    Who is the most annoying Air Warrior?

    I just can't believe that no one finds me annoying. I'm liberal, people, come on! I voted for Kerry, y'all! Good Lord, what does a person have to do around here?

    What do our soldiers in Iraq need?

    Hrumph. "Point skirmish," then. "Point conflict."

    Let's talk about reputation points

    There is that concern, but I think that the threat of a "point war" might make people think twice for giving negative rep for minor crap. I sign all of the rep points that I give out, and it keeps me honest, knowing that if I give out negative rep for no reason, I could get it right back. I'd...

    Saw far.-9/11 for the first time

    Well, it makes sense. Millions of people have heard about "Fahrenheit 9/11", whereas hardly anyone has heard of "Fahrenhype 9/11". That's like expecting Blockbuster to stock equal copies of "The Passion of the Christ" and "Gigli".

    I wish the Sox had lost.....

    You can't imagine how hard this past weekend was for me, as a Democrat and a Redskins fan. Not that we had much of a chance against Green Bay anyway, but I never like to root for my team to lose.

    New Bin Laden Tape

    Is there seriously a Bush voter out there who is going to look at that video and say, "Well, golldung, that Usama feller says that Bush ain't as great as I been done thinkin', what with national security and whatnot. I'ma vote for Kerry after all, a-'cause Usama says so." That's not going to...

    New Bin Laden Tape

    I don't know where I stand on that - I don't think that bin Laden really cares how the elections come out; his level of being-screwed-ness is really the same either way. I'm guessing that if he shifted exactly a thousand Kerry voters to Bush and exactly a thousand Bush voters to Kerry, he'd be...

    The Political Compass - who are you?

    Ha ha! I'm Economic -4.62, Social -4.15. The chart appears to equate me with the Dalai Lama. I can't wait to tell my friends.

    Female soldiers eyed for combat

    Although I disagree with just about everything that Manny says and most of the things that he's thinking, I do agree that no one is going to change anyone else's mind on this particular topic.

    Female soldiers eyed for combat

    Patmack makes a good point - there is certainly a difference between a chauvanist and a pragmatist. That having been said, there are definitely a few of each on this thread.

    I honestly don't care whether my male counterparts think of me as a professional. But they damn well better treat me as a professional, or else we have a talk.

    Female soldiers eyed for combat

    VarmintShooter - The rest of your argument aside, I'm not seeing how hot bunking and any resulting degradation of mission is the result of women onboard ship. You mentioned numerous women who hooked up with numerous men during the course of the trip - those women aren't representative of women...

    Europeans trying to influence US election

    First of all, Kevin, you suck. Secondly, I never said that the media were altruistic. I merely pointed out how the media should be, not how they are, so kindly untwist your knickers. As for doing anything to fill a headline... well, yeah. Headlines sell papers, some headlines sell more...

    Sarcasm... right... I'm pretty sure I've heard of that... No problem. That having been said, you step to me, I'm taking it to the ****ing ground. I'm coming after you, I'm coming after your mother, and I'm coming after your pets, because I don't particularly like your tone of voice. You...

    Europeans trying to influence US election

    Whuh-whuh-whoa. We're not talking accurate or truthful here. Of course, there have been incidents - sometimes rashes of incidents - in which the media has been neither accurate nor truthful. The issue is whether or not the media should be used to influence world events, whether news reporting...

    Europeans trying to influence US election

    Kevin, as easy as it is to believe otherwise, the media's job isn't to incite revolution in foreign countries; its job is to report the news as accurately as it can without influencing the newsmakers (Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle notwithstanding). When revolution occurs in Iran, it'll be...

    New Navy Uniforms Announced

    I realize that this is just the girl in me, but does anyone else wonder that they're spending money on new BDUs with a dozen different options and colors and patterns and pockets and bells and whistles - and the women's uniforms still look like meter maids?

    Pilot Pickup Lines?

