The New Fast And The Furios
I watched em both in Drivers Ed. during summer school, and they were pretty okay (second one just bugged me, with the lack of acting and all). And Bow-Wow? Wasn't he in that movie, Like Mike?

Immigration
Man... the terrorists who hit you on 11/9 flew into your country business class, not jumped in over a fence. Your argument doesn't make any sense. Maybe I should've been more clear? They came into the country, took flying lessons, enjoyed flying in our airlines, etc. My point that I was trying to make was that we've got to be more carefull who gets Visas, Green cards and the like, or else people like them will do whatever they want. And yes, my arguement does make sense if you'd include the rest of what I said. Lax laws on illegal immigration allow for drug smuggling, deaths at the border in the hands of Coyotes, and the unlawfull hiring of illegal immigrants for cheap labor.

anyone with the xbox wireless adapter help.
Call 1-800-4MY-XBOX I've had trouble with recovering XBOX Live account info and my wireless adapter before, and they helped out and I got both problems done in minutes (and the guy wasn't from India :o )

Immigration
That's the fault of the system rather than the immigrant. I'm all for open immigration. The money our governments currently spend on border protection could pay for all the healthcare any immigrants required and still have billions left over. At any rate, what gives anyone the right to tell another person where they can and can not live outside of property they themselves own? While I fully support your right to invite whomever and only whomever you choose into your house, you have no right to say who can go where outside of that. That might have sounded cool in the 90's and all, but I don't think that'll work after things like 9/11. Kinda showed that the US has to be carefull who's allowed in, what rights they have, etc. Sure, the vast majority of illegal immigrants have no intention but to work for a few bucks a day, sell drugs, and squelch up our tax dollars, but we've still got to be careful for illegals with criminal intent.

I think this is one of the best jokes ever
Yeah, heard that one before. If I hear it with pineapples in the end I think straight back to the Hitler Scene in Little Nicky :o

Boy scouts?
I was in Cub scouts/Boy Scouts until the summer before my freshmen year. It was pretty fun, all the camping trips and Summer Camp and stuff, and I got to Star Second class or something. But once highschool came I just thought "wow, this is seriously really lame", so I quit :(

why is everything breaking
I got pink eye a few days ago, end of story :(

Immigration
Immigration and border patrol are pretty big here, 1/3 of all aprehensions in the United States are made in the Tucson Sector (where I live). I'm all for a secure border and everything, but I also think this country needs to reform it's immigration laws (laxing it a little bit), and not just enforcing them more. I can't really be specific though, it's something I really don't know a lot about. All I really hear are the thousands dieing in the deserts to get here on the news, the hicks that wear border patrol hats at school, and the hardcore mexicans-americans that are completely against it. Edit: However, as for illegal immigration, that im pretty much completely against. The US is having enough problems with dealing with it's own citizen's welfare, healthcare, and employement, and it doesn't need to support people that aren't contributing to the economy and paying taxes (bah, but that's an issue with lazy americans too).

Dam joo Ben Franklin! Dam joo and your Daylight savings! <
Here in AZ we don't do Daylight savings either, but it just makes things more confusing :( . For most of all the TV channels, I can never tell if we're gunna see it in Pacific time or Mountain Time (through half the year some stuff comes on an hour late).

Favorite Computer Games?
I've really only played a handful of computer games (my under par system kinda hinders that), but some of my favorites were: Empire Earth America's Army (still play that one) Microsoft Flight Sim 2004 Knights of the Old Republic I-II (played them on console first, but I loved em so much I bought for pc too)

GMU Final Four!
I'd seriously never heard of them before this year, what were they, 11th seed?

Old Jobs you did when you needed money.
3 months in fast food = New car? What Fastfood is this! :shock: ^.^ ~komodo Not a new car :lol: . Basically worked out to 3 1/2 months = 14 weeks 14 weeks X 32 average hours = 448 hours Roughly 5 dollars per hour after tax etc. X 384 hours = $2240 dollars (car cost $1,800-2,000) Worked my but off for it, and it's mine :D --------------------- I'm working again at the local cinema now for about the same pay to keep up gas, food, whatever.

