Return of Jedi was on tv (TNT I think) a couple days ago. Man those speeder bike scenes really suck now. Back in the day you really had the strong belief that they really were going through the trees at a high rate of speed. Now it just looks like a really bad green screen.
Actually the US produces closer to 29-30% of the world's goods with 25% of the world's "resources". So, we produce goods at a higher efficiency than the rest of the world (on average).
But you're right, that doesn't sound quite as sexy. It's like when people complain about the US's "record" deficits even though it, as a percentage of it's GDP, is no where near record levels and is lower than most of Europe. But again, that's not as sexy.
I was responding to the original poster's attack on "middle class america"....the 1st Amendment isn't to protect controversial expression, only forms of artistic expression that middle class Americans approve of. It has nothing to do with my "nationalism". I think the original poster is from the US anyways.
America is not the shining bastion of morality that you seem to have deluded yourself into thinking.
Interesting post: "Let's not make this a pro/anti american thing". Then you take a shot at the US (and me, oh no, I'm delusional!). Great job, really a consistent thought process. Let's see... that calls for me to take a jab at you... hmm... You have deluded yourself into thinking that you're actually intelligent. Yeah, that works.
You understand that the FBI is part of the DHS, right? So, any action by the FBI could be called an action by the DHS. I'm sure there are other federal law enforcement agencies also involved with fighting child porn, most of which would fall under the DHS.
What a wonderful argument! Defend your point of view by pointing out flaws in a law governing the legal age of consent. How does this relate to 10 year olds being videotaped while they're being raped?
Trying to tie this issue to 1st amendment rights shows how little you know about the issue and how little you know about the 1st amendment.
Children are bought and sold, gang-raped, and forced to have sex with each other. Acts which absolutely destroy a child. This isn't some victimless crime.
But, continue on with your ignorant anti-american ways. I'm sure it somehow makes you feel better about yourself.
The bill that passed congress was not an attempt to impose "their will on Schiavo". It was simply a bill that allowed the case to be reviewed again, this time by a federal judge, and instructed the federal judge to review it without referencing the previous cases. There is a legal term for this, but, alas, IANAL. The judge did not do this, and just referred back to the previous rulings.
I'm not saying that what the congress did was right, but it wasn't as horrible as many are making it seem.

Oh boy. So poor 3rd world countries speak bastardized versions of their languages! That worked out really well...
Germany's ability to spread beer across the globe is much more impressive.
Because that's what most people use emulators for, developing their own software! Give me a break.
But you're right, it is I who needs to buy a clue.

Al Franken's book, "Lies and the Lying Liars who tell them"
Is that an autobiography?
Franken's an idiot. He's no better than those he attacks.

And why was a conference necessary to make this deadline? Why does everything have a conference these days?
War is not a court case, nor it is a criminal investigation.
Um, he said it was dark, dark, dark.
1000x darker than Empire.
Way dark.
Is it.... Doom 3 dark?

Most Americans believe bloggers should not be allowed to publish sensitive personal information about individuals
Web hosting company Hostway this week released the results of its poll of 2,500 respondents on blogging.
We all know Hostway's stellar reputation for high quality surveys.

Something being reported in the Star Tribune lends no credence to it being truthful, accurate or factual.
But, fortunately, the Best Buy thing is true.