    A friend of mine once got "Hey, you know why Marines make the best lovers?" (the answer he was going for being, "Because they're the first in and the last out). She just smiled at him and said, "I have no idea. But I understand that the Coast Guard is 'always ready.'" The look on his face was...

    Bush or Kerry?

    You also have to consider, though, that the more non-responders you have, the less likely the poll is to be accurate - if the majority of those polled choose not to respond, it's likely that those who do respond have an opinion other than the norm. That makes this poll particularly...

    As silly as I feel posting this for all the world to see, I'm drill-less. I have no power drill, and I need a power drill, and I personally know one person in town who has a power drill, and he's my ex and I don't want to ask him, so... any complete strangers who could toss me a drill? Why...

    However, I've heard that reading the pocket version of the Kama Sutra could cause you to lose your soul, especially if you take it literally. At the very least, you could slip a disk.

    Da Vinci Code

    All right, Kev, let's sit back and pour ourselves a nice cup of cocoa and calm down. I don't think anyone was attacking you; we were just pointing out that your argument would stand up better if you had read the book. If you did, you would realize that the entertainment value really outweighs...

    Da Vinci Code

    I do have to back up Crystal a little - it's one thing to criticize something like a documentary without seeing it (i.e. Farenheit 9/11), but this is a work of fiction. There are lots of works of fiction out there that are based on an actual thing or event and, by playing fast and loose with...

    Da Vinci Code

    I think the problem is that the chapters are so short. You think, "Oh, well, I'll just read one more, 'cause they're short," and the next thing you know it's waaaay later than you expected. I liked it a lot, though. I don't really like the guy's writing style, but I thought the story was...

    I once actually got - and I was amazed that someone actually tried this - "If I told you you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?" My reply was, "If I told you I had a revolver strapped to my thigh, would you go sit over there?" He tried to play it off, but he did go and sit at...

    Pilot Pickup Lines?

    It makes absolute sense. My dream car all through college was a mostly-red, largely bondo 1974 Scout 4x4 sitting out behind the Phi Psi house from some brother who had probably abandoned it when it was new. The brothers had swapped in a 392 V8 and a new transmission. They were willing to sell...

    Pilot Pickup Lines?

    I've never actually gotten picked up by a pilot, but a Marine did ask me once if I knew why Marines are great in the sack (the answer he was looking for, of course, being that they're first in and last out).

    Teenage Ally Helps Soldiers in Iraq

    That is pretty irresponsible. It seems that 'tis the season to expose one's sources - between the Valerie Plame thing and the Iraqi double agent that just got outed (was he Iraqi? I think he was), "undercover" isn't really as under cover as it used to be.

    Wear to Watch Football

    I'm just toolin' on you - nothin' but love. Sure, I take football seriously, but not that seriously. After all, I'm a Georgia Bulldog dating an Auburn Tiger. In some southern families, that's enough to get me disowned.

    Kerry's Nomination Acceptance Speech

    As I said, I'm pretty sure Kerry's objection was over funding issues, not pork. But remember also that Bush said that he wanted the $10 million to be a grant, not a loan, and that he would veto the bill out-of-hand unless that happened. Both Kerry and Bush had their pet issues on that bill...

    Kerry's Nomination Acceptance Speech

    46Driver was asking about pork-barrell spending, which is basically pointless add-ons that politicians bring in that usually only benefit their own constituents, i.e. an unnecessary weapon that's only built in the pol's home district. They add up to a huge waste of money, but they usually get...

    Barak Obama Speech @ DNC

    As far as Christian religions go, Catholicism is one of the oldest (I don't know about the oldest; I might have some Greek Orthodox folks on my back about that).

    You are. You're being a very good boy. And I'd like you to note that I've remained a lady. That having been said - you're full of it! (Kidding, of course). I think you're looking at Kerry as more mercenary than he really is (my opinion). But I suspect that's not something that's going to...
