Keepthefuckout.

What the hell is this?

You can't make this crap up. Good God in heaven. Skull and Bones? SKULL and BONES!? Geronimo's remains? Christ on his cross, what in the name of the Holy Gods of War is all this babble now?

Something's wrong, and it has nothing to do with dead Indians. Or maybe it has everything to do with dead Indians and we just don't know it anymore.

Did you know the Indian's sense of time is different than ours? To them, Little Big Horn is still happening and they won't go there because the place is evil. I can think of a few tourist attractions in Germany that are evil and should be fenced off forever. Hell, a few places in America. Andersonville! Cannibalism! Bastard Confederates.

Just imagine, a place so evil it's still happening and no one can go there. Hell, you'd run out of space on the Earth after too long. Too much evil, not enough space to put it all. You'd have to shovel all that shit into a hole somewhere and build a big God damned sign that said "Keepthefuckout."

We don't have enough keepthefuckout signs for that kind of thinking.

How about some useful B.S. for once?

Do you know what would be very un-dramatic?

If we did in fact find intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, only it was just as intelligent as we were. We could look at them through telescopes, perhaps send probes or radio signals, but that would be it. They could send the same back to use, only they'd get out message in a few millions years, and we theirs.

Telephone conversations with one-second delays are bad enough. Imagine having to deal with the possibility of extinction in between messages.

Try making a movie out of that, see what you get. I would imagine we'd forget about those aliens after some time had passed, or until we made a vehicle that could take us there in a reasonable amount of time.

This is why I'm more excited to hear about new developments in space travel than I am place to go. Seems to me, a place to go is just maddening with no way to get there.

However, a vehicle is a little boring an pointless without someplace for it to take you to, so I can see the other side of it. I might be the only one who worries about this sort of thing, but when you think about it, the odds of us finding an alien civilization at the same time we invent a space ship that could travel to it are a little slim.

My opinion, the odds of either happening are nil. I think science fiction should turn its imagination to stories about humans finding a way to live on this planet without using up all the resources. If Arthur C. Clarke and Isaac Asimov can spur scientist to create space ships and robots, I think we need some fiction books about crap that matters, i.e. sustainable energy.

I wonder how this would work with child molesters?

Forget "Texas Justice."

Give me the Iranian stuff.

I'm a little torn here. I the one hand, civilized countries don't do cruel and unusual punishments, but in a case like this, damn would it be nice to see the criminal get his eyes burned out with acid.

Of course, this would be under the same code of laws that lets old men marry prepubescent girls to settle debts, so I wouldn't be too quick to shout "Hell yeah, an eye for an eye!"

The problem with the world's justice systems is that they only kick in once the damage has been done. Very little is done to prevent these things.

Al Sharpton is Crazy.

These people are always good for a laugh.


Of course, you're free to ask "What the hell do you mean 'these people?'"

I think Sharpton and some other modern civil rights leaders are now doing a disservice to the movement. Getting bent out of shape over silly things where the supposed racial overtones are at best debatable, it makes something of a joke out the whole thing.

It gets harder to take real racial offenses seriously when the last thing to complain about was a cartoon in a newspaper. Come to think of it, the last people to whine and moan about an editorial cartoon that got national headlines were Muslim crazies.


"'The Post should at least clarify what point they were trying to make in this cartoon, and reprimand their cartoonist for making inferences that are offensive and divisive at a time the nation struggles to come together to stabilize the economy if, in fact, this was yet another racially charged cartoon,' he said."

Yes, apologize for daring to criticize the government. I thought we had enough of this Bill O'Reily neo-fascism crap.

Of course, they're also complaining about the Resident Evil 5 video game coming out. The main character is white, and the "zombies" which are common to all the RE games are black.

The game is set in African, what color are they supposed to be? And how much do you want to bet the villain behind it all is a white guy?

Congress sucks.

Thank God for politicians.

If we didn't have them around, we might actually something done. Then we'd really be in trouble. Luckily we have the Red Team in there to thwart everything the Blue Team tries to do simply because they're the Blue Team. And kudos to the Blue Team for doing the same to the Red Team just because.

"Obama’s campaign was lauded for its visionary use of modern tools for old-fashioned politics. Through the Internet, it recruited supporters, collected dollars, rallied supporters and organized get-out-the vote operations.

But when these modern heroes arrived at the White House, it was like the lights all went out.
Their contact with their millions-fold supporters was cut off, literally, as e-mail systems broke down and ‘The List’ of political supporters was blocked at the iron gate."

Makes you wonder just what the hell good the White House is if you can't do jack squat from it. Technically, you can do a lot from it, you just need to wipe your butt with the Constitution.

I think we've been side-tracked in America. All of our focus goes into "who's in the White House, who's in the White House, president, president, president, blah, blah, blah."

Congress is the problem. The Senate and House of Representitives, with their powers combined, ruin America at every turn. No one gives a crap about these losers, so no one ever bother to vote their lame asses out of office in their home states. The result is group of Red Team/Blue Team ninnies who either make poor decisions or none at all.

What's the opposite of pro? Con. What's the opposite of progress? Congress.

Oh, and "The Message War?" Does every damn thing in this country have to be a war? War on drugs, war on terror, war on childhood obesity. How about a war on stupidity?

The Chinese are a species of rice. Look it up.

Genetic engineering put to good for once.

I say for once, because the same technology is also responsible for terminator seeds. I'll explain: Corn seed companies engineer their plants to not reproduce after a generation, that way farmers have to come back each year and buy seeds instead of allowing pollination and nature do its work.

And, in case you thought this was just ranting off something I heard in a college class once...

I was just ranting until I Googled the "proof," but still.

They could have been working on a way to make the corn grow faster or yield more, but did they?

What they should be doing is trying to crossbreed corn with some type of mammal or higher primate. That way, once it's old enough, it can basically farm itself. Or at least scare off/eat crows. With some luck, instead of corn, it would grow steak or something.

A plant that produces a meat fruit...what would PETA say to that? I'm sure like most people they would decry the blatant affront to God, but beyond that, would it be a plant or an animal?

It's getting stupid in here, so that's enough for now.
