That's right, go ahead and say it (so long as you do not violate forum rules of course). Why let that angst build up?

2. Natalie Portman isn't that hot.

1. Sandra Bernhard is very sexy(sexiness is in the attitude)
2. Eddie Van Halen is a boring guitar player( Alex Lifeson of RUSH can play better and is far more interesting)
3. Sampling in rap, as long as it's paid for, is truly creative in that most of <b>YOU</b> can't take some old forgotten song hook, make new music like the rappers, and make tons of dough. Even with all that you bitch about it anyway....turn the dial! :lol: :P
4. big screen tvs SUUUUUUCK.
5. Microsoft/PCs have done more to bring the "average joe" into computing than Apple(s).
6. Sharon Stone and Julia Roberts are both not that pretty and are boring actresses
7. Hugh Grant's blowJ0B arrest was strangely close to the opening of his new movie...a movie that no one would've gone to see had he not been in the headlines. PUBLICITY STUNT
8. Elizabeth Hurley owes her sudden rise in popularity to Hugh's arrest. Who even heard of this big nose hosebag before Hugh got pinched?
9. Ace Ventura woulda been a bomb if it hadn't been released right after the NORTHRIDGE QUAKE...people needed a "getaway movie" to get their minds off of the disaster.

4. Lobster: what's the big deal? I'll take steak or ribs over it any day.
5. The Beatles' music hasn't aged that well - I forced myself to listen to that greatest hits deal (was it called "1"?) and, well...
6. "Islam is peace"? Am I a bigot if I don't blindly accept that?
7. Super Bowl, Schmuper Bowl. I couldn't care less about football (and I'm a 23-year-old guy!).
8. I like Ann Coulter. I mean, a lot. I'd love to marry her.
9. Paying drug addicts $200 to get themselves sterilized? Great idea.

4) Sports are wasted on me unless I'm holding a video game controller and swearing at Tiger Woods for cheating me out of a skin and the money I deserved to win. If bandwidth is ever an issue I know what I'll vote off the site first.

I strongly support the death penalty and think it should be more severe. Putting a hard-core criminal to death by lethal injection is too humane. If you murder someone, you deserve to die painfully.
Marijuana should be decriminalized for use in the privacy of your home. It is no worse than alcohol, police have more serious things to worry about, and the tax money it could raise would be very beneficial to our economy.

This one will probably get me some heated responsed.. but.. Orgainzed religion should be done away with. Why can't people just worship alone/with their familes in the privacy of their own home?

- The death penalty sould be abolished. How can we call ourselves a civilized society when we deal with bad people by killing them, when we have the power to otherwise control them? If the crime is severe enough, then life imprisonment with absolutely no chance of parole, ever, should be sufficient. (Personally, I'd rather die than spend a long life in prison, so life imprisonment would be a more severe penalty in my mind.) Besides, it actually costs more for the government to deal with the mandatory appeals in a death penalty case than it does to house a prisoner.
- The United States should listen to, and carefully consider, the opinions of other countries when deciding foreign policy, and then make a determination based on what is in the best interests of the United States - which includes, IMO, the US' role as a world leader. What other people think about us does matter, although it can't be the most important determining factor.
- People bust on the French too much. They were our first ally and were indispensible in our efforts to form a new nation. You can disagree with their point of view while admiring their courage for truthfully expressing themselves.
- DVD cover art doesn't matter much, and shouldn't even be a consideration when deciding what DVD to buy.
- Although I've been pro-choice most of my life, I've never really examined why. I've just accepted it because others around me believed it. As I think about the issue more, I'm starting to believe that we shouldn't make a determination one way or the other (re: whether it's okay to abort a pregnancy) until we can determine, with scientific certainty, at what point a "human being" is created. In the meantime, maybe we ought to err on the side of protecting unborn children, with certain exceptions for medical reasons. I just don't know.
- Anyone who disagrees with me should go to Iraq to be a human shield. ;)

