If you don't trust those around you, perhaps the military isn't the best thing for you.
Well see that's what makes me think it might be overconfidence. I've been thinking the exact same thing (taking my time, as I haven't signed my contract yet) and I realized that there is a disconnect, to me, between having to trust someone to not detonate an explosive device in my vicinity, and having to trust someone to help me keep other people from killing me.

You could apply this to driving, or even walking on the sidewalk. Every time you go out, you're trusting that the other people on the road are skilled enough not to run you down. Or that if they're not, you're skilled enough to avoid them and save yourself.

The only thing offensive about the Obama Special Olympics thing was that he was actually expected to apologize and that the special olympics president did a dog and pony show about forgiving him.
Seriously, what? People look for things to get offended about. The very fact that there are "Special Olympics" means a group of people have set themselves aside as "Different". And that's OK. Obama was just saying he'd probably fit better on the Special Olympics team. God.
I'd rather he apologized for taking campaign funds from AIG.
Weren't a lot of the donations to Obama from "questionable" sources just regular joe employees? I don't know about the AIG money, but I remember they brought up him taking money from oil companys more than McCain and the more money came from the 9 to 5 set and not CEO's.

I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

I only follow politics insofar as they appear on Headline News in between the hours of 6am-7am. They said he and another politician were the two top recipients of AIG funds. *shrug*

Usually they claim that because he got a ton of janitors and 9 to 5 types. If the ceos were dropping that money they'd lead with that.

I don't understand how an individual donation can be claimed as a corporate donation?

I grow tired fo these arguments
demographically speaking Obama's donations from AIG employees are not out of the ordinary for the region. Nor is there any indication they were made with expectation of political favors.

Person A from company A can donate their maximum allowable amount under their own name, but when you have 500 people from company A (or all of the upper management) doing it, it's a little more suspect.

Because the news media isn't always honest and if I work for so and so and donate technically so did my company because they pay me the money I donated.

It's all bullshit, the man was elected with one of the biggest small donation campaigns ever, so of course people from a wide walk of life donated and shockingly big banks employee a lot of fucking people.

Not an arguement. I didn't know they counted contributions that way. That's retarded. What retard decided to count them that way. It's either an individual or it's a corporation. When I see "AIG Funds" I think that the finance department, under the advisement of a board of supervisors, has cut a politician a check directly. Not some desk jockey in operations giving 5 bucks. That's shady as hell.

Nothing in Animaniacs holds a candle to the stuff they got away with on Ren and Stimpy.
That being said kids today aren't exposed to enough edgy stuff like we were. Dora the Explorer? Come on. Yes the kid can say snow cone in 2 languages, wonderful. The animaniacs taught songs about states and countries and managed to do it while being edgy and entertaining.

And do you think those kids in Red Dawn or Toy Soldiers would've survived by watching Ben 10? Heck no. G.I. Joe: If you want kids to save you from communist invasions or hostage situations, you better show it to them.
I'll be honest, I found Ren and Stimpy disgusting and puerile. Even the character designs and animation made my skin crawl.
Oh definitely. That's why it was great at 8 years old.
Ah okay, I thought we were doing that thing where people say they honestly enjoy the cartoons now and how good they were back in the day. You know, the kinda thing they'd do in the transformers thread. But I'm all for reminiscing, Pokemon? Was so good, though I think it was bit late for most of you guys. On the downside, it did introduce an entire generation to anime.
Few years ago now (actually more like 6 or 7 at this point) a friend of mine set out to assemble a compilation of as many Star Wars related songs as possible. Eventually titled Greedo Shooting First it contained:
1. Supernova - Chewbacca (1:48)
2. Broder Daniel - Luke Skywalker (3:24)
3. Bloodhound Gang - Fire Water Burn (4:51)
4. Jamiroquai - Use The Force (3:59)
5. Bentframe - Star Wars Gangsta Rap (3:05)
6. Dow Jones & The Industrials - R2-D2 (4:20)
7. Organized Rhyme - Check The OR (4:13)
8. Butter 08 - Degobrah (2:03)
9. William Ether - Red Leader (2:30)
10. MC Chris - Fett's Vette (3:20)
11. Blink-182 - A New Hope (3:44)
12. Meco - Star Wars Theme (3:34) [Hidden Track]
I've been starting on a similar project of my own but thus far only have two tracks. I am trying to find songs related to the Doings of science. Preferably ones that explain some kind of scientific principle.
So far I have Entropy by MC Hawking and The Big Bang by Barenaked Ladies.
You homps are all into the musics and the whatnots. Any suggestions?

Oh most stuff from the late 80s and 90s was terrible as far as acting or anything else for that matter. My only point was it had more bite. I'm more hung up on the pussification of modern children's entertainment.
The only saving grace is that the stuff that is good these days, is really, really fricking good. JLA for example.
