hardly make out its shape ... light just seems to fall into it!"

    Zaphod said nothing. He had simply fallen in love.

    The blackness of it was so extreme that it was almost impossible to tell how close you were standing to it.

    "It's black," said Ford, "Everything in it is just totally black ..."

    ____

    "It's the wild colour scheme that freaks me," said Zaphod whose love affair with this ship had lasted almost three minutes into the flight, "Every time you try to operate on of these weird black controls that are labelled in black on a black background, a little black light lights up black to let you know you've done it. What is this? Some kind of galactic hyperhearse?"

    The walls of the swaying cabin were also black, the ceiling was black, the seats - which were rudimentary since the only important trip this ship was designed for was supposed to be unmanned - were black, the control panel was black, the instruments were black, the little screws that held them in place were black, the thin tufted nylon floor covering was black, and when they had lifted up a corner of it they had discovered that the foam underlay also was black.

    I agree. Games should be fun to play.
    Everyone I know who is in my age group (30's) has a Gamecube, and yes a PS2 (I only know one who has an Xbox). When we want to have a lot of fun most of the time we play Gamecube games. Sure Bombastic (re-make of devil dice) is fun multiplayer, but SONY fucks everyone up the ass with the whole buy a new multitap for every console release.

    I think Floyd has had the most impact. A number of console games FF7, Grandia II do the same thing with characters, but I think what made the events in planetfall have more impact on the player was that you were alone with only this quirky robot who decided to adopt you like a cat.

    Personally I find that the things that turn me on were not things I chose. Some I find rather strange, but they still turn me on. Some may be because of society or upbringing, but I dont know where the other ones come from.

    Then we need to ban all no reproductive marriage. In fact people should have to produce offspring (matching them genetically) before they can be allowed to marry. And they must continue to reproduce to maintain married status.
    No marriage for the infertile or those who do not want children.

    Then we need to limit marriage to people who have children. No one can marry till they have them. No one is allowed to marry if they dont have them or intend not to. Adoption does not count for straights if it does not count for gays.

    The funny thing is most of the anti gay marriage people seem to say thing that sound exactly like what was said about interracial marriage back in the good ol days of white supremacy. As someone who is married outside of his race I still sometimes hear someone make comments about who I love. I have a hard time not punching them in the face, I feel the same anger towards people who use the same arguments and language about homosexual partnerships.

    Straights should clean up their own house before criticizing anyone elses marriage practices. Like stop getting married if your not planning on being faithful (as you fucking vowed to), and the list goes on and on how much straight people seem to shit on the supposed sanctity of marriage.

    Now this could be crazy talk, but what if my religion has no teachings saying gays can not marry?

    Ther are more religions then the big 3.

    Then again if you want to be literal a couple who do not have sex strictly for the reason of reproduction (any other kind is a sin) and who do not raise childern, can not be married as marriage is only for couples fucking for childern. If your unlucky enough that god made you infertile too bad. If you adopt, still you are SOL. Wilfully going aginst GOD by using birth control or operations to prevent you from haing childern is certainly sinful and such marrages should be nuked by churches all around the country.

    I notice you specify how "good marraiges" need to be enshrined as something special. Considering at least a majority of the straight male population cant fucking keep his wedding vows (A god example of the kind of "man" I am talking about is Mr. Newt Gingrich and Bill Clinton) do you believe straight couple are somehow special. All I see is a lot of people delusing themselves and going on to hurt a bunch of people around them because they stupidly got married when that's not the kind of life they are willing to live.
    What exactly is a "good marrage" and how can we legally ensure only those kind of marrages happen?
    Is it a good thing when most of that special group piss all over that supposed holy unique thing?

    MCA was used by IBM up untill 1996-1997 (I dont remember when they went over to PCI exactly) for the RS/6000 (POWERPC) machines they were selling. I believe MCA was first used by IBM back when the PS/2 systems were introduced to the market, this would have been late 80's into 1990.