People who claim to be "animal lovers" and eat meat are nothing less than abject hypocrites.
The refusal to watch films with subtitles is idiotic to an alarming (albeit somewhat comical) degree.
The jingoism and xenophobia evident after 9/11 in the United States is truly frightening.
The studios that produce purported "comedies" should be sued for false advertising in most instances.
The Oklahoma City families are no less entitled to governmental benefits than the 9/11 families -- if there are funds to be distributed, it should be done fairly or not at all.
Not nearly all "art films" are pretentious -- some are actually attempting to convey some interesting concepts and perspectives. Moreover, many actually succeed in doing so.
Fellini is wildly overrated.
Those who subscribe to the "love it or leave it" philosophy are actually the opposite to the patriots that they represent themselves to be.
Compassion is still a virtue.
There is no such thing as a "bad" film if it is viewed from the proper perspective.
The death penalty should be abolished, outright and immediately.
"Western civilization" still strikes me as a good idea.

I think Julia Roberts is sexy. I like her smile and most of her movies, too, such as Notting Hill. If I have to watch a romance with the wife, that's usually my first pick. On that topic, I find Hugh Grant pretty funny and don't mind his movies.
I don't understand the fascination w/ The Rolling Stones, Radiohead, Bob Dylan, etc. (this could go on forever).
John Lennon was a complete ass.
I think Martin Scorsese is a good director, he is NOT "America's Greatest Living Director". And Taxi Driver was a terribly overrated stalker movie.
Woody Allen's overrated, too.
I am still in shock at how popular Requiem for a Dream is on this forum.
I love Braveheart, it is one of my favorite films. Mel Gibson is one of my favorite actors and he knows how to direct, too.
Prisons should be turned back into labor camps. Prison is a punishment, not a damn trip to the Holiday Inn. Prisoners should not be allowed to work out or watch cable. They are going to prison and should have to do hard labor and when they get out they should never want to go back because they will have to work their asses off. They don't have rights, they are in prison for crying out loud. If someone is getting the death penalty, get it over with. Give them one appeal and that's it. Quit wasting time and money and end their lives. If not, then just get rid of the damn thing and put their ass to work until the day they die.
I hate political parties. The Republicans and Democrats both suck. Every politician and candidate should have to be independent. Parties hamper the political process. It's about the issues that each candidate supports or doesn't support. People who vote according to party-line are ignorant and lazy.
Marijuana should be legalized. There will not be the mad rush to the weed bar like some believe. And the gov't could tax the hell out it - if people bitch about high dope taxes - make it illegal again.
I love going to the dentist - it is relaxing.
If you do not vote for the Democratic/Republican Presidential candidate, you are not wasting your vote, you are protesting the crap that is on the ballot.

Anyone that thinks that Pro athletes aren't role models to kids ('they are just athletes') are just kidding themselves.
Parents (and not schoolteachers) are primarily responsible for the education and everything else related to the raising of a child.

MY OPINIONS:
Braveheart is a good movie. Mel Gibson is hot.
Creed sucks. A lot.
Marijuana should be legalized. But stop comparing it to alcohol.
The death penalty should be abolished.
So should abortion. Next time, don't have sex.
I can eat a hamburger or some salmon and still love dogs.
The Simpsons suck.
Christina Aguilera may be better off doing porn but she does have a pretty voice.
Cold pizza is nasty.
Bring it On was a good movie. Kirsten Dunst sucks though.
Blair Witch was a good movie too, but it scared the crap out of me.
Religion, drug + death penalty threads are fun, but just leave out the personal attacks.

-Joe Millionare is ugly!!!!
-Radiohead, Oasis, Vines, Stripes, etc. all suck or are way overrated.
-Linkin Park is good!!!!! :)
-Strippers and porn stars aren't actually people, hence we don't have to treat them as such
-If you are caught passing a school bus or almost getting in an accident with one, any citizen who witnesses it should be allowed to restrain you with "any necessary force" until the authorities arrive
-Killing/raping/abusing kids should be punishable by public hanging
-we should be allowed to beat/harass/punch/choke/etc. sexual predators, even if un-provoked
-all drugs should be legal to do in privacy of one's own home. They should be taxed heavily, and if they overdose or anything else bad happens, medical insurance should not cover this and they should be forced to wait in the waiting room BEHIND people with bruises/broken bones who were there first. If these people die, then there will be less stupid people in this world
-18+ should be drinking age. if you can die for your country, you should be able to enjoy an alcoholic beverage

