For what little it's worth, I vote 1 and/or 2. I think this one was too serious and, well, realistic to be venturing into crossover territory.

And so it finally ends................. Is it me.... or does the ending just seem to lack a little something? It feels like it peters off at the ending, with the social upheaval, politics and changes not having much of an impact on the reader. It's like the eye of a hurricane... we get this calm pe...

I remember, back in basic training some decades ago, when our DI gave the order to fix bayonets, some smart-ass in the back of the company snarked "Why, are they broken?" I snorted my coffee when I read that... and now my nose hurts. You bastard. :D I think a solution to the "avoid e...

Verhoven, goddamn it. That man is crazy enough to do it! :D Bah... after seeing what that man did to Starship Troopers *, I don't want him making another movie at all. Period. Especially not this, because the entire plot would get twisted around, Stuart's vision for the story would get fucked, and ...

I could almost see a few people offering to let themselves be killed, or to kill themselves in an interesting way, for money. Yeah, they'd be in hell, but they'd be rich. With super-healing, imagine the DFL (dead football league), where they play harder with no padding :D It's been mentioned before,...

The page needs to be narrower, I think. Paragraph spacing is good to me, but since the page is so wide they all wind up being only two or three lines long.

And Corporations over all? Ick. I'd sooner eat ground glass. While I'm former military, I have nothing but contempt for corporations. (Doesn't mean I won't take their money, though, it spends like everyone else's. I'll just be damn leery of any strings that money brings with it.) Corporate-run futu...

It's the mechanics that interest me. Indeed... and also, not sitting there trying to keep track of what's going on allows you to focus on catching the details. I tend to enjoy a movie more the second time around for this and the reasons you mentioned. As for better armed police? Show me a man who t...

Fixed it for you.

And on a side note, I can still remember the days when, in rural America, you could have rifles and shotguns racked in the rear window of your pickup truck. So I can see the American gun control laws being amended to include THESE as an "open carry" weapon Well, in many places that's stil...

Uprisings aren't always about rebellion - sometimes they're just about getting even. "My neighbor has a cow. I don't. I think I'll kill his cow just to make things even. Oh, we'll both die if I do, but I'm dumb enough to be that spiteful..." It's not just uprisings... I can't find it at t...

I don't know if the fundies will bite for that, though... saying "God abandoned us" doesn't give them the warm fuzzies of "we're fighting Hell" with the implication that God is on our side.

I just don't get all the "well, if I'd been around back then, I would have done this " I hear from people, whether the subject is Nazis, slavery, Romans, etc. The thing is, people make those statements with the assumption of having 20/20 hindsight, so to speak. They assume they'll keep the...

A friend of mine pulled this once, many years ago... the woman started crying, and his mom about crucified him on the spot.

Be pissed off that I lose the ability to nap. You won't be since the OP states that you can still sleep if you wish. Net gain, in other words... I'm very fucking jealous of you people that can just lay down and go to sleep on command. I think I'd just go to sleep at random just because I could.

Well, to be completely fair... I'm sure it's happening just as much the other way, too. Witness the (Brady?) guy holding a business (01) FFL in DC, in his house, and yet not actually conducting business--the very thing the ATF was cracking down on. Heck, it's probably happening everywhere. It just d...

Best W vs. T battle is the current poll.

I think he's referring to the "Proton torpedoes cheated their way around this limitation with considerable elegance; they used an exploded." They used an exploded what? It just ends awkwardly; something's missing. Otherwise, nice chapter as always... though I do have to ask; how the heck d...

So, Belial is not well situated to launch new lava portal attacks as soon as he would wish, in my opinion. Plus, he and/or his are facing a boning! * groan * That's horrible. Down under "boning" has two additional meanings: - the pointing of a bone at someone by an aboriginal is like a de...

I'm not going to get into whether having SS is a good idea or not... but the two things I really hate about it: 1. Your SSN is way overused in areas that have nothing to do with it. It should not be a de facto universal ID. 2. Die before retirement age, and you (or your kids/spouse) don't see a sing...

grizzly should be grisly

Rule 34, guys... I'm sure it's out there somewhere right now. You'll have to look for it yourselves, though.

The chorus of the old song reverberated around the beams of the mess. Al Sahra had been one of Saddam Hussein’s based, now it was the home of the B-1Bs of the 128th Bomb Squadron, Georgia Air National Guard . Did they get reactivated? Cause last I knew, the squadron had transitioned to JSTARS...

Maybe Abigor and the other baldricks hadn't been there personally in a long time, and it was barren back then (but Belial did some gardening since)?
