Mr. Muggles is the destroyer of worlds. 
Heh, Jackie was buried in her cheerleading uniform. Figures. Seems to be the only thing she cared about outside of judging people. |

| Ryan, I have the same thoughts on marriage as you. Seriously, with how high the divorce rate is (1 in every 3 marriages fails, and it's very quickly about to hit 1 in 2), I feel it's best for most people to hold off on marriage.
Now, while I'm not marriage-minded at the moment, my argument in this thread is that marriage should be available for all humans who seek it (I'm excluding bestiality/interspecies-love, sorry). If a man and a woman, two men, two women, and even to a further extent of two men and one woman, two women and a man and so on and so forth, want to tie the knot, that's their business how they sort it out legally. Now personally, I'm not a fan of polygamy. Most people, no matter how open-minded they claim to be, do resort to jealousy and chances are it'll end in divorce anyway, but if 3+ people want to make that type of commitment and legally-bind themselves to multiple people, again that's their bag. Now on gay marriage, by saying that one couple can marry while another can't exercises inequality. |

| Before, if I'm doing the laundry at home. As I'm putting it in the machine, if it's at a laudromat.
Have you ever had to bathe a small child? |

| A few people--The cast and crew of Heroes, Kevin Smith (Yeah, TERRIBLE pic of me), Lucy Lawless, Jason Lee (I appear on the 10th anniversary edition Mallrats DVD asking him a question), Bruce Campbell, Kevin Sorbo, Gina Torres (I met her when she was on Hercules and Xena, well before her time on Firefly), Richard Kelly, Zoe Bell (Lucy Lawless' stuntdouble on Xena. She also double for Beatrix Kiddo in Kill Bill, and starred in Grindhouse), Neil Gaiman, and a whole mess of comic book writers and artists (Stan Lee, Robert Kirkman, Marc Silvestri, Jeph Loeb, Scott Kurtz, Christina Strain, etc).
I've randomly bumped into people like Joss Whedon and Roman Dirge. There are a few more people, but then it starts coming down to your definition of fame (Internet video people, obscure artists, bands, people in the news, indie film people, local legends, etc). EDIT: I'm a dork, here's the answer to Vulkar's question. Yes, I do, but I don't own any guns... yet. I've only shot off those that belong to friends of friends. 
Are you currently sick? (Last edited by Rogue on 10-06-08 01:59 PM) |

| Yeah, but I don't think I'd enjoy doing things like going hunting. Shooting at a target and seeing how well you did is pretty fun, though.
Personally, I don't really get the liberals who want to get rid of the right to have them. I feel that a person should keep it locked up and unloaded so kids shouldn't get to them and shoot themselves or their little friends, but I also feel that you should be allowed to shoot someone breaking into your house. It's absolute bullshit that a burglar can sue you and win for invading your home and getting hurt on YOUR property. Have you ever fallen out of a tree? |

| I'll take Chuck Norris. Would still live to fight another day.
Odd fact: I studied shotokan-style martial arts at a school founded by a guy who was one of Chuck's many teachers. There were pictures of a really young Chuck Norris in our dojo with Ed Hamile, our school's founder. Would you rather be sited for drunk driving and doing a little time in prison, but no one go hurt OR would you rather run over someone, but keep driving and are never caught and you read in the paper later that you killed a local firefighter who was a single father with multiple kids he'd adopted depending on him? Again you're NEVER caught. |

| All right, this is exhausting. I also both love and hate the show. And this episode steered me a little more toward hate. Again the episode was Peter/Claire-centric with touches of Sylar.
And once again it's a future in which Nathan dies. Well at least Kinsei's back. That's a plus. Last week's episode "One of Us, One of Them" had a few scenes where Hiro and Ando track the speedster thief, Daphne, to a silent movie theater in The Warner Grand is currently the home of my former Rocky Horror Picture Show cast, Midnight Insanity. Some of their props made it on the episode. 
The jukebox Columbia sits upon during the Time Warp can be seen to the left. 
Frank N. Furter's throne and Rocky's tank can be seen behind Hiro and Ando here.  (Last edited by Rogue on 10-07-08 02:11 PM) |

Do you have a friend who calls your phone at all hours just to say something stupid? |

