Omfg Befell got the 20,100th post, u r teh uber postmaster. No seriously I was wating to get the 20,100th post because I'm just that bored, but I wasn't paying attention looking for a song in my library and when I noticed it was too late... another one of my dreams crushed by the Manchurian Candidate.

Traffic? Now, you haven't been in Los Angeles... especially when Gas Prices are low and it's the holidays... my God man, I could crawl across the freeway faster than the cars move.

Yes, as opposed to your superior-level uber books.

You show them conservative bastards our superior liberal muscal talent. Play... PLAY like you've NEVER played BEFORE! >.< No but seriously go out there and kick some ass but don't be afraid to voice your political opinion if you are asked by anyone. The fate of Ohio rests on your marching band! Lol j/p I need to get some sleep, badly.

Bratpack, you have a bit of a Deist view going on there.
Although your theory is a bit more pessimistic and hateful towards the human race then Deism, it still posesses a Deist point of view. The Deist point of view (which I am pretty fond of myself) is that the Universe is like a wind-up clock, which was built, and wound by God, and left to tick on its own set of rules that God created in order for it to operate properly.

That is to say: God does not dirrectly intervene in our lives (although I believe in the occasional miracle) but instead he lets us run our show and be the masters of our own destiny. It's not atheistic in any kind of way, it just suggests that whether God exists or not, we still have the freedom to choose and it is choice that makes us and keeps us free.

A: Soldiers sign a paper when they join the milatary, it says that they swear to follow orders barring a few resonable exceptions (if the orders violate other rules or the commander appears to be insane, etc). They aknowledge that they will have to risk their lives. What comes to mind when these people refused orders... cowardice.

So you inallienable right of freedom of choice has been reduced to a mere signature on paper?

B: The president can't do anything about their armor, he is not in charge of the budget, thats congress. John Kerry has vetoed every bill that would increase military funding that would allow them to armor the troops.

If you can prove that, your argument will be more than valid and accepted by the skeptics.

You first, if you've got the cojones.

If you check on SBC Yahoo!'s main page, you'll see that one of their top stories is that the delivery vehicles are STILL unarmored.

Then you shouldn't be able to marry either.

I was watching the global news today on NBC, when a story came up of en entire military group refusing to follow orders because of lack of protection. The group was the 343rd quarter master company, they were set to deliver fuel to a location in Iraq, in order to reach the locationt hey had to drive through Fallujah, currently one of the most-violent places in the world.

The group refused to follow orders because they said their vehicles and they were not properly outfitted with armor, and they feared for their lives. Now they face a possibility of being reprimanded, or court-marshalled for their actions.

This issue reminds me of exactly what Kerry was pointing the finger at Bush about during the debates. There are troops out there going on dangerous missions who are not properly equipped, yet they still go out there and put their lives in danger, and the president isn't doing anything about it. You'd think Bush could at least make sure the troops are safe now that he's sending them to war.

So what would you do? Would you still drive through the city and face a high-risk of being ambushed, captured, shot, or even blown up? Or would you use your inalienable rights as a person and choose that the situation is far too dangerous and that you're not properly-equipped for it, and live to fight another day?

Oh in the five pages I checked I found four references to buying macs for a total estimated value of 166.4.

Well at least there's (what appears to be) a decent shot of Dr. Aki Ross from that horrid movie Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within butt nekid and somewhat tanned.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again... you're all nuts.

Bush went to war with Iraq for what reasons?
1. He said Iraq had ties to Al Qaeda and possibly to September 11th. Then we find that there were no ties confirmed to Al Qaeda, and much less September 11th.

2. Bush said Iraq had weapons of mass destruction or was planning them, they showed us skimatics, designs and everything. What we found later was... absolutely nothing in Iraq than a few empty missle shells? There were no labs, no nukes, no nothing. Yet the death toll sits at at least over 1020 American troops so far, for a was that we didn't even have tangible evidence of.

Point: Bush lied out of his ass, talking out of the side of his mouth HOPING that he'd find something to make him look like a hero if we invaded Iraq. Instead what do we find? Saddam Hussein in a spider hole? We've gotten over a thousand American troops killed and ruined over a thousand American families just to find a man that was so scared of the U.S. he only used his cell phone twice since 1991? That was worth the price of American lives? Don't even come at me with something like "we've liberated Iraq, they sacrificed their lives," yes because they have to take orders, they don't know both sides of the situation.

The troops out there and a lot of the American public is not aware that the U.S. in fact urged Iraq to invade Kuwait back in 1991, and when Iraq did, what did the U.S. do? They turn their back on Iraq, and so begins Operation Desert Storm. The U.S. did that in a very clever strategic manner in order that Saudi Arabia would still remain friends with them and the U.S. would look like heroes, while they now kick Iraq's ass and claim their oil.

