  1. In america we have our own Pim Fortuyn, his name was George Wallace, and I most certainly wouldn't vote for him as the best american ever. Whos doing this vote again, the Fox News Network or what? The greatest american was either Bill Hicks or Franklin Roosevelt or Martin Luther King Jr.
  2. Ya whats funny is our criminal "justice" system let him choose when he wanted to go to jail
  3. My last guardian/jedi master build I ended up with like 26 strength, 22 dex, 18 constitution, 16 intelligence, 36 wisdom, 19 charisma, this is a level 15/12 character with several upgrades, and it all seems needlessly powerful, no one in all of the starwars universe could hope to touble this juggarnaut
  4. L.A. Lakers under Jerry West = best front office in basketball Timberwolves under Kevin McKale = grossly incompetent the whole Joe Smith thing, letting Chauncy Billups and Bobby Jackson go without getting anything for them.
  5. Oh I won't say that, I got another simpleton's response so I'm doing a pretty good job
  6. Its strange to see a game like this to be developed for PS/2, it actually looks interesting
  7. I was just trying to give someone something to whine about, enjoy, maybe you all could have a good cry and discuss how stuff makes you feel vunerable
  8. Thats right, unless you're talking about the *True* Sith lords
  9. Well I hate watching shaq "play" ie dribble dribble slam shoulder in chest of other player, shoot the ball 1 1/2 feet from goal, rebound, dunk it. But I'd take Shaq in his prime over Tim Duncan anyday. I'd take Kevin Garnet over both of them, especially since he's the only one of them to actually reduce his salary so his team can sign other player. Give Amari Stoudmire another year and he'll be better then Timmy too
  10. That's an oxymoron. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Too true, its more like name the least worse
  11. We might disagree a bit, but not only are you right, you're pretty damn funny The only way I could see bringing in Revan into the whole deal is if you where asked once again what he did in the first game and then he might be your teacher or something, but thats a little too much mucky muck for me and hopefully anyone with good taste
  12. Craftsman, your "authoritative" stance on this borders on simple buffoonery, and until I see a Obsidian tag by your name you're just talking out of your ass
  13. As much as I would like to blindly accept this at face value, somehow it just doesn't seem right, maybe its the JediBaby line.
  14. Where as I won't deny Tim Duncan is a really good player, I'm not really sure if he has taken the title "best powerforward ever" from Karl Malone, he has definitely taken the "most phantom calls" from him, but atleast he doesn't "flop at first contact". Sometimes you can't even go up for a rebound against this guy with out being called for a foul, Kobe's definitely in the arguement too. I see how the NBA wants to reward a player who has gone 4yrs. in college and is a solid citizen and all, but I live in austin and see San Antonio games all the time, and often the officiating is ridiculious. Where as you shouldn't say a player is anything less for getting favorable calles, you can say hes alittle slow footed really a center, which would move him drastically down the the list of best players at his position. I'll alway remember when he got his chance to tie the game against the Lakers and Shaq easily and cleanly blocked his shot twice in a row, but you never see that highlight anymore
  15. Its somewhat impossible to hate those guys after reading the interview, but I still say do a better job next time, no matter what the game
  16. Well never know what anything would be like in the Marxist worker's eutopia, because it never has existed. The clostest thing was briefly in Spain before Franco got his facist backing, but in reality that situation more presented anarchy in a favorable light. One of the best books I've ever read was Homage to Catalonia by George Orwell really gives a very vivid and as far as I can tell an accurate account of this brief time in human history
  17. I can somewhat understand the idea of the "lack of competition" arguement against communism, but calling it evil?
  18. Speaking of adaptations of comics and Frank Miller I'd really like to see something done with his comic 300. A movie? A game? I don't really see how a game would work, but that is truely a favorite of mine
  19. Well actually T.O. gives alot to charity, but most especially to Alzheimer's Association of which he has several benefits a year and in 2003 he even addressed congress for more funding. And about his contract, actually he filed for free agency a week before he was suppose to, the 49ers then lied about what happen, or atleast streatched the truth a bit, then they simply could have gotten something for nothing if they had traded T.O. to the Eagles, but in a last ditch effort to "screw" him they traded him to the Ravens. It might have worked had there not been telephone records of the fax going through, and thus when they met infront of an arbitrator instead both the 49ers and Raven getting nothing they pleaded for the Eagles to give up a 5th round pick and one of there 7 DE who they probaly would have cut anyway. Gene Upshaw, a former player and president of the Players Association fully believed in T.O. case and I guess you might want to insult him next.
  20. con/jedi masters get +wis
  21. I'm not putting any labels on anyone. The only thing that I can kind of agree with you is the Jeff Garcia thing, but he just answered a question that he shouldn't have and then admittily much later, apologized about it, but I don't see you inditing the playboy reporter who ask the question. I'd bet you don't even know his name. And as for Deon Sanders (a man who believe god saved him when his car went over a cliff) he's probaly mad that he didn't think of the whole sharpie thing first. And I've heard all those athletes you mention talk about how they would like to thank god for giving them the talent to such and such. My favorite pro athlete is Hakeem Olajuwon, a model for professionalism and virtue. The man at one time wouldn't sign a major shoe contract because he wanted the less fortunant to be able to afford them, how much does Michael Vick's shoes cost again? Never did I hear him talk about how great he was and he suffered for it, someone who is atleast the second greatest center of alltime and the best defensive player ever, never gets mentioned when they talk about the alltime greatest. So when an athlete doesn't follow suit I don't blame them
  22. Sorry, but before you attribute an author's name to a book, make sure that you have the right author. Lewis Carroll wrote Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. Clive Staples Lewis wrote "The Chronicles of Narnia", The Screwtape Letters, and other works. The first took pictures of naked preteen girls, the latter was a highly respected author and professor. Biiiiiggg difference. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> For some reason as of late I seem to be making alot of mistakes like that lately, maybe remembering the terror the Jabberwokkie visited upon me as a child was too much. As the actual statement I stole it from an article in Harpers where rent a center lost a class action law suit for making managers take this absurd test, I believe the article was called Inquire Within. As for my other quetsions they're fairly obvious enough that my 6 yr old niece could infer them after watching a half hour of Bill O'Riley and his constant references to "bomb throwers"
  23. Ya there should be more right wingish questions like, "Do you think rich people should be exempt from taxes, because they spend more money then everyone else and really drive the economy." "Do you think that pro-lifers should be able to kill abortion clinic doctors?" "Shouldn't christianity be shoved down everyones throat in evrything thats state or nationally funded?" "If you president went to war over a certain pretense say WMD and then it came out that they had lied to you about there existance, would you still follow him blindly?" "Since PBS or NPR can't really be manipulated by individual corporate means, or even faith based organizations, do we really have any use for them?" "Should people who like Alice in Wonderland by C.S. Lewis be killed?" "Wasn't blacklisting really a good idea?"
  24. Notice I didn't say everyone, or even a majority, but the truth is there would be less outrage if the sketch had been done as originally intended, with John Madden instead of T.O.
