Bulldrek v3.0

Glyph

You make first contact with the tentaculons, a peaceful alien race who are very curious about humans, especially human sexuality. As they work you over with their multiple flexible, slimy, appendages, you are strangely reminded of the L.A. Blue Girl anime. I wish for a popular, unified government in...

Ah, don't worry. I'm sure Pat Robertson's insightful comments have calmed everybody down.

The jedi knights are sworn to celibacy, like their fathers, and their fathers before them.

Lord of the Rings had plenty of "sorcery" - Gandalf, the elves, and all sorts of magical items such as the ring, a number of magic swords, etc. And it has been criticized by Bible-thumping twits in the past, although most Christians can look at it and see its moral virtues - as they can al...

Glyph

It was better than the first two of the "new" installments, which is not really saying much. Now granted, the original trilogy didn't have great acting or dialogue, either. But they were action-packed B-movies, so that didn't matter as much. Stilted dialogue and bad acting are much more pr...

It's time to ask the age old question: Is Bulldrek dead? 'It's not dead, 'it's restin'! Look, matey, I know a dead forum when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now. No no it's not dead, it's, it's restin'! Remarkable forum, Bulldrek, idn'it, ay? Beautiful plumage! It's not restin'! It's passe...

The Iraqi in question hadn't surrendered, wasn't a POW, and the insurgents had been playing dead, booby-trapping corpses, and pretending to surrender then firing. The marine was acting to protect himself and his buddies. When adrenaline is rushing through you, and you are in "kill or be killed&...

Kerry.

Glyph

The way that Bush answered (or rather, didn't answer) that question played right into one of the themes Kerry is trying to run with - that Bush's certitude comes from him never admitting that he's wrong. They knew the questions in advance - they could have come up with some nice, noble, mistakes tha...

Glyph

That's phased a bit clumsily, but it still seems clear what he's saying. If you take just the soldiers from Missouri, they would rank third in number of soldiers deployed in Iraq. Kerry is going to keep hammering that we are basically going it alone there, while Bush is going to keep accusing him of...

Glyph

The more cynical among us might say that he already is effectively the President (or is that Carl Rove? Do they switch off mid-week or something?). :D Even the late-night talk shows have picked that up. After that close call with Cheney's aircraft and that other plane, they were saying things like &...

Glyph

Got in late, only saw part of the next-to last and last questions, and closing statements. Taped it, so more later when I have had a chance to sit down and watch it all (which may not be until tomorrow. Started watching it, but only got through the first question. Will watch the rest later). But loo...

She did kind of underwhelm me - giving Edwards the extra 15 seconds wasn't the only time she seemed to get stumped over whose turn it was, not to mention all the times she stumbled over addressing the VP (who is a VP, not a senator). Edwards stumbled a bit, but held his own more than I thought he wo...

Glyph

To me, it read that Cheney was going to rip Edwards to pieces. Yeah, that was what I was trying to say. Now, I'm not saying Edwards doesn't have a chance, just that the odds don't seem to favor him. I laid out how he might be able to pull it off, but Cheney is a cool customer, and he has the advant...

Glyph

They did? Then why did B. make a joke about "forgiving" K. for going to Yale? I found that wierd too. They even went to Yale at the same time, overlapping a couple years from 64-66. It was a joke because Bush also went to Yale. I was kind of pleasantly surprised by the debate. The candida...

Happy & Horny American.

Glyph

Overall, it was fairly restrained, with no glaring gaffes or perfectly-delivered zingers. They took the usual shots at each other, but no real ugly stuff. That kind of worked to Kerry's advantage, since he badly needed to seem cool and presidential - being too agressive would have made him look like...

Glyph

Baen has also done this with some of its hardcover books. For example, the latest Honor Harrington book had a CD with all of the previous books in the series, as well as lots of other complete novels by other authors. They unabashedly admit that it's a marketing ploy, and I think it's a brilliant on...

Glyph

On foreign policy, Bush continues his campaign of lies, trying to tie Iraq to the war on terrorism despite there being no links to it whatsoever. And Libya was on its current trajectory for years . Hell, Clinton's much-maligned diplomacy (offering inducements to them to accept resposibility for the ...

Serious Paul wrote:Oh, and I thought you were from Germany Glyph? Your previous seems unclear to me, it reads as if an American is posting about American forces. So either you're an American in Germany discussing what I thought, or I am confused.

I'm from America, so you must be confused.

Glyph

"Fighting" and "action," as already discussed by Paul and lorg, have other connotations besides military intervention. I don't think we (the bleeding liberals) can't grasp it. We do grasp it. We just interpret it differently, our wish is different. We see that it is wrong and we...

Glyph

Like so many other things Bush has done, the primary beneficiaries will be corporations, who will have a big influx of cheap labor in an already tight job market. While I don't like how illegal immigrants are exploited in this country, I don't think this is a good solution to that. What I find most ...

Like the article said, the Whole Fucking Country is supposed to be a "Free Speach Zone". Assholes.

Glyph

Cain, while I think that might be a good idea in theory , I think trying to implement it would turn into a nightmare. You would probably see the ACLU and Pat Robertson on the same side for the first time in history. :) As far as the allegations of troops defiling a mosque - I think it shows that the...

