  1. For the first time in awhile I posted a new topicoutside WoT, and for the first time in awhile, I did NOT get the screen. fyi edit: I guess I should say it was teh first time in awhile I posted a new topic outside of Obsidian General
  2. http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/09/02/news_6132546.html that would be interesting
  3. No sleep to all requests are done! Would Santa sleep on X-mas eve if the elves were running behind?! Hell no, he'd break out his reindeer whip!
  4. As I always say, we're taking you all with us
  5. If you say so. On the other hand, we can actually drive cars. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> zing!
  6. No one said that. Katrina is responsible. but two facts remain: 1. Work on the levees was slowed by underfunding (about 33% of what was requested) Ap: This underfunding goes back to Carter. The attempted budgets cuts have been drastic in recent years tho If you think that Iraq did not take some type of toll on the annual budget, hence it left less money for funding these type of projects, thats just flat-our ridiculous. 2. The National Guard, which as you must know has been heavily used in Iraq, which of course means there is less for this type of thing. Boston Globe: Boston Globe: Now, you can argue for the war and against it all you want, hindsight is 20/20, but this situation IS worse because of the wars in Iraq and Afganistan.
  7. Folks, if you only knew the years of rehabilitation it took to get him to this point, you would be as teary eyed as I am right now. So proud. So so proud.
  8. Does this mean hermaphrodites are like gods walking among us?
  9. I was watching CNN and they were interviewing a doctor from one of the 3 main hospitals in downtown NO. His hospital was just evacuated by helicopter and he was speaking about the conditions in the other two hospitals. He said that the patients, doctors, and nurses were now all living off IV's due to the complete lack of food and water.
  10. I hate to say it, but I doubt this happens in Chicago or New York.
  11. Get this: "There's so much violence going on even the (police) SWAT team has locked themselves in their building." - an australian tourist But this is maybe more shocking: Budget cuts delayed New Orleans flood control work <_<
  12. I don't get it, what do the numbers "really mean"? 1. I LOVE the pandoras box idea. 2. Was Locke really scared in the finally? He wanted Jack to release him. 3. Isn't that the big dipper in the picture?
  13. While I think this event was to big to really be prepared for, it was forseen as a real threat for quite some time. The blame for this lack of response falls on Bush and many past presidents and trickles down from there, imo. "Unacceptable" is the only word I can think of. The scare part is the mayor is basically like "O ****!" and no one is stepping up to say "No, it's not that bad, we have the situation under control". That tells me how bad it really is, if this administration can't hide it or making a creative talking point to side step it, you know New Orleans is in a world of ****. Literally.
  14. It's a social experiment. Soon Bush will have a helicopter with a giant magnifing glass attached fly around burning people to a crisp.
  15. Kumquato the Magnificent conducts the London Symphony backwardslows, one night only! They will be playing Eine Kleine Nacht by Mozart (a zipped midi for those unfamilar with the piece that will be played LINK) ::Cue music:: ::bows:: ELDAR EDIT: can you see it?
  16. I'd call minutemen the original guerrillas, not so much terrorists. They used surprise/ambush for terror/fear, but generally stop there.
  17. I'm certain, just in case it's in question, that your post DOES go through when you get the screen. Everytime for me, at least.
  18. same way we got from democratic issues to touching young boys..... .....Eldar turned his back for like five minutes.
  19. The 5th element was soooooo damn bad, that the unexplained giant evil ball of fire that was going to destroy the universe...ya, it had about 57 seconds of screen time.
  20. Bah! That never stopped the Greeks from getting their bum fun! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He's got a point Eldar. What is with you and not touching young men? Or do you just hate gays?
  21. I'd say "the 5th element" was worse
  22. The scandinavian ones have avoided it this far. Channels that go by the same sensationalism formula as Fox and CNN are not news-channels, they're entertainment. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Your saying they don't have any noticeable political bias or even say a anti-american or anti-iraq war bias?
