might be a crackhead got messed up with the wrong limb and said go up and act like you a leprechaun boy

QUOTE(YASNY @ Mar 23, 2006 -> 05:19 PM) You had a reason for posting this garbage. It portrayed conservatives in a less than favorable light, and that was all the reason you needed. When you can post something that is meaningful and substantial, we will give it the proper respect. When you post crap, you get no respect. So, grow a brain will ya? wow i had no idea you were that sore that one time in your life you cried and called for mommy. This was posted/discussed in a lot of places and in a lot of places people just laughed it off and moved on... but no sir YASNY HAS NEVER CRIED IN HIS LIFE EVERYONE ...and he will dick cheney anyone that claims otherwise...

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Mar 23, 2006 -> 08:26 PM) gas was the least of my worries. I was always worried about brakes, shocks, suspension, tires(both popped and just plain worn out), bad radiator, 2 stolen radios, 150 stolen cds, 1 stolen amp, and broken oil reservoir seals. Oh, and then there was the time my timing chain broke. Then the gas prices shot through the roof. Safe to say Im glad I dont do that anymore. if i wanted to hear someone whine i'd go talk to a conservative

that sucks...

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Mar 23, 2006 -> 06:07 PM) We always smoked the pizza guy up, and let him chill for awhile as well. Delivering pizza sucks, I did it for a week and I ended up losing money. yeah i can't imagine with these gas prices anyone making money.

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Mar 23, 2006 -> 05:10 AM) http://today.reuters.com/news/newsarticle....S-PORN-WINE.xml that wine grading system is bulls***...so i hear but that's pretty cool that someone with so much potential could finally reach the mountain top...both of em. In an amazing scene.

i think what is likely here that this was a very large write up of a very long term spanning study and i wouldn't be suprised if this finding was a very small part of it but when read people found it the most interesting. I'm sure there were more accurately reported results in this study which were far less interesting, but were more controlled and closer to a true experiment. But for this small sample size, in this small study, he found this to be true, there's nothing to get so wound up about, jeeze, so you were a whiny baby...who cares? Are you whiny now? Nothing in psychology can ever be declared fact, but through years upon years of verification can something as close to true as possible be declared. Just read this as a funny anecdote and move on. Ridiculous over response to this thread.

i see the conservatives are finding their inner child to whine about this one.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 07:01 AM) Crossfire hasn't been the same since Kinsley and Buchanan left. Or since Ted Turner left either for that matter. the whole concept of the show is flawed though..."hey, i have this idea for a show, we'll bring up a current issue, not discuss it in detail but have two talking heads pull out their daily party cliches! And it'll be cheap!"

their morning show is really good. Getting rid of crossfire was brilliant ... that show was terrible with terrible hosts. Show sucked.

i just bought LIars - drum's not dead and McLusky - McLuskyism(3cd farewell from my favorite group of welchman that just make fun of everything) this McLusky is awesome... i've had liars forever and its my favorite of the year so far. It's so beautiful. They got this studio in east berlin where the commies used to do stories over the radio so they had these 5 rooms in the studio with incredible acoustics where they'd record like crunching footsteps and stuff so they used all the rooms and its just this incredibly atmospheric album with amazing drumming...

i don't understand how its a good answer.. the essential question: why did you want to go to war in Iraq. the answer: 9/11 durrr the taliban is in afghanistan durrr durr durrr i thought iraq was a threat. ^joke...but seriously why did he bring up afghanistan? It had nothing to do with the question. He's just doing that diversionary must reference 9/11 in speaking of iraq war to drive home to people that some how subliminally they'll think that iraq and 9/11 are synonymous and stability in iraq is retribution for 9/11. It's just not true! I want bin ladens head on a stake. ANd stuck up in the middle of NYC and people can spit on his face as they walk by. I just find it interesting what bush considers threats and what he doesn't.

