  1. YOU like Jimmy Stewart!??? Next you are going to tell me you like the Mets.
  2. I am SO with ya on Its a Wonderfull Life, in fact Jimmie Stewart is unwatchable IMO.
  3. Other than the Robotech stuff, I love it.
  4. Its certainly not my favorite Oak movie. But I am glad you consider it a classic.
  5. Ah.. I just remembered. Breakfast at Tiffany's. That movie is not only so boring, but its portral of Asian Americans is SO offensive.
  6. Think about it... Is there a movie out there that you heard about for years that you just HAD to see, and only to your dissapointment the movie actually sucked. List em. For me the worst one was Easy Rider. For YEARS people told me I just had to see this, it was just "the best movie ever' or some crap like that. I finally saw it like 4 years ago. So stupid, just some bikers who were runnin drugs crusin around the country, then were killed by some NASCAR fans. So retarted.
  7. You had time to miss me, but you didn't have time to update the site. Does this mean that you love me even more than Macross?!
  8. Van Damme is totally awesome.
  9. Uh. . . both answers to the poll praise you. H 357032[/snapback] You are right, this is awesome.
  10. Just like Jesus, I have risen once again. I see however that I am not doing too well in this poll. I see that I have a great task ahead of me, much lameness needs to be driven out of this place. I am up to the task.
  11. Yeah, because Macross World is nothing but flowers, stuffed animals and hugs. ESPECIALLY towards Robotech... 353155[/snapback] Only a few finatics here, can't say that about the whole community.
  12. How does one equate "plain action movie" and Michael Mann? 353029[/snapback] Word. I don't get a MV feel from the trailer, but I totally trust MM.
  13. Helicopter... In space. Don't fret my border hopping indian friend, Southern Cross is the greatest thing ever, I love it with my entire body, including my donger.
  14. Then at least tell us the rest of the story SOMEWHERE!! You gave us a hit of crack and then took it away... I'm shocked there are not more junkies breaking your door down needing to know the conclusion. 353136[/snapback] Well I am in the middle of a contract negociation with MGM... Just think how long you had to wait for the 3rd Godfather... Just simmer down.
  15. What about when Conan cuts Thulsa Doom's head off?
  16. I ditched that thing because the blog software sucked, half the links went dead
  17. Are you sayings you are generally bigger now physically? Or are you competitively talking to Jesus himself and indicating that you are now more larger than life than he was? ( The second is more interesting in an 'eternal damnation' kind of way ) 352744[/snapback] ALL of the above.
  18. an-al-o-gy, think hard 352996[/snapback] Keith has proven his stupidity many times over, but he is totally right on this one. RARELY is a dub good, and I feel often it is soul-less, meaning it isn't what the creator had in mind therefore it is a molestation of the original work of art.
  19. I can forgive the Oak, he is busy saving my state.
  20. No predator = stupid list.
  21. I don't think a charity having faith in the person of Jesus as god, regardless of whether someone would actually agree or not, automatically makes it a "lousy" one if the less fortunate are helped, and if they're lives are improved, and if they do grow in the ability to support themselves. And if their work is based on Jesus's teaching and example in the way he served and healed society's most shunned and rejected, and it does actually restore lives, then one might consider their faith an actual asset to their work. Then again I'm Christian, so I may be a tad biased. Mr. March's assertions worry me a whole lot more if they're true, especially having worked with Habitat before. There have been cases where the destitute have become self-supporting through the work of non-profit organizations. These organizations don't simply offer basic necessities or throw wads of cash at them, but extend education and training so that the poor can better help themselves. Religious counsel and education are also sometimes offered if the organization happens to hold to a certain faith. Much of third-world poverty is a result of lack of education, certain cultural and environmental conditions, and corrupt governments. Those who suffer in the third world are often the most destitute of destitute. But there's an overwhelming amount of evidence that they aren't actually beyond help, and conditions can and have been improved. U2's Bono is a firm believer of that, is deeply involved in African Aid, and actually seems to be one of the few celebrities who know what they're talking about-- attested to by a staunch Republican Senator no less. So here we have a celebrity vocally tackling a social issue. He's addressing the poorest of humanity, those supposedly beyond help. And he's a Christian. That should be three strikes against him in certain books... yet he's backed by someone traditionally associated with conservative empowerment, wealth, and helping the middle class over the bottom rungs of society. What's going on here? Sure, throwing money at the homeless with abandon isn't much of a solution, because more than likely, they will do just that-- squander it out of not having the habits and skills needed to make that money last. But do we cling to that one thought to excuse ourselves from ever showing compassion, or from working to make things better for them in some other form? Do we selectively tell ourselves easy semi-truths to make it easier not to give a damn? Well, at least I know I'm often guilty of that. For what it's worth, Habitat requires those benefitting from its housing projects to put in their share of work on the house they'll be living in. I have to admit that I've wondered if it's the most efficient way of helping the most amount of people with the least amount of resources, but the families that are helped do qualify as low income families. Should we only help the most destitute? Apparently A1 would disagree. Should we only help those who are low-middling class and might be able to build wealth through something like subsitized home ownership? Obviously Mr. March wouldn't subscribe to that. So where do we meet, or do we just shrug our shoulders to all poverty because we can always come up with a compelling reason not to help one group or another? Or maybe there's room to aid different segments of those needing help, and it's not a all or nothing thing... EDIT: Err. That's some neat legoing. Although I would have preferred it if it were an OT destroyer. (Weak attempt to stay on topic, I know.) =P 352803[/snapback] HAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Sundown is now the new Low-vis-lurker. Your post is too much reading. Gimme the executive summary.
  22. Lousy charity? How so? 352710[/snapback] Its Christian. 352715[/snapback] LOL. If only life were so simple. I'm afraid charities are like anything else, lousy doesn't care if you're religious, atheist, black, white, smart, or dumb, it'll nail you just the same 352736[/snapback] Ah, I just figured THAT was the problem you had with it. Remember I live in Berkeley, there religion is evil. I personally feel people should worship me, so whatever.
  23. CROM!
  24. Yeah well we ARE limited by Keith in that regard. His sissy nature is really all he has. 352617[/snapback] Sure, you're the one who enjoys oily muscles, and "I'm" the sissy.... 352882[/snapback] I don't enjoy muscle, I just have it. Actually I think bodybuilding as a sport is kinda sissy. It was cool back in the day, but its just a homo-freakshow now.
