  1. Typo: I think it's a DVR not DVD. on DVD / Hard Drive Recorder With 28-Day Capacity · · Score: 0, Troll

    The 400GB hard drive is the main clue.

  2. Nearly all Canadians think... on Michael Moore Seeks TV Airing of Fahrenheit 9/11 · · Score: 1

    Nearly all Canadians think Bush is an moron and bad for the USA/world and we don't understand why our American neighbo[u]rs don't see this too.

    We see that you don't like him, but we really don't care, in fact it it leads us to be more supportive of W. The "whole world" thought that that Reagan was a great satan and that his escalation of the Cold War would lead to WW3. As per usual they were exactly wrong.

    The rest of the world has a poor track record for being ahead of the curve on realpolitik. Evidence suggests this is one more example.

    They only thing we want out of Canada is your timber. Your can keep your politics.

  3. Re:Canadian politics. on Michael Moore Seeks TV Airing of Fahrenheit 9/11 · · Score: 1

    I haven't seen a session for 2-3 years, there really isn't anything important enough occuring in Canada to warrant coverage in the US, but I distinctly recall a level of decorum just slightly greater then the circuses in Taiwan. There were several jeers of Liar! Liar!

    They're playing games with the taxpayers dollar.

  5. The documentary on Lions the other night... on Michael Moore Seeks TV Airing of Fahrenheit 9/11 · · Score: 1

    that was on Discovery channel was SO biased. All the y did was show lions laying around and killing every once in a while. I couldn't stand it and had to turn it off.

  6. Canadian politics. on Michael Moore Seeks TV Airing of Fahrenheit 9/11 · · Score: 1

    The few times I've watched the Canadian Parliament it consisted of a lot of cries of 'liar'. It was quite undignified. I saw nothing for the US to emulate.

  7. Enterprise is OK. on Should Star Trek Die? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    My preferences are Star Trek, ST: Enterprise, ST: The Legend Continues, ST Voyager, and DS9. The last two being so bad I think I watched 5 episodes total.

    I was skeptical about Bakula. I couldn't stand Quantum Leap, each week it was the same woman/black/retard/chimp fighting for liberation. He seems to recognize, or at least is taking direction from someone who does, that the part requires some testosterone.

    And let's face it T'Pol is hot. It's the Spock/Bones relationship again, but this time the Vulcan is one sexy bitch. Yeah baby!

  10. If the rest of the world wanted you punch yourself on Hackers Take Aim at Republicans · · Score: 1

    would you do it?

    "Kerry has made it clear that the war in Iraq was the right thing to do, if we had had the support of the world to do it."

    So Kerry defines his moraly based on the opinions of of others? Cowabunga dude.

    So Kerry would have thought freeing the slaves was a good idea, but only if other people thought so too? This Kerry character sounds like a real couragous guy.

    What you describe is a good example of argumentum ad populum. Remember the bandwagon fallacy?

    I think people don't remember that the US is a member of the world, and no longer a Superpower.

    How is the US not the only superpower? With the fall of the USSR we're it. The top, Numero uno. No other coutry has the might economicly militarily or politicaly that we do. None are even close.

    We need to work with the world when it is in our interest to do so and againt the world when it is in our interest to do so.

    I'd venture to say that 3/4 of them were raised by mommy and daddy wasn't home to spank little Johnny when he acted up. (eg Johnny Taliban's dad who ran off with another man)

  12. Re:Sorry, didn't realize you're still a child. on Hackers Take Aim at Republicans · · Score: 1

    attacking the man instead of the argument

    I wasn't attacking anything. Only pointing out that I saw an explanation for you initial wildly inaccurate post. While you may not like to hear it, you're still a kid, even at 20. All of us at 20 thought we had the world figured out at 20, and at 25 and at 30 etc. Suprisingly, except to anyone whose gone through the transition themselves, our world view changed radically several times throughout that period. I realize this isn't the case for all 20 year olds, just as all neo-cons aren't jews, and I'm sure there are a few black Russians out there, but to the extent we can generalize, I will.

    It's fantastic that you'd rather cut spending then raise taxes, even though you don't say for what ends you'd do this, the former is expansionary and the later contractionary. It wasn't until I got my degree in economics and got a job in finance that I abandoned the views of economic conservatism.

    PS I voted for Nader last time.

    PPS Churchill's quote isn't so much that conservatives are smart and liberals dumb, but kids really don't have anything constructive to add to the debate becasue the world view is so narrow.

    PPPS I really don't care about your politics, my main point was just to correct you corruption of the term neo-con. Neo-con's are Jews, either secular or practicing. Yes the moniker is incorrectly applied to others, sometimes by themselves. However as I said, they were liberal Jews who became conservatives. Without the transformation the neo prefix really doen't make any sense.

    PPPPS Michael Novak (one of the ones whom you cited as a gentile neo-con) is a Jew.

    Looking at your website I see your only 20. That brings to mind the famous quote from Churchill(although its attribution is disputed).

    "If you aren't a liberal at 20 you don't have a heart; if you arent a conservative at 40 you don't have a brain."

  17. 8:1 is about right (er left). on Hackers Take Aim at Republicans · · Score: 1

    The Annenberg foundation did a study revealing that about 80% of the Washington Press corps vote Democrat. Figure 10% Repub, 10% Green/Libertarian/Whig/whatever and your 8:1 is about right.

  18. Please let us know how old you are. on Hackers Take Aim at Republicans · · Score: 1

    "The dems distort the truth, yes, but nowhere near the magnitude that the right does. It's an admitted fact."

    "The right" admitted this??? I didn't know "the right" had an official spokesman, nor did I know they had issued an offical mea culpa.

    It's really unfortunate that the D's have been hijacked by adolescents and fruitcakes. America would be much better off with two serioua parties.

  21. Active vs Passive on Hackers Take Aim at Republicans · · Score: 1
    Active vs Passive may be a relevant distinction to make. Just because Simon & Schuster won't publish your "Vegan Manifesto" doesn't mean your rights are being violated. If Simon & Schuster bought any publisher who agreed to publish your book, and shut them down just so they wouldn't, then you might have a case.

    In this instance, the infantile Democrats are actively doing whatever they can to prevent the Republicans from communicating their message.

    However, this is a presidential campaign, and they are supposed to be about ENTERTAINMENT. What good a campaign without dirty tricks?

  22. You do realize... on Hackers Take Aim at Republicans · · Score: 1
    that the neo-cons are Jews. The term means Jews who were liberals, realized the error of their ways, and became conservative. Hence neo (new) conservatives.

    You babbling about their Christianity just makes you look like an idiot. Let me guess, you're a Democrat?

    From Wikipedia

    "Many of today's most famous neocons are from Eastern European Jewish immigrant families, who were frequently on the edge of poverty. The Great Depression radicalized many immigrants, and introduced them to the new and revolutionary ideas of socialism and communism."
