STEVE!

Though if I'd know this was the agenda I would have gone.

Originally posted by Winged Outlaw I'm voting for Bush solely because I think it'll keep the guys who are fighting happy. Intriguingly, in the very article you cite, the guys who were fighting in Vietnam - the ones Kerry commanded - say this: "In contrast to the commanders, all but one of the ...

Kindly get your facts straight.

Which ones? Kerry did serve; he did receive the Purple Hearts.

And the article you cite doesn't claim that "all" of Kerry's commanders are criticizing him, Cap'n Facts.

Originally posted by Winged Outlaw Go out and talk to the troops, those who have been in Iraq, are going to Iraq, or even if you can find contacts, try and write a letter/email to those who are in the country right now.

I just read the original Captain Britain stories with the Fury for the first time yesterday, and, Alan Davis or no Alan Davis, I think he's a poor choice of villain for the X-Men. The whole point of the character is that he kills superheroes. It's his purpose in existence, and in the CB stories he's...

Y'know, Bamfette, I read the Aunt May scenes a bit differently. [spoiler]I think she figured out who Spider-Man was when he rescued her. Peter seems to be trying to disguise his voice a bit, but I don't think he fooled her. She seemed to know just who to give her "The world needs heroes" s...

Originally posted by Bamfette and we have the big bad religion thread in Off-topic antics, i fail to see how we should not be allowed to speak of politics if we are discussing an equally touchy subject of religion.

Well ... that's one way to look at it, thylacinie. Sometimes, though, as a parent, you have to make choices about what's best for your child. And they're not always clear. Should you encourage a kid who's different to fit in, so he'll have an easier time? Or to take the lumps and find his self-confi...

Originally posted by Maelstrom From what I can tell, he filed suit in 2000, before he had any concern about his potential child at all [...] In Newdow's Original Complaint , made in March of 2000, he files as the "next friend" of his daughter. ("Next friend" is legal terminology...

Originally posted by Maelstrom If he was her father in the eyes of the law, this would have been a defendable position, but he wasn't. No matter how much love exists between them, Michael doesn't fit the legal definition of father. Newdow is this child's father, both biologically and legally, and n...

Maelstrom wrote But as this woman is a born-again Christian, I can't imagine her willingly having her child out of wedlock [...] it's more likely that he couldn't have been bothered to go to a JP and get legally hitched before the birth of his daughter Newdow's wife became a Christian after the chi...

But here is my thing... the girl who thought that Mary was a pregnant teen in trouble called her a "whore" and that made me upset.

This girl's problem is a lack of manners, not a lack of information.

Two of these are commonly-known dietary restrictions, which makes you wonder how insular people can be.... A company's giving out holiday hams?

When I was your age we didn't sass our elders via the Internet! We used the phone.

Ever play Freedom Force? If not, you're missing out - great Silver Age-feel superhero game, sequel due out in the fall ... Anyway, The Minuteman's teen sidekick, Liberty Lad, would intermittently shout "I'm itchin' for a tussle!" Oh how I cringed.

I roll my eyes when they announce their names. "You have defeated Ororo Munroe ... but you cannot defeat STORM!!!!!"

Bamfman, if you'll post what the poll should have been, I'll see if I can fix it.

Originally posted by Maelstrom I think the seat of this isn't so much their disdain of religion as their disdain of any type of authority. Or, just perhaps, an ill-informed reaction to Christians putting the Ten Commandments up in public buildings, "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance ...
