IIRC it was the same in Illinois (without an accompanying adult, as in CA), though it's been a while since I was there last. And usually it's either within view of a help desk, or locked up. What gets me is the graffiti itself - I see it in places nobody should be able to get to. The sides of the gi...

Fuck...it just HAD to be the remake... Where are we supposed to get weapons in the first place? If guns are so hard to find, my choices in melee weapons would be an axe and an aluminum softball bat. I'd also want to be wearing steel-toed boots. Since my military experience consists of grease-monkeyi...

If Comedy Central was unwilling to show Muhammad then Matt & Trey should have made him a blank cutout, or just left his face blank a la some Islamic paintings. Basically the maximum offense possible while still doing what the network asked.

A manifesto of sorts... From Temple of the Ota'Kin : Sections of the community accept as reasonable extrapolations of fact Tolkien-esque elves and fae, Pernian dragons, and other phenotypes resembling or derived from fictional sources. There are numerous theories behind the acceptance of such a conc...

How do you draw the line between mocking an idea and mocking a person for holding it, as far as what's appropriate? I've got acquaintances whose constant apologia for Atheism drive me up a wall specifically because I already share all of them. And I've got one friend who's actually a young-Earth cre...

They're not talking about new construction. NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (AP) -- A long-awaited government projection on this city's flood danger recommends that thousands of homes and businesses in areas ravaged by Hurricane Katrina be raised at least 3 feet. That requirement clears the way for residents...

How do non-profits work in the UK? Are the JWs considered one?

Why exactly is it wrong to let him change that? Because he wants it. :lol: But seriously - passports are the property of the state, regardless of the state's reasoning. He should be laughed out of court. Problem is, if he is then will he accept it's because his request was silly? No! It'll be becau...

I never understood the whole BRAD PITT IS TEH HOT!!!!!1!1!11! thing. To me he's just blond and bland. Blasphemy isn't necessary. What I don't understand...what's so hard about simply drawing all the curtains on an ordinary multimillion-dollar estate, and having any needed drivers pull into a garage...

Bush hasn't always been such a shitty speaker - I think it was the various addictions that did it. Here's a vid of him speaking in 1994, vs. his performance in the 2004 Presidential debates.

Oh God, summer's coming and you really ought to see how the younger Latinas at work dress when it gets warm. :wink: We have goddesses over here called Puerto Ricans so I'm not too upset about that but the Mexican women here are all these short little Native looking people that tend to blimp up if t...

It has been proposed that a 700mi wall be built along the border. Price tag? $280 billion. Of course it's not a matter of either patrolling or building barriers. Both are already done. It's a matter of the balance between those. I think job 1 is funding the border patrol agency to the point that it ...

That sounds like a pain to implement, especially with the radiators to cool off the ship. IIRC, most spaceborne nuclear reactors to date have been liquid-sodium reactors (like on the RORSATs) I guess I'll use that then. So that works about the same way, only it uses liquid sodium instead of water t...

True, I'd fuck Clinton's brains out. I'd want to outdo Monica, not that I blame her.

As for Cheney, eh...not so much. Unless he wanted to make a snuff film.

I ran into the first broadcast while I was flipping channels, and saw the male Cylon telling Baltar about detecting the nuke. I decided to turn it off until I could watch the whole thing from the beginning, and the whole time I was wondering how they detected radiation so quickly from more than a li...

IIRC, the warp core had [and as a matter of normal operation has] a forcefield around it. It would of course be pure idiocy for that forcefield to be lethally powerful at all times, but maybe O'Brien had something to do with that. As for the contest, Odo's physiology is self-contradictory. He's been...

I figure that Boomer's kid and perhaps all Cylons have some sort of bloodborne antigens, just of a sort that Baltar wouldn't recognize. They must have something, or they'd suffer the same fate as the Martians in WOTW. Since the anthroform Cylons are genetically based on humans, maybe they were all g...

She was created with the same program as S1M0NE. Think about it...have you ever met her in person?

Now that I think of it, it would have been interesting to write Data as a character that had no emotions and had no interest whatsoever in emotions. He would just be a machine which has rules hardwired into it from its creator. Vulcans aspired to this but never achieved it, and in fact never came c...

90 colors? Wow. Yeah, there's loads of colors... some more common than others, of course. Recently (as of 2004) Lego actually made the controversial decision of permanently "replacing" some of the colors that have been around since the very begining... most notably both light and dark gra...

Do you think that the writers avoided it to leave room for more 'exploring humanity' stories, or because they would have written themselves into a corner and had nothing more to say? (I distinctly remember a "tech manual" noting that Voyager was dragged out because they figured that getti...

I think he dies once a season now, usually in the season finale. I saw one recent episode where Stan and Kyle were standing around toward the beginning, and Kenny just suddenly materialized next to them. "Oh, hey Kenny." Can't imagine why he doesn't stay his hypermortal ass in Heaven with...

I think I just figured out how to wipe Red Sox fans from the face of the Earth.
