All im saying is, its not black and white. And the number of people who feel that we have a President that the majority didnt elect is hard to ignore. Not to mention that the Supreme Cournt essentially made the decision on who would be Commander in Chief. That doesnt sit well with me. But in my opinion the electoral college is flawed as a concept, and deviates from the true democracy that our nation was founded on. Give me one reason why we need anything other than the majority vote. Count them up, write them down, its black and white. Why create these arbitrary values and have middlemen. In the purest sense, its not democratic.

Thats why we are a Republic not a democracy.

With warnings of the attacks known to have been ignored, spurious claims of tenuous links to Iraq and trumped up charges of WMDs despite denying UN weapons inspectors to do their job you have to wonder whether a lie about a blowjob is equal to lies that result in death.


Ignore intellegence. Where do you get he stole the election. Did you want a thousand other recounts. They counted it like 5 fucking times and George Bush won. Micheal Moore you have been discovered.

Hopefully soon we will be living in a world where John Kerry is the President of the United States of America and your great country can get back on track and regain the respect of the international community that monkey-boy Dubya has pissed away in the last four years.


I always hated Bill Clinton. The way he raised our taxes ruined my childhood. The way he lied to the country under othe and stayed in office sickened me. John Kerry feels like Clinton to me. Though even I doubt he will be as bad as Clinton.

Hey guys check out the new debate. Much better then the last one. Bush did a much better job. Kerry like before weaseled around the truth and distorted his record but unlike before Bush took a strong offensive. I also wonder where Kerry comes off saying Bush has a timber company. I was laughing my ass off. Kerry did pissed me off when he said that abortion was a constitutional right. Really I would love for someone to pull up the line in the constitution that supports abortion. Kerry also said that he has a plan. Strange it used to be called the Bush plan. I can't stand he critisizes a war he voted for. Says we need better intelligence. Kerry voted against increasing intellegence funding. Every line Kerry said is filled with incosistancies and lies. I would never want to watch a movie written by John Kerry. It would have more plot holes then Dragonheart 2.

Remember the sexually suggestive lines from the original Star Wars trilogy...

'Get in there you big furry oaf, I don't care what you smell!'

'Luke, at that speed do you think you'll be able to pull out in time?'

'Put that thing away before you get us all killed.'

'You've got something jammed in here real good.'

'You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought.'

'Sorry about the mess...'

'Look at the size of that thing!'

'Curse my metal body, I wasn't fast enough!'

'She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid.'

'I thought that hairy beast would be the end of me.'

'Size matters not. Judge me by my size, do you?'

'There's an awful lot of moisture in here.'

'That's okay, I'd like to keep it on manual control for a while.'

'Hurry up, golden-rod...'

'I must've hit it pretty close to the mark to get her all riled up like that, huh kid?'

'Possible he came in through the south entrance.'

'And I thought they smelled bad on the outside!'

'Control, control! You must learn control!'

'Hey, point that thing someplace else.'

'I look forward to completing your training. In time you will call me master.'

'I never knew I had it in me.'

'There is good in him, I've felt it.'

'Hey, Luke, thanks for coming after me -- now I owe you one.'

'Back door, huh? Good idea!'

'She's gonna blow!'

'I think you'll fit in nicely.'

'Rise, my friend.'

'Wedge! Pull out! You're not doing any good back there!'

I don't mind getting joked on. I joke on other people all the time. I love jokes. It bothers me that I write things that are such ovious jokes and people take them seriously.

HD-DVD vs. Blu-Ray

I really havent been following the whole Blu-Ray vs HD-DVD thing, I have read a few things and my impression was Blu-Ray is ahead of HD-DVD as far as being released, but while I understand that this forum is mainly focused on how the technology relates to movies and their releases you have to realize that with technology like this its ability to take hold of the market is going to be based on more than just its video quality.

For instance, Jimbo keeps repeating that even though HD-DVD can store less data (roughly 30 gigs vs 50) that due to its encoding it can hold more/better quality video. While this may be true I have to ask/offer, doesnt the encoding in and of its self hurt the quality...Im honestly not as up on the video codecs (or even audio ones for that matter) as id like to be, so i dont know, is MPEG4 a lossless compression?

But even still, this technology spans more than just movies. People who are more in touch with the pure computer side of this technology as I am will much prefer a 50 gig disc compared to a 30 gig disc. Albeit the price point has to be comparable. Im sure most of this information is known already, but the point im trying to make is that i think blu-ray is a more versitile format.

Im not backing or making a claim that Blu-Ray will win over HD-DVD just that in my opinion its more versitile.

