QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ May 21, 2010 -> 08:02 PM) LMAO by wearing an American flag t-shirt...in America. Wow. The audactiy... A group of teenagers plan to all wear their American flag shirts on Cinco de Mayo. Yeah, no possible reason that administrators would think they're just being assholes...

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ May 19, 2010 -> 03:18 PM) I would agree. The "rules" may have been Jacob simply telling ben that he couldnt hurt Widmore. And since Ben is a lillte pissed at Jacob, he doesnt care anymore. I thought the rules were supposed to be more concrete than just suggestions. Like, they have some kind of magical enforcement. Why else was Smokey still following the "you can't kill candidates" rule (though still trying to with a ridiculously lame loophole)?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 19, 2010 -> 03:03 AM) They explained why he took her off the list pretty clearly. Everyone on the list was a loaner struggling with a lot of issues. Kate became a mother, so Jacob took her off the list. But Kate was not crossed out in the Lighthouse (Jacob's) list, only the Cave (Smokey's) list. Or did Jacob use the cave too? Also, Sun/Jin as loners? Jacob touched/recruited them when they got married.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ May 19, 2010 -> 02:33 AM) He Gone!! Didn't see him die!

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ May 19, 2010 -> 05:34 AM) If we have learned anything from the show/Jacob, it's about believing in free will, and everyone has a choice or a chance. If Jacob picked a candidate, and forced him/her to take over his role, it would be going against every thing the character believes in. I don't think the complaint was that the winner was a volunteer rather than someone chosen by Jacob, but that all the huge buildup of candidates led to a super short scene where one guy quickly volunteered and the other three sat there. Also, thanks SO MUCH, Jack, for not bothering to ask questions of Jacob about what the job actually entails or why you're doing it. I guess the skeptical man-of-science to unquestioning, gullible, man-of-faith change is complete.

I baked a cake for my girl a couple nights ago. The cake itself was just the boxed stuff you get at the supermarket, but I made my own whipped cream frosting. Booya.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ May 10, 2010 -> 08:19 PM) What happens when you try really hard to be partisan? You end up supporting slavery... even though you're black: Michael Steele Inadvertently Supports Constitutions 3/5 Compromise OOPS!! IMO: The constitutional IS by nature defective or flawed. It's written by humans. It was designed to be a living and breathing document that can be changed over time... hence the whole amendments thing. Comment from Ed Brayton's blog: "I wonder what fraction of Michael Steele would like to revert to the original constitution." - Taz

I'm pretty certain the humans from last night are supposed to be Romans

Uhhhhh WUT

I'm sorry but this is too funny... Kagan as the Albino from The Princess Bride http://img.skitch.com/20100510-durm3d71w4f...rkawsy2wdpa.png

QUOTE (lostfan @ May 7, 2010 -> 07:41 PM) Yeah one Mexican state... lol... but some dumbass thinks it's insensitive to Mexicans to wear a shirt with an American flag on it in the United States on Cinco de Mayo. I thought it was kind of funny actually. I don't think the administrators problem with it was that it's "insensitive". They probably thought the people showing up in the American shirts were trolling and going to start trouble. Still, dumb.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 6, 2010 -> 11:14 PM) They always believe the crime happened. I dont know the statistics and im sure not the rate but id guess most cases that go to a grand jury result in an indictment. I was on a Cook County Grand Jury. In the entire month, we only rejected one case, and barely that one.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ May 6, 2010 -> 07:11 PM) I do not think that Locke is indestructible but yet nobody hits him with a shot. When I watched it, I assumed they were just to cheap to make a special effect of bullet holes appearing on his shirt...but I dunno. Sayid did stab his earlier, it just didn't do any damage/healed right away.

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ May 5, 2010 -> 04:54 AM) Tonight's episode was so sad :'( RIP Sayid, Frank, Sun, and Jin. :'( Now the only survivors of the original crash of Oceanic Flight 815 are: Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Hurley, Claire, Rose, and Bernard. Did Lapidus really die? From that door hitting him? If so, WEAK.

QUOTE (daa84 @ May 5, 2010 -> 12:18 PM) so i probably just forgot because they skipped a week, and i haven't been following all that closely, but what happened to Ben and Richard? Richard was determined to blow up the plane. After Hurley screwed up the plane by detonating all the dynamite in the Black Rock, Richard said there were more explosives at the barracks he wanted to go get. Ben and Miles went with him.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 2, 2010 -> 04:46 PM) Let's call it the National I'm going to be Offended at Something No Matter What Day. It has nothing to do with prayer being offensive.

Remember when George W Bush stood in front of the "Mission Accomplished" sign? He was saying that his goal to establish the Fourth Reich was complete. It's very clear to me that's what it meant. And don't laugh at me; that just means you have no argument.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 30, 2010 -> 09:24 PM) When the President gets up and freely states that he doesn't believe an individual's rights, and then goes on to say we should force people to do for the collective good... Well its pretty clear to me what he believes. Except he didn't say that. Are you trolling?

QUOTE (T R U @ Apr 30, 2010 -> 08:10 AM) I didn't play it but my cousin beat it and said it was pretty good.. although I don't think its a very long game.. 10 hours

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 05:50 PM) So I finally finished Heavy Rain. I'd give it a 7/10. Awesome graphics and a decent story. I liked the attempt at a new style of game. There was some great tension build-up in certain scenes that really got my heart racing. Problem is that game should have been about $25 max, not $60. You basically watch a movie and touch buttons. They kinda made it so that you had options in certain scense, but I dunno how much of them really altered the storyline until the end of the game (clearly allowing certain characters to die is big, but those types of consequences are few and far between). I failed a few times on purpose and found that you just hit different buttons to end at the same place by the end of the scene. And sometimes I felt like certain scenes didn't really connect well. You'd play one character, finish that scene, switch to another character, and suddenly they'd be linked without much explanation as to how that happened (particularly at the end of the game). Also, the voice acting was pretty awful. Why couldn't they get Americans to do American voices? Still, something different than the typical game. Looks like a really good rental.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 04:17 AM) So, the NDoP doesn't mention any religion, nor was that its intent. Yet, there's a lot of people who are getting their noses out of joint because of this huge over-reach by our government. Yet, real over-reaches of different kinds occur every day, so why is this a big deal? The NDoP is clearly religious in nature. It encourages Americans to engage in a religious act. What other intent could it have? I don't think anyone has said it is a huge over-reach. I've said this is a minor CSS violation.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 01:34 AM) Fine. But what about anything else that's in the constitution? I'm just interested in where people think line should stop. That's a rather large scope for a single thread.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 12:27 AM) Why religion? Why anything...? Because we're specifically talking about the First Amendment's separation of church and state.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Apr 28, 2010 -> 01:49 AM) Okay, but at what point should the government not interfere with (insert X here). Depends on X...
