Is anyone watching UPN's Star Trek spinoff, ENTERPRISE, this season? The show's producers have developed a new story arc where designed to be a "parallel to September 11th", wherein Earth is attacked without warning by this race no one has heard of called the Xindii. They attack with advanced technology given to them by a race from the future, and Starfleet sends the ENTERPRISE to find them, root them out, and punish them.
Does this sound familiar? Well, it shouldn't.
This is not a parallel to September 11th and the US response. A TRUE parallel would look a little something like this:
Earth has known about the Xindii for decades - not only known, but in fact, has been giving them money and advanced weapons to attack
the Klingons for years. All the while, Earth has been building bases all over nearby worlds to the Xindii, and has been trying to promote human food and entertainment (like chains of coffee bars that sell, earl grey, hot) to their people. Starfleet intelligence starts reporting that some Xindii are getting pissed and planning to attack Earth, but Starfleet Command ignores them or loses their reports.
Then the Xindii attack, not with some high-tech marvel from the future, but by crashing some old cargo freighters into San Francisco. Earth mourns. (They got that part right) Ditto on Earth wanting to wreak vengeance.
Except, if we really want to keep continuing the parallel, Starfleet seizes hordes of aliens living on Earth, Xindii or otherwise, locks them up without trial and accuses anyone who protests these actions of being a traitor.
Then, they don't need to spend a whole season sending ENTERPRISE to find the Xindii homeworld. Knowing where it is (because they've been paying and arming the Xindii for years, remember?) they rush over to said homeworld (which hasn't even developed internal combustion and steam power, let alone warp drive) and blows its semicivilization to bits, installing a puppet government. To help stay on top of the Xindii remnants, Starfleet makes alliances with morally questionable races like the Klingons, Romulans, and Ferengi, giving them tons of money and assurances of alliance, turning the other way when they torture their own people.
After all this, Starfleet finds that the head Xindii who masterminded the attacks got away.
Ok, so here's the season-long story arc, then, perhaps - finding the Xindi masterminds. But we have to keep our parallels intact! With the Earth economy failing, Starfleet decides to focus its main attentions now on some minor alien race...let's say the Pakleds, those guys from the Next Generation who putter around in dinky ships going, "we look for things to make us go."
Let's say the Pakleds are real bastards who have been gassing and torturing their own people ("we made them go...to hell! Haha!") for
years...half the time using weapons that Starfleet sold them. Starfleet, which still hasn't found the Xindii masterminds, now tells the populace of Earth that the Pakleds are in fact somehow responsible for the Xindii attack, and furthermore, that the Pakleds are in possession of photon torpedoes and planning to attack Earth any day now.
The Pakleds respond: "We have no torpedoes. We look for torpedoes to make us strong, but we don't have them."
Starfleet says: "You're lying. You have them."
Pakleds: "No we don't. Gosh, we'd love them - then we would be strong. But we don't. Besides, you have them - what's so wrong about having them?"
Starfleet says: "Oh, we are SO gonna so blow your planet to smithereens...and afterwards, start mining the substantial dilithium deposits you have there. Oops, did we say that part out loud?"
Some humans on Earth say: "Um, what about the Xindii? Aren't THEY our enemy?"

There's one important difference between Open Source and Microsoft though.
Open Source software is UGLY to use. They try to copy the look of the Microsoft UI, but totally fail to capture the FEEL. We can guarantee that all the little things like sensible tab order and keyboard shortcuts which allow XP users to get their fucking work DONE efficiently won't be in this drab looking pastiche.
And let's not forget the truth about Linux GUI - Response times that can only be measured using geological terms. Start typing, and you may be lucky to see what you've typed after a few epochs.
Yes, but Urban Dictionary is shit, because it's written by children trying to be 'cool' and 'hard' and 'street' by saying rude words and ebonics. Cuntish nigger-wannabees, the lot of them.
Another Urban Dictionary misnomer is the definition of "shit-blistering", which to be quite frank is pathetic. The TRUE definition of shit blistering can be found in this excellent journal.
Anyway, I'm listening to the new Thor album and it's making my cock glisten, so I'm off to masturbate violently.

The finnish are one of the most humorless peoples on the planet. Not as much as islamics, but they're still no fun to be with.
No wonder 'alcohol related falling incidents' are the most common cause of death in that blighted land.
Black against white yellow versus red the fighting won't stop until we're all dead
Burning, looting, riots destroy the masses Nightfall, brings death, city reduced to ashes
Don't call me your brother 'cause I ain't your fucking brother we fell from different cunts and your skins an ugly color
Race War we're going to a race war Hate War we're going to a hate war
Bloodshed, rampage, torture is not subsiding Chaos, bedlam, violent ethnic uprising
Moslems against Christians and the Arabs versus Jews the Catholic and Protestants no one wins we all lose
Everybody's gonna die
Xenophobic tendencies instilled in us at birth are misabled racism hostilities getting worse accept the fact my distant cousin we cannot live in peace isolated environments may just be the key
Human beings suspicious soon fear grows to hate we'll have each other by the throat when forced to integrate mothers watch their children die at each other's hand Cain and Able set the course ethnocentric command

Why bother helping these ungrateful raghead bastards? We should be lining them up in their hundreds and shooting them all.
There is no such thing as an honest muslim. Remember that.
Here's to the next 244 MILLION.
That'll thin the herd. Drop a nuke on ALL the backwards ragheads.

If a man, let's call him Michael, were to drink in a gay bar only to find himself getting brutally gang-sodomised in the toilets, would this be rape?
I say not. Clearly any man who attends such sick gatherings of perversion knows what he's letting himself in for, and deserves everything he gets.
Discuss.
Heterosexuals.
I think he's talking about MASTURBATION!
Is that the party where all the other guys take turns to ejaculate into her chubby face?
How else could the nation of pedophiles obtain all the kiddie porn they desire?
Arise Sir Pedo-Porn-Meister!

They're islamic. They're murderers. It's at the core of their belief system.
And you don't need to watch CNN to know that.
Bit of luck no-one uses Opera anymore then, isn't it?

Race War Lyrics
Artist(Band):Carnivore
(Print the Lyrics)
Black against white
yellow versus red
the fighting won't stop
until we're all dead
Burning, looting, riots destroy the masses
Nightfall, brings death, city reduced to ashes
Don't call me your brother
'cause I ain't your fucking brother
we fell from different cunts
and your skins an ugly color
Race War
we're going to a race war
Hate War
we're going to a hate war
Bloodshed, rampage, torture is not subsiding
Chaos, bedlam, violent ethnic uprising
Moslems against Christians
and the Arabs versus Jews
the Catholic and Protestants
no one wins we all lose
Everybody's gonna die
Xenophobic tendencies
instilled in us at birth
are misabled racism
hostilities getting worse
accept the fact my distant cousin
we cannot live in peace
isolated environments
may just be the key
Human beings suspicious
soon fear grows to hate
we'll have each other by the throat
when forced to integrate
mothers watch their children die
at each other's hand
Cain and Able set the course
ethnocentric command
Race War
Hate War
The guy is not from a country where English is a primary language.
What? America?
It's because Brits are ignorant fucktards who spend all their free time looking at spreadsheets. Nation of Shoplifters.
Throwing cars at people
Throwing cars at people
ON COKE WITH THOR!
You are a pedophile.
He DOES 'touch wood', because he's a shit stabber. He'll probably die of AIDS before 2006.
Cunt.
Apart from taking it up the shitter.
