I always said it would take someone dying to get me to step foot back in this shithole, but dammit, Martin! You didn't have to volunteer as tribute! We didn't always get along back in the old days, but man did I respect the hell out of you. I am truly going to miss our arguments. It seems just yeste...

That's been a problem with both of the nuTrek movies (I was not a fan of Old Spock showing up in either movie). They keep getting drawn back into the old Star Trek, instead of letting it stand on its own as a re-boot. And virtually all of the tension in the re-treaded death scene was drained by the...

Has somebody checked out if that isn't just darthy/marsh#/tremors etc. again trying out some new shtick by emulating the mannerisms of the guy enigma's mentioned? His babelfish-style writing aside, he's arguing in a very similar vein as darthy did. Nope, he's the real deal. He's been a member of AS...

I've put the word out at a couple of other boards I frequent. 2 of which are very large and have a lot of their members on the east coast.

Ok, I put up an announcement at ASVS, is there any other information I should include?

I'm not sure if any of my members know him, but Enigma put a thread up about him too at ASVS. I'm going to put up an announcement as well. I'll also see if I can get one of the DJs on Subspace Radio (Star Trek Online radio station) to mention it as well.

While it may be satisfying to say you aren't going to get out of the car, etc. it's not the most effective course of action. The best way of dealing with a situation of abuse under color of authority, is to comply, make DAMN sure you're in the right and you do everything that was asked of you. Then ...

Under the strict definition of the word. However, the word civilian is also heavily used by police and media when describing police/citizen events. Common, yes. But highly inaccurate. With that in mind; what does that have to do with this thread? It's a pet peeve of mine, and I enjoy nitpicking.

[quote="Kamakazie Sith"] If you wanted to talk about civilian distrust of police then you should have just talked about that instead of implying that handcuffs are brutal. [quote] By definition, police ARE civilians. In fact, in the US they have to be. Posse Comitatus precludes the militar...

Fractal, I rarely post here, but Jason L. Miles linked me to this particular thread. I have to say you do some truly impressive work. I hope this gig works out for you.

Oh dear lord. You really can't read, can you? I don't think anyone there thought what they did was good. I certainly didn't. Now you're a liar too. Yeah that was awesome Yeah. And also, I have the good sense not to piss off 4chan. Unlike some idiots at SDN who just HAD to poke them until they respo...

Trolling is permitted. Sock puppets are permitted. Pretty much anything that doesn't violate my big 5 rules goes. This also makes me a less appealing target for those who want to cause problems. (Why would you bother trolling a site that doesn't give a shit?) You are certainly free to run your own ...

Your harboring rejects from from both SDN and SB who find it hilarious that a bunch of people were literally forced to see child pornography and then blames the victim like a bunch of conservatives would a rape victim that had the audacity to be female at night, whether you realize it or not, does ...

So exactly what purpose was served by calling Mike a control freak? Or how about, "what SDN consists of is the very worst aspects of alt.startrek.vs.starwars, stripped of it's redeeming qualities"? Your bullshit about not trying to compete makes you look like a two-faced liar, considering...

:lol: Just look at the name they're using. They actually want it to be like a social club. They might as well proudly put up a banner saying "We all think alike and we're proud of it". Ironically, they accuse SDN of being a community of like-minded people. And they are not entirely incorr...

Glad you're pulling through it, Nitram. I knew you were too stubborn a bastard to let something like this take you.

Damn. I really hope he pulls through. If I didn't live on the other side of the country I'd go see him. Get well soon, Nitram.

Well, let me put it this way. Government has necessary functions. Providing for the common defense, maintaining infrastructure, and keeping people from killing each other and robbing each other blind. Going too far outside of that is asking for trouble. That's all. Let me put it this way. You are w...

People who actually take Rand seriously don't realize that: A) All of her complaints against government apply equally to human society itself. B) The entire concept of individual rights was invented by society, and has no meaning outside of it. The common Randian view of individual rights competing...

You fucker. You nearly made me spill coffee on my new laptop.

Happy to be of service.

I feel pretty repressed in my safe, secure, wealthy situation with various guaranteed rights and amenities. It's just like the Nazis! :roll: Best part? This guy has a hilariously condescending attitude (fantastically common among these people) and the only other posts I've seen is where he failed a...

What is this "net effect" and why there is "no difference" in various forms of government? Do tell me. I thought I made that plain. I suppose not. They generally hold significant power over the personal and financial lives of the individuals they govern. Tyranny, or at least opp...

Oh christ a randroid. Tell you what, if you think that you're really better off without a government I have several African countries you're more than welcome to visit that have zilch as far as legitimate government is concerned. Not really. Some of her ideas were extreme and kinda disturbing, but ...

Uhh... the fascists were innately opposed to the socialists. The communists didn't try to keep the market afloat with bailouts. Glenn? Do you not understand anything from history, you stupid bastard? My first assumption was that rolling Fascists and Socialists together was a clumsy effort to evoke....

Extra points would have been given if he had been in full costume.

It's Timothy Jones. I'd bet on it.