QUOTE(WCSox @ Mar 21, 2006 -> 05:05 PM) No, it's just incredibly stupid and not worth $8. But whatever floats your boat... you still don't get this is all a joke do you? Interesting.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Mar 21, 2006 -> 06:21 AM) This movie is going to be a timeless masterpiece. I can't wait. And for those who feel the need to b**** and moan IN EVERY SINGLE f***ING THREAD, please, stop yourselves just this once. Recognize legendary filmmaking when you see it. I wasn't alive when "Gone With The Wind" came out, but this has to be like the next best thing. don't even compare that trash "gone with the wind" to snakes on a plane.

i don't think i've ever felt i've done a drug to fit in. Curiosity is what kills the cat. I do both and i don't think much of it. I think its far less of a moral issue than its made out to be. I have a bunch of friends that don't drink or anything and we respect them for it and they don't question us. True friends wouldn't pressure somebody to go against their convictions. But yeah i doubt more than 30% of high school kids both smoke and drink on a regular basis.

QUOTE(WCSox @ Mar 21, 2006 -> 04:36 AM) What I do understand is that the studio is using people like you to hype a stupid movie over the Internet for free publicity and to increase their box office receipts. What I don't understand is why you allow them to. Or maybe Weekend at Bernie's 2. i bet this movie is anti-bush too!

QUOTE(WCSox @ Mar 21, 2006 -> 01:27 AM) Point taken, although opposition in this country was minimal at most then. The movie was written and filmed years earlier. We weren't at war in 1930... ... or 1946. Still very early on in the Vietnam War, before opposition became strong. Which, ironically, was right smack in the middle of Vietnam but about the Korean War. I wouldn't say that it's "as anti-war as it gets" but, yes, the fact that they were medics makes it definitely anti-war. Vietnam still in its infancy... And we were out of Vietnam by then. wow, do you even realize that this post proves our point for us? A movie, written for a previous time period (OR A TV SHOW cough cough MASH) showing during a later time, that happens to have stuff going on COUGH COUGH VIETNAM...Once again, this isn't the first time topics from previous time periods get rehashed later and made a little more currently. Bush sr. had no sex scandals...clinton had many, including jennifer flowers and the long nosed lil girl, both before 1998, when most people saw that movie they thought Clinton...not Bush. But oh no the sky is falling everyone in hollywood is out to warp our minds against a flailing president. and a lot of those you say we weren't at war...we were in the cold war from "essentially" the end of WWII until the end of the 80's... There was also movies like Salvador that criticised our involvements in the central americas...Reagan. So you're argument that V for VEndetta, a comic book written about the Thatcher administration, an anti hero fighting a tyrannus government, is sympathetic to Bin laden and undermining President Bush just doesn't hold much water... (furthermore, it wasn't ironic that MASH was about the Korean war at all. That means that Jarhead would've been ironic it was about the first golf war...and it wasn't ironic. Irony : the state of affairs that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often humorous. If it was ironic M.A.S.H. was on during Vietnam...a 10 year plus war, then it was ironic that Hogans heroes was set during WWII...and that wasn't ironic.)

QUOTE(WCSox @ Mar 21, 2006 -> 01:02 AM) It's amazing how the Internet can hype and popularize complete garbage. Do you REALLY not understand that its being hyped BECAUSE Its complete garbage? It's all a big joke man. They made a serious movie with this premise and people are laughing at how stupid not only the title, but the hilarity of whose casted. I don't know how you don't understand this.

QUOTE(WCSox @ Mar 20, 2006 -> 11:53 PM) CBS tried to take down Bush right before the '04 election with a fabricated story. If you still want proof that the media has it in for him, there's your smoking gun. So, Hollywood was against Bush 41 back then as well, huh? What a shocker! How ironic that after it's release, the movie unintentionally depicted the actions of Clinton during his impeachment hearings. Talk about a gun backfiring! i don't think i can argue with a propoganda machine anymore. So, do you guys get like emails everyday with your daily GOP sheep catch phrases or is it a phone tree or what? and That's not irony, thats intentional. You see, movies with older themes try and update them with some current themes facing people today to keep it fresh and interesting. That's not irony. BUt i bet a dictionary is too liberal for you to use.

QUOTE(TheBlackSox8 @ Mar 20, 2006 -> 11:31 PM) dark horizons reports that it was a leaked teaser....with incomplete CGI. They said the actual trailer will be in a month or so. yeah i heard this too... Oh well...it will still be badass!!!

