  1. Wal-Mart can do whatever it wants and it will never affect its business. They've brain washed the public into thinking they have the lowest prices, when in actuality that isn't the case all the time. The media controlled society we have today brainlessly shop there and take the shitty customer service because they truely believe that they are getting the best deals.


  2. http://kotaku.com/5340053/surprise-playstation-3-price-drops-100

    In a move that no one could have possibly anticipated, Sony announces a price drop along with the news of the PlayStation 3 Slim, with the current 80GB system dropping to $299 until replaced.

    It almost doesn't seem worth it, really. The PlayStation 3 slim is right around the corner, selling for $299 with a 120GB hard drive, so why buy the 80GB system for $299? Well, it's bigger, and you might be able to grab it in a bundle if you play yor cards right? Either way, it's your $299 PlayStation 3 option until the Slim hits early next month.

    Not mentioned during the press conference, a quick call to GameStop confirms that the 160GB system has dropped to $399 as well, so if you've been holding off on picking one up, now is the time.


  3. Just figured it'd be cool to have this thread on here ...

    The Thing - I love the 'ttrrroonnngggg trrroonnngggg' old school theme a the beginning of the movie heh, but it's pretty gripping with a no-nonsense script, and it gets better and creepier till the end.

    Twelve Monkeys - Under-rated, and Pitt's performance is his best to date, imo.

    The Thing is probably my favorite horror film ever. The special effects hold up to today's standards, and the suspense is just amazing because you never knew who or what was the thing at any time. The end was fitting as well.


  4. My mouth feels like shit. I'm on oxycodone for the pain. :o

    I think it took a little less than an hour, but I don't remember any of it. I remember them testing my blood pressure and setting it up to monitor my heart rate, then putting an oxygen tube on my nostrils, and then putting the needle in my arm. I started feeling slightly disoriented and then I remember an image of of a door and the blazer... and then I woke up in the blazer in the rite aid parking lot throwing up blood. :barf: Two of the gaping holes in my mouth stopped bleeding last night, but other one kept bleeding all night and it didn't stop until this morning when I put more gauze in my mouth and left it in there for 3 hours. I can't open my mouth any larger than a half inch and holy crap my mouth hurt yesterday. Even now it hurts like hell, but compared to yesterday this is nothing. *takes more oxys*

    X'D Sounds similar to my experience. Fading in and out of reality all day. Bleeding all night. And cant open your mouth barely to swallow the pills.


  5. But please spare me the Hitler argument. Your lousy fact about comparing Saddam to Hitler is a joke.

    Seeing as I spent many years studying Nazi Germany, and the simple fact that the Ba'ath party was based off Nazi Ideologies and Structure.. I'd say Its a pretty good comparison. Do you know how Iraq came into existence and why its always been as fucked up as it been? Or the entire middle east for that matter? Trust me, you wont find an adequate explanation on Wikipedia.

    I care about war casualties? What made you think that? War is war, People die. Collateral damage is a fact of life, and yet people get their panties in a wad because the US "dropped a bomb on an innocent village". So? Its war, it happens. Yeah its terrible, but the weak stomached society we have today, its as if we should drop the cause all together because some civilians died as if that's never happened in any war before in all of history. What happens when this cause is truely important?

    Of course the numbers are different when it comes to the suffering because of the sizes of population, but a lost 10% of the population, its no where near as devastating as losing 40% of your population. That's the point I was trying to make. And overthrowing a government and occupying a country is not the same as diplomacy with nations seeking partnership. Bad comparison.

    The majority of people that were "stuck" in New Orleans, chose to stay there. The buses left and they had to get in the dome because even more would have died if they hadn't. The entirety of my dad's side of the family lives in New Orleans. I go there regularly and actually know what the population it like. Yeah, Old and sick people get stuck. But anyways, I think I was speaking of government programs to help the poor and homeless, not disaster victims. That's a bit different. New Orleans is recovering just fine from one of the worst recorded natural disasters in history. Along with the gulf coast of Mississippi which actually got hit worse than New Orleans.

    Hmmm, I just re-read this and I fail to see where I said anyone was lazy... I did say they chose to stay... but nothing about being lazy. You wonder why I can't apparently grasp some concept based of something you've made up that I've said? I've pinned most as making a choice. Which they did, like you did. The difference is they blamed everyone but themselves over the risk they took.

    So to make a generalization, you have to meet every one of them? Well then I guess we can toss all those stats out the door, and anything that anyone has ever said about the poor and homeless. What you said, What I said, and any informative article every written because obviously no one has never met every single one of them. fancy that eh?

    Yeah, I still stand by my glass structure statement. That isn't the first time I posted that statement ;)

    That's really all I have to say about the topic. You can think I said this and that all you wish. I'm not speaking in parables, everything is meant for literal interpretation.


  6. Oh yeah, A junior in high school signing up for the military... that would have worked... I state an actual fact and you proclaim to know what I believe? :P I mean he was a goody two shoes, him and his sons were kinder than Santa Claus to his people. He only wanted to take over the entire middle east and all... Genocide against the Kurds? no biggie.

