  1. That explains how he gets from Colorado to LA so quickly.
  2. My play-by-play tracker at ESPN still lists him as being ejected. Two minutes later, it lists Kobe as making a shot. Then again yesterday ESPN said the BoSox lost 11-7, and then five minutes later it said the BoSox won 9-7.
  3. It's getting pretty hard here to ignore a discussion in Isreal. Suicide bombers kill civilians. Isreal responds by attacking military targets and the UN goes up in arms. How about the UN go after the terrorists rather those who try to protect themselves?
  4. What did Kobe just get ejected for?
  5. I wouldn't watch Fox News if I was paid to. Any network that allows Geraldo to be an anchor is a friggin' joke. And that document lists resolutions from the 60's and 70's. What a joke. The political climate of Isreal is worlds different, and so is the world's understanding of the situation. Even counting back to the 60's, Isreal has 31 resolutions. Iraq has 74 resolutions since 1990. So, no Isreal is not it violation of more UN resolutions than Iraq.
  6. I am currently suffering through/enjoying a bag of flavored sunflower seeds. You see, the flavoring is on the outside of the shells. So I have to suck it off, then crack open the shell and eat the insides. Either I crack it inside my mouth, and spit out the remains of sunflower shells (fairly indignant) or spit out the seed, crack it, and then reinsert into my mouth. Or I could try to eat the shell. None of these options seem appealing. Why create such a product?
  7. Chu doesn't seem to want to come around anymore. I think we scared the Laker fan off.
  8. Sanctions were the first tactic tried in 1990. It didn't work. Saddam took the money from oil sales, and bought more weapons while starving his people.
  9. At halftime Minny is looking good. There are two more quarters to go!
  10. It's all about the Colecovision!
  11. "No, turn to the light!" "You're about to see a very bright light, alright!"
  12. I think I need some "private" time now.
  13. If Lucas really ran LucasArts, he'd make us wait 20 years for the next KOTOR, only to make it a galactic disappointment.
  14. The Lakers are dominating in every aspect, except shooting from the line. I will find it both sad and humorous if Minny wins this game at the stripe.
  15. You seem to forget a small but important detail. The US has a veto right in the security council and is *never* forced to deploy troops, unless they do so willingly (read: It suits their interests) To take a hot topic as an example: Israel has been in violation of more UN resolution than probably any other country in the world. Do you seriously think the US would send in the marines to liberate the Israeli occupied territories ? (No, this is *not* a cue to start a Israel/Palestine debate, but to illustrate the invalidity of the original statement <_< ) Isreal is a hot-bed, and I have my opinions, but I guess we won't go there. However, I don't believe they are in violation of more resolutions than other countries. If you can provide numbers to the contrary, I'll gladly eat crow. The UN has repeatedly asked Isreal to give land to terrorists that bomb their malls, busses, and schools. Yes, the US agrees with the UN resolutions if they send troops. I never implied otherwise. Sogorth made a point that the UN wasn't in the position to order troops into Iraq. I was simply pointing out that Sogorth was incorrect. The UN has that right, and capability. That is the purpose of the security council, to provide global security. Whether or not the US has agreed with past UN resolutions to deploy troops is irrelevant to that point.
  16. Let me add a few things. You said that Iraq wasn't a threat to anyone else? I'd like to hear you repeat that in Turkey, Iran, Kuwait, or Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is the home of Mecca. They don't allow westerners anywhere near Mecca. Yet, Saudi allowed the US to build a military base on their soil because they were afraid of an Iraqi invasion. Do you know how reticent they were to make that decision, or how unpopular that decision was to allow an American base in the same country as Mecca? You do realize that Iraq has invaded Iran numerous times, don't you? You do realize that Iraq has tried to practice genocide on it's own people, forcing certain sects of Islam into hiding in the mountains of Northern Iraq, right? Or did you miss that? Hmm. The UN waggles their finger, and Iraq kept being naughty, killing people. There was bloodshed in Iraq before we got there. Perhaps you missed that as well. Yeah, the UN was doing a swell job. And the UN does more than I realize. I'll accept that. I can't keep track of EVERYTHING they do. However, I would ask you what they are doing about Tibet, Korea, Vietnam, East Timor, South Africa, Liberia, Cuba, etc. The answer is nothing! I contend the UN has invalidated itself. You got upset when someone didn't back their argument with facts. Where are the facts to back your claims? (looking....looking....looking) Thought so.
  17. I seriously laughed when reading this. The UN has had no qualms ordering the deployment of troops in the past. Those troops are usually US forces, risking their lives at the whim of the UN. And the UN choose to make Iraq an issue by passing repeated UN Security Resolutions. Give me a second, and let me go count them..... ...Okay, I'm back. I counted 74 resolutions passed since Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990. So, Bush just made the situation up? I think you're forgetting that Clinton bombed Iraq before Bush was in office, or the fact that Saddam invaded Kuwait and sided with terrorist to begin with. And lest we not forget that Saddam was put in power by the CIA to combat Iranian terrorists. We screwed the pooch on that one, and there is no denying it. Iraq has been an issue for nearly 30 years. You're kidding yourself if you believe otherwise. Also, there is outdated intel in play, namely yours. WMD have been found in Iraq. I guess you don't follow the news. Futhermore, before we stepped foot in the country, we took satellite photos of caravans of trucks leaving Baghdad for Syria. I bet money alot of those weapons left on that caravan. Facts don't lie. The UN passed a LITANY of resolutions, demanding Iraq's compliance well before Bush was in office. The UN made it their issue, the refused to back up their own threats. Go read resolution 1441 and tell me what it says. I dare you to read that resolution and throw the same empty rhetoric in my face. Don't come to the table unless you know what you're talking about. Oh, and Sorgoth, you get brownie points for not listening to the TV. Most networks (ABC, NBC, CBS, FoxNews) are notorious for bad reporting. However, since we have to get our news from somewhere, I usually trust CNN.com, Reuters, and BBC. CNN is owned by Ted Turner, but that didn't stop them from negative reporting on Ted Turner at the time of the Atlanta Olympics. That makes them somewhat reputable and objective in my book.
  18. I'm at work. I can only follow the game on ESPN GameCast. Minnesota needs to WAKE up.
  19. Look, Tyrell, I respect the fact that you're trying to get new info on the game. That's nice. And I have nothing against you personally. However, I shall offer you some constructive criticism. You sound like a martyr. You present yourself as performing this herculean self-less act for the ungrateful masses. Getting new info on KOTOR:TSL is self-fufilling, and most people in your shoes would do the same thing. The fact that you asked people on the forum to provide questions was a considerate gesture, and one perhaps overlooked by the community. If people don't want to take advantage of an opportunity, that's they're loss. However, rubbing it in their faces that you're taking that away from them when they didn't seem to care about it in the first place comes across as antagonistic. That's just my point of view. And I eat paint chips.
  20. That's the nature of the console market. Phantom is trying to crack the market by giving their console away for free, if you subscribe to their service.
  21. Given that the majority of the house/senate in the US are conservative Republicans, it would seem the majority shifts towards an emphasis on morality.
  22. Did you play KOTOR? I know you're anti-Star Wars, but I think KOTOR was pretty good.
  23. Grammar buddy says: That's 'all too easy'.
  24. If they leave, they should be fair game to kill.
  25. With the PS2, you may have to wade through a sea of mediocre titles, but that doesn't mean the PS2 doesn't have it's fair share of great proprietary titles.