QUOTE(My Dixie Normus @ Mar 20, 2006 -> 09:54 PM) Every fan of any team asks themselves that question every so often. I know I did of the Sox, the Bears and the Blackhawks at one time or another. The only one that I answered with turning in my fan card was the Hawks. If they win Lord Stanley's cup, I wouldn’t cross the street to see them play. Not until Wirtz is out as the Hawks owner. It has been several years since I had this epiphany and I have never regretted it. As for Sox paraphernalia, I have 5 Sox hats. The black, the black w/Series logo, the green, the official champs (grey and black) and the classic Sox logo circa 70s-80s. The official stays in the closet with the t-shirt (never to be worn) along with the newspapers from the entire post season. Just this last week I was traveling up to Muskegon Michigan to meet a supplier on Friday. While I drove up, I had on my classic black w/Series logo on and had the green on the back dash for the Friday (St. Pat’s) trip home. We stopped for gas once and had dinner at Damon’s in Grand Haven. Each place we stopped, someone said something positive about the Sox. It was a good feeling. I bought a ton of stuff late last year. But the best item I have is something that I did not buy. A friend of my folks kids went around the Beverly/Mt. Greenwood area and took photos of all the retail marquee signs with “Go Sox” or “Congrats Sox” etc. McNally’s, Cork & Kerry, Coaches Corner, Brewbaker’s, the 9th District Police station. …. All the favorite hangouts from my youth. The put them all in a monster poster size picture. When I first saw it, that is when it really sunk in. We were World Champs. No one can take that away. this makes me want to buy the black WS hat cause the gary one looks fragile i'm afraid that globe is gonna fall off eventually

QUOTE(WCSox @ Mar 20, 2006 -> 10:46 PM) Wag the Dog was released well before Clinton bombed Iraq during his impeachment hearings. And you don't have very many other examples to back up your claim. If you want to believe that the release of Syriana, V for Vendetta, and Jarhead two or more years after our invasion of Iraq had absolutely nothing to do with the Iraq War, go ahead. I know better. you know what you want to believe...i'm saying they are comments on our times not malicious attacks to turn the nation on bush, he's done that well on his own. Social commentary pieces aren't time specific to the dumbass policies of the current president. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wag_the_dog "The film drew attention at the time for similarities to the Clinton sex scandal, although the movie also makes reference to the Persian Gulf War as an example of war used as an electoral tactic" hmm...sounds familiar...written about a former politician but released at the time of a current politicians similar situation...Where have i seen this before...where o where...

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Mar 20, 2006 -> 02:26 AM) I was actually hoping it would look cornier... i don't know, i didn't want them to realize what ajoke this was before ending filming...i hope its just naturally terrible...anyone seen shark attack three? I want it to be that bad. I laughed so hard at the trailer that i doubt i won't have at least 15 lols in this movie...

QUOTE(WCSox @ Mar 20, 2006 -> 08:26 PM) I don't know how I'm making any sense at all of your poorly-worded posts. I'm still waiting for your examples of "these types of movies" from the Kennedy, Eisenhower, Truman, and FDR administrations. And I'm still waiting for an example of a Syriana-esque movie during the Clinton or Carter administrations. I said these types of movies are made to make us think about our government officials policies. as well as modern day institutions...and then you came to think that meant anti war...that statement encompasses far more than anti war. the V for vendetta comic books weren't anti war...syriana was more our middle eastern policies with oil ... jarhead was a best selling book adapted for a movie...and i saw it an i can't really say it was anti war...just the story of how boring it can be, a soldiers account - howeve sensationalized he made it... anyway these movies just raise issues to think about...no different than Traffic (war on drugs) Crash (Racism) North Country (women in the work place and such) Erin Brokovich (corporate responsibility) and these types of movies are prevelant throughout cinema history. They haven't all the sudden been created for the Bush administration. HOw about Wag the Dog, a claim of the diversionary tactic very similar to the balkans during the clinton administration? Primary colors - the sleeziness of campaigns? Full metal jacket came out in 78...an anti war movie.
