This flick was/is amazing on every level and actually breaks a cardinal rule for me. The book is NOT better than the movie.

Oh and why the Sex Bob-omb songs are so epic? Beck did them.

Exact change? That’s nothing. I worked in at a local grocery store for five years and have stories that your have you pouring bleach down your ears. Kids playing twister in the meat department? Seen it. Have several men runing around, sliding across the floor on their stomachs and yelling while dressed up in gorrila suits? Been there. Have old Iranian men smacking thier full grown sons,(while the soons stood there taking it submissivly) for attempting to steal a beer? chuckled over it. Have some one eat a ton of polish food apperently, walk into the only customer bathroom in the store, and explode? Had to clean it. (seriously, there was poo on the CEILING!) And ohh yea, my store was right next to a retirement home, so we got old people in all the time.

Where i get hazy is in Matthew 16 I think, When Jesus flat out says he will die AND RISE AGAIN. Peter rebukes him and Jesus calls him Satan! So Satan must have known that Jesus was saying this, but did he not believe him?

The guess the questions are: is the verse in 1 Cor speaking of Satan when it says “rulers of this age?” And/or does the verse in Matthew signify in any way that Satan knew what was going on? Or does it simply show his ignorance to the things of God…but seriously. If he knows God can’t lie…would he really think Jesus was lying?

Thoughts?

Battlestar, on the other hand, was great until they got to New Caprica. Then the whole thing just falls apart. The last season made me want to hurt myself rather than watch it.

And as for BSG…well sir….I think you have a project to get to!

*has never watched an episode of the new BSG*

1. Star Wars the Old Republic
The trailer made it look awesome and im jonesing for some MMOness. But we’ll see if the execution is as good as the hype, i dont quite trust it

2. DC Universe Online
Another one I dont trust the hype of, but if done right, could be one of the best things ever. I mean think about an MMO that has Metropolis, Gotham, other planets and even the realms of Death, Dream, etc? Theres just so many places this could go and if it explores them could be the best thing to happen to MMOs in a long time.

3. Marvel Vs Capcom 3
So this isnt RPG or whatnot but come the fuck on…Capcom makes my 2nd favorite fighting games (i grew up on Super Street Fighter 2) and adding in marvel characters over the street fighter engine just makes it better. The selling point for me though is Deadpool as a playable character. I’m preordering this as soon as I see opportunity.

Lets forum it up and discuss more nerdgasming!

Besides the titles I listed above, I also recommend “Identity Crisis” (Probably one of the best mini-series I have read in a long time), “The Authority” (The first few story arcs, later ones got boring), “Smax” (spin-off from “Top Ten”), “Fables”, “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen” (the comic was much better than the movie), and “Stormwatch” (near the end it got really good, and led into “The Authority”) to name a few … I plan to check out “Hip Flask” and “Elephantmen” soon as well, looks promising.

CCGs …. where do I start. I played Magic in the old days, didn’t get in in time for Alpha/Beta/AQ/AN stuff (bummer)…. started around 4thED, so got in on some cool sets such as Ice Age. I played quite a few CCGs, and collected way more. My favorite to this day is Legend of the 5 Rings, followed closely by Magic and the old Lord of the Rings game.

For instance, I have no fucking legs. Anything related to the fact i have no fucking legs is currently not covered. Thats bullshit.

My experiences with Final Fantasy 11 could (and probably will) be the subject of a whole other post, but I guess we’ll see how FF14 turns out.

On a side-note, I think it’d be cool to sit in on one of your sermons …. I’d roadtrip for it if I could.

I never got into FF after VII, they didn’t really grab my interest. Like you, I never did finish VII, but I have it on my PSP so maybe someday. I liked the tactics games, although I preferred Ogre Battle/Tactics Ogre more in that particular genre. As far as FFXI goes, that is the first MMO I ever played and so I have a soft spot for it – despite it’s many flaws. I signed up to try to get into the FFXIV beta and I will try it out when it goes live.

