Prime example is when the Jags were losing last season the games were always blacked out because the ticket sales were down. People didnt start going because they cared and couldnt watch on tv. The games stayed blacked out, and the stadium stayed "empty."
This year when they were undefeated we didnt even get one sell out crowd!! Now that they have beaten the Colts I wonder how it will be? My mom is a big Steelers fan, so she bought tickets for that game - but it wasnt near selling out.
How ideal would it be if all fans were like Packers fans? Those clowns, and I use the term endearingly, will fill Lambeau no matter how cold it is, and no matter how bad the Pack is doing. Die-hard.

As far as the other characters are concerned, I dont find any of them to be as accesible as OT characters. In Ep.I the relationship between Obi-wan and Qui-Gonn was pretty good, and honestly I enjoyed many aspects of that movie(though overall I though it bland at best). In Ep.II - it all just seems so mechanical. The master-pupil relationship is nothing like Obi-wan and Luke, nor Yoda and Luke. The most "genuwine" emotion we get is from young Boba...*barf*
And I really must agree that in the OT even the droids and aliens were accesible. I think the C3-P0 dynamic that develops with the different characters is wonderful.

I think that if the Sox lose tomorrow, it could very well deflate them. They wont get another good start from Schilling.
Its too bad though, id love to see them win at Fenway. But I agree with whoever said that the majority of fans just want them to win, it could be on the moon for all they care!

Now, THAT would be cool to see:
Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith!

My faith in the PT might be restored.

Im sorry, I just dont think that Isolationism is effective for a nation. Especially not one as dependent as the US is on foreign "stuff" (for lack of a better category). And I do think that this can change as well. But even if the US becomes self-sustained in terms of energy/commerce/etc. we still have ties to the world.
In the case of Iraq specifically, I think that the UN was horribly inefficient. However, I think that the US could have allowed inspection to continue. And the US could have applied more pressure to its allies in the UN to get the process sped up or tightened up. I just wonder, if we had given them 3 more months and they had come forward to say they had no weapons, and no legitimate components/plans/etc. would we have been satisfied. Would Bush have blazed his path into the Middle East anyways? All hypotheitical, and at this point, truly not worth entertaining beyond that.
I think that the best thing for the US would be to invest more time and effort into the UN. Apply pressure to our allies to get the UN shaped into a tool we can agree with. As a concept, the world needs the UN. In practice, as with many things, the reality falls short of the ideal.

I AM NOT SAYING THAT THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN. NOR AM I JUSTIFYING THE DISENFRACHISEMENT OF MILITARY VOTERS. Im just saying that the case is not as clear cut as some people/reports would have you believe. I know that in my county especially, there are a large number of non-felon citizens who feel their votes were not counted for a number of reasons - the least of which is not race.
At any rate, its sad how far we have spiraled. You would think that things would be a lot tighter this election. Here is first hand experience pointing otherwise. My girlfriend lived in Ohio until about 4 months ago, and she hadnt registered in Florida. She happened to be home last week and went to vote early. When she got there, the people running the poll handed her a ballot without asking for her registration or ID. She voted, sealed the envelope and gave it back. She was never asked for any identification - to prove she was registered, from Ohio, or even old enough to vote!! I just dont understand. It raises many serious questions in my mind about the legitimacy of elections in America.
I certainly hope that the absentee ballots for Pa are counted. It would be unjustifiable if they were not. Regardless, I think this election will be a mess. As somebody else already said, there will be at least one lawsuit. Ive heard from a number of media outlets that America will know by noon on the 10th who the President is. Who knows if that will hold up?

I think anyone who honestly believes that George W. is dumb is completely out in "left" field. (hardy-har) That article already cited most of the situations I would...however, considering the Rangers record while Bush was the owner, I might leave that off the list

And as far as the PT is concerned, the lightsaber battle at the end of PM, are people calling this Duel of the Fates (sorry for my ignorance I dont care much for the PT so ive not invested much time in making myself familar with it).
I was heavily disappointed with the Yoda vs. Dooku duel...thats all I have to say about that.

I guess I have to say, economically im more in favor of Bush. But everything else I side decidedly against him on. So I try to question that economic stuff more. I feel like the only way you can be sure of your stance is if you have to defend it.
The majority of my dissent with Bush comes from outside his economic policy.

Although I think its odd that its been 86 years. And in food-service, etc. to 86 something means to remove it, or nix it essentially. Just thought that was neat.

I think this has been a great thread, though it seems to be losing steam. I think we have all debated the topic very affluently, gotten our views expressed civily, and come to a pretty even ground. Perhaps Ill start a new thread with a new topic, and we can attempt the same thing. Congrats to everyone who posted, this thread has restored some of my faith in humankind as rational.

P.S. Shimraa, please go ahead and post your writing. This thread would be fine, we can just continue in a new direction if necessary, or you could make a new thread if you like. Either way ill keep an eye out.

As for that approximation by Jim (regarding the 5 people who thought the changes were controversial)...Im thinking he and GL have been hitting the pipe a little too much out at Skywalker Ranch. For some reason their heads just arent clear anymore.
Somebody else noted, and its really funny. If only 5 people were upset about the changes...how the hell did it make it into a question...why is there and interview about the changes...weird.

Carrie, even at 19, looked more mature than Natalie and in Star Wars, Carrie's wardrobe was sexier and more revealing. Natalie on the other hand doesn't look like a woman yet. She's still a girl to my eyes and has more of a cute side. As for her wardrobe in the Prequels, it is as revealing as that of a nun.
Personally, who's really hot in the Star Wars universe is hands down Harrison Ford. As a kid, I used to find Mark Hamill really cute but as I got older, Harrison got the nod. He's in fact quite a good looking dude yet not so much to the point of almost looking feminine. In short, his looks is what a handsome MAN should look like.
I agree about Portman, she does seem to girlish for me to consider her "hot." And as for Han Solo, all I can say is, "Who's scruffy lookin'?"
