http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/sto...sp?story=614229 While it's obvious that many people close to the administration are raking it in, is 450,000 really that much to these people? And is it really enough to make news? Why isn't there more about the Cheney family's profits? Or am I just not looking in the right places?

Welcome, there are never enough Seinfeld avatars!

The Oscars shouldn't be about who deserves to win because of their body of work or about spreading the winners over a bunch of movies. The Oscars should be about a group of movie 'experts' who make their one choice in every category on whatever basis they chose, trusting that the honor of being in the academy would negate the basis being a stupid one.

Jeeze some spoiler warnings would have been good for this thread. D'oh

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Feb 27, 2005 -> 03:34 PM) And Kip, how do you know the Democratic Party cares more about people? You really just have to look at the poeple running the Republican party. Where do their loyalties lie? Oil and big business. And this has really been the tendancy as I see it since Goldwater and the right wing of the party had taken over in the mid 60s. I'm not saying Democrats are god's gift to the earth but in comparision to say... Wolfowitz, Delay and Cheney they look like saviours. There's really nothing anyone could say that would make me think Democrats are just as bad as Republicans on all levels. They for the most part disgust me.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Feb 27, 2005 -> 02:19 PM) Holy hell yes. I saw that last weekend, and I was like wtf? There's no point to that movie. It pissed me off. LOL wasn't it supposed to be about existentialism.

QUOTE(CubKilla @ Feb 27, 2005 -> 01:24 PM) Trust me when I say that the liberals are taking care of no one but themselves. They may make you think they are, but lies about what conservatives will do to necessary social programs wouldn't be drastically cut by conservatives. The Democratic Party has brain-washed minorities, particularly black America, into thinking that without them, the Republicans would wipe every social program off of the face of the earth. 11% of black America that voted in 2004 has come around and knows that that is not the case and they voted Republican. The Democrats are losing the hispanic vote. Without winning back those minority votes already lost, the Democratic Party may one day outlive it's usefulness under it's current political set-up. Well for one I know the Democratic Party cares more about the people than the Republican party and 2 the democratic party doesn't run Canada.

QUOTE(Mathew @ Feb 27, 2005 -> 01:08 AM) The only reason the U.S. wanted Canada to join the missle defense was to give the U.S. the much needed credibility that it absolutely doesn't have. Thank God Canada didn't sign and piss away a 30 yr history of trying to rid the world of offensive weapons like this one, the weaponization of space and for example the hard work done on the land mines issue. The U.S. is not creating a defensive weapon here and everyone with half a brain knows it. Good thing the Canadian government has demonstrated having half a brain, though likely not much more then that at times. I obviously only have half a brain. Why is this so obviously an offensive action?

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Feb 26, 2005 -> 01:00 PM) Assuming you live long enough to get an appointment to see a doc and get the drugs, that might be a good thing. As for Kyoto, it will be dead in 5 years, when all the nations that thought it was a good thing, see how it totally f***s their economy and productivity. European countries are so far behind in their 'goals' that it would take a miracle for them to meet their targets for reduction. Kyoto was a good idea, bad execution. Call me oblivious, but I'm not scared of some rogue missile hitting me or my country. And seeing as the majority of Canadians didn't support involvement in missile defense (anyone actually know what this involvement would include?) they don't seem to be too worried either.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Feb 26, 2005 -> 06:37 PM) My point exactly. The purpose of government is to govern not to play nursemaid to everyone who lives under it. While I agree I don't think we'd have consistent views as to what qualifies as playing nursemaid.

Saturday in Iraq -2 Iraqi civilians killed by car bombing in Baghdad -Pipeline blown up in Northern Iraq -1 Iraqi national guardsmen killed by car bombing near Mussayib -1 insurgent killed in Tikrit -2 Iraqis killed in clashes between US forces and insurgents in Ramadi Friday Updates -The Female Iraqi reporter kidnapped last week was found dead in Mosul http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/02/26/...main/index.html http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,148824,00.html http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/B80...B450B9261F4.htm

http://www.yearoftheyao.com/trailer/large.html Looks like a fun movie.

Sheesh I agree with Nuke and BigHurt on this one. James Bond has to be a bad mamajama.

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Feb 26, 2005 -> 12:57 PM) Your point was that somehow the pursuit of a missle defense system was not a worthy one, and that the US should be doing other things, such as those mentioned. Maybe when North Korea launches a rouge nuke at the US, and due to their crappy targeting systems it appears that it would take out Ottowa instead, we should just let it drop? Canada is being a wuss in this. Publicly 'withdraw' from the missle defense shield, while knowing that if a missle WAS heading towards Canada, that the US would try to stop in anyway. I haven't yet made my mind up about missile defense and whether we should have pulled out yet. So my point was not to say it's not a worthy pursuit, but that it takes a backseat to things that I believe have higher risks to mankind. And I'll always trust the Liberals to take better care of me than Republicans.

I was just pissed off last night and finally was fet up with how everyone jumps on everyone of my posts. While, my post was overly agressive and under the influence(not an excuse) I stand by my my general point that I think it's a lame excuse to note how our economy will suffer, because WELL OUR BLOODY WORLD IS SUFFERING and that Republicans don't do nearly enough to make me think they really give a damn.

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Feb 25, 2005 -> 11:30 PM) And just what is Canada doing towards accomplishing those goals that the US is not? Is that my point? No.

QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ Feb 25, 2005 -> 01:50 PM) What kind of person goes to a message board based in a foreign country and does nothing but take shots at that country's government? Lol, pot shots at your government. You'll know when I take pot shots at your government. Plus I don't care about any of this, oh my Kyoto treats our economy unfairly. There is no f***ing time to worry about the economy either you're f***ed or you try to change things. Fact is Republicans don't give a s*** about the future, they care about the dollas. f*** Republicans and all that ignorantly support them. :finger :finger :finger :finger :finger

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Feb 25, 2005 -> 02:11 PM) Hugh Jackman for Bond!!!!!!! But only after he gets done making X3. LOL hugh jackman for Bond why don't we just have tom cruise play bond. We need a real bad ass play BOnd, not a pussy like Jackman. i'm krunk

http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/20...bate050225.html I'm pleased with this new occurance, but I'm sure none of you care. This is the type of thing your governments should be doing. Especially if it didn't bother signing on for Kyoto.

http://www.cbc.ca/story/world/national/200...lings-0225.html I guess they're still kicking.

It looks like it's down to Clive Owen or Julian McMahon as who will be Bond. I happen to like both of the choices, Owen before McMahon though. http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=8520

Friday in Iraq -3 US soldiers killed Tarmiya from roadside bomb -1 US soldier died of non-combat injuries in Baghdad -1 Driver for emloyees of al-Hurra television killed by gunmen -1 Polish soldier and 2 Iraqi civilians killed in vehicle accident -2 associates of al-Zarqawi were announced arrested http://edition.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/02...main/index.html no variation in reports today

I have a hard time imagining a movie with so much CG could ever become any kind of classic.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Feb 24, 2005 -> 11:23 PM) Actually this is one in a series of tests of the Aegis cruiser based system and a viable theater missile defense is very significant in the grand scheme of things. Okay that would have been nice to know in the article or any of the other articles I read. And compared to the search for a cure for Aids and Cancer, or slowing global warming it is very insiginificant.
