Re: SWTOR
Oh well.
Still, I'm hearing the sound effects of the blaster weapons in my head now so I'm going to look into fixing my laptop screen and getting stuck in.

The above ontological example models the zero premise to BB theory. It does so by applying the relative uniformity assumption that the alleged zero event eventually ontologically progressed from the compressed alleged sub-microscopic chaos to bloom/expand into all of the present observable order, more than it models the Biblical record evidence for the existence of Jehovah, the maximal Biblical god designer.
-Attributed to Buzsaw Message 53
Moreover that view is a blatantly anti-relativistic one. I'm rather inclined to think that space being relative to time and time relative to location should make such a naive hankering to pin-point an ultimate origin of anything, an aspiration that is not even wrong.
Well, Larni, let's say I much better know what I don't want to say than how exactly say what I do.

Iran will never claim a part of Sinatras world
us is the United States, the people who claim the necessary oil that they require and who will never give control of such a region up to some imaginary Islamic Empire. Today, there was another article: |Iran says U.S. warships in Persian Gulf spawn 'mayhem'
The bottom line is that Iran has not the power nor the authority to close the strait of Hormuz unless they wish the wrath of Allah himself and 200 million American gasoline consumers backing such a strike.
quote:
Cmdr. Amy Derrick Frost, spokeswoman for the U.S. 5th Fleet based in Bahrain, responded at the time, "Anyone who threatens to disrupt freedom of navigation in an international strait is clearly outside the community of nations; any disruption will not be tolerated."...and....After Tuesday's warning from Iran, a Pentagon spokesman issued a statement saying "deployment of U.S. military assets in the Persian Gulf region will continue as it has for decades."
The United States has had forces in the Persian Gulf since World War II. Its ships sail through the Persian Gulf frequently, many on their way to and from the 5th Fleet's headquarters in Bahrain. The 5th Fleet's area of responsibility covers about 2.5 million square miles, including the Persian Gulf, which the Navy also refers to as the Arabian Gulf; the Red Sea; the Gulf of Oman; and parts of the Indian Ocean.

While the 'pew pew' of a blaster rifle is nice, the 'wown wown' of the lightsabers is particularly exciting to me.
But on top of all that, the music in this game is just amazing, as you're approaching something important... the 'bump-buh-budda-buh' starts kicking in, or when you're fighting and the combat music starts.... yeah man, like I said its a fantastic game.

Re: SWTOR
yes, and i think too many Americans are taught only to play games and never take the responsibility of leading the world seriously. But I digress.....

Re: Iran best watch its step
Excuse me?
Stop and think.
One plan put forward by both the US and the EU is to embargo Iranian oil, so it seems that both the US and the EU seem to think they do not need Iranian oil.
Do you know how much oil the US buys from Iran?
And the topic was a nuclear Iran. What does a nuclear Iran have to do with oil?
And exactly how do you assure Iranian oil (that we say we won't buy) gets sent to the US without invading and occupying Iran?
It really sounds more like "the US better watch its step".

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

In today's news, the White House has denied that the CIA ever teleported Obama to Mars.
You know what this means, don't you? It means that Buzsaw is going to have to believe that they did.

But what about Mercury, or Venus...or one of Mars' moons? Doesn't this denial just mean they must have teleported him somewhere else?

Not necessarily. Two or three percentage of it is reliable.

Re: Obama Reliability Factor
Do you realize that, since you change the subtitle text, the "Re:" bit is unnecessary and could be construed as disingenuous as it implies that the subittle text you superimpose is the subtitle text used by the post you are replying to? Just saying that it (potentially) subtracts even further any credibility you could ever possibly hope to garner.

One very cool frog
quote:
Color-changing FrogCredit: Stefan HertwigCalled Rhacophorus penanorum, this tiny frog species, whose males grow to just 1.4 inches (3.5 centimeters), was discovered in Gunung Mulu National Park, Sarawak, in the Heart of Borneo. Also called the Mulu flying frog, the amphibian has a small pointed snout and is unusual in that the species has bright green skin at night but changes color to display a brown hue during the day. Its eyes follow suit to change color as well. And while the minute animal may not fly with the birds, it uses its webbed feet and aerodynamic flaps of skin on the arms and legs to glide from tree to tree.
More cool here.

This thread seems to be a waste of board resources. If people want to talk about obesity or anything else I think they should start a topic on that topic.
Just having a thread about anything seems to be counter to the purpose and history of this site. I did not just give a thumbs down because I knew I would be accused of randomly attacking chuckie(I am sure I will still be accused of it).
This thread again shows Chuckies unfitness for moderator as he is missing the whole purpose of the site.
Maybe the majority disagrees with me and if so so be it. I think if people want to just chat they should start an IRC channel. I am sure it will attract a few people, even myself.