Originally posted by Cyro Xero My thoughts exactly. At least when I voted for him in the primary I didn't feel like I was choosing the lesser evil among many. I was going with someone I believed in. I, however, will not be giving my single, popular vote to the dream team of McCain/Palin though. Doesn't really matter who gets my vote anyway. My state ALWAYS votes democratic when it comes to electoral votes. |

| I'll take the eye. Problem with that though is I'd probably never get anything done as I'm so easily distracted as it is.
Have you ever been labeled a teacher's pet just because you were really good at a class (you knew all the answers, you raised you're hand a lot, you liked the class and everyone else hated it, etc)? |

| Coke. RC has a weird after-taste for me and seems to a higher syrup to carbonated water ratio. I also prefer Coke to Pepsi.
Have you ever collected something you really didn't care about? |

Originally posted by Elara That fucking bites. Hope you get out of school soon. Midterms? I've got a HUGE one next week for my American studies class. The midterm is worth 40% of my final grade, the final is worth another 40% and class participation is worth 20%. Got a fuck-ton of reading to do this weekend. Well, if you want to hang out at any time to help ebb the situation, Brandon and I are up for hanging out if you like. To keep on topic, fuck close-minded liberals. I make ONE comment regarding people's incessant picking on Sarah Palin for superficial reasons and I've been all but crucified over it. Look, I can't stand her either, but if you're just going to call her an idiot for her saying "nuculer" instead of "nuclear," and not attack her stances on the issues, you're just as bad as every close-minded conservative who falls back on the Bible to prove every point regardless of modern logic.

| I watched the first one that McCain was trying to get out of so he could "rush to Washington to save the economy."
Here's a rundown of it ala Lois Griffin. McCain: "Senator Obama doesn't get it. I've ALWAYS been a fan of Ronald Reagan. Obama doesn't have my experience." Obama: "I never said that, John, and you know it. And that's all going to change when I'm president." McCain: "Experience. Reagan. Experience. Experience. Obama's wrong no matter what he claims. Experience. Reagan." Obama: *Names off U.S. military officers in Iraq he "just spoke with"* "And that's all going to change when I'm president." McCain: "Reagan." *Spooges* Obama: "And that's all going to change when I'm president." Moderator: "Whoa, we actually didn't go over on time." |

| At least it's a take home. Good god, I wish mine was a take home.
No open notes, use 7 sources plus the book we had to read. Analyze each source and write REALLY well. Professor Perez went to UCLA and insists that CSUF students should be "held to the same standards." She gave us two questions, one of them will appear on the exam, but it will have a surprise conclusive part that will also need to be tied in. Write it all in an hour. That's Monday. Wednesday's the "short answer ID" part that involves questions based off of all the reading with questions on obscure parts to make sure you've been reading. I think what puts a rather annoying sting on the end of this is that she thinks she's funny. She brags about her being a know-it-all in college who read everything just so she could jab at people in class and declare how wrong they were to make them sound stupid. During each class for the last 2 weeks she's mocked that we all look scared and how she wishes she were young again to take such a test with us. Well, I guess that rant has been welled up in me for a while. Fucking a. Originally posted by Astrophel It just needed to be said, I guess. |

| I can't make heads or tails about that, though. Why is abortion still being discussed at all?
The right for it is there already. A Supreme Court precedent like that can't just be overturned because a president said so (although Bush and Cheney's urging on several issues might have one believe it could happen). Or is it the anti-choice people who keep pressing the issue? |

