  1. Uh, hate to break it to you, but that's wrong. The pledge was actually altered to include "Under god" during World War I (Or it could have been II... or Vietnam...) anyway, it was one of those wars. The president at the time felt that it could bond this nation. So, while this nation was founded by Christians, it was also founded by those with different views and beliefs. Also, as Thrawn stated, the British were having other issues at the time. In addition to this the colonists understood the lie of the land, greatly outnumbered the troops in some areas where the British were garrisoned, employed cut-throat strategies, and had the Valley Forge thing going (Lot's of drunk Brits). Not to be a jackass to anyone who's British, but they were set up very poorly to deal with a revolution at the time. In addition, seeing as the country was primarily pro-British, it was very difficult to pick out those causing trouble and organizing riots. Sorry, Rob, but you were way off.
  2. I can't figure out how to download it... And so the stupid, computer skillless one aks help of those who speal computer. /me bows down and worships. It keeps saying something about a server wait time when I try to download... I have a the most recent version of DivX, I just can't download....
  3. Whatever... I still say that he looks way too much like a clown.
  4. Well, being one of the minoritys, I'll say this. Picture that your standing in a school full of atheists. no one actually says the pledge, its simply said over an intercom during which everyone has their hands over their hearts. And instead of "Under God" the pledge now says "With our own true faith, for there is no god" what would you feel like? Sort of reversing the situation. Penty of people (fools in my opinion) claim that atheists should simply not say that part of the pledge. Got news for you, its still basically saying "HEy, look at all the Christians your surrounded by, ya mionority! Be a Catholic or Christian or you're a terrible person" at least, that's what I get. This is strictly my own opinion, I'm not trying to convert people to my ways, just stating my feelings on the matter. people feel that these words are fine becasue they are biased in their favor, so it doesn't seem like such a big deal. The same thing happened with slavery. Slaves were a minority, and wealthy land-owners saw the system as being all good and fine- the slaves, who didn't agree with the system and really had no voice dissagreed. While this isn't the same situation by any stretch of the imagination, I still feel that there is some lack of religous tollerance in the pledge. Oh, yeah, and Aenivae, Satanists would probably find under god offensive. Ithink that they see the nation more as over Satan than under god. Though I could be wrong. Its sort of like saying that this nation is under Shiva (God of war and destruction) to a Hindu person... At least I think its Hindu...
  5. That's what federal banks are for... Hense my avatar. I'm a social outcast, so I can not rate movie whore Still, thee's always the "Reading whore"...
  6. Oops. My bad, there... Still, I'll have to remember that accidental flash of realisation. I've always wanted to read a book or something where I main character dies in the middle of the story... The beginning works to, but not if its in a trilogy. THen its painfully obvious when someone "Disapears" at the beginning of the book. "Gee, i wonder if they'll come back!" You automatically know that they'll be a conviently arriving good guy, or an increadibally powerful bad guy (More so the latter than the former). Still, good story all the same.
  7. Which thread would that be?
  8. Oh... I guess I kinda shoulda figured that one out. Maybe its a sign that I have a cleaner, purer mind than everyone else... Or maybe that I'm just stupid... Most likely the latter.
  9. What did you do on the way to the first 500? Personally I took the "Caboose" approach, which i to say something weird and have a bunch of people in thread put "/me stares at Tofu" or "What the hell is wrong with you, Tofu?"
  10. lol, always funny to run into your teachers outo f school when they're drunk... Aparently at the end of the year during a faculty party one of my eighth grade teachers got really drunk. The other members put a football helmet on him, put him in a canoe, and told him to paddle out on the nearby lake, calling the football helmet the "Special Hat". THey then proceeded to hit golf balls at him. He didn't move from his spot for the entire barrage. Now that's drunk!
  11. I would direct your attention to the scene in which he finds out Darth Vader is his father. Enter "Clown-face Luke". I swear, if you go to the circus you will find people who look just like him!
  12. I opt for number three! THough accordng to genetic information and all that jazz, girls actually do have a better memory than guys in most cases (MOST. I like to consider myself a regular Kirtan Loor ) Also, Luke was born first- something's wrong with that, amigos at Lucasfilm. Maybe it was really the Tatooine air which had an odd affect on Luke so that he took after his father more than his mother. Living on Alderaan, which is very peaceful like Naboo, Leiah was more attuned to her mother. My support is that Mark Hamil sucks at acting just like Jake Loyyd and Haden Christianson.
