So I was watching Starship Troopers today...
that is a thinly veiled excuse for saying, "basically i am too lazy and stupid to design awesome battle-suits and make them for all the actors to wear." <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You do realize you just said that about the director of RoboCop. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> how many robo cop suits are there? thats right, one. he is too lazy to make an army of super awesome robo cops. and robocop is a cyborg, not an exosuit pilot. but i was just joking when i made that comment. i just wanted to say "thinly veiled excuse" in a sentence. so i wish they'd make an actual starship troopers movie that was accurate to the book, because that would be sveeeeeet

Most underappriciated games
... admit it's flaws? flaws are what characterize the Morrowind series. You know it isn't Morrowind if you are having fun. Combat is absolutely disgusting, 100x worse than the fighting system of Intelligent Cube, and that doesn't even have a fighting system. like, your weapon, won't hit the thing, even though it just did! you see that it hits the thing but it doesn't! the dialogue, which Mreku also stylistically pointed out, is something i would be ashamed to wipe my crack with. the graphics caused me temporary blindness when i realised that it was the actual game that i was playing, and not some sadistic joke the programmers had placed to fool people into thinking they had just bought a modern game with graphics of the same caliber as 1942 (i have a very biased opinion based on my experience with this game) This game has forever ruined my perception of 'fully explorable 3D-world' rpg's. in a post about these games i made a couple weeks ago i said, "it was like a MMORPG without the second M and the O and without quality for the R and P. basically it was in its own money-wasting genre. in essence, an MRPG: Massively Really Pathetic Game."

so, bam, they are back? that is lame to me... but whatever. i like the idea of his bones breaking and whatever when he would try to use them like they were metal, and that they would grow back. and i don't think his bones would be that breakable. like, he's got three of them per hand, so there is some extra support, then anybody's bones aren't that easy to break. i mean, i am sure if they are sharp he could just puncture people with them and be alright for the most part, but the slashing would have to go. and i figured out why wolverine always looks angry-constipated. its because when he launches his claws out it goes through his recently healed skin, and that hurts, really badly, so hence the constant constipation frustration facial expression, of which i can do an impression, though it'll take a practice session, so i'd better put on my armour meshin, to stop the flying poop-turd that people'll throw at me because enough they've heard. yeah, this rhyme will have me murdered. :ph34r:

As I said, I'm two zip codes away from my marker, not a huge geographical distance, but it makes it that much harder. :ph34r: anyways, anyone know how to add to or change your marker? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> "To add a shoutout, just enter your name, zipcode, and shoutout above. Your name will only appear once on the map, but you can enter multiple shoutouts the same way." that might change your comment and picture, but i don't know if you can change where your marker is... but Kumq, i was able to get to your marker from the global map (w00t) . one must only click on the slight hint of a shadow behind Lonewolf.

ouch! at least he had that healing ability. so, did he get the atomantium (sp?) claws back or what? and you know how the bone claws were broken, what about that? did he try to break down a metal door and forgot that his mettle didn't match his metal anymore? (pun see! mettle metal! HAHA! good one, eh? )

The city of Jerusalem
Alright guys, i got an idea. it just, flew into my head here... well, its from the bible. we are going to pull a Solomon. the US will act as Solomon and his sword will be the US's nukes, since they have no problem being world police. The Jews and the Muslims are represented as the two harlots. (BTW this would be the worst idea, if you didn't already notice i was joking) 1 kings 3:16-28 Then two women who were harlots came to the king and stood before him. The one woman said, "Oh, my lord, this woman and I live in the same house; and I gave birth to a child while she was in the house. "It happened on the third day after I gave birth, that this woman also gave birth to a child, and we were together. There was no stranger with us in the house, only the two of us in the house. "This woman's son died in the night, because she lay on it. "So she arose in the middle of the night and took my son from beside me while your maidservant slept, and laid him in her bosom, and laid her dead son in my bosom. "When I rose in the morning to nurse my son, behold, he was dead; but when I looked at him carefully in the morning, behold, he was not my son, whom I had borne." Then the other woman said, "No! For the living one is my son, and the dead one is your son." But the first woman said, "No! For the dead one is your son, and the living one is my son." Thus they spoke before the king. Then the king said, "The one says, 'This is my son who is living, and your son is the dead one'; and the other says, 'No! For your son is the dead one, and my son is the living one.'" The king said, "Get me a sword." So they brought a sword before the king. The king said, "Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one and half to the other." Then the woman whose child was the living one spoke to the king, for she was deeply stirred over her son and said, "Oh, my lord, give her the living child, and by no means kill him." But the other said, "He shall be neither mine nor yours; divide him!" Then the king said, "Give the first woman the living child, and by no means kill him. She is his mother." When all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had handed down, they feared the king, for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him to administer justice.

