you're right! there's only one cause worth lining our kids up in the street for!

can you think of a democratic president who never used violence or force in international affairs on occasion? they're hardly pacifists...

he is a world leader, he is a major figure in world events that directly impact the usa, the religion he represents is poorly understand by americans and thus seeing him speak on it is educational from a social-studies perspective, his is not an evangelical faith nor is his visit to make converts or really even talk about buddhism at all. i'd have the pope into my class as a guest speaker if i could and i hate fucking catholics.

THE SPICE MUST FLOW, bitch! republicans come w/ heart-plugs installed standard!

one of my closest climbing friends is an iranian and very patriotic and thinks his country's regime is idiotic - i don't think he'd nuke israel - regardless, we can't uninvent nukes and saying "you must be this tall to ride the ride" to grown-ups seems self-evidently retarded - iran must understand that, should it nuke israel, it will follow the round-heads into oblivion about 20 seconds later - inshahallah, this will not happen and we can keep on keeping on until global warming or space monkeys finally do us in

it is odd how, after countless revolutions, france and really all of the euros still haven't really embraced the whole "freedome of speech" thing to the same extent as us. now if only we could catch up to them on capital punishment and military spending

did you happen to look at either of the 2 ski tr's in this forum?

if anyone could beat chuck, it'd be wayne

and how the fuck did someone first discover this?

does spraying on teh innerwebs count as active participation? if not, what does?

did the man not ask for mercy from spray? if we're mean beforehand, we don't get such fine photo-genic fodder later!

but isnt' this theoritical democracy in action? a candidate kisses our ass to get elected, and once elected, is in the position of having to put his money where his mouth was? isn't that a good thing? is it fair to call the winner of a mud-wrestling match "dirty?"

as good as "AGILE MAN BLOWS HIMSELF"

good neve making conditions, no?

awwww....not even a little spray?

i thought oil was god?

its important to have hobbies

uh, is there an english version?

the bottom line is still that the era of discovering new, easily developed oil "elephants" is over - its great of course that the spice won't stop flowing overnight, but even this new brazilian find won't last forever, and we're now into the era of having to look into more and more difficult places to get oil

everything i have to say on the subject of good and bad was stolen by perry ferrell: "I am skin and bones, I am pointy nose; But it motherfuckin' makes me try. Makes me try, and that ain't no wrong. I'll tell you why... There ain't no right! Ain't no wrong now, ain't no right. Ain't no wrong now, ain't no right. Only pleasure and pain. Motherfuckin' bad wind came, blew down my home. Now the green grass grows. Bad wind came, blew down my home. Goddamn goodness knows! Where green grass grows there can't be wrong. And goodness knows, there ain't no right! Ain't no wrong now, ain't no right. Ain't no wrong now, ain't no right. Only pleasure and pain. Bumped my head, I'm a battering ram. Goddamn took the pain. Cut myself, said So what? Motherfuckin' took the pain. Said So what? I can't be wrong. I thought so but there ain't no right! Ain't no wrong now, ain't no right. Ain't no wrong now, ain't no right. Only pleasure and pain."

the babel fish killed god

sorry, it's not - it was actually "Demolition Man" i remember the killer taco bell food the movie sponsored http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106697/

hey, dru made me learn something today (and why the hell do you know this, btw?) from the wikipedia-hole: "Raëlism or Raëlian Church is a UFO religion founded by a purported contactee named Claude Vorilhon. On a foundation of accepting the universal ethic, the group is non-theistic, hedonistic, and supports human cloning. Raelians believe that God and souls do not exist; instead they believe that extraterrestrials known as Elohim created life on Earth, including humanity, and through many visits, sparked the founding of many major religions. The Raëlian Church has a quasi-clerical structure with a height of seven levels. At the top is Claude Vorilhon, now known as Raël. Raël founded the Raëlian Movement in Paris, France in 1974 after a large conference. Women are a minority among Raëlians but remain relatively visible when advocating refinement and erotic sensualism as members of Rael's Girls and the Order of Angels. The Raëlian Church has attracted priests and bishops from other religions. About one-third of Raëlians pay dues to the Raëlian Church. Members are asked to follow the Raëlian ideals that speak against the use of recreational drugs, tobacco and limit alcohol to moderation, if at all. Sensuality is an important part of the Raëlian doctrine, though Raëlians recommend a non-contractual agreement between matured sexual partners. Joining the movement involves a transmission ceremony as well as an official apostasy from other religions in recognition of Elohim, as the creators of life from the heavens. Raël founded Clonaid (originally Valiant Venture Ltd Corporation) in 1997, but then handed it over to a Raëlian bishop, Brigitte Boisselier, in 2000.[1] The company claimed in 2002 that an American woman underwent a standard cloning procedure that led to the birth of her new daughter Eve (b. December 26, 2002). Although few believe the claim, it nonetheless attracted national authorities, mainstream media, and young adults to look further into the Raëlians' cult status. The use of the swastika in its original logo halted Raëlian requests for territory in Israel, and later Lebanon, for establishing a Third Temple, despite the creation of a new logo without the swastika. The Raëlians have officially revived the logo with its original meaning as a symbol of peace."

you are part of a long and (not so, maybe) proud heritage outerspace - take 2 nut tools up on a monday and you can build an entire rack after a busy weekend!

probably as difficult as converting pope to clipping bolts actually, if it was one of the churches were by converting i'd be immediately privy to the stable of buxom 17 year-olds i'll be diving into the pew (so to speak)
