  1. Oh hell yea, my dad went to PSU and I've been a fan all my life. Personally, I think they are the best team in the country. The score doesn't seem to indicate that, but this is the way I look at it. Holding a team like Ohio State to 6 points is right on par with Texas Tech putting up 63 points and Colt McCoy in Texas throwing for 400 yards. It's not a sexy win, but most people forget that football is half offense, half defense. PSU should run the tables and have no trouble getting that number 2 or number 1 spot in the BCS.

     

    Then it's time to prove once and for all that the Big Ten CAN beat the SEC and Big 12

  2. No they are not less valuable. You have the right to vote as much as any of these other a-holes, and your vote counts just as much. Your generation is the most informed, and in this campaign cycle, the most energetic politically in a long, long time. They have no problem sending you off to die in a desert for no good reason, but they'll ridicule you here for being young. They are wrong.

     

    Thank you, in fact that is the very reason that the age of voting was reduced from 21 to 18, one of the more logical advancements in American politics if you ask me.

  3. Care to elaborate?

     

    The Dept of Education alone gets over $56 billion dollars - this in a country in which education is funded locally. That's 50% more than the budget of Homeland Security, twice the budget of the Department of Energy, and more than three times NASA's budget. Tell me - what do you think they are doing that is in line with what they are spending?

     

    What do we have to show for the $56 billion dollars?

     

    Haha NASA? Do you really consider that important? Space...the final frontier...we came, we saw, we left. Of course it's all very scientifically interesting, but it's funny that you would list it among things like homeland security, energy, and education.

     

    Besides, space exploration ought to be privatized.

    Now come on folks, I'm all for letting people do what they want with their money when they earn it but don't go around calling for drastic measures for everyone to fight CO2 and global warming and then go out and spend $ on a Jet fighter for fun that will create more CO2 in one flight than I do all year.

     

    The people who believe in the Global Warming as man made and tell everyone else what we should do to cut down should at least practice what they preach. Fact is they don't. Wake up people, man made global warming fear mongering is just another vehicle used to grow government, grow regulations, and control our lives. The only thing is, it doesn't apply to them.

     

    How do you know the google guys are part of the movement to fight global warming?

  5. At this point your life experience is only valuable to you as compared to say a 50 year old. You have not seen more of the world that your average 50 year The experience of years can not be rushed ,it has to be lived its just a fact of life. Enjoy the ride only one ride per customer.

     

    I've been to Canada, Mexico, France, Scotland,Ireland, Wales, England, Italy, the Vatican, Spain, Australia, South Africa, India, Mongolia, Guam, Egypt, and Morocco.

     

    I've interracted with all different kinds of people in the world, I am fluent or semi fluent in four languages, and I consider myself a better and more well informed person for all of it.

     

    So I understand your point completely, with age comes wisdom, but please refrain from telling me just how much I have seen of the world.

  6. From the most over-rated women thread, you said that you aren't even 20 yet! You aren't even wet behind the ears yet! All you know of the world is the pap they fed you in HS and freshman year in college.

     

    And by the way, I don't just automatically buy everything I've been told by my teachers and professors, I make it a policy to question everything that I hear.

  7. From the most over-rated women thread, you said that you aren't even 20 yet! You aren't even wet behind the ears yet! All you know of the world is the pap they fed you in HS and freshman year in college.

     

    Ok go ahead and use my age to discredit anything and everything I say, I know I can't stop you. But can I ask why there's so much resentment toward young people amongst certain people? Are my life experiences less valuable because I haven't been around as long. I'd hazard to guess that in my 20 years, I've seen more of the world than your average 50 year old.

  8. You're a complete jack-a$$. The primary responsibility of our government is to defend this nation and is one of only a few areas spelled out in the constitution were the government is allowed to collect revenue to support a military. Meanwhile, the politicians have bloated our taxes to pay for things not even mentioned that account for over 60% of our current spending and debt.

     

    I could tell you exactly how many aircraft we have in our inventory down to the tail number, were there located, and how much we spend on maintenance for each one. I work with these numbers and databases all day. So for you to issue that statement with knowledge of our capabilities or lack thereof is plain foolish.

     

    You may know where all the aircrafts are located but you don't seem to know that there's an "h" in where, nor the difference between there, their, and they're. O well.

  9. People who have antipathy toward this nation should just leave. Just back your bags and get out. If you really hate your parents I'm sure you wouldn't live with them either.

     

    Yep, that's what I said. I said that I hate the United States. So typical to try and put words into my mouth. I love America, recognize it's flaws and want to help fix them. When you see something wrong with the institution of the nation in which you live, it is your RIGHT and DUTY to help mend things, not just leave. You invoke the values upon which this country was founded but you forget the most important one. Do not become complacent with a flawed government, overthrow it.

     

    Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Paine, Hale, etc...were unsatisfied with their oppressive government. They didn't "pack their bags and leave" like you would suggest, they did something. But according to your philosophy on those with antipathy toward their nation, they should have remained loyal British subjects, right?

     

    Fortunately, the current situation doesn't merit a war against the government, and aiding what's wrong is as simple as checking "Obama" on our ballot.

  10. Go as Alex the Droog from Clockwork Orange, Always a hit. I've done it a couple of years times, each time I had a more then one girl ask me to "rape" them. It's a party hit an easy to put together.

     

    Yes! Best book/movie of all time, best costume of all time. Just promise me you won't go as the Joker, everybody is doing that.

  11. Wacka, whenever I have anything to say to you or about you, I leave no doubt who I'm talking to or about. In this case I made a generic statement with no specific individual in mind. But if the shoe fits...

     

    And just for the record you have never "smacked" me. During the run-up to the Iraq War you were, just as you are now, one of the most virulent right wing propaganda spewing posters on these boards. I told you then, and I'll repeat it now, that if you truly felt the way your posts indicated you did, you should enlist and put your own life on the line. You responded with your sad tale of woe and I called you a "!@#$ING SPINELESS CHICKENHAWK." You then cried to a moderator that a "Big Mean Liberal Bully" was picking on poor little you and I was warned not to belittle you for being a spineless coward willing to spend other peoples lives - but not his own - in defense of the ideals spoon fed to you by Rush Limbaugh and Fox News.

     

    I realized then that the only appropriate reply to the vast majority of your posts was. is, and always will be, derisive laughter followed by sarcastic belittlement of both you and whatever talking point you just repeated.

     

    Now, if you'd like to take another try at "smacking" me, feel free, I'm in the mood for a good laugh at a brain-dead wingnut.

     

    Hey be nice, he's just going through a tough time with the knowledge that our next President is a goddamn hippie communist radical muslim supporter who trips blind kids and kills puppies with hammers while burning the American flag.

    :thumbsup:

  12. having not read the replies, but you were standing in the shower, presumably naked, and you are thinking about rosie o'donnell??????????????????????????????????? :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

     

    This is how I believe the series of events occurred.

     

    I did some wake and bake then jumped into the shower. While taking the shower, I started thinking about how when the Flinstones took a shower, it was a woolly mammoth that shot water out of its trunk, and I thought about how awesome that would be if it happened in real life. Then that thought switched to me trying to remember what the dinosaurs, mammoths, etc looked like in the movie version. Then I thought..."Hey that movie wasn't actually so bad, who played Betty again? Wait, it was Rosie O Donnell right? WTF??"

     

    so you see, it's not like I got into the shower and pictures of rosie popped up into the old noggin, there was a train of thought there.
