They don't. They do Shitface from Wanted AND MAKE A REAL ADAPTION OF WANTED. NOT SOME CRAPPY LOOSELY BASED MOVIE.

Wow. This is cool.
You never specified what type/size speakers dear old dad sent you !
Harman/kardon speakers.
And The Verve sounds awesome in them.
Bittersweet Symphony kind of reminds me of Viva La Vida by Coldplay.
Cool.

If you truly believe in justice, then you believe in quite a lot of things.
You believe that there is a definitive right and wrong.
You believe that the ends justify the means.
You believe in torture.
You believe in the death penalty.
You believe in civilian deaths.
You believe in mass warfare.
You believe in genocide.
You believe in rape.
You believe in murder.
You believe you must do anything to accomplish your goal of "justice".
Why? Because again, you believe "the ends justify the means". You get that from "justice", because you want to free people from wrong. How extreme are you willing to go to create "justice"? Very, because apparently you're open minded to everything.
You're first mistake? Believing there is right and wrong. What is right? What is wrong? What's the difference? Is there a difference? Let me answer that for you: NO. A big fat no. Why, you might ask, it's because justice is in the eye of the beholder. The way one defines it can very person to person.
True justice is as dangerous as being a radical or reactionary. You are willing to go so far for your beliefs. In this sense, true justice does not exist.

He needs to stick with Burn Notice.
Or make another Evil Dead movie.

There is someone out there who could be an amazingly dark yet funny Riddler, and I don't know who I'd cast because that person isn't Johnny Depp or any other Hollywood A-lister I've heard of.
Because that would take the fun out of guessing!
DUR
No, you're right. Even better, let's put in a lesser known Batman baddie.
Like maybe Red Hood....

Because then fanboys would be saying "LIEK OMG SAW TRAP LOL" etc.
Tobin Bell to me doesn't have that quality of the Riddler. But hey, why the Riddler at all?
Why not get Arnie to be Dr. Freeze again?

How about Robin Williams?
You know, think the Genie from Aladdin.
That would be awesome.

Maybe not. But definitely a comedian actor.
How about getting Danny Devito coming back and be the penguin? That would be awesome....and creepy.....or something like that....

Hey, so is mine, but hey, that's life.
It's your decision though.
Well, look at it this way. When Kennedy went into office, it was a big deal because, OMG, he was a Roman Catholic. Oh, he might make America Catholic and make us all pledge eternal devotion to the Pope. Scary, and that was only 50 years ago.
We will still face challenges, and there's no doubt about that as we speak, mostly dealing with the gay marriage issue. The civil rights in this country has always been difficult, and so this isn't a surprise. I would not be surprised, however, to see a woman President in my lifetime.
There's no doubt about it, though, had Obama not have ran, Hilary would have been President. I also see her not running for President either anytime soon. But probably some other woman politician who's well known in the right way (opposed to Sarah Palin) could potentially win in the next 50 years.

Yes, and that got me kicked out of Sunday School.
Which explains why I don't really celebrate anymore holidays.
Remember kids, the reason why we eat chocolate bunnies is that there were rabbits around Jesus's Cross. And the chocolate is brown, like the wood of the cross.
And we dye eggs because there were apparently chickens there as well. And most people there were on acid, so everything was like "WOW"
Maybe some traditions are better left unexplained.

I don't feel that gay marriage needs to be legalized in every single state but since it is in some then they can just take a roadtrip to the few,since a few states that'll let them marry so they stop whining about being discriminated against would be better than all states legalized so we'd get a truckload of complaints from everyone else.
Okay.
Well, based on your 1 example......I going to use you as my 1 example.
See, based off of you, or, even better, Fred Phelps, I can now safely assume that all Christians are fucktards who apparently ignorant towards other people based off of 1 person.
And, you know, you're right. It should only be legalized in a few states. Because I guess "home of the free" isn't good enough for everybody.
Of course this is wrong. You cannot base an entire assumption of a people's culture based off of 1 asshole who is the most well known. That's a fact.
Even more so, one would think, of all place to pass a gay rights bill, it would be in a very liberal state. Well, no, Iowa, part of what you would probably call "America's homeland" passed one. Mind you, Iowa is not the most conservative state in the country, but a conservative one neither the less.

Yeah....I know the feeling.
I've got bits and pieces written, I just have to fill out the chapters.
SPOILER ALERT: It will have other supernatural stuff in it.
One word: Q-Tip.
Because I swear to God, all old people look like that behind the wheel.
For those of you who cannot see this connection, here's a diagram.
Oh yes, Rav, there, the first chapter of MY novel is up.
The prologue's been up for a while though.

As part of our term project, we have to create a case against global warming. Al Gore, you can kiss my trash. I'll probably end up, as usual, debating both sides and have a foot in each one.

Never. People will just leave their trash where ever they see fit.
That's right. Through the entire history of mankind, there have been 4 jobs that have always existed, and always will be. No matter what the situation, whether an economic crisis or a nuclear fallout, these jobs will always exist.
1. Lawyer: Because people are always going to be suing each other for some crazy shit. Humans will always want money and/or other items from each other.
2. Priest: Because people will always try to suck up to religion. No matter what kind of religion, they always want divine beings on their side, because every little thing helps.
3. Assassin: Because people will always want another person dead. Plus, most are wusses that can't do it themselves, thus they have to hire somebody. Calling 47......
4. Prostitute: Sex. Do I need to say anymore?
So remember kids, when career day rolls around, remember these 4 jobs. People will think you're crazy, but you'll always have a job.

Either way, Alan Moore's probably turning in his sleep right now.

I seriously doubt that for obvious reasons.
1) Racism, because that's never going to go away. There are always going to be people who think they are better than others because they are of a different decent. A branch of elitism, if you will, because people try to make themselves better than everyone else, any way they can.
2) Genetics. It's been shown that people of different origins in race have different characteristics. And that's how it's always going to be. YOU CANNOT CHANGE GENES, PERIOD.
3) The opposite of racism, which fails to come to me at the moment. People will be proud of where they come from. It's pride, which people will always have and it's a powerful tool.
Race will never go away, because it can't. It holds too much in today's society.

Also by same idea: If a person is of mixed ancestry, like Japanese and European, what should they put down?
This is a very modern problem. We keep on trying to label each other as a single race, but we cannot. In this day and age there are also a lot of people who face this same problem, especially in the US.
A person will this particular dilemma Proteas would probably but down B), because that's the technical answer. But it could go anyway.
Though more and more now I see forms telling you that you can put down more than one race or ethnicity, which, thank god, is for the better.
However, if you really wanted to, you could argue that we're all from Africa. But that's slightly off topic.

Yeah.
Robin Williams recently had a very good stand-up bit over in Wales a bit back. Bit of politics fun too.
Linky.
One other I'd like to say as a politics regular:
SPECIAL RULES FOR POLITICS
Because it really is a different atmosphere than the other forums. The discussions are a lot more serious, and there's already been several attempts to write the unwritten rules down that have been created over the years.
As far as I know this one is the closest list we've got, but I would like to see some specialized rules for politics.
Oh, yes, thank you stafff, for that lovely video link.

Hey! Haven't seen you around lately I-F!
Also, I would predict a mere distruction. Of which side, God only knows.
Oh yeah, before ranting about this week's CSI Miami, especially for Mal since I know he loves it so much, I got something else.
Saw the Andy Warhol exhibit today in the De Young. Very interesting stuff, from the Campbell's soup containers to his near love for Mick Jagger.
Pretty creepy and cool at the same time. Also lots of photographs of stars before their prime.