Are you a Christian? (I'm guessing not, but I honestly don't know.) What makes you certain that your interpretation is the correct one? --so much so that you are willing to denounce as "non-Christian" all those who disagree with you? I'm not trying to "spin" anything... only try...

Glyph

I don't see what's so wrong about what these people are doing, and I am not, as a rule, very fond of right-wing Bible-thumpers. If you are going to have freedom of speach and freedom of religion, you need to have the freedom to discuss that religion. That includes such things as people saying "...

Glyph

Saw it, liked it. Obviously, it can't be a straight-up adaption from the book, but it does, like the other movies, capture the feel of the books. And the acting was good all around, especially for some of them (Sam, Gollum, Aragorn) who absolutely HAD to be effective in their roles to make it work. ...

Here's the classic example, Glyph. Back in the 20's, Prohibition was effectively a "War on Alcohol", and we know how that ended up. When we ended Prohibition-- effectively legalizing alcohol-- the actual crime rate went down. I could give you the example of widespread morphine and opium a...

Glyph

I have been lead by my sources to believe that actual, first-time drug offenders are actually relatively rare in prison, but I'll defer to your first-hand experience. I still don't think legalization is the answer, though. It would create more problems than it solved. I do think that the emerging tr...

Glyph

The truly violent crimes come from the "harder" drugs such as meth, PCP, crack, etc. Mariijuana is a mild hallucinogen, so it doesn't generally inspire violence. It does have the effects that most abusable substances, legal or otherwise, have - it makes users more susceptible to really bad...

Glyph

First, I think that putting the violent criminals and sex offenders away for longer would cost less than the damage that their crimes do. It is a problem, though, and prisons for profit are not the panacea that people think they are - although they have their place if they are properly monitored. Wo...

Glyph

I think you guys are making it too complicated. Instead of fretting about high rates of recidivism, and how to deal with it without violating someone's rights after he's served his sentence, why not simply make a few more crimes a life sentence? If someone commits a violent felony, or rapes someone,...

Glyph

Ehhh, the irregularities in the Florida voting are what have me steamed. The majority vs. electoral college thing doesn't bug me as much, since it was part of the system of checks and balances built into the constitution. But you're right, MissTeja should remember that Bush didn't have a majority th...

Glyph

No, secretly flying to a secure military outpost and then flying back in a few hours doesn't even get him a little red badge of courage. Senator Clinton and the others are exposing themselves to far more actual danger in their visit to Afghanistan - a trip that this Thanksgiving visit was cynically ...

Glyph

I agree with the concensus. One thing I hate about these kind of incidents is how there are always a number of race-baiting politicians crying "racism!" whenever these incidents happen, before there is any investigation of the facts, fanning the flames of ignorance and hatred for the sake ...

Return of the King Master and Commander Bad Santa You couldn't pay me to see Last Samurai. Even if I didn't make a point of not seeing any Cruise movies (I'm not going to subsidize a brainwashing, scummy cult - and I just love how the gutless, gushing twit who authored this puff piece lets him casua...

Glyph

To me, this photo op was as contrived as him showing up on an aircraft carrier wearing a flight suit. It probably impressed a lot of people, though. I don't think it will make a big difference - the key factor aiding Bush is that he faces no strong primary opposition, giving him a huge head start on...

Paris Hilton may be a spoiled, bitchy, skanky, petty, brain-dead slut, but I don't blame her for the incessant media coverage about her. That, I blame our pathetically pandering, bottom-feeding media for. I hate the fucking mainstream media. They are solely concerned with dishing up crap and celebri...

Glyph

I liked it, although I really didn't go in there with very high expectations. I expected eye candy, good action sequences, some metaphysical babble, and a few interesting little quirks to the plot - I mean, the ending may have seemed like a cop-out to some people, but I liked it fine. When was the l...

Glyph

It just looked like the usual aguments about Bush, but even the anti-Bush people didn't seem to think that Bush's grandfather being a nazi was a big deal, or was relevant when talking about the current Bush. It might have been unintentionally humorous if the posters were all taking the initial topic...

Glyph

While I can be conservative on a number of topics, such as gun control and drug laws, I have never made a secret of my disdain for Shrub. The quote from me, though, is from a thread on whether Bush should have been impeached for lying, so unless you are under the mistaken impression that impeachment...

Arnold getting elected I can almost understand, and they could do worse. He really seems to have a sincere desire to do good, and he is very moderate for a Republican.

As a former Lounge semi-regular and long-time Bulldrek SST lurker/sometime poster, I can tell you that SST is a lot different than the Lounge, despite some surface similarities. Bulldrekkers are very mellow, and things that would start a burning flamewar on another board will just get a shrug here. ...

The two biggest media-panderers of all time, contriving a publicity stunt? Say it isn't so! Still, at least it's a nice visual, and a nice mental image.

Glyph

I don't think they have nearly enough for a case. There are lots of similarities, sure, but a lot of them are either very general or not limited solely to White Wolf. Stuff like vampires not being vulnerable to wood in White Wolf, while wood was not used as a weapon in the movie, and vampires and we...

Fundamentalists and people attacking Christianity both tend to look at Biblical verses literally and without any sense of context. If you do that, you get into trouble, especially with difficult passages such as Paul's letters. The Old Testament warnings about homosexuality should be taken in the co...
