  1. I think it was the dark side. There was the whole bit about Vader losing his mechanical hand and Luke getting one. I think this was Luke 'becoming his father' and giving into the dard side.
  2. Where did you see this ad? (Not that I'm doubting you, just wondering)
  3. I don't think it's all that bad. Except for the "War!", I like it. And I haven't read the screenplay, so now I have a twing of excitment (the kidnapping bit, amoung other things). That the other thing I noticed, it does seem awful short.
  4. They've been crap for the past several years. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, really, the last four or five years they commerials have really fallen off. Not even the beer commerials are funny any more.
  5. You should make that your sig <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, really. I agree.
  6. Good point.
  7. Another question - What is a "cyberpunk"?
  8. I don't really like sci-fi TV shows, but I saw Battlestar Galactica the other day, and it is well written and entertaining. The show is somewhat realistic (if you understand what I mean) and the characters act ...... human-like. Like in the first episode when the President made the mistake to destroy that ship (the Olympic Carrier, I believe). Or the terrorist that pushed for free election. Great writing. (although I don't quite understand the women that only the scientist can see)
  9. Never have liked the Pats since the days of Bledsoe, but I think they will win.
  10. Yeah, I'd really like to see this one on PC.
  11. I am well aware of what Lincoln did, including such "horrible things" such as suspending Habius Corpus (sp?). It was a time of war, I don't blame him. But if you want to complain about states rights, blame it on Chief Justice Marshall. The reason I chose Lincoln is because he filled "The American Dream". A poor boy from Kentucky, he taught himself to be a lawyer. Upon becoming a politician, he stood on his moral, not giving in to political pressure (for the most part - and yes, I know Lincoln didn't really like the blacks and wanted to send them back to Africa).
  12. Some strategy games make it without scripted stories. *COUGH Rome COUGH*
  13. Which is why we don't have a true capitalist society. I disagree.
  14. Presidents: Lincoln - rags to great President Regan - did well with Soviets and I had to have one modern guy Indurstrialists: Andrew Carnagie John D. Rockefeller - both were smart and made themselves; plus Carnagie gave all those libraries Inventor: Thomas Edison - I'm typeing in a room with a light on; plus the other hundreds of thing he invented I wanted to nominate people who weren't extremely obvious like Washington and Jefferson (hey, Lincoln is just too good not to pick).
  15. The reason why I think Capitalism is so great is that you have the most freedom to make something of yourself. That isn't to say you can't improve your financial situation in the more Socialized countries, but in America the responsiblity is placed more on you as you get less help from the Government. Not so much of "the Government is here to take care of you" philosophy. More of "you are what you make yourself" thought. And we believe that if you make yourself wealthy, you should keep it - not be obligated to give it to someone who hasn't made it like you have. Now that's not say that some just have bad luck and can't get ahead. We do have programs to help those who are truely "less fortunate". And some are just born rich. But we don't penalize them for it.
  16. Some things shouldn't be joked about. You live and learn. So you made a mistake. Now you know better.
  17. Yeah, you only hear about the Moss' and the Owen's of the world, never the Manning's or the Vick's. But people don't turn on thier TV to see how much charity their favorite star is doing. So be it.
  18. Yeah, you can lead most people down any political path if you ask the questions right. And most couldn't really tell you what a communist or an anarchist is.
  19. Apparently, we've found the person who wrote the questions for the survey in question. He's even come here to share some new questions he intends to put into the next survey. I'm sure we'll get an equally legitimate outcome for that survey as well. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
  20. My fault. You wrote it correctly, I just read it wrong.
  21. Sounds like there's more KotOR in the horizon <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There is no doubt in my mind we will see KOTOR III or some spin-off. KOTOR has been very popular and (the real reason) has made a boat load of money. Edit: Wheather the sequel is made by Obsidian or not, I cannot speculate. I don't know who will do it, but it will be done.
  22. Yeah, really. There is a reason that most people are getting results saying they're liberals, and it isn't because they all are liberals.
