I assume I wasn't the only who, upon watching the opening scene, thought of Arnold saying "Hasta la vista, baby" before shooting the liquid nitrogen frozen T-1000 into thousands of pieces. I agree, this episode was kind of weak IMO. Actually, all the episodes so far have seemed forgettable. I agree with the villain aspect, although I think the Covenant would be a bad way to go. I miss season 1. Sloane as the enemy can't be topped

None of this actually matters. Whether this man is correct or not is of no consequence. The Irrational Left is just as disinterested in science as the Religious Right, and for pretty much the same reasons: Science often disproves their respective faiths. For the Religious Right, the earth wasn't made in 7 days; for the Irrational Left, not everybody and everything is equal ("the same"), neither social constructs nor social conditioning are necessa

Good map, it's the way I've thought of NA since visiting some of the soutern states and most of the northern states too. It's like Canada and most Northern States are pretty damn close in disposition (even between republicans and democrats).... The dichotomy (if you want to call it that) exists between

I have a problem with that map. Kerry only won a handful of counties in my state of Illinois. Hypothetically speaking, if the dems want seccession, then only take that which you've won. http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pages/results/states/IL/P/00/map.html

From Timbuktu to Tijuana, you know all about world culture and politics. You've seen it all, and what you haven't seen, you watched on one of the "smart people channels."

Eastern Diamondback, thanks for the information. I have another 3 1/2 hours before I get to see it. Grrr. I gotta get DISH Network or something.... Haha!

I saw him in a restaurant and he looked so bad I gave him a hug and kissed his cheek. My bf at the time refused to kiss me afterwards, saying that I "could have got it from him".

I just saw it. Ken Jennings's run is no more. The audience sounded surprised when they saw Jennings's response in Final Jeopardy. His competitor led by one dollar after her answer, I mean question, and prior to his. So when his incorrect question, was revealed, there were audible gasps from the audience.

1. These aren't all instances of bombing. Some are coups, some are wars, some are bombings, and some are instances of aiding one particular party in a war over another. Several of these actions were undertaken for reason such as removing a Cuban orchestrated communist dictatorship, retaliating against Qaddafi for terrorist actions, and the list goes on. 2. There's no reference to South Korea or Taiwan. 3. I wouldn't be surprised to fi

LW, I forgot to give you my opinion on David Horowitz's book Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left . I'll say it was a quick read. I finished it in two days. He also likes to use big words occasionally, so that can throw off the pace of reading if a particular word is unfamiliar. Horowitz indicts many people in his book. Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, the defense attorneys in the first WTC bombing trial, and Communists in the West in general for their past s

Normally I agree with you, iamheather, but I can vividly recall a little nature outing to Union County, IL about 10 years ago where passiveness would have been better. My friends and I were there to look for different various species of trees and animals. One of my friends got mud all over his hands and arms, so he found a small pool of water to rinse them off. About four feet to his left was a fairly large cottonmouth , obviously very agitated by t

Thoughts on Iraq War Multimedia in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I've seen most of the videos on the internet that have come out of Iraq. I've seen every beheading video, the most horrific (and that's saying a lot) being that of the Nepalese man who I could see and hear breathing with half of his neck chopped off. The video of Paul Johnson was almost as sickening. Watching a couple of numbnuts decapitating a man, and then nonchalan

Affirmative action came about because of the desire to fix the legacy of slavery against black Americans, since they were brought in chains. If affirmative action is to exist at all (I don't support it) it should be for Afro-Americans and only them. Mexicans and other foreigners who don't assimilate ARE hurting this country. America isn't a great nation simply because it occupies the land between Canada and Mexico, the Atlantic and the Pac

In Chicago when I was growing up, the handful of Puerto Ricans I knew were always praying for the day the Mexicans would disappear from this country. They hated Mexicans.

Wouldn't we all be inbred if creationism was the case? You know I got in trouble in high school for saying just such a thing.

Homey? It's a slang term for "homeboy" which itself is a slang term for "hometown boy." It supposedly originated in urban America during WWII. I don't know if it was first used among blacks or whites.