- I deal with idiots everyday. So does everybody else I talk to. Morons are everywhere. As Jeff Foxworthy once said, these people should be made to wear a sign. I honestly believe that. My stress level would go down 100% if I could avoid talking to somebody if they would simply wear a sign. My job would be so much more enjoyable because, hey, who would hire an idiot? The problem is, I'm afraid the entire world population would have to wear signs.
- Just admit it, we dont' know everything and don't know all the answers. Just because outerspace is unexplored doesn't mean aliens exist (and vice versa). ESP may actually be real. When somebody says to you, "is God real?" you should answer "I don't know," "I don't know, but I believe he does" or "I don't know, but I doubt it." Believing in something--anything--absolutely and without proof is not "faith," it an uninformed decision. Note: it's ok to believe in God, aliens, ESP, etc, as long as you recognize that you're not basing this on fact.
- I hated school; I still do. I hate it with a passion. I always viewed it as a prison: if I'm good and put in my time, I'll eventually get out and be able to move on with my life. I always did my homework as soon as I got home from school just so I could be done with it. As high school graduation came near, I made it known that I wasn't going to college. Why? I hate school. I love learning, though. (Great contrast, eh?) :) But I want to do it at my own speed, and of subjects of my choice. What puzzles me is that lots of people don't like to learn. I simply don't understand it.
- As much as I love my wife, if we ever get divorced or she dies or anything (and I hope that never happens), I will never get married again. It's simply not worth the effort. In fact, I'll probably never date again, either.

The knee-jerk dismissal of the mention of Bill Clinton's presidency (i.e., roll eyes smilies, "It's always about Clinton," "Clinton got a hummer") when the example has been used to make a warranted comparison or point is just as much of an obnoxious cop-out as bringing his actions up only to shield criticism of the Republican party.
Punctuation serves an important purpose in making a statement. Periods, question marks, commas, etc. are not "them uppity buttons" on the keyboard.
Okay, I get it. The writing on The Simpsons has taken a nose dive in past years. I don't care. It is still appointment TV.
I am still relatively on the fence regarding the death penalty. However, I certainly believe that it must be used, at the very least, in cases of thread-crapping.
Let's be honest here. There are three Star Wars movies. They are not called Episode IV, V, and VI. They are called "Star Wars", The Empire Strikes Back," and "Return of the Jedi." I have no obligation to justify my belief that without Han Solo and Chewbacca, there is no Star Wars movie. And no, I do not need to read such-and-such book to understand the so called "Expanded Universe." I don't care. Nothing happened with Luke, Han, and Leia after the final film. The credits rolled...it's over.
While I'm at it, Attack of the Clones was crap. It was a terrible movie in and of itself, and it was a terrible faux addition to the line-up. It was not "as good as Empire" or "better than Return of the Jedi." It was marginally better than the POS first prequel. I've tried to force myself to believe otherwise, but I cannot.
I will continue to get my coffee at gas stations instead of coffee houses. I will continue to enjoy it.
The only edible onions are fried or perhaps grilled.
If a bee is near me, I will flail my arms and do the old bob-and-weave. That is not a statement of one's lack of manhood. Their primal defense is to sting. Ours is to not get stung.
The best "oh bfrank" smilie is actually: http://w3.gorge.net/kvrdave/ohbfrank2.gif. And just because the other was chosen as an addition to the board, none are obligated to use it excessively. Those who do must be punished harshly.
Beer doesn't really taste good. If one "aquires the taste," one has actually only learned to withstand the flavor in order to obtain the spoils of drunkeness.
There are all too many prolific posters on this forum who should learn the art of lurking.
Make your point intelligently if possible. As an example, there are those of us who read political threads, and we have a pretty good idea of whether or not you don't like George W. Bush. Therefore, by inserting your "Bush is a warmonger," or "Bush is a moron" statements with no surrounding points to be made immediately drops the intelligence level of the thread approximately three-fold. The same holds true for "liberals," "conservatives," Bill Clinton, etc.
No purpose is served by telling me why I shouldn't like a certain food. Yeah, people spit into food at fast food places. Yeah, certain meals are not made from the highest quality animal parts. If you are concerned with my health, don't be. If I kick off tomorrow, I'm not expecting flowers. If your true purpose is to turn people away from meat-products, then say so. It is intellectually dishonest to disguise your true agenda. And it makes you an a-hole. If you don't want people killing milk cows, say so. Don't tell me that milk causes health problems in order to try to affect the killing of those cows. You don't care if I grow a goiter the size of Topeka, you just want Elsie to die of old-age.

