Yeah, Wil Wheaton's blog is pretty good, I've read it a time or two. I'd like to vote for the holodeck as least favorite character -- it was a really awesome idea, but did any of you see the Voyager holodeck episodes with Tom Paris as Captain Universe or whatever? Terrible. The holodeck was a toy that the writers were too indulgent with. Even in "First Contact," the best of the TNG movies, we have to endure a 40's gangster holodeck scene,

Interestingly enough, this article reminds me of a conversation I had just the other day. A friend of mine, an older black minister, was talking about immigration and the need for more secure borders. This gentleman is no Bush supporter by any means, but he was all about getting the illegals out of here. His view? That there are two groups of people in this country who are above and beyond and scrutiny for why they are here: Native Ameri

If you want to call that truth, fine, but to the rest of us it looks like Dem propaganda. Yeah, dude, I'm going to have to agree with this one. Furthurmore, to say that any situation is as simple as you make it is a smack in the face of every progressive who spent the entire 2004 election trying to make people see that there are shades

Reply to Should the west nuke Iran 'til it glows? in Politics JoeUser Forums

Any future wars need to be fought in such a way that the dying doesn't stop until the people themselves surrender, and there should be no occupation, no government building. I've long said that the USA doesn't have the stomach for empire-building. Take an example from the most successful empire in hist

yeah, wasn't DeLay an Orkin man before getting into politics? both of them, DeLay and McKinney disgust me, not as a matter of left or right but just on the terms of basic human decency.

Reply to Cynthia McKinney, RACIST EXTRAORDINAIRE! in US Domestic JoeUser Forums

Hmm, I despise Tom DeLay, but characterising him as a "rich white boy" really isn't accurate at all. I was under the impression that DeLay came from rather moderate means and that other than his salary (and perks) didn't have a lot of extra cash. Now, I'm not saying the man is going to go hungry or anything, but he isn't from a well-to-do family like Bush or Kerry. Hell, now you done gone and made me defend Tom DeLay, Congresswoman McKinne

Gene, I'm sympathetic to your general cause, but dude, nobody plays the one-note song as well as you. You don't have a shred of credibility. As much as my own credibility is full of holes around here, you somehow still manage to beat me. I don't know whether to be sad or impressed. I've urged you before, and I'll do it again: write about diverse subjects.

Anyone see Galaxy Quest? They got the whole trek phenomenon nailed there, I think. I rented it and then ended up buying it. Tony Shaloub and Alan Rickman are a riot in it. I saw that, and I was prepared to completely hate it (not being a Tim Allen fan in the least), but I laughed my tail off all the way

Baigent isn't much to take seriously, "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" was an amusing read and that was about it. He's been trying to get a bit of Dan Brown's spotlight ever since that awful "Da Vinci Code" book got so popular. To me, the interesting thing is that many people of various faiths are interested in this sort of thing, almost as if they suspect that the scriptures that they've been given aren't quite complete. Which, of course, they aren

Reply to Worst Star Trek Character in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

Probably one of the best Star Trek movies. Yeah, "Undiscovered Country" was probably my favorite one, although I liked the one with the whales, too (Chekov talking about "nuclear wessels" cracks me up). Christopher Plummer was much more convincing as a Klingon menace than Christopher Lloyd. I really love "Wrath of Khan," too (of co

Let's see...Neelix from "Voyager" always bothered the heck out of me...Picard's clone from "Insurrection" was pitiful...Wesley Crusher was pretty bad...Worf's son, Alexander...Troi's mother...and Q has to be my least favorite of all of them. My favorite characters are the original cast (especially Dr. McCoy), Riker, Chakotay, and Christopher Plummer from "The Undiscovered Country." Chang: "I am constant as the northern star!'

Reply to Can Republicans Name a Replacement for Tom Delay? in Politics JoeUser Forums

find a replacement for DeLay? you mean find a Republican who is not only an insincere Christian, but also a mean-spirited criminal, too? somehow, I don't think it's going to be that hard to find another Republican with those qualifications, as that describes about 98% of all Republicans in office today.

Reply to Why Won't Liberals Do Business With the "Religion of Peace"? in Politics JoeUser Forums

Your article implies that Islam isn't a religion of peace. Fair enough. Is there a religion of peace, then? Is is Christianity? Because, if we're talking about a choice here, then I say, a plague on both your houses. Us radicals don't want your Jesus any more than we want the Qu'ran. They're both religions of hate parading as religions of peace. Christians are no better than Muslims, you're all the flawed, idiot children of silly superstitions.<

You want we should just read to them out of a government approved book, Mod? One written by you and your gang of reactionaries? That's not the way teaching works, and maybe if you had paid a bit more attention in school, you might have noticed it. But as for your article's title question: you shoot them. And you should do it yourself, thereby ridding the world of two crazies when they commit you. It's for the kids! It's for the country!