And here I am, later in life, with a similar situation when so many times I felt like murdering and bleaching the body. Somehow if I am able to forgive and forget, with the patience and kindness my parents have shown to be true love, maybe this is the one.

The Bobcat is a smaller cat, longer hair – more akin to the Lynx.

Otherwise, holy crap that stuff is nice.

That is all.

The main reason for the past 3 elections I have written in my name for President instead of voting for either of the main party candidates is because I was tired of people telling me what was right and wrong, and that basically my opinions were less valid than theirs. Even more so coming from a state like Washington where it could matter less who I voted for, because our Electoral College votes were determined before voting even began.

I don’t mind someone calling me an idiot if I like to hang upside down from the uneven bars and pee when I get thirsty to get some liquid refreshment, but I take a tiny bit of offense when I am told that based on the way my mind works when it comes to making decisions – I am wrong.

Mind you, I am (mostly) playing devil’s advocate here. If I were to be posting on another site where they were celebrating the “victory”, I would be coming at this from a completely different angle. I would like to think that I can see a issue from all points of view so I can get a better understanding of a topic so I could get a better understanding on what’s truly important – and get insight on those that would call me friend or enemy.

That said, I doubt many people would look back on Nazi Germany and blame the Jews for not treating the Nazi’s with love and respect. Or the Black population here in the States not to long ago for not treating slave owners with love and respect.

This is an issue of Human Rights. It has nothing to do with politics or religion. It just so happens that the loudest voices are coming from a small few who keep making it about that.

I am sick to death of seeing people saying things like
“Keep fighting the good fight, I am behind you 100%”.
When what it should really say is
“I totally think you are in the right but I am not going to say anything or stick my neck out at all because I am not gay and it really is a ‘gay’ fight”.

That said I will leave this with a poem by Pastor Martin Niemöller…I think it says it all better than I could.

“First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak out for me.”

“..together a plethora of people together ..”, cross out one together ….

& “I think out entire tax system is ridiculous.” – I think ‘our’ ….

I dislike not being able to edit my post.

Your state had this issue put forth on this November’s ballot because people in Maine felt this should be decided by the people and not just a select few in the government. If we wish to believe we live in a democracy (which we do not, but I digress), then we have to accept that people will feel that this is their right to chose the direction of the laws which govern us. In the end, key mistakes were made which led to this proposition passing …

1)Assumption. Too many people assumed that because Maine is the way it is politically and how the region in general is gay marriage friendly and didn’t prepare to fight this properly. This is not the way to win a vote.

2)Voter turnout. Why is it, every election, people are surprised when more older people (who usually have more conservative views)vote more than younger people? If numbers are correct, voter turnout was lower than expected in Maine and the votes that could’ve turned the tide – young (college age) adults were nowhere close to what it should have been.

3)”Us vs. them”/”Counter-hate” mentality. Your post on one hand was asking for everyone to be equal and accept people as people regardless of who they are – and then attack the very people who you felt was your opposition. You feel compelled to use language such as “ignorant bible-thumping bastards” and (sorry, I have to quote the entire paragraph) .. “And those who come to me from a religious standpoint had better not waste your time. I don’t believe in your imaginary man in the sky, and I never will, and I don’t give a shit what your little archaic scripture says about what I should or shouldn’t do with my life. You may be weak or stupid enough to allow an ancient fairy-tale to run your life and your precious family’s life, but I will never accept it and I will be the first to tell you that. Your beliefs are holding us back as a community, a nation, a government, a society, a civilisation, and a species and for that you have my sincere loathing.” I can’t see how you can justify lumping together a plethora of people together – whose views on life, love and happiness are varied and not cut and dried – simply because of a belief system you personally don’t happen to support. Hate is hate, and I would think that a reasonable person would not support any of it.

As far as your standpoint on tax-exempt status – I think out entire tax system is ridiculous. I have never supported organizations such as churches nor charities to have tax exempt status.