    Those who do not learn from history are only doomed to repeat it. No one thought Hitler would take over all of Europe and half of Russia. As he slowly and gradually pushed the envelope and broke the rules, everyone just sat with an attitude just like that. He did speech after speech about his future conquest. Over 6 million innocent people were sent to their deaths, not counting the millions of lives lost in the actual war.

    Btw US stays in Japan for our own personal gain. Much like our many other over seas locations we've staked claim to forcefully or not. Strategic advantage for our World Policing ya know? Don't want to give up the upper hand.

    And I can go on for million different directions but it'll never be that most poor majority wants stay that way unless you met every single one of them.
    I see, so you have met every single one of them and know that it will never be eh? The majority of people that were "stuck" in New Orleans, chose to stay there. The buses left and they had to get in the dome because even more would have died if they hadn't. The entirety of my dad's side of the family lives in New Orleans. I go there regularly and actually know what the population it like. Yeah, Old and sick people get stuck. But anyways, I think I was speaking of government programs to help the poor and homeless, not disaster victims. That's a bit different. New Orleans is recovering just fine from one of the worst recorded natural disasters in history. Along with the gulf coast of Mississippi which actually got hit worse than New Orleans.

    I've lived in 5 different states and spent a good bit of time in 3 others. The same guys that have been standing on the interstate exits with signs over the past 8 years, the homeless guy that sits outside the place where I work, the woman that has a kid every year to feed off WIC... these are just a minute part of a massive list of people I've seen or see every day. I'll take personal experience over selectively believing what media outlets say. Statistics can be made to say anything you want them to say, and if you've ever participated in a government or political poll you'd know pretty well how they are structured.

    The media covers what they want too. Thats how we get our stereotypes. Reality is so much different. Believe it or not, most people in the south have all of their teeth, go to college, and don't live on farms. They don't have a heavy southern accent either. However, most people outside the south watches the TV and sees the toothless guy in overalls being interviewed. Mississippi is really the only state you'll find a large group of people like that. The same goes for all aspects and topics. Yes our media downs N Korea and Iran. I'm sure their media has plenty good to say about us. What do you really expect?

    Lastly, according to your percentages almost half the population of N Korea is starving. 10% of ours is... now we should cut our spending, but they shouldn't? hmmmm. Land is just land, but people make up a nation. Thats why you build diplomacy and friendships with powerful nations. A nuke is not a defensive weapon. Oh... and Mexico is invading us for the record X'D

    JOLIET, Ill. – Drowsy spectators in one Will County courtroom might want to stifle their yawns. A 33-year-old suburban Chicago man is facing six months in jail for yawning in Judge Daniel Rozak's court last month. Clifton Williams will serve at least 21 days for stretching and yawning as his cousin was being sentenced for a drug charge.

    A prosecutor in the courtroom at the time described the offending yawn as "loud and boisterous." But Williams' cousin says it wasn't "outrageous."

    Rozak found Williams in contempt of court and had him jailed on July 23. Six months is the maximum sentence judges can give for criminal contempt without a jury trial.

    Williams has written his family that he can't believe he's in jail.

    wow...


  8. hey, that reminds me of pre-emptive strike against iraq. you know how silly those americans were when they thought iraq was secretly planning to destroy america? or was it the free handouts to iraqis that we went to war for? i'll take warning shots over unplanned invasion anyday.

    Yeah, we're such a evil and sadistic nation, why does anyone live here anyways? But its actually OK for N Korea to pre-emptive strike a peaceful nation that has little military power of its own? "Warning" shots for what? The Resurrection of the Empire? Or is that "twisting your words?" :P

    Sadaam never vowed revenge on America, never kicked out the UN inspectors, and never violated the terms of defeat from the Gulf War. Thats mythical too. An unjust war, doesn't change the fact that he had bad intentions. Whether he ever would have had the means to act upon them is another story.

    I don't have to read peoples minds because where I live, I see that people choose stay that way, and don't really care to better themselves. I actually live amongst them. When you put a statistic on people they become a faceless numerical value in which all are equal losing all individuality. I have family and know people that works for these programs. Like I said, they're are a few unfortunate souls, but the majority of them are leeches, and raise their children to be the same way. In fact these people are responsible for the number of children in this category because they keep having them even though they cannot afford them and expect the government to take the bill.

    Just think about this, There are homeless people in D.C. that are more wealthy than you and I. They have no problem living this way because people just hand them money every day and they don't have to pay the government or state any taxes.... an extreme and unordinary example of a small percentile but 100% true.


  9. Lobbing missiles into the ocean in the direction of the Japanese... Its no secret that they want to take N Korea by surprise.

    Greed is right. People starve in the US because they choose to. We have many programs to help people like this. Half of them shouldn't even exist because of they are taken advantage of. The guy on the street with a sign wants beer, not food. I don't feel sorry for people like that. Granted there are a few unfortunate souls, most of them just don't want to help themselves... they're just looking for a free handout.


  10. :picknose:Ratings must be really bad for him to say such things...

    Nah, The way American TV works, the more people hate a guy, the more they watch his show to criticize him. I can almost guarantee that 50% or more of Glenn Beck's viewers hate him and everything he stands for. I'm sure he knows this or else he wouldn't be so outrageous and off the wall most the time.