- Episodes of Star Trek should be released solely on "2-fer" discs and not as over-priced season box sets. ;)
- The Bible is metaphor, not history.
- All things paranormal are a hoax. There's no such thing as the supernatural. There's no such thing as an after-life. And anyone who claims to have spoken to "God" is a bald-faced liar and not to be trusted.
- That being said, condiments are of the devil. ;)
- Being a homosexual is not something one "chooses." Being homophobic, on the other hand, is something a person makes a conscious choice to do.
- Those who claim they got to where they are through "hard work and perseverance" wouldn't know what "hard work and perseverance" was if it came up, bit them on the ass and jostled the silver spoon out of their mouths.
- A "ripped," "six-pack" abdomen is physically repulsive. In fact, men don't become sexually attractive until they reach at least 230 lbs. (but experience a sharp decline on the sexually appealing meter after 320 lbs.).
- Back hair gives me the hot. Body-waxing should be outlawed as a "sin against nature."
- Guns are for killing - plain and simple - not "sport."
- The band Rush isn't "over-rated," they're just unimportant and inconsequential in the grand scheme of all things related to rock music. Plus, Geddy Lee really needs to quit huffing the helium.
- Ditto for Pink Floyd. (Except for the part about the helium. Instead, David Gilmour needs to lay off the muffins.)
- Rap is not music.
- Any sport organized into a "national league" is intrinsically dull.
- Men only drink beer because to not drink beer would be considered somehow "unmanly," even though 90% of commercially produced beers taste like ass.
- Gay men not only have zero fashion sense, but they also have no skills with interior decorating and have no idea how to dance.
- Marijuana will be decriminalized within my lifetime. It's time.
- Steven Soderburgh and Ron Howard couldn't direct their way out of a paper bag.
- Titties. Who needs 'em?

The US may be the best place to live in the world. The large number of immigrants we get suggests that it is. But other places are pretty damn_good too.

At least some of these are popular, but..
I'd ban all immigration. We should mine the border and shoot to kill anyone trying to enter the country. I'd use U-boats to sink anyone trying enter the country illegally also. I'd fine employers 1000/day/illegal alien that they employed.
Pot should be legal.
I'd kick all those lazy loafers off welfare and disability.
I'd take away the per kid tax deduction/tax credit.
I'd invade ,conquer, and install friendly to the US governments in the following countries (and in no particular order): Iraq, Syria, Lybia, Yemen, Saudia Arabia, and France. I'm sure there is more I just can't think of right now. North Korea would be given to South Korea. Some Arab countries might go back to Turkey of the Turks will take them.
I'd encourage high school students to forget about college and attend a vo-tech school instead. And I'd make college more expensive and we have way too many people going to college.
I'd take away the mortgage tax deduction. I'd also take away the real estate capital gains exclusion amounts.
I'd do away with the automatic cost of living adjustments that the government gives out. And I'd redo the way the governmet calculates inflation to make it more accurate (to stop underreporting).
I'd reduce the power of the FCC to censor (essentially you'd be able to say Geroge Carlins 7 dirty words on primetime TV).
I'd make dentists financially responsible for their mistakes.
I think SUV's should have to meet all the emissions/gas mileage standards that cars have to.

