Re: Scientology vs Wikipedia. Scientology vs France.

Lemme see here,

Definitions of cult on the Web:

* followers of an exclusive system of religious beliefs and practices - yep France
* fad: an interest followed with exaggerated zeal; "he always follows the latest fads"; "it was all the rage that season"- most definitely the French

Re: North Korea

I wonder what China thinks about those nuts in N. Korea? Seems like they might not like somebody upsetting their apple cart since they appear to be doing pretty good in this new economic world.

You guys are as fanatic as some of our hockey fans. Try throwing a dead octopus on onto the field! It will send your opponent to their knees.

Re: Was the Warren Court more influential than the Presidency?

Actually i think we're somewhat on the same page about this. I do agree with you. I put a lot of faith in the Supreme Court exactly for the reasons you mention. I find it interesting that, overall, the justices do seem to put their personal agendas on the back burner and render decisions based on ...

Re: Was the Warren Court more influential than the Presidency?

That's something to think about. But I like to think of the Supreme Court as the branch of government that functions as guardian and interpreter of
the Constitution. They really don't make the laws or issues, they rule if said laws and issues follow the letter of the Constitution in their eyes. Over ...

Re: who was the greatest american president

In regard to Truman, let's get it in the correct perspective. How many of you fought against the Japanese? Better yet, ask someone who did. They are going fast, so you better do it soon. Ask your fathers, grandfathers, and in some cases your great grandfathers. I'm willing to wager that most, if not ...

Even though the Roy/Vernon fights were good memories, I'll always remember Claude "The Turtle" Lemieux. He was public enemy # 1 in Detroit after he cheap hit Chris Draper face first into the glass during the play-offs in 1996. Draper suffered a broken jaw, shattered cheek and orbital bone and had to ...

Re: Surrender button

Even one of the greatest games ever conceived by humans has a resign move. In chess, you're losing and don't feel you can win, you tip your king over and say, "I concede." Game over. Time saved. Set 'em up for another game.

A concede button is a good idea. How many games just linger at the end and ...

If you take all the kids out of public schools, and then give them money towards private schools, the private schools become the public schools. Great solution.

Now you're catching on... only, there is no federal mandate... no federal intervention... the schools are free to implement their own ...

I think only people who live in countries where ice hockey is big can appreciate the energy in a game seven of a seven game series. Just watched the Detroit Red Wings defeat the Anaheim Ducks 4 - 3 in a game seven in the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs. WOW. It wasn't even the finals. Both teams left it ...

Re: The Greatest Horror Movie of all Time

I'm not much into the slashers genre so I've never had much of a desire to pay my hard earned money for them. Nosferatu is a great movie. Good effects from an era where special effects where achieved with lighting, camera angles and editing (and no talking).

My favorite scariest was Alien. I saw ...
