Wish I could upvote ten times for enforcing precision of speech. Can't stand when people don't think about the precise meaning of their words. So I pretty much can't stand most people, most of the time.
I can't tell if your talking about Galloway or the other guy? At first you seem to be praising Galloway for enforcing clear speech, but Galloway is the one dropping the context of the speech since Ahminedjad must pause immediately after the line to wait for the cheers of "Death to Israel".
I'm talking about Galloway. We're talking about precision of speech, not taking all things into context.
But then Galloway is the one being imprecise because whatever specific grammar Ahminedjad may have used, the entire crowd he was speaking to clearly understood him to be referring to Israel. More over, he smiles approvingly at the calls for "Death to Israel" that follow. In that light, I think the context is much more important than the precise choice of words.

My biggest pet peeve in this regard is someone who makes a clear error in grammar, context, or quoting, who then says when corrected "Well this is how I use it and grammar evolves according to usage." Literal-mindedness combined with ignorance: the marketing victim mentality.

The concept of a Canadian cop overreacting extremely harshly to words is not lost on me. I know why police are necessary but I can't fucking stand to be around them. For the most part they really are power-tripping assholes.

You should visit this site:

The torrents don't work so great, try mirrors 2 or 3 for any of the downloads. I sometimes play this through my HT receiver in Dolby Pro Logic mode, which does a nice job of surrounding me in arcade ambiance.

Ah, that noise....you know, all the attract modes playing at once. I miss that ambient noise.
Buddy, if your point is "people have differences which are the cause of conflict", then you have no point at all. My point is simply that atheists don't exist as a group in the same way that people of common religious affiliations exist as groups. Therefore, atheists have never ganged up and killed en masse in the name of atheism.
Yeah, Christians were persecuted by Romans. Last I checked, the ancient Romans were not atheists.
My point is that calling religion the cause of historical conflicts and atrocities is as ridiculous as blaming atheism. The real world is extremely complicated and explaining disasters like genocide as being done "in the name of God" is more ridiculous than talking about atheists as a group.
Get it through your head. Atheists are not a group any more than people who dislike peanut butter are a group. That's why they are "insignificant." There is no "they" there.
Like Dawkins says, everyone is an atheist, it's just Christians have a hard time when people take it one god further.
Grouping people's common attributes is really all one can do, be it peanut butter preferences or philosophical beliefs. Look at how many people in history with a common dislike of peanut butter got together to kill peanut butter lovers. None. Then look at how many people in history with a common disbelief in god have gotten together to kill those who did, and vice versa.
My point has repeatedly been that religion or lack there of has not been the root cause of violence in history, but intolerance of different beliefs has been. Whether it is a common belief there is a god, or a common belief that there isn't, both have been abused by bad people in history to breed intolerance and kill other people.

I remember a funny cartoon in my university newspaper about this song... it ended with naked Alanis thanking random things.. "Thank you bagels, thank you monkeys." I remember getting a big LOL out of it at the time.

Welcome to my growing list of shitheads. I get really absorbed in movies and so the reason I haven't seen it yet is I was waiting for the right night when I could get properly absorbed in something a little smarter. I'm busy so those times are rare. Someone with Kubrick as their avatar should have more respect for that concept. So go fuck yourself, please.

You're welcome. The movie has been out for six months. I'm sure you'd be upset if someone ruined the end to Citizen Kane, too.

Can anyone explain how Clayton knew the Counsel for UNorth was behind his assassination attempt? And also that was a spoiler, just FYI.

Yes, but in a friendly way. I have posted stupid clips of young idiots playing with Movie Maker too:

I'm sorry, are you calling me a jerkoff for posting this?

OMFG I want to punch the kid in the face, with his stupid blase delivery. Way to post the result of some fifteen year-old's first experiment with Windows Movie Maker, jerkoff.

I think you're right Sylvester. Episode 1 has the best use of sabers. The opening twenty minutes of this movie is also quite good, especially the very opening on the trade federation ship. The suckage starts with Jar Jar's first appearance, but the Gungan city and the Jedi's passage through the underwater core of Naboo are some classic Star Wars if you ask me. Things get truly shitty once Anakin shows up.
One thing I hate about the prequels is how every single character who shows up in eps 4-6 is somehow tied to the events of eps 1-3... worst offences being:
1. Darth Vader created C3PO
2. Yoda knows Chewbacca
3. Obi-Wan killed Boba Fett's dad
