    I think I'm going to write a story about a cross dressing, poodle molesting, never taking a bath, stupid failure at life serial killer. (who keeps a pair of his fathers old underwear around so he can sniff it). What should I name him???

  3. Re:Stargate on Does Syfy Really Love Sci-Fi? · · Score: 1

    I loved SG-U, But the question I always had was, Why was it every time they went down to a planet they walked. They were on a huge ship of extremely advanced design. They had some of the brightest human minds in existence. No one could come up with a thrown together 4 wheeler to carry supplies back to the ship ?????
    Still it was not given a proper chance. Cutting the season in half made watching it SUCK. Plus I would like to send out a persona note to the people who canceled SG-U.
    For letting your cast and crew know about the ax'ing from twitter. I hope your dog becomes a zombie, dry humps and then eats your whole family. Then slowly eats you.

  4. Sci-Fi was awsome...SyFy Sucks on Does Syfy Really Love Sci-Fi? · · Score: 1

    If you don't like it you can always CANCEL YOUR CABLE !!!!!
    There are a million ways to watch your favorite shows now. And when you cancel let your cable provider know why.
    Personally I am a big wrestling fan. But wrestling is not Sci-fi and does not belong on that channel. (I consider wrestling a sport the same way I consider gymnastics a sport. The are no real points and who wins doesn't really matter)
    When ever I order cable I would always get the package that included the Sci-Fi Channel (Screw their new spelling), but after how badly they mismanaged a bunch of different shows I was losing any loyalty to them. The final straw was when they canceled Stargate Universe. Ok I understand not all show deserve to be on tv. But to cancel a show and have your cast learn about it Via Twitter, They can blow me. There were a lot of really good shows that could have and should have made it but Sci-fi screwed them over.
    How is anyone supposed to be able to follow a show if you keep switching the nights its on around. Or if instead of having a regular season, half way the the season you have a break thats longer than the break between seasons.
    And as for what they are puting on Sci-fi now. Its garbage. Ghost hunters. Dear god that makes Wrestling look real.
    Screw Sci-Fi. They have lost a customer for life.

    They are still customers, They paid for LIFETIME memberships. To say that just because they are not currently send TIVO money makes them NOT customers, is like saying When you go to Mcdonalds and order food and pay for it your a customer, But if you pull away from the drive thru your not.
    They paid for LIFETIME service, they are customers who should be getting what they paid for , for the duration that was decided by both parties at the time of the sale.

    OK here we go .... The US Constitution states....
    "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

    It does not state that a private company can not make rules regarding any of that.
    Doesn't that make the US Constitution UNCONSTITUTIONAL from your argument?

    But on another point I wholeheartedly agree with you. Corporations and companies should NEVER be allowed to make rules or do things that violate a personals life,liberty, or pursuit of happiness, just like the Government.

    1.You smoke, that affects your health and unhealthy people are not as efficient at their jobs than if they were healthy....YOUR FIRED !!!
    2.Your GAY!?! Most of our employees here dont like gays so you would be just as inefficient at your job as if you were bad mouthing your fellow employees or bosses so.......YOUR FIRED!!!!
    3.Your Overweight (see #1) ...YOUR FIRED!!!!

    So if you are an employee of the city you are no longer a citizen of the city?
    SWEEET, I WANT A CITY JOB.
    If Im not a citizen than I should have to pay taxes. After all im not a citizen of Canada, so I dont pay taxes to them, even when I visit there. So why should I pay taxes to a town or city that im no longer a citizen of.
    OH WAIT......
    Since becomeing a city employee would mean I lose the RIGHT of FREEDOM of SPEECH, what other rights do they lose??
    All of them?? Just some ??? Are they even protected against crime ?? Can they be deported?
    Actually I think we should deport ALL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES RIGHT NOW.

    Please for the love of God , Please tell me you are NOT so stupid as to believe your own crap.

    "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

    And yes, I understand it says "Congress shall make no law" the Supreme Court has ruled that this also applies to state and local Government as well.
    The test is clean and simple, the government shall make NO laws that abridge freedom of speech. So you cant make a law stating what the consequences of someone speech would be.
    Anyone who claims to not understand this is either a simpleton or is trying to subvert the protections the Constitution provides all of us. And I cant imagine anyone being so stupid as not not understand something this simple.

    fifth amendment ? Nope its not there so must be ok, right ?
    Nice try but what this whole thing is about is The Forth Amendment not the Fifth.
    And Here for your Reading Pleasure (while still allowable under law) is The Forth Amendment.
    **Void where prohibited. Some exclusions may apply. Not vaild at Airports, or Schools, or federal buildings, or anywhere someone yells "TERRORIST". Also not valid anywhere people are "Thinking of the children".

    " The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. "

    Ok to answer your question about what precludes a judge from ordering you to take a breathalyzer.... "no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause"
    The Judge can not issue a warrant unless the COPS (Criminal On Public Salary) has probable cause. If the Judge is right there and can see clear as day there is no probable cause and he still issues a warrant he should be forced from office by whatever means needed.
