the US is at war "with those responsible for the Sept. 11'th attacks" and it is at war with Iraq.
Wouldn't that make U.S. companies working in Iraq traitors? If they were helping to rebuild the infrastructures of a country their nation is at war with... infrastructures destroyed by their own military forces no less!
They aren't traitors, of course, because the U.S. isn't at war with Iraq. But that would be treason, wouldn't it?
Oh God, oh God, please bring back Firefly and we can continue to live!
Meh, there's always Galactica. Same FX guys (there's even a firefly class ship cameo in the pilot ep!), and hot babes blowing up shiny robots in space... what's not to like?
At first I was uneasy about the whole replicant-cylon thing, and the sexchange they did on Starbuck, but they all turned out to be supersluts, and thus they are quite entertaining indeed.
That was just a post about how these guys are what they claim to be: Someone trying to get the rights to something they do not own, and asking for info from a specific group of people.
Now, I don't know what kind of phishing scheme works this way... I suppose a name with an email is a good start for spammers, but who'd want to spama bunch of sci-fi geeks?
OH MY GOD! It's Rick Berman... he's seeking revenge because we abandoned Star Trek! Hide your children!
it's not like there are hot men there to attract geek girls (assuming that that WOULD do such a thing)
There are high ranking men in a multi billion dollar industry. I don't know much about women, but I know that to them, rich men = hot men.
Of course, the boothbabes are also after these same persons, therefore I'll assume that this coup against the hot-babe order of things is orchestrated by geek girls who want to get the rich men without the competition of babes in skimpy outfits : )
explain to them exactly why your NOT gonna take it anymore...

oh You're So Condescending your Gall Is Never Ending we Don't Want Nothin', Not A Thing From You your Life Is Trite And Jaded boring And Confiscated if That's Your Best, Your Best Won't Do
It's not wrong to dislike something just because the groupthink says you should like it
No, it just mean you're sooooooo much better than everyone! Since you don't like something because others like it, by rejecting something popular, you set yourself appart! You're special!
Ah... well... I guess... they are handy... I mean, yeah... crazy krauts:P
But using a foreign word in a deformed manner to use for something new is a classic. I don't mind when it's in another language so much because they don't know any better. Though it is sometimes quite hilarious.
mobile phones (because they're mobile, and they're phones)
Well, technically, all phones that aren't bolted down are mobile. Your number won't follow the phone line to which you hook it, but the phone itself can be moved. Hence my dislike for "mobile phone". My dislike for the shorthand "mobile" was expressed earlier: That's already something!
Now, if the phone followed you around of it's own volition, that'd be different : )
Get off your high horse already, and realize English is a living, changing language. This isn't France for crying out loud...
Hmmm, random cultural bashing aside, how the fuck is having an opinion and stating so "being on a high horse"? Did I say anything about how my opinion is the only valid one, or did I explicitly state it was an opinion, jerk?
Right, so if I manage to engineer a cheeta with wheels (that is twice as fast as the current cheetas but with similar fuel requirements because of reduced friction of using wheels) then why wouldn't in the plane environment, outperform and therefore superceed the current cheeta???
Because sometimes it rains!!! And it'll get stuck in mud!!! And read my other reply in the thread to read a number of other reasons.
cars that can move faster in a rocky enviroment with wheels, even faster than some animals can.
It's not just a question of running fast, there's also swimming, shimmyig under low hangings, climbing piles of boulders, and swiping at thins with your claws, catching other things...
There's already creatures that can do all of that, if one shows up and tries to evolve wheels, it's gonna get backed into an evolutionary dead end fast.
He had WMDs, at least of the chemical kind. How do we know this? Because we gave them to him, and then the Russians gave them to him! He also used them in the Gulf War.
Iraq used chemical weapons in the 1991 Gulf War? Prove it, because aside from claims of soldiers that were denied by the Pentagon, I've never heard of that.
Link please.
I can't believe you're sticking to the WMD story even after the damn president confessed it was bullshit. How far will your denial go?
the Bush admin has repeatedly stated over and over again that the US will not take Iraq's oil because he doesn't want people to think that the invasion was about oil.
It worked GREAT on you. But it was, and still is, a lie.
And the No-bid Halliburton contracts, how do you rationalise those?

Galactica is the worst SF show I have seen in a long time.
Wellcome back! How was the tibetan monastery these past decades? Peacefull?

Uh-oh! I think a whole lot og biology teachers are gonna get pegged for their radical views on the "controversy over evolution".
Fox TV programming executives. He's only every bit as good as they are.

Ouch! That's just mean!

I generally don't like Sci-Fi but the show really was bad.
If (allSciFi == Bad) then sciFi.firefly = bad;
By any definition of the word.
Germans use the word "Handy" for mobile phones
:P
Ah... well... I guess... they are handy... I mean, yeah... crazy krauts
But using a foreign word in a deformed manner to use for something new is a classic. I don't mind when it's in another language so much because they don't know any better. Though it is sometimes quite hilarious.
It's the word we use in England.
I know, you're like the 3rd or 4th to needlessly point that out.
mobile phones (because they're mobile, and they're phones)
Well, technically, all phones that aren't bolted down are mobile. Your number won't follow the phone line to which you hook it, but the phone itself can be moved. Hence my dislike for "mobile phone". My dislike for the shorthand "mobile" was expressed earlier: That's already something!
Now, if the phone followed you around of it's own volition, that'd be different : )
I'd hate to see your other definition for "handy" :P
Huh?
Get off your high horse already, and realize English is a living, changing language. This isn't France for crying out loud...
Hmmm, random cultural bashing aside, how the fuck is having an opinion and stating so "being on a high horse"?
Did I say anything about how my opinion is the only valid one, or did I explicitly state it was an opinion, jerk?
This is a mobile.
I hate that use of the word, "cell phone" worked just fine, IMO.
I know I have more trouble in mud than my landrover used to.
Take a bicycle, for an accurate comparison... unless you are stronger than a few hundred horses, in which case, go see the Guiness people.

the wheel and the screw. If such methods are better, why has no animal evolved them?
Because they aren't better: The real world has rocks on it.

you got a "flamebait"
Yeah, I'm trying to see how that post was in any way flamebait... can't.
Ah well, I guess it's someone drunk... or someone with a grudge.
prostitution organized and perpetrated with text messages
How does that work, exactly?
