  1. You're being sarcastic, right?
  2. http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2005-0...way-bride_x.htm If they actually make this movie, my last shred of faith in the American media is shot. Seriously, WHO WOULD WANT TO WATCH THIS???? This is like saying, "hey, lets make up a lie about ourselves, waste a whole bunch of people's time, then make a movie out of it and get rich"
  3. I saw a clip of some senator showing the rest of the delegates what a prisioner at Gitmo typically eats. Man, he eats better then I do....
  4. They need to find something else (which the will) to whine about. I breath stuff like that all the time. I got a lungfull of chloropicrin last year with no ill effects. Oh, except my wife just gave birth to wolverine.....
  5. watch out for Orcs....
  6. I will be renting that movie TONIGHT!
  7. Happy birthday Brandon! We'll drink one at the tailgate...
  8. Before I met the little woman, I tried one of these and I found two things out very quickly... 1. There are alot of porn scams out there.... 2. Most of those girls are flaky as hell, and never get back to you. However, I am glad it worked out for you...
  9. In that case, YES you should watch it. Very intertaining...
  10. See the sticky thread above for discussion to the max....
  11. Best wishes to you Camp. I know you will overcome. I plan on seeing you at the opener...
  12. That is appalling. I believe I have finally had enough to take to the streets!! HOW DARE THEY (WE) SUBJECT VICIOUS, BLOODTHIRSTY ANIMALS WHO WOULD SLIT OUR COLLECTIVE THROATS TO THIS TREATMENT!!!!! BROTHERS UNITE!!!
  13. Change the record dude....
  14. Only in Amerikkka would something like this happen....
  15. I don't mind them making this, what amounts to a token gesture, in public. What bothers me is those who think the US should apologize for everything else, like bombing Japan. That makes no sense....
  16. SHHHHH! Not so loud. A movie exec might hear you!
  17. Haven't you heard? That's old news, now we are focusing on some little white girl missing in Aruba, Jennifer Willbanks, Michael Jackson, and that little country girl that won the most recent American Idol...
  18. The same thing happened last year to the Panthers MB on their main site...
  19. HAHAHA! Good luck. Remember, the government's only interest is to protect you from yourself. You and all the gullable young people out there who pick up a cigarette because they don't know that they are dangerous....
  20. Here are the FACTS. In order to win a RICO lawsuit you must prove ALL of the following: 1. That the companies accused willfully mislead the public about the dangers of cigarettes. 2. That they are likely to engage in such behavior in the future. Take a quick peak at this, and tell me if you think they can win: http://www.philipmorrisusa.com/en/responsi...ing/default.asp Face it, the government is trying to extort money they have no right to. They made money on cigarettes DURING the period of time they claim the companies were misleading the public!!!!! Here are some other factoids for you to help you understand how the government is trying to steal money from the tobacco companies: FACT #1: Studies linking cigarettes to lung cancer received wide attention in the early 1950's FACT #2: Surgeon General warning labels began appearing on cigarette packs way back in 1966 -- thirty eight years ago. FACT #3: In 1972, warning labels began appearing in every cigarette ad -- well over thirty years ago. FACT #4: Since then, hundreds of thousands if not millions of public service announcements, newspaper and magazine articles, television and radio reports have exhaustibly covered the link between smoking and cancer. Oh yeah, the government's lawsuit covers profits obtained from 1971-2001. Funny, based on facts #1 and #2 above, you would have thought that any reasonable human being with and IQ above a retarted clam would have figured out that cigs are bad by then....
  21. The fact of the matter is, people are going to smoke no matter what the health risks are. Yes, it is totally true that cigarettes are addictive and dangerous, but these days Big Tobacco freely admits these facts. A lot of research has gone into making "reduced harm" products. I test some of these, and let me tell you, they have almost negligible levels of PAHs, VOCs, Phenolics, Carbonyls, etc. The problem is, they don't taste all that great. It seems that taking out the nasties in cigarette smoke reduces the flavor quite a bit. There is an electrically heated cigarette on the market that produces almost no second hand smoke and has almost none of the constituents listed above. You put a 72 mg "cigarette" into a lighter device. The problem is, other than the reduced flavor, is it takes away from the "smoking experience". Smokers are just as addicting to the act of smoking as they are to nicotine. You last statement, did the execs lie, I don't and cannot know for certain. They might have, in fact they probably did. But anyone who has lived on this planet since the 1960's knows that no one is currently saying that cigarettes are good for you. It is IMPOSSIBLE for the government to win this case.
