The Playstation game Summoner made a video of that with the Summon characters acting out the bit, taking the audio from the original bit. It's great seeing a demon in the kitchen going "Can I grab a Mountain Dew?"

Or throw the rocks through the window... Or scale the roof and drop down the chimney... Or take my axe to the door... Or go home and **** like a feral wildebeast... "I cast magic missle at the darkness!"

"Hey mister! My kitten is caught up in that tree, can you help me get it down?" Revan shoots force-lightening at the tree. **Zotty-Zotty** The kid cries and the cat panicks. "Well, if the cat is weak it will die. If the cat is strong, it will save itself. Don't mention it, kid."

I don't think those factories produced the WMD. Those were training labs. Clinton said that Sudan was producing the chemical weapons for Iraq.

I actually worried about Turkey moving into Northern Iraq. The Kurds up north may scream for a seperate state, but they wouldn't be able to protect themselves from a Turkish invasion. I know that Iran and Turkey are licking their chops when looking at Iraq and their oil supply, but they'd have to realize the UN would step right back in. Then again, maybe that's what they want so they'd have further excuse to take pot-shots at US troops.

Funny that, because one could argue that the midichlorians and Rakatan failed to maintain a symbiotic relationship.

Well, that's what the PnP game is for. In fact, your group gets to decide exact execution of the rules, what character you want, what tone you want, what setting you want, whether to kill people like Carth, whether or not to include Romance, etc.

If I had any inclination of playing a hentai game, I think I'd sleep with my girlfriend instead.

That would make the game very, very short.

Hans said that Iraq had complied. Hans said there weren't WMD in Iraq. The UN felt there was plenty of proof that Iraq hadn't complied, and we ended up finding WMD and labs. Quite frankly, I think the 500 rounds with Sarin gas to be fairly meaningless. I only point to it because it's concrete. It's hard to argue about the WMD that are probably in Syria now or elsewhere. I know people have said that if Saddam had weapons he would have used them. I think Saddam feared his own military performing a coup because of the way he treated them. Saddam didn't try to stay in Baghdad and fight. He hid much of his military in civilian areas, and ran off into the night. They had jets in Iraq, but no one tried to fly them. In fact, Iraq just flat out didn't use alot of their weapons and military assets. We dropped fliers and told troops to go home. Many of them did. I think the real meaningful find was the labs. If Saddam had no WMD, nor plans to develop them, then why did they had procedures for the training and use of them?

I figured he would. I think Prince really got overlooked in this series though. So did Darko. Darko for MVP!

I don't believe I ever said "Hans is a liar" I said that Hans said one thing and UN said another. Who should we believe, well Hans was proven wrong, so that's an easy call. You said that Bush called Hans a liar. Let me go back and check what I wrote.

It mentions and cites the three resolutions that give legitimacy to the US occupation of Iraq. Regardless, the UN recognized the occupation as being legal and sovreign after the fact. Edit: Fair enough, I took Blinx's statements to the next level and put words in his mouth. He didn't swear they weren't there. However I think he failed to really grill Iraq. The UN said they believed Iraq was in violation and Blinx complied with Iraq's games and non-sense.

Was Phil even coaching? I didn't see major shake-ups. I didn't see a change in game-plans. I saw Kobe continue to sink this team.

But there is politics in what countries we do business with, and which ones we don't. One of the main reasons the United States gets attacked by terrorists is because of our financial ties to Isreal.

Phil Jackson, 9-1 in the Finals.

Hrm. We certainly don't care that Palestinians blow up Isreali civilians every day. As long as you kill them in small amounts, it's easier to overlook. If you kill thousands at once, it's harder to overlook. England is a major ally of ours. We would go to war for England in a heart-beat. What if terrorists killed thousands in Zaire? That I don't know. It would matter to me, but I don't know about the administration. I think the American public would pull a Hades and say screw them.

I've seen you show support for Kerry. Kerry has been quoted on the record several times of saying Iraq had WMD. I guess Kerry lied and/or was just as incompetent. But you put the blame solely on Bush. My guess is that if Bush went into Iraq sooner, we would have found more weapons. Bush tried to avoid war in Iraq. Clinton bombed with no warning or attempt at diplomacy. First off, human life is precious. I don't see lives as numbers. I'm saddened that you can write off human life so easily. But you want to talk about the big picture. They used to say that the sun never set on the British Empire. Their reach was vast. Our little tiny colonies with no military to speak of spanked England and sank the greatest navy in the world. Their empire fell apart, as did the Roman Empire, the Ottoman Empire, the Egyptian Empire, the Greek Empire, the Babylonian Empire, etc. You feel confident that no one can touch the United States and that you're safe. How do you think all the other empires in history felt? On September 11th, I saw children dancing in the streets and singing in Palestine. They were singing that God loved them because Americans were dying. I think you're a little ignorant about how various people feel about Americans. This was before we went into Afghanistan or Iraq. This was before Bush really did anything. People were rejoicing at our deaths. You blame Bush for the world's opinion of us. Before Bush ever got into office, people were willing to blow themselves up to take a few of us with them. There are those who would kill you if they could. There are those than want to destroy your very life without knowing a thing about you. And you could care less.

If the United States cut themselves off today from foreign countries, I'd hate to think what would happen. A good chunk of our labor and trade is with foreign countries. Businesses would crumble. Other countries would scream and throw a fit because of negative impacts it would have there. What about the relief packages we send to impoverished countries? Do you still maintain that weak countries should just die off? We tried to be isolationist before WWI and WWII. In both instances the US was attacked. And on September 11th we were attacked again by Al Quaeda despite the fact that we had never really attacked them. Before September 11th, Al Quaeda had launched other terrorist attacks on the US. I'd like to see you stand face to face with the families of those victims and tell them that you think the US wasn't hurt, or that the attacks didn't matter. On September 11th, I was deeply hurt and moved. And if you told me then what I just read now, I would have decked you. Then again, you don't have to care. And you're entitled to your opinion. You're also entitled to express it because the members of the United States armed forces give their lives to protect those rights for you. Too bad the American public doesn't recognize that, or do their part to stay informed or vote.

Again, I ask... Who is your series MVP?

I think there are a great deal many people who consider preventing another 9/11 to be a major priority. And we are a member of the UN. The UN has a role to keep the peace globally. I could never in a million years simply go "it's only a few thousand innocent civilians being murdered". We originally got involved in Iraq 13 years ago because the UN asked us to. And I thought you didn't care. As far as biological weapons and not being able to affect us, do you remember the Anthrax scare? Do you understand that a lunchbox could contain enough devastation to affect a city? Chemical weapons are downright scary and Saddam had no qualms using them in the past.

I'd love to give video-conferencing RPing a try. I've RPed in most venues and styles. But I loved my regular group so much over the years, that most groups have really disappointed me.

I pulled quotes from 1991-1997 because it was the first thing I saw. Shortly after 9/11, The UN Security Council passed another unanimous resolution threatening Iraq and criticizing it for not complying. This was after Hans was on the job. That sounds like Hans wrote the last paragraph all right. Hans swore there were no weapons. Then why did we find some? Why did we find training labs hinting at even more while Hans didn't find them? News agencies at the time kept reporting how Iraq demanded that inspections only occur at certain times at certain sites. Hans performed a bunch of inspections. But he didn't find the weapons that were in fact there. When the UN passed yet another resolution in the end of 2001 (1441 I believe) in regards to Iraq, they demonstrated that they didn't buy Blinx's story. Resolutions Legalizing Force in Iraq

I think Force Choking strangers is not much different from what KOTOR offered to begin with. That's exactly the silly thug-mentality I hope the game avoids.