Darth Simon

ps..mainly to jimbo, but also cause i didnt see it in this thread, Blu-Ray will be supporting MPEG4 according to their site http://www.blu-ray.com/faq/#1.8 sure its their PR guys saying it, but its kinda hard to lie about that kind of stuff without it biting you in the arse


The arguement that a better codec would decrease resolution is total bunk. In my opinion Blu-Ray is the winner. Before I have always supported HD-DVD because of the advanced codecs. Now that Blu-Ray has adopted those codecs Blu-Ray is the winner. With both VC-1, MPEG-4 and 54 gigabits of capacity a Blu-Ray should hold as much as 20 SD-DVDs while an HD-DVD holds as much as 12. Both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray have the same improvement in picture and sound and its a dramatic one. A total of six times as many onscreen pixels. Not only better then DVDs but also multiple improvment over HDTV. Thats greater then the difference between DVD and VHS which has amazed the populous into phasing out VHS. Both formats support lossless codecs with litterally 20x the sound of convensional doby digital. However HD-DVD supports such amazing picture and sound with the same playback times as SD-DVDs do. With its higher storage Blu-Ray could have that great difference in picture and sound but with almost twice as much playtime as current DVDs. With that we can fit entire high definition movies on a single layer with all the extras you need on the other layer. Expect in 2007 for a 6 disc Blu-Ray set of the Star Wars saga with all the extras you need and picture quality that will blow you away. Not to mention more changes but thats another discussion.

Alright..."Changes in 2004 DVDs" thread, look for your post from Tue July 06, 2004 12:52 PM, and the next 15 or so posts.
Its page 22 for me seeing 20 posts per page.

You cannot do it in real life, so you do it online?? That's almost as 2-faced than Kerry (I say almost only because Kerry is moronic enough to do it all the time in real life).


Yes but I am not running for President of the United States. Kerry is incosistant on important issues. I am just someone who loves jokes and Star Wars.

Earlier you went on a tirade in which you dropped a f-bomb in practically every sentence.

Let me ask you something else:
Have you ever, ever seen me use foul language on this board??

No. You probably haven't, and you won't ever. About 99.99% of the time, I can get my point across without resorting to it.

Foul language is, as it says, foul. It is, itself, offensive. You offend and show disrespect to everyone here, male or female, when you use it.

Yet you insult me for not having respect for them.
Well, perhaps you can earn some respect, by showing some respect.


I believe all my insults have been directed toward abortionists man or women. I believe I have made a very clear distiction between abortionists and good decent women. So what about foul language. Thats what I love about talking online. You don't have to impress anyone hear.

I forgot to mention another flip flop Kerry made: he wants to improve our relationship with Euro countries. Why the hell we care about their oppenion? (sp?) Our commander and chief is going to nuke France and that's why I respect him - its a great stratigery. He knows his job.
Now excuse me, I'm going to nudie bar.

(Thats a whole different debate). The thing is, there are people who dont like the candidate, and dont like the two-party system. And there are people who are not US citizens who are glad they dont have to make this choice. Some people seem really comfortable with the "lesser of two evils" thing. I personally, am not.
It makes me miserable that this is the first National Election I get to participate in. I love America, and I love the concepts of Democracy and equality it was established on - but man, im telling you that its going down the shitter politically.
If you are pro-Bush, thats splendid. Im not. I dont think war, for any reason, is ever right. And yes, that does make me a pacifist. AND NO, it does not make me ok with things like Sep 11. (Once again, I digress into another debate).
I really think its unfortunate that it boils down to a two-party election. Where I wager that a high percentage of people feel like we, as Americans, lose no matter who wins.

Personally I have a strong disagreement with Bush on the Patriot Act. So I don't love everything about Bush. Still John Kerry voted for the act as well so no points for Kerry on that score.

I hate Rap music. Look at the things we hate thread. Rap really hurts my ears. So I should call someone those things even if they deserve it. Next you will be saying its wrong to call Osama Bin Ladin a terrorist. I see abortionists as dirt. Both the women who want them and the doctors who preform them. They did the most dispicable thing a human can do. Yet you insult me for not having respect for them.

Hmm by that logic we should have not invaded Germany after Pearl Harbor. Japan invaded us not Germany. However we recognized that Hitlar was just as great a threat. Ok saying Saddam was as bad as Hitlar is going too far. But he had the same basic mantality to a far less extreme level. The world is better off today that Saddam is in jail. 3000 people were killed and when it happened I was so glad Al Gore was not President of the United States. I am glad we have a president who is willing to take it too them and not sit there and wait to be attacked again. Strange how liberals are for killing innocent babies but against killing convicted murderers. Saddam killed far far more of his own people then Bush did. The Iraqi people want to be free and I am sure they are mostly just as happy as I am that Saddam Hussaine is out of there lives. Sure some innocent people died but that happens in every war. Its a sad fact of life but something liberals have to unfortunitly accept. Nothing can get accomplished if we think like that. Someone won't benefit from everything no matter how good it is but in the long run society is better for it.
