There has to be oil or metals in Greenland or something, right?

Melissa tried to do a new show, Blockbuster, that wasn't very good, imo. It got cancelled after 1 season so someone was probably just being nostalgic about when she worked on a good show.

It was definitely the CD and 32X coming out in quick succession. Then also here is a completely new game system. Just throw that other crap away. I heard that Sega of Japan wasn't communicating with their American counter parts that well.

Sega Saturn was good and so was the Dreamcast, but those bread crumbs improvements beforehand made it feel like a cash grab. Shame too, since I was on team Sega.

You're getting down voted, but I agree with you. I think we are too close in time to get an unbiased process now at wiki. Most things take time to remove emotions and be able to look back with a critical eye.

I couldn't ask certain questions about the 9/11 attacks because it seemed I was being unpatriotic. That I might be friendly with the terrorists. It's like no, I just think the middle eastern man (from Iraq) working at the Eagle Mart didn't have anything to do with Saudi Funded terrorism.

I floated the idea to someone that we should make police unions responsible for any legal payouts when a cop is found at fault and there is a civil payout. The police won't hold themselves accountable and they don't even have to pay the fines. The tax payers do. Making the police unions pay would give them incentive to actually cut ties with bad cops.

I was told that was a terrible idea and the fastest way to bankrupt the police. I didn't see the problem.

It's not like anyone was held accountable. Why wouldn't they bide their time and try again later?

Yeah I ruined his delivery with my text. You described it much better.

Well....Who died and left Aristotle in charge of ethics?

Plato.

I didn't have high hopes for this show going in but I was extremely pleased. The jokes were clever and the story telling was clean.

Every military movie, or movie that has military assets in the movie gets them for cheap (if not free}. The movie just has be get cleared as okay from the military. Don't want to send the wrong message. It makes pro-military movies easier to make than something a bit more critical.

As a Marine (got out many years ago), most of us don't give a shit. Some did while they were active duty, but it was only when other people brought it up to get a reaction from the Marine. There are still some loud Marines that would say something just to be loud. We come in different flavors of annoying.

While I was recruiting, I was called a soldier by a few teachers and parents and it doesn't matter. What matters (to me) is the intent, most people are making an honest mistake. Some are trying to get a reaction out of you, I might respond if it was a bit friendly, but I mostly ignore it.

Being called a Marine instead of a soldier, is part of the brain washing. It helps point to something and say "That's why we are better. Marine is a proper name and should be capitalized. Also don't put your hands in your pockets. That for the nasty Army to do and not the Marines. We get held to a higher standard."

Why wouldn't they trust Fox News over their own eyes? Fox News is the most trusted name in news. At least that's what the viewers get told when they come back from commercial breaks. It's not like Fox would lie to them. They are the most trusted name in news after all.....

Circular logic at its finest.

I'm just using your story as an excuse to promote Bobby Fingers. Check out a diorama on the confrontation.