Abortion Opinions (no flaming)
Gaah, reading that just made me wanna punch someone in the face. I mean, i'm pretty much indifferent to the issue until I have to deal with it, and I think it's really something governed by circumstance, but a parasite? No, that's just sick. I mean, there are grey areas to certain things, especially when it deals with something as controversial as human life. Comparing a human fetus to a tick or tapeworm ? :?

Chef Leaves South Park
Well, they pretty much killed him off in the last episode, and just used old clips for his voice. Wikipedia on Isaac Hayes has a bunch of the info, and quotes from Parker/Stone/Hayes on the whole issue. We're not gunna see Chef any time soon.

Old Jobs you did when you needed money.
Fast food, 3 months, lots of money, bought a car, worth it.

Issue in Iraq - Updated Again!
Dude, your point? Is it that we couldn't see into the future? That we didn't have a little crystal ball in the Oval Office that told us things were only going to get worse?

ETA declares permanent ceasefire
I think you know better. When I said I was just being logical, I'm just saying i'm not some avatar of CNN who can't think for himself, and whether I watch the news or not has nothing to do with my logic (a method of thought, not knowledge of what's going on). I mean, you're telling me not to trust the media and all, and then you tell me to search for Oil on CNN? Come on, kid :? PS: Giving me links to Leftist news organizations just as or more biased than any other one isn't going to sway me any. It just shows you're a hypocrite. You smite me for "not being cynical of the media", and then throw me link after link of baised news sites.
-
ETA declares permanent ceasefire
No. I'm not regurgitating things I saw on "the media", I'm being logical. Besides, i'm not seeing this whole big money for the US yet. Gas/Petrol prices are almost double what the were a few years ago and the nation is still in a multitrillion dollar defecit. Show me the where all this money from invading Iraq is coming from.

ETA declares permanent ceasefire
Perhaps you're right... The Korean War was a proxy war... Meaning that foreign powers have something in on it for them. However the situation with the ETA is completely different... They don't have any oil or other natrual resources(If the US was so interested in "fighting oppression" then why the hell do they only "defend" the countries with strategic/monetary value?). They also don't have any political value... I think most people would do the same in that kind of situation. That's why people work instead of volunteer most of the time, they still contribute to community by working, but they get paid for it. What's the point of doing something in place B for someone elses benefit when you can go to place A and you'll be helping yourself and C,D,E etc. It's harsh logic, and it might be tough to grasp, but these countries are being run by humans, and you know how people can be.

Chef Leaves South Park
Maybe he should have gotten the Biggest Douchbag in The Universe award, and not John Edward :?:

mountain trip
It use to be me, my brothers, and my dad would go "roughing it" by Lake Resevior up in the White Mountains for 2 weeks every summer. Up until 2 summers ago we went to that place every year, but now with all the forest fires the past two years, they've had to drain it aaallll up for fighting em. Kinda sad, since one year the lake shrunk by half, and the next year it was just a really really big puddle :( . The deer/elk hunting up there is startin to suck a little bit too.

Issue in Iraq - Updated Again!
No, stop. NOW. These whole past 7 pages you've wrote post after post of stuff you said was fact, truth, evidential. You couldn't back it up, you just attacked everyone else, and now that you're running out of crapola to say, you pull off the "it's my opinion, i'm entitled to it". That's not how it works. I don't even know what to say, I'll just leave it up to Billy Madison... "Kryptic, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

Ahhhhhhhh, read more about it on Wikipedia. I change my mind about the whole respect thing :oops: .

Chef Leaves South Park
Yeah, I watched the Goodbye Chef episode last night. All it was was random Chef clips put in to make him sound like a pedophile. Oh well, at least Hayes is doin what he thinks is right, gotta respect that.

Do YOU believe in God?
Nobody ever said he was born in the winter. We just happen to celebrate his birth on December 25th. We have no idea what day he was born, because the calender we use now didn't exist back then :? . Not until 1,500 some-odd years later.