Originally posted by Vulkar in the subject line Never said I liked him. Actually I'm between voting for Cynthia McKinney or Ralph Nader. Like I've said in previous posts, living in California, my singular popular vote counts for nothing as my state is already locked in for Obama (which is a shame because being locked in right away means the candidates will focus less time on us and put all their concentration in the swing-voters of Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania--looks like this year's swing states are West Virginia, Missouri, Indiana, and North Carolina). Obama, while I do consider him a better candidate than McCain, is a sacrificial lamb who spouts of change and hope but is gaining much of his support from those who want to get a bad taste of the GOP out of their mouths. People are concerned about the war and McCain changes what he says about our situation there every time he gets up to the lectern. The scariest thing he's said, though is that the U.S. should maintain a 100-year presence in Iraq. Who wants that? Getting off topic here, so here's my thoughts on this "partial-birth abortion" topic. I gotta go with Ralph Nader's statement on this: "I don't think government has the proper role in forcing a woman to have a child or forcing a woman not to have a child... This is something that should be privately decided with the family, woman, all the other private factors of it, but we should work toward preventing the necessity of abortion." Now here's what Obama put down for his beliefs on abortion, as can be found here: For his stance on abortion on a political awareness test, he checked "Other" and wrote in: "Abortions should be legally available in accordance with Roe v. Wade." Now to take this a step back. Amendment 14, Section 1, of the U.S. Constitution states: "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." And this was how "Jane Roe" (a pseudonym for Norma McCorvey) won her case that was held on her behalf by her attorneys against the state of Texas, represented by Wade. This is also why I find California's Prop 4 (parental consent for abortion for girls under 18 years of age) to be absolute bullshit. It's impeding on a right that was deemed available for all women by the Supreme Court. It's an attempt to chip away at the right a woman has to CHOOSE. And that's the funny thing about wording. Pro-life is NOT the opposite of pro-choice. That would imply that pro-choice advocates are for aborting ALL fetuses (feti?). Pro-life is a delightful little euphemism for the more truthful and harsher-sounding anti-choice. Most conservatives, as Sarah Palin has voiced, do not support abortion in any sense--be it in cases of rape, incest, etc. I'm sure many of them are even opposed to a woman evacuating a fetus if it's killing her. Was it the girl's choice to be raped? No. So she should have to carry a fetus to term even if it kills her? Let's continue on this wording tangent -- partial-birth abortion. The American Medical Association does not recognize "partial-birth abortion" as a genuine medical term. The actual wording for it is intact dilation and extraction. "Partial-birth abortion" is another spin on the term to make it sound like the fetus was born through labor and pushing on the mother's part and then stabbed in the back of the head with a medical instrument just for shits and giggles. And who's going to back that? Might as well argue if clubbing baby seals is heartless or not. Please think of the seals. Intact D&X has only been used in less than 1% of abortions (around 0.2% for a closer approximation). Here's something the video doesn't flat out address: Jill Stanek worked in a rather religious hospital, Advocate Christ Hospital. What were they doing performing a second-trimester abortion? Abortion isn't exactly something you could roll up to your nearest devoutly Catholic/Protestant medical group, ask for, and get willy-nilly. There HAD to be an issue with the mother(s). The video doesn't specify how many of these so-called abortions Stanek witnessed or "discovered," but when she went to the media regarding it, she was fired for slander. Stanek now has a job as a columnist for World Net Daily, a publication that has frequently fallen under scrutiny for libelous statements they're printed. Incidentally, the rate of aborting a "pro-life" girl's unwanted fetus is HIGHER than those of pro-choicers. Why? Let's say a good Christian girl goes to a party, has a few drinks, and makes a bad decision which lands her at urinating on a stick and getting that "Surprise! You're pregnant!" lump-in-her-stomach sort of feeling. She could deal with it publicly and have everyone over the 9 months know what she did (judging her every time she goes to church, school, work, etc). OR.. she could deal with it privately and put the whole situation behind her. Guess what she's more likely to choose. Most pro-choicers do not fall back on abortion as a form of contraception, despite what the GOP and religious folks would have you believe. They simply want the option to be there should they find themselves in such a bind. Here's some light reading on the topic: "The Only Moral Abortion is My Abortion": When the Anti-Choice Choose. Now with all that said, what does this have to do with Obama? Obama did not perform the procedure. He did not pull the fetuses (feti?) from the mothers. He didn't leave them in a room alone to die. Obama opposed a bill that was invading the private medical lives of women who sought the procedure for varying reasons. He was standing up for the rights of women everywhere and trying to keep anti-abortion rights advocates out there from chipping away at a woman's right to choose. What's being stacked against him? The strategic wording of bills, buzzwords, and hot button issues backed by the logical fallacies of appealing to emotion and tradition and poisoning-the-well red herrings (either you're against abortion entirely or you're a baby-eating nazi) with a healthy dose of "Tu quoque" in there for good measure. |
