Yay! I learned a new word today!!

I'm still interested to see, mostly because I do like Russell Crowe. However, I despise these types of previews, where they play several slow-mo actions scenes without effort to elaborate on the story. Granted I know it's Robin Hood and it is a teaser trailer, I just still don't like them kind of trailers.

My wife always got horny watching Brosnan, I'd get the payoff. Not so much since Craig!! Damn you Craig. I could care less about much else to do with this discussion.

I've never been able to sexualize Carrie Fisher, mainly because I grew up with her as Princess Leia, I think in some way she's desexualized, the same way most children who grow up together naturally don't sexualize eachother.

I've sexualized the hell out of her, repeatedly.

Good riddance. I didn't like the new Bond's at all. Craig sucked, IMHO. I liked Brosnan.

Any idea why?

Yeah, Warb's right. We, of course, debated in the politics thread back around the election (or a few month before) and I guess I wore him down to the point he just decided to ignore me. I don't get it because I never harass or do anything to anybody unless they engage with me. I reckon my logic made too much sense and afflicted his ideology. He couldn't take it.

Speaking as someone with no firearms experience which would be the best area to target to prevent this healthcare disaster?

The answer is "c", he is moving rapidly so you want to aim where he will be, not where he was. Also, taking out a leg will not stop him, you need to finish him completely by taking his head off. Of course, you need a decent weapon also which has a sufficient caliber and velocity of bullet.

but wouldn't you aim for an area a bit below C?   I would think you'd less chance of missing if you aim for the chest/stomach area rather than the head.  

Either one wouldn't be bad. Since it would be a side shot, the potential would be higher that you'd hit a vital organ, but there still that chance you could miss his heart. So, I still say the head, always better to aim for the head. Shots the body also could lead to the bad guy having a few moments to react whereas a head shot is instant. I don't think the body is any better a target than the head.

What sort of heat should I be packing for this situation ferris and what sort of ammo?

I would like to avoid hitting the sister if possible.

Also could improvised melee weapons be useful during this crisis?

I would use an AR-15 rifle chambered for .223 caliber, put an EOTech L-3 holographic sight on it and you'll be able to pluck his ass pretty cleanly and efficiently, at least the killing part, I can't promise the aftermath would be clean.

do you really think that Government is as big as the extreme liberals want?

Not today's liberals, no.  But the Gov't is bigger today than some of yesterday's liberals ever dreamed it could be.

Liberals will never be happy until it is a total socialist state.  That's why giving them inches, wherever they may be... is just one more step towards their eventual goal.

I think the Dems ultimate goal is despotism expressed as an oligarchy.

The government is there to serve the people. Corporations are there to serve their shareholders.

This is by far, the most uninformed statement I've heard in a while. A corporation also must serve the people they cater to or they risk losing business and thereby losing money. Have you ever complained to a business? I'll bet you saw results immediately. The managers wages are directly related to income, therefor they kiss the customers ass. Instead with a government, you have no reliance upon your money because it is forcefully taken in the form of taxes. A bureaucrat has no qualms telling you to get bent because his wages are not directly related to you, so who cares, they'll get paid regardless and they do not worry about their "business" going bankrupt because, hey, they can just tax you more!! Unless you actually think the Post Office, Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, and Amtrak are being run efficiently, government has proven it cannot effectively or efficiently serve the people.

“The Free Market is the most transformative of economic systems.  It fosters creativity and inventiveness.  It produces new industries, products, and services, as it improves upon existing ones.  With millions of individuals freely engaged in an infinite number and variety of transactions each day, it is impossible to even conceive all the changes and plans for changes occurring in our economy at any given time.  The free market creates more wealth and opportunities for more people than any other economic model.” - Liberty & Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto by Mark Levin

The only reason I compare Obama to a communist is this: he believes in the redistribution of wealth. I admit I'm out of line here. I mean, what could be less communist than the redistribution of wealth?

 

 

So then was FDR also comparable to a communist? Was I mean how is Social Security not redistribution of wealth? Then again, I'm sure his New Deal met similar resistance in it's time.

Yes, we are extremely against the New Deal!!! It has led us to where we are today and has not been helpful at all. I recommend you read New Deal or Raw Deal?: How FDR's Economic Legacy Has Destroyed America by Dr. Burton Folsom Jr., it details how the New Deal has contributed to our current economic situation and this sense of entitlement our people now harbor. It is not unfairly critical of FDR and does expound on the few good things he did, so take a look at it.

why cardiograms and Ekg's be covered and not stress tests?

You're right, none of them should be covered.

I don't get it,  first you say  Echo cardiograms and EKG's should be covered but not stress tests.  When I ask you why, you change your mind and say none should be covered.   Please explain. 

Nah. Nevermind. Leave it to Dear Leader Obama to decide.

 Like giving free breathalyzers to kids. Available in all 57 states.

He clearly meant 47 -_-....And I like how you guys are comparing this unabashed moderate to a communist.

You honestly think Obama is a moderate? That is insane.

oh yeah, totally reliant upon my iphone 3gs these days.

Oh yes, the infamous Sweeney. That guy was seriously a twisted nut. A man who proved he could not continue in our world with his intense hatred and inability to be empathetic at all. I'm glad he's gone.

Were you saying something Warb?

do you think it will show alot of people firing guns without hitting anyone? 

they'd better.

I've always been able to find the fonts I need for free, not stolen or pirated, just free ones. Dunno what sites though, I just find a font I like and start searching, usually end up with one. Although, I have to admit, it's been hard sometimes having to search forever to get the right perfect one.
