  1. I love 'Songbird', thats beautiful little song. I've bought 2 albums ('Be Here Now' or whatever & Heathen Chemistry) after What's the Story Morning Glory. They both sucked shit, minus maybe 2 songs each. A shame. How do you go from fucking-amazing-perfect-front-to-back album, and then mostly shit after that? I guess fame & expectations, i dunno.
  2. you aren't shitting up threads rabbit. What you are saying does have something to do with the race, its not completely off-topic. I'll respond to what you said about Christians not being qualified to run for President. Philosphically, its a valid arguement, and one u talked about in the past (not regarding US presidency though i dont think). I just think the argument is such a enormously broad issue, that in this case its a bit moot. Most US voters are Christian, so its understandable that they would likely prefer a Christian president who has similar moral/spiritual beliefs they have. Why would they disqualify a person for President who has similar beliefs as themselves? On what the others were saying, i really don't give a crap about the "bitter" remarks & the Bosnia thing. There are so much bigger issues at stake than a slip of the tongue or a silly lie. In the 10 years i've seriously been into politcs, the #1 thing i've learned is that talk is cheap and actions mean everything. I try not to take too much heed in what politicians say or promise, i look at what they've done in the past in order to predict what they will do when they are in office. And Obama, IMO, is no different. I got caught up in his amazing speeches a few months back, but now reality kinda sets in. He is likely like all the rest until he proves otherwise. He's a lot of talk right now. A VERY smooth politican who says all the right things, but will he (or can he) actually implement them when in office? All the candidates are saying the exact same things Gore & Bush did in 2000. In any poltical race its a lot of promises, but few that are implemented. I hope a guy like Obama is different. He gives me hope, i want to believe in him so very much. But i can't until he PROVES it. I think voters should be paying a bit less attention to speeches and rhetoric, and a lot more to who is financing these people's campaigns, and what their past voting records have been. But of course that takes some independent research, and most people would prefer to just sit on their couch and watch Anderson Cooper babble about some speech on youtube.
  3. Ya, the worst edit ever is the Jabba dance sequence. WTF????!?!? The subtle edits i don't mind as much, but i still have my original THX Ep.4-6 on VHS so i can always watch those. I wish lucas would release the original versions on DVD all remastered etc., unlike the crap original versions he put on DVD a couple years ago. ya, A new Hope is so rascist. Have you ever noticed there isn't ONE minority human cast member in that entire movie? The end Throne Room medal scene you look at all the soliders and i cant spot a single one that was black/brown.
  4. 1. has yet to be determined 2. see above 3. Ya i'll show them just 4-6, then maybe when they are older they can watch ep 1-3 to their horror. 4. Ya its stupid. i think he was even flying the Falcon at the end Death Star Scene in A New Hope because i believe Han Solo was in the gunner chair thingy when he yells "Yeeee-haaw!! Now lets blow this thing and go home". Maybe they didn't have medal straps big enough to fit around his neck or something. And why didn't R2D2 get a medal???? p.s. im the biggest Star Wars geek. I own over 100 figures.
  5. Ok i'll rephrase what i said. Yes, examining the philosophies of the candidates is important, obviously. However, getting into the detail of Obama's religious philosophies - specifically debating whether a person who believes in a God and in Christiany is fit to be the leader of the world - is getting a bit off-topic for this particular thread IMO. It is however something that would be interesting to debate in another thread (well maybe not for me since i've already debated this at length with you, rabbit). I did watch a little bit of a forum on CNN tonight where Clinton & Obama were asked questions about their faith and how it guides their politics. Obviously religion is a huge part of any US presidential race. (edit: heh funny i wrote this before reading Marx' last post).
  6. I love fucking in the bushes. The song "Fucking in the Bushes" that is.
  7. I had a few friends who bought the same one, they all crapped out on them within 2 months. Just kidding! i know dick-all about external hardrives, im just an ass. sorry.
  8. Ya gotta love Oasis. But they aren't quite what they were. They are coming to Ottawa in Sept. but i will likely be out of town!!! AARARARRRGGGG!!!!!!!!!! ;)
  9. You might think Obama's philosphies are flawed, but like decomposinglight refered there isn't much point in talking about it when any major candidate for the presidency is going to be Christian because that is the religious beliefs of the majority of Americans. What i find odd is how most pundits say Hillary wouldn't want to be Vice-President (no matter if it were really Obama the winner or another person). Is she that power hungry? She is in this race for the power, not for the greatest opportunity to serve her country? Just seems odd/hypocritical. Somewhat similar to that 3rd-place Democrat whats-his-face smiley perfect haircut boy whose name i can't recall right now - John Edwards thats it! "Oh VP i been there done that, no thanks". Wtf??
  10. And heyrabbit somehow turns the U.S. pres. race into an pro-capitalism/anti-socialism, if-u-believe-in-god-u-r-stupid argument. ;) An ideology can be defined as political theories that were originally made to accommodate the social & economic conditions created by the Industrial Revolution. So which one has been most successful in practice since then? Not socialism or communism, (see: Nazi Germany, China, Russia/USSR etc.). Not hardcore capitalism (see: western economic shit-kicking of the great depression, and poor working conditons/rights leading up to then). From social & economic standpoints i think western liberal democracies using capitalism with a solid dose of socialist elements has worked best ie: the U.S., Canada, and most of Europe are the most successful up to this point since the Indust. Rev. Obama (and all the current candidates left) being Christian doesn't bother me. Heck, if Bush & co. followed their supposed Christian beliefs more closely (the "big" stuff at least), the U.S. wouldn't be in half the shit they are in now.
  11. There will be one (or 2), don't worry.
  12. Ghandi. Excellent, 9.5/10
  13. why do i want to make out with that homer? And i mean really mack out. Like hella tongues n shit.

  19. 9/10 ok u are right, mine makes enough boobs for both our pics heh.
  20. 8/10 - needs more boobs
  21. This is a year old but its funny. Layton makes a boo-boo: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2573495375641076739 I love the cringing expressions of his monrades after the slip. Priceless!
  22. Yes, that would be epic.
  23. Ottawa is the 4th largest city in Canada. There's no way he'd skip, so just be patient a date will be added at some point im sure.
  24. Disappointed Hillary won 3 states on March 4th. But she won the Texas primaries by a very slim margin so she only got 65 delegate votes compared to 61 for Obama. The biggest thing is that Hillary's negative campaigning worked. People hate it, but it puts the seeds of doubt in people's minds. I even saw it affecting me slightly, which i was suprised. Obama's huge momentum has definately slowed. I don't see Obama going on another run like he did before. If Hillary keeps the negative pressure on Obama, and she is able to bring Billy Boy out of hiding (by far her biggest asset) & use him to positively campaign for her while she keeps going negative here and there i think this is a race that is up for grabs by anyone. I think, at some point, Obama is going to have to start going a bit more negative, which will be easy because there's a lot of skeleton's in the Clinton closet. In the end, even if Clinton does win the nomination (and, hope to God, the Presidency) then that's 4-8 years of a decent "not-Bush" leader, which could likely be followed by another 4-8 years of Obama as President. *P.S. decomposinglight joined The Bored only 2 days after i did. Freaky & cool!
  25. I couldn't vote, because i use Facebook but i'm NOT fine with it. Don't like some of the privacy issues & controversy from it, but i reluctanly use it to keep in touch with countless old friends i otherwise wouldn't be able to.
