Do you know who the fascists were in Starship Troopers? The Bugs. Fascism and Communism are all about the collective/state being greater than the individual. Starship Troopers is about personal responsibility; that each individual must CHOOSE to give of themselves or not.

I have this exact same reaction to raw carrots and celery. If they're cooked, even a little bit, then they don't bother me. I've never understood why though.

We read it. Get out there and write. Don't wait for later. It may never come.

Infamous and Little Big Planet are the same games they offered for free back when this originally happened. That's how I got them.

The NFL should make an official change to the Pat's uniforms next year. They should be forced to wear jerseys that have "I have deflated balls" printed on them for every single game. That would be punishment enough. Nothing deflates a football players balls like being laughed at.

Those of us who live here enjoy it quite a bit that we don't have to put up with out of state A-holes zipping through at 90 miles per hour.

You don't have to transport the hydrogen. We already transport water and electricity all over the country. Any fueling station could take those two and create the hydrogen on the spot. They could also just use solar panels right there at the station to generate the electricity needed to convert water to H and O2

I rest my feet on it and then I pedal for a few minutes at regular intervals. I've had it for a while, so I don't remember where I picked it up. I know…

I am the Cumquat Hagen Daz ;)

These are scenes from when we first meet them. Neither she nor her brother are really in 'costume' at this point. She's wearing what she probably wears on a daily basis. Quicksilver looks like he's wearing some sort of cycling outfit. This makes sense as an off the shelf sort of purchase for a person who can move at…

For all those in the comments bitching about CO2 please take note. The pollution in these pictures is from particulate matter in the air. It is soot. It comes from the incomplete combustion of materials. It has NOTHING to do with CO2 or global warming, so please shut the hell up. Thank you.

Lawrence needs to get out from behind the desk and get back out into the field. He's packed on a few post-Matrix pounds.

Three movies? Three?? Why, God? Why?

It sort of became the poster child for political correctness gone awry when they re-released it and digitally removed every single firearm from the government agents.

Yeah, those were the later Dire-Wraiths. The originals were just sort of amorphous shadows that could take on the forms of other things. They had some sort of Dire-Wraith civil war to explain the changeover. I think the nastier ones were the females. (Go figure).
