OK like a noob I posted the wrong Star Trek Link
this is Kirk destroying the orginal NCC-1701
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8zWZNYy9ZE

and I'm referring to Picard in ST: First Contact
Kirk on blowing up the Enterprise:   "My God, What Have I Done."
Picard on blowing up the Enterprise: "There's plenty more letters in the alphabet".

that's the real reason they stuck Picard on the wrong side of the galaxy when the fighting started...

I haven't seen American History X, is that where they make a guy bite on the curb and then they stomp the back of his head so his teeth splinter? the crips really did that in the 1980s

at least they didn't put fireworks under Dick Cheney in the hope he would explode in a fireball!

On the other hand, wtf do you do if you jump through the roof into a warehouse full of bad guys and you need to reboot?

"I don't think our biological past explains why we devellop weapons to fight eachother (no other animal kills his own species, except in extreme cases).."

Pack canines often kill each other in dominance battles.  Feline males in packs (or whatever the hell you call a whole bunch of kitties other than a pride of lions) often eat the very young of minor females--normally that is big cat behavior but on farms with 18 cats living a quasi-African lifestyle the male kittys act like their 250kg cousins.  Apes fight like hell, and chimps and bobonos use clubs and stabbing sticks to help kill foes.  And that super jumbo crocodile in West Africa, the one 6m long, he eats regular sized adult crocs for breakfast like kippers.

From "Gettysburg".  General Lee, Commander of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, discusses the total absence of cavalry cover with his cavalry chief, General J.E.B. Stuart.  The Confederare Army lost the battle, ended their invasion of the North, and went over onto the defensive for the rest of the war.   I'm sorry if the southern accents and lack of subtitles wrecks this for you, it is historically accurate dialogue. File it under P for PWND.

You're both wrong, any part of the body contacting nicotine gets cancer.  If you don't inhale the smoke of a cigar you risk lip and gum cancers.  And "chaw" means they have to carve your gums like a cantaloupe to get the tumors out.

She'll stay in. She's a Clinton. She's a crook. (Dragnet theme)

Hey, if everybody reverses their stated values and ethics and duty down the toilet, and gives the final vote to Clinton, they win. They can say and do whatever up to The Moment Of Truth, so long as they come around in the Moment of Truth. That's how they beat impeachment and that's how'll they'll play this nomination. Just so long as enough whores come through at the last minute, they're home free.

"The EU has no authority over the Balkan republics, and therefore their problems can't possibly be blamed on the EU. However, with the prospect of being part of the EU, those states follow the EU's directions better then ever before (they had zero control in the days of Yugoslavia, and little control after that). So it's more or less a false arguement."

Oddly enough, although the EUROPEAN Union also has no authority over Israel, Korea, Myanmar, Iraq, or North America, the one place on earth they refuse to meddle IS...

"Republican Solutions and a Positive Agenda
Posted By: Tom Cole, May 16, 2008 - 9:52 AM
Families today face challenges that yesterday's laws simply don't address. We need to fix government, and one solution is to update our laws so they provide America's families with more freedom in their jobs; greater healthcare and retirement security; safer communities; access to quality, affordable education; and the ability for future generations to compete in the global economy.

This week, my colleagues in the Republican Conference announced the American Families Agenda, spearheaded by my colleague, Congresswoman Kay Granger of Texas. This new agenda concentrates on the bread and butter issues facing every American. And it recognizes that today, more and more families struggle with balancing work, children and caring for elderly parents. Over the coming weeks, Republicans will be promoting new ideas that give people more personal freedom and lessen the burden of government.

From young people just starting out and looking for affordable college, to working parents who want more freedom in the workplace, to seniors who would benefit from greater flexibility with their health care and prescription drug benefits, the American Families Agenda provides commonsense solutions that modernize our laws and give people greater liberty.

I look forward to sharing more about Republican solutions and a positive agenda in the weeks to come."

A big reason Bush has such low approval ratings is he veered left during his second term.  Even before the Dems won in 2006. 

He proposed and passed a whole new entitlement bill for prescription drugs.  Now to explain, there are some US govt aid that is needs-based, and there's some like Bush's dumbass bill that is an entitlement.  An entitlement goes to anybody breathing, whether they could afford it on their own or not.  Entitlements wind up over budget by about 30x what they're projected over a few decades, because everybody uses a freebie more than the govt can predict.  It's already 100% over budget after 4 years.  Like Rush Limbaugh jokes, sorta, he should hold up his pill bottle to the 19 yr old clerk at the pharmacy and say "Thanks, sucker!"

He shoved for open borders.  We slapped him down in 2004.  If he hadn't dropped it in March 2004 he would not have been elected in Nov 2004.  Well, the dumbass brought amnesty back in 2005.  We did not elect him to do that.

He tried to put a close personal friend of his named Harriet Miers onto the Supreme Court for life.  She is not a judge.  We don't need to have Presidents putting people who aren't judges, onto the Supreme Court for life.  We had to give him hell.

He has gone "green" on us.  CO2 is harmless and he knows it.  Anybody who doesn't can move to England, if that doesn't push their carbon footprint too high.

Those are reasons conservatives don't approve of Bush.  I can't speak for Republicans because I'm not one anymore.