  13. 1) What the hell is a "flusey"? 2) The village pod racer? Now that's just cruel 3) You left out watto as being the father! 4) Jedi can tell when you lie, as mentioned in one of the Stackpole books (I believe that it's Dark Tide: Ruin). 5)... No clue. Five just seemed like a nice round number to end with. Maybe I believe that the force manifested Anakin. There we go. Force-rape just seems weird to me.
  14. Same goes for Atheists and all. I swear, I told a friend who didn't know that I was atheist and he said "huh? Then why don't you dress in black clothes and skulls and shit?" Yeah, he's a dumbass... Atheist and goth are two different things, buddy. So just saying, atheists aren't all cranky, mean people. moving into less sensative turf- what does everyone think of the guy who's trying to get "Under God" out of the pledge of alliegance?
  15. Are you using word perfect? Because that program's spell check can be very annoying. (You had several words in the wrong place, such as 'steal' being used as a building material) Also, a bit of grammatical advice- it's always a new paragraph when someone different is speaking. Sorry, but I always say that when someone fails to use paragraph format for a large quantity of text (If I show up at your house and strangle you, its nothing personal). Next up, you had a bit of repetition that you don't want. Things like " As Kreshonion battle group turned to face them anti missile batteries launched on all of the Kreshonion ships." Replace the second "Kreshonion" with alien, maybe, and you can eliminate that which repeats itself. Just some pointers on better writing styles. Otherwise, I liked how you introduced a character early in the story, making us expect them to be a main character who would go on to live, because they're a main character, and 'woo look at me, I'm always in danger, but I live each and every time!' I liked that you just killed them all. Death and violence- always good in a story!
  16. I don't think so. I think that all of Alderaan would have said "Hey, when did the Organas, leader of our entire frickin' planet who appear on the holo net almost every day have a baby? Oh well, must be a real, natural-birth child." Just plain wouldn't work. Though I have to wonder why Alderaan decided to de-militerise itself when one of the Rebellion's leaders was living there...
  17. To make amends, the teacher was not drunk. Apparently he was just on some heavy pain killers. I don't know why, the kid who explained it to me mentioned something about issues at home, but I found out that the 'cut' on his hand that he claimed to have recieved while shaving (Didn't make sense to me either) wasn't really a cut- I think he had pain killer drugs in there. He sobered up at the end of school (Maybe ran out of meds) and was his usual self in the end, so all is well.
  18. Ah. I can just see what would happen with an abusive parent that beat their children Father (while hitting self): Dammit, stop playing these stupid games! Go out and get some exercise! Father (Now crying): I don't wanna! Mario is too much fun! (Proceeds to beat self while crying) But no, for a long time Star Wars trivia was the most advanced Star wars game in the market for me. None of you ever have/had those ancient Macintosh computers or the AOL disks with all the games? Dang, we got the stuff in Cuba on a military base- I'd think that you guys would get it!
  19. Hey, I'm in drafting right now, and my teacher (I shall call him Bob to protect his identity) is drunk or stoned or something. Its really frickin' funny, and he's changing people's grades if they tell him that he put down the wrong grade for something. He has 70s music playing (Its 'decades day' for spirit week). Anyway, its really freaking funny since he keeps threatening to send us to the principle's office, and everyone knows that he won't. A couple of kids took powdered cheedos and put it on his desk when he left to make it look like crack. I'm not going to be too surprised if he tries to snort it when he sees it. Yeah, just funny as hell and I thought I'd share.
  20. Dude, give me a break- the only video gaming system I have besides a PC is a PS2 with one game (DDR) that my family got all of about two months ago. My parents dislike any and all video game systems because apparently they will keep their children inside and sitting on their arses all day instead of going outside to run around in circles to get some exercise. Consecuentially we stay inside and read.
  21. Pretty good, though really, really short. And I think you messed up your character's name- is his last name Michela Or Michaels?
  22. Jeez, I was teling you to go out and buy one. They're only, what, 500 bucks, right? Yeeshko!
  23. Oh. So like, what, an N64 or something? Or just all Nintendo games in general?
  24. Just take pictures of your non-digital pictures with a digital camera and then load them and send them to us!