After searching through this political forum, newspapers, television, radio broadcasts, and just about everywhere, I still have not been able to find a single notable good thing that Bush has done for this country other than take it to a war that should not have been. But he did it, he took us to war, and we have to finish what we started, but Bush needs to get the hell out of the white house because we can't afford another needless war.

Why can't Bush worry about the American educational system better, instead of underfunding the "no child left behind" act and sending other people to fight his battles in Iraq? Can't Bush worry a bit more about healthcare, retirement, and scientific research that are things his country is clamoring for? We didn't clamor for a war, the majority of the U.S. and congress was against Bush taking us to Iraq. I guess the majority doesn't rule when it comes to him.

You're all nuts.

Bush is a C-grade student (he said it himself) who had a lot of pull at Yale University from good ol' dad (former president George Bush) at the time. If Bush didn't have his dad as a crutch to lean on, do you think he'd be where he is today? With his mental capacity? I seriously doubt it, I don't think he's skilled enough when it comes to worrying about other people's agendas and he would rather focus on tending to his own matters.

It means you're gay....

Once again I am pointing out the obvious (like Gooie says), and I'm even pointing out that I'm pointing out the obvious... which is obviously stupid.

Your corporate lawyers are preventing people from using their constitutional rights which guarantee freedom of speech. I am referring to the situation at www.newgrounds.com where LEGO corporate lawyers have contacted the site owner asking him to disallow LEGO flash movies of any sort.

I have been a lego-building fanatic for over fifteen years now as far back as I can remember, and the current situation of trying to forcefully shut people's mouths and imaginations at newgrounds.com has forced me to cease from purchasing any more LEGO products. I shal urge my friends, family, and aquaintances to cease purchasing any LEGO products or contributing any sort of profit to the LEGO corporation as well because of your hate for free publicity at newgrounds.com.

I regret to inform you that the flash authors at www.newgrounds.com did not know your corporate staff despised free publicity (seeing as most companies would actually appreciate any sort of publicity at all). Regardless of what the movies contain in regards to LEGO and lego products, the authors of the movie(s) have the right to express whatever they want (newgrounds has its own rules, regulations, administrators and rating systems which keep such things in check). The creators of the movie(s) bought the product, they can use it as they please. Furthermore, if you have any problems with a specific LEGO movie, contact the movie author, rather than the site owner or the site staff, which is not held responsible for the things people create, only for keeping them on check. Thank you for reading this, I look foward to a more-human and rational response from a LEGO representative in regards to the situation at www.newgrounds.com.

Apparently you aren't only dumb, but you are also... nevermind.
Because of people like you, we need government. People cannot govern themselves unless they learn how to live with each other in harmony, and the way things seem, that takes a lot of understanding, wisdom, and patience, which is something the general American public lacks.

Yep, yer about 2 years behind, lol. The Rock left to do Hollywood movies. Mankind left to campaign for liberals >.> I guess? Chyna left to take Mr. Clean's spot on the household cleaner bottle.

14 years of age? :( rats. Go see the abortion topic in this politics forum. I only think it's murder once the child has developed its own organs and can live outside of the womb. A premature abortion wouldn't really count for me persay if you do it before 3 or 2 months. But a mature abortion after 4 months is completely out of the question. Why are you worried about abortion? You got kids already? I swear these young'uns keep getting knocked up earlier and earlier... just kidding by the way.

Things might have been better, I'm not sure what Gore's political plans were, I wasn't as politically concerned four years ago when I was 15, as I am now. I do think that Gore would have much rather pursued a peaceful political resolution with other countries we are on bad terms with, rather than go invade Iraq for no reason at all. I also think he would have possibly tried to negociate situations with North Korea. But hey it's just my opinion, I'm not trying to make any sort of valid or cogent argument here.

Carlito Carribean Cool: some new idiot out with a shitty wrestling gimmick, helping perpetuate the latino stereotype of the "laid back lazy" person. He recently beat John Cena for the U.S. championship or something, by cheating, which further perpetuates the latino stereotype that we cheat or something, like Eddy Guerrero's slogan "we lie, cheat and steal."

I think that if it's strictly enforced and children can't drink till they are 18 or 21, they go crazy when they reach that age, don't know their limit and end up getting hurt.

That's why the slogan in the U.S. is "Drink responsibly." It doesn't say "drink till you're shit-faced and on the floor." You should know that you've hit your limit when you start to feel the slight buzz. I don't drink much in my life, never really drank as a kid. I drink from time to time socially and I always stop when I get a good buzz going. I don't go crazy over the alcohol and abuse it, I don't have to prove shit to anyone and show them that I'm a hardcore drinker, besides, people look and act quite stupid when they're drunk, especially women. Anyway, the 21year drinking age limit is there because of your liver's development. If you want to drink before 21, please go ahead, abuse all the alcohol you want and stunt your liver's growth, just don't go complaining about your liver failing on you when you're 50.