People who ignore, dismiss or otherwise are not honest enough to answer questions in political threads.
People who think they are answering questions in political threads only to answer a peripheral issue or to reply with a justification of something else without answer a simple yes or no question.
The correct answer to a yes or no question would be:
Yes, because (promply defends opinion with facts, links, articles, statements)
or
No, because (promply defends opinion with facts, links, articles, statements)
The incorrect answer would be: Go ahead people. Defend the communist. That'll help your cause :rolleyes:

We're sorry that as Westerners we harbor some negative feelings about a religion that deserves some blame for the murder of thousands at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and Pennsylvania, not to mention the continuous murder of non-combatant civilians in internationally recognized Israeli sovreign territory. Ours is based on some real events while it appears to me that yours is based on the biases associated with some part of Islamic culture.

-I wish that the death penalty were used more often. To actually make it a deterrent, I would make the last stage of drug, product testing mandatory on death penalty convicts, until they died or requested death. I would also make it a miminum of a manslaughter charge to knowingly withhold evidence in a death penalty case. Police officers and prosecutors who go for the death penalty when they know the client is innocent should be in jail themselves.
-Vegetarians/vegans who try to say that humans shouldn't eat meat because they aren't designed to do so are idiots and should be forced to take some beginners biology classes. That being said, simply not wanting to eat meat or meat products is perfectly fine and restaurants should have at least one non soup non salad vegetarian dish.
-Cigarette and cigar smoking should be illegal. They stink and knowingly cause damage to the lungs of non smokers. No, a seperate section isn't good enough-I still smell your fetid odor. If you need a nicotine fix, switch to the gum, chewing tobacco or the patch.
-Pipes are ok. Yes, I know this is hipocritical, but their smell dosen't bother me. If your habit is going to kill me a little, I don't want to hate the smell.
-We will never stop sex before marriage. Nor should we try. Everyone should be legally required to use birth control until they are willing to petition a board of some sort that they are ready. Additionally, prostitution should be legal and regulated, and adultery should be illegal. This would eliminate unwanted pregnancy, greatly reduce the spread of STDs, and would hopefully curb some of the more stupid actions of those desperate to have sex.
-People who think in terms of never, impossible and always are what keep us from learning and discovering. Sadly shortsited. As unlikely as god, bigfoot or aliens are, to dismiss them as impossible is at best foolish. Especially in light of the number of times we've been proven wrong when we thought that we knew everything.
-People will always find some context to discriminate against others. There is no way to stop people from thinking that in terms of us vs them Everyone IS competing for the same resources, if people find a convienent handle to lump large groups of others together, they'll take it.
-Nevertheless, people should still do everything that they can to eliminate any prejudice that they can. We are animals, but we should aspire to improve our basest instincts.

You've said this much better than I did. K from MIB springs to mind: "1500 years ago, everybody "knew" that the earth was the center of the universe. 500 years ago, everybody "knew" that the earth was flat. And 15 minutes ago, you "knew" that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll "know" tomorrow."
It's true.

What a fun thread. :thumbsup:
-Spiderman was a terrible movie, I left the theatre feeling the same way I did leaving after watching Batman and Robin, "why did I do that to myself"
-Julie Roberts, not only isn't pretty, she looks like mr. ed.
-People should be able to do what they want to do with their own bodies, period. We do not need seatbelt laws, bans on drugs, have an abortion issue etc. People can do what they d@m well please to themself, as long as it doesn't interfere with my way of life.
-Cops need to spend 99% of their time on actual crimes, and less time, bothering me and other innocent drivers about my windows being tinted to dark, parking to far away from the curb, going 5 mph to fast etc. Aren't there actualy criminals out there, to keep you busy?!?
-Teachers DO get paid enough. Most have 2-3 months off a year have 8-3 hours, and a teacher's aid to grade their work & help them out. Sure you gotta put up with a lot of sh@t, but so do fast food workers, and you don't make a issue out of them getting paid squat.
-Banks and other goverment postions DO NOT need every pretend holiday off. Let's as a country come up with a set of holidays, that all businesses need to abide to, and follow. What's the point of going to work, when have the people you need to deal with, aren't working cause it's a holiday for their company..
-Kirsten Dunst is not pretty at all, either is Brittney Spear.
-NBA basic ball is unwatchable, YES even the playoffs.
-Athletes need to make an average american's salary. Example. Baseball is called "Americas Pasttime", let's pay 'em like it is. Don't know many making the kind of money they get for 1 season even.
-Suvs are dumb. Those trucks with the shorten bed are dumber.
-The music group Phish is terrible. Sounds like bands I heard playing in their garage in highschool.
-Jimmy Buffett is highly overrated.
-Dave Matthews is the soon to be Jimmy Buffett, in about 5 years.
I could go on, but that's enough.