For you x-men buffs, i have seen a picture or two and an action-figure of wolverine with broken skeleton-like claws (though, the action figure's skeleton claws weren't teh broken ). i was wondering, what the heck is up with that? and... it looks cool... but i want to know what happened to him.

yeah man, "gorilla suits". they had hydraulics that enhanced one's strength, a communication system, and there was this thing called the "y-rack" that sounded so cool to me when i was younger, because the main character takes a "y-rack" off the back of his suit and loads up his guns with it (w00t)

I think the original was "Thou shalt not murder". <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So...killing is.....ok? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He is simply clarifying what the commandment was, nothing else. although, i think when clarifying it, he implies that "kill" and "murder" are two different words and therefore have different meanings, but similar meanings sometimes too. the oxford dictionary says: "kill: v. 1 cause the death of 2 put an end to or destroy" "murder: n. 1 unlawful premeditated killing of a human being by another v. 1 kill (a human being) intentionally and unlawfully" so you have a square and rectangle thing going. by definition a rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles. and a square is an equilateral rectangle. so a square is always a rectangle but a rectangle is not always a square. ?Entiendes?

It is because they wanted to capture a "brain bug" and learn about species' tactics in order to better eradicate them from their numerous inhabited planets. If they nuked it, that would work, but then they would have to nuke all the other planets too and stop the bugs from getting to another planet and then breeding and going to another planet and so on. That is a lot of planets and a lot of nukes. It isn't some Ender's Game where you have basically all the "brain bug's" on one planet. The book was so better and different, sci-fi book fans would really like it i am sure, and any reader for that matter. unless you absolutely loathe sci-fi... if that's the case... why are you reading this still?

they are the same to show consistency... i.e. that it's not made up.

It sounds sort of like those wierdo's who nail their knobs to planks Yeah,then they fight wars over whether it's a metaphor for the flesh of christ or it becomes his flesh through divine grace. Seems a bit silly to me but whatever... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> John 6:25-70, Matthew 26:26, Mark 14:22 Judge for yourself what you think He is saying... figurative or not?

so you are saying, that the whole passage is made up? or if it is twisted, that would've been the most boring story if it wasn't twisted. did you even read the passages? did you see the context that the word "virgin" was used in? did you see that the matthew passage doesn't even use the word "virgin"? i mean, you might as well reject the whole Bible if we are going to not work with pre-conceived notions. we have to assume some of the answers here. it's a faith-assertion.

... i think i might do that but Mary was still a virgin, since there are two passages in in different books of the Bible that talk about it and all the context points to her being a virgin. (Luke 1:26-37, Matthew 1:18-19)

and you are too by saying that he was drugged, that he existed, and that they didn't break his bones so you are basically saying that a roman spear can't penetrate and that as a weapon it is the most useless thing anyone has ever made since it won't even hurt the guy in battle, but just annoy him into a state of angry-berserker? i would too, but i was just joking anyway. i meant like, a random person being dug up and having somebody go all science on them. the "all science" part sounds so impersonal, and it made me laugh.

"Was I?" yes i haven't had wine vinegar ever (which is what was on the sponge), so i don't know how effective it's duping properties are. John 19:31-35 "Now it was the day of Preparation, and the next day was to be a special Sabbath. Because the Jews did not want the bodies left on the crosses during the Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down. The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and then those of the other. But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus' side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water. The man who saw it has given testimony, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe." So if Jesus had a spear driven through his side, he couldn't live even if they had drugged him up well. and i hope nobody goes "all science" on anybody's bones. that's just disturbing... "hey, i have a deceased relative at the cemetary. lets dig them up and go all science on 'em"

Never cry wolf
it is so far off from euthanasia. you know what euthanasia is right? "Bringing about a gentle death in the case of an incurable or painful disease." #1 how is shoot-to-kill gentle? #2 the man was not killed because he was mentally ill. the marshals were not Hitlers, they killed the man because they believed he was a terrorist, and they had no idea until afterward that he was mentally ill

well, that is what the site did basically, it made Siddhartha into a character of Biblical proportions. Like, one of the times it said, "He traveled all over India and preached his doctrine and gospel. He became a saviour, deliverer and redeemer. " and i was wondering, what is he redeeming people for? they never needed to be redeemed. like, Jesus redeems His believers to God, since He is the propitiation for our sins, but i don't see how Sid could redeem people... so in that, the site did kind of pretend that Buddha was Jesus. (i know you were joking about Jesus as Buddhist, but i used the opportunity to write a different response)
