Spielberg also supposedly wanted a lot of other Americanizations and to condense the first three books. I don't think that would've worked out too well.

And doesn't have a great historical track record.

Or you could just work on your "eh"s and "boot"s.

Eh, my Facebook feed's currently taken up with a whole bunch of angry scientist rants. Although that's not exactly lifting my spirits.

There's also the Waterworld option. You gotta figure the drinking one's own urine piqued his interest.

Putin's at least paying lip service to the agreement.

Competent evil would realize there needs to be a viable earth in order for you to rule it.

Okay, cool. I think we've achieved mutual understanding here.

So…donations for miniature flags for all? Including the dogs?

Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself.

And you really don't see why nitpicking this one point - which, again, is not really the focus of either letter - might have obscured your intentions?

If they had any idea what Arabian scholars contributed to civilization, they'd never use computers again.

To be fair, a lot of these guys do appear to practice what they preach in these matters. No vile, misleading breath mints for them!

Fine, I'll start. Of course, I'm above recruitment age, childless, and 4F on multiple counts, so I'm not sure what good it'll do, but there you go.

Well, the alternative is that you think you're making some kind of coherent point. In which case, I urge you to stop posing leading questions and focus on your actual argument, whatever it is. No, women aren't required to sign up for selective service. How exactly is that our fault?

The Council has reviewed said witticisms, and decided to let you keep your genetic material as well. In fact, they insist.

I can't speak for people in general, but my response to whatever you're trying to pull here is mostly just confusion.