I dislike people who don't say thank you after you hold the door for them. It's just rude.
I am not a racist. I think that all races are equally stupid and that all races have their fair share of sometimes true stereotypes. This does not make me a racist, it makes me a realist.
I don’t think respect is something that is granted with a high level college degree (i.e. PhD, MD, MBA, etc). Respect must be earned, and if I think a person does something wrong, I should be allowed to tell them that without them getting defensive about how they have a high level degree and therefore deserve my respect.
SUV’s are not evil. They are vehicles for transportation. I am a big guy and I can’t fit into a Suzuki X90. I need a big car. I don’t travel through the mountains in it. I drive it down the street, the same as the guy that drives a Honda Civic or a Ford Escort. Get used to it.
Reality TV sucks.
Windows isn’t as bad as everyone makes it out to be. You try writing an Operating System that can handle virtually any piece of hardware you plug in. Of course it’s gonna have problems, but no more than any other operating system of it’s scope.
Linux is HIGHLY overrated.
I don’t want to hear (or feel) your music in my car unless you are in the car with me.
Not eating meat because you don’t like the taste of meat is perfectly acceptable. Not eating meat because you think that the way that animals are killed is also perfectly acceptable, as it leaves more meat for me. Trying to convince yourself that by not eating meat, you will save even 1 cattle makes you delusional. Trying to convince me that I should not eat me makes you a self-imposing jerk.
Beer does taste good and is an acquired taste.
Very few bands are truly good. To qualify, you must a) write at least some of your own music, b) play an instrument well, c) be capable of singing a song at any time with a reasonably good voice, d) be conscious enough of your audience to know that you ARE potentially a role-model to them.
More people should be trained in the use of firearms and more people should carry them. To my admittedly limited knowledge, every country that has “right to carry” laws has seen a decrease in crime. This makes sense, as criminals aren’t nearly as likely to rob someone they think is packing heat.
All states should have a 10 cent bottle deposit system like Michigan’s. It should be structured in such a way that I could return bottles purchased in Alaska to a grocery store in Indiana and nobody would care.

We're sorry that as Westerners we harbor some negative feelings about a religion that deserves some blame for the murder of thousands at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and Pennsylvania, not to mention the continuous murder of non-combatant civilians in internationally recognized Israeli sovreign territory. Ours is based on some real events while it appears to me that yours is based on the biases associated with some part of Islamic culture.
Your beliefs are revealing to me and I suspect some others here.
And I don't like this holier-than-thou attitude that seems to portray Christianity is the end-all of religions and no Christian ever does anything bad. I don't like how people blame an entire religion due to the actions of a fanatic. I don't like how people try to hide their extreme bias (like bhk sometimes does) by cloaking it in fear of terrorism. I don't like that people think the only way to deal with terrorism is with more terrorism (aka the war on Iraq). That's just some of the stuff I don't like.

11. So, like, um...if homosexuality is caused by a single gene, shouldn't said gene weed itself out of the population real quick? Or was Darwin completely wrong?
12. Sticking with the subject: the word "homophobic" is the most ridiculous PC concoction in contemporary language. Just because someone doesn't toe the party line, you feel the need to diagnose him with a "phobia"? Please ditch the amateur psychoanalysis, save yourself a syllable, and use the term "anti-gay."
13. Agree with them or not, black conservatives (or libertarians) have got to be among the most courageous groups in America. It is an act of total conformity to be a Jesse Jackson; it is an act of strong-willed individualism to be a Clarence Thomas.
14. Sticking with the subject: the phrase "Uncle Tom" is the second most ridiculous PC concoction in contemporary language. Is anything more racist than the idea that blacks all need to think alike?
15. The Democratic Party's commitment to "diversity" is utterly meaningless until they quit the practice of running nothing but straight white males for the 2 most powerful offices in the land (Ferraro doesn't count; they knew they were gonna lose that election). How's about they practice a little in-house "affirmative action" and nominate Maxine Waters for VP? It's the least they could do.

