seems like it's just you and me now on these forums, and you look like you've been taken over by a spambot; cartiers for china at 10$ a piece is it?

I was talking about the Germans during the battle of pearl harbor, DUUHHHHH X(

some day they will say "the day has been won!" and the soldiers will leave, but who will have won will be beyond me...

the bad guys in the franchise all kept their populations numbers down due to constant warfare or culling, with low technological development being a side effect from their subjugation to false gods or constant resetting due to the culling;

naturally the ori also kept their follower's technology extremely low tech, the only thing I find incredible is that they also seemed to be fairly low in numbers whereas they would have preferred as much followers as they could afford because it gave them more power; but then we didn't really see much of the ori galaxy so for all we know the ori did maintain a much higher population level than its intrinsic technological level could ever hope to maintain (in which case it's going to suck to live there after the events of the last SG1 season)

Like I said it's not a slippery slope for our societies. In a modern society that allows homosexual intercourse but not homosexual marriage/civil union, the people who are actually gay will simply not marry or enter a civil union, those that do aren't gay but bisexual (or just confused). In the past when homosexual intercourse was actually prohibited and heavily frowned upon by society in general and religion in particular these people actually did regularly marry the opposite sex just to shake off social and legal punishments, but fortunately those shackles are pretty much gone now in modern western societies. None of the younger generations of gay people I know would ever marry a woman just out of some past form of peer pressure. Short of forcing them to have intercourse with women society simply does not have these people in the heterosexual marriage pool any longer, whether gay marriage is permitted or not is wholly irrelevant for the calculation of the actual (voluntary) birth rate potential.

and by the way should you not be able to marry if you or your girlfriend was infertile or she had her tubes tied?

yeah there is quite some unnecessary drama and associated wussy elements in the show, but on the other hand if I was stuck on a spaceship millions of years from home with no apparant way to return I only hope that I would be able to screw like crazy too

I take from this thread that american highways are way too slow

since cut means pussy in dutch, I would have to say yes they do.

everyone knows that the Foundation builds the best spaceships X(

BSG is clearly a capital/carrier ship and not a measly cruiser X( X(

the Dune highliners do win on shear badassness though... I mean having a completely deformed completely stoned drug addict at the helm of a ship so big it can transport scores of also quite big ships has got to be off the charts in terms of shear badassery

you make a big assumption that all people who are repressing their feelings are "perfectly happy"... would you be "perfectly happy" if you were an ugly mofo that couldn't get a woman to bed?

oh teh noes, I'm a guy too