-all religions should be abolished. There is no God, Allah, whatever. Get over it. Religion has caused far more problems than it ever helped.
-I don't need to have children to make my more fulfilled. Kids will seriously impact the selfish lifestyle I've grown accostomed too.
(uh, I hope my wife doesn't read this)
-if people keep getting free music over the net, there eventually will be no music industry. Do you think music companies are just making albums to entertain the world? No they are a business and are trying to make MONEY. No money, no business. Check out what rampant piracy has done to the local music industries of countries with lax copyright laws (eg China). The same applies to the film industry in the near future.

Punctuation serves an important purpose in making a statement. Periods, question marks, commas, etc. are not "them uppity buttons" on the keyboard.
Okay, I get it. The writing on The Simpsons has taken a nose dive in past years. I don't care. It is still appointment TV.
I am still relatively on the fence regarding the death penalty. However, I certainly believe that it must be used, at the very least, in cases of thread-crapping.
Let's be honest here. There are three Star Wars movies. They are not called Episode IV, V, and VI. They are called "Star Wars", The Empire Strikes Back," and "Return of the Jedi." I have no obligation to justify my belief that without Han Solo and Chewbacca, there is no Star Wars movie. And no, I do not need to read such-and-such book to understand the so called "Expanded Universe." I don't care. Nothing happened with Luke, Han, and Leia after the final film. The credits rolled...it's over.
While I'm at it, Attack of the Clones was crap. It was a terrible movie in and of itself, and it was a terrible faux addition to the line-up. It was not "as good as Empire" or "better than Return of the Jedi." It was marginally better than the POS first prequel. I've tried to force myself to believe otherwise, but I cannot.
I will continue to get my coffee at gas stations instead of coffee houses. I will continue to enjoy it.
The only edible onions are fried or perhaps grilled.
If a bee is near me, I will flail my arms and do the old bob-and-weave. That is not a statement of one's lack of manhood. Their primal defense is to sting. Ours is to not get stung.
The best "oh bfrank" smilie is actually: http://w3.gorge.net/kvrdave/ohbfrank2.gif. And just because the other was chosen as an addition to the board, none are obligated to use it excessively. Those who do must be punished harshly.
Beer doesn't really taste good. If one "aquires the taste," one has actually only learned to withstand the flavor in order to obtain the spoils of drunkeness.
There are all too many prolific posters on this forum who should learn the art of lurking.
Make your point intelligently if possible. As an example, there are those of us who read political threads, and we have a pretty good idea of whether or not you don't like George W. Bush. Therefore, by inserting your "Bush is a warmonger," or "Bush is a moron" statements with no surrounding points to be made immediately drops the intelligence level of the thread approximately three-fold. The same holds true for "liberals," "conservatives," Bill Clinton, etc.
No purpose is served by telling me why I shouldn't like a certain food. Yeah, people spit into food at fast food places. Yeah, certain meals are not made from the highest quality animal parts. If you are concerned with my health, don't be. If I kick off tomorrow, I'm not expecting flowers. If your true purpose is to turn people away from meat-products, then say so. It is intellectually dishonest to disguise your true agenda. And it makes you an a-hole. If you don't want people killing milk cows, say so. Don't tell me that milk causes health problems in order to try to affect the killing of those cows. You don't care if I grow a goiter the size of Topeka, you just want Elsie to die of old-age.

Only if it is only one gene and if it confers no other benefits. Various cancers have been traced back to being caused by a multitude of genes. In fact, most "traits" are caused by the interaction of gene's. Also-look at sickle cell anemia-they should have died out a long time ago, right? Well, if they have both gene's, they do tend to have problems. However, it turns out that by having only one copy of the gene, they are afforded some protection from malaria, a much more common health threat.
Most things are not cut and dried.
