Thanks for proving my point, Ron. You're pretty far out there brother. Performance Designs Factory Team

The only time I see you 'attacked' is when you post far out there religious/survivalist nonsense. There are plenty of people here, who are of Christian faith, who don't seem to share your persecution. Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

Keep believing that, and keep losing. The Republican party is in a sad state of affairs, whether you see it or not is irrelevant. For the "party of responsibility" they sure do spend a lot of time blaming everyone else for their failures. Sometimes, as hard as it is, you need to step back - reflect, and regroup with a new strategy. The Republican party desperately needs this, IMO. Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

Clearly. Look, you won't accept this - I get it - but the Republican party, as it is, moves further and further away from the majority of voters. Moves like Palin, Bachman, etc don't do them any favors. People like you are going to vote Republican no matter what, what the party needs to focus on is people like me who WANT another option. Stop doubling down on a failed approach. There's a golden opportunity here, seize it. Ditch the religious nuts/rhetoric, focus on smaller (but realistic) government, stay the hell out of my life and choices, be fiscally responsible both to the 'little guy' and the 'big guy' - and you've got yourselves a winner (I think).

Christianity certainly fits the definition of a cult to me. Pretty much all organized religion does, surely? Performance Designs Factory Team

Nothing about what's happening in Somalia? Africa in general and the massacre's there? How about other parts of the world? Just those 3 events for you....sad. Maybe a little more time expanding your world view is in order, instead of crawling B.S conspiracy websites. Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

So filled with Fail. try harder. Performance Designs Factory Team

I still think it's a massive assumption on your part. Performance Designs Factory Team

And that has ZERO to do with how hard he's worked, or what RushMc had to say. Performance Designs Factory Team

That's a pretty pathetic and far stretch. You don't know the first thing about him, and what he's worked for (or not). Performance Designs Factory Team

Gotcha.....I had no idea it was related (based on thread title). Performance Designs Factory Team

Yes. She thought it was impossible for a non-Christian and Christian to be happily married. With that mindset, yes its true. Personally I believe that mutual respect is all that's needed regarding each others faiths (if any). Performance Designs Factory Team

Ask Dead Mike Performance Designs Factory Team

Damned if we do, damned if we don't. I find the idea of the international community tolerating chemical attacks abhorable and the message it sends is disgusting. That said, we open a whole different can of worms with a strike. Situation just blows all around Performance Designs Factory Team

You are correct, I didn't consider that! Performance Designs Factory Team

Because Kallend posted it? Performance Designs Factory Team

Wow - really? You really don't see the value to employee moral, even though the $ value is low? Performance Designs Factory Team

I wouldn't make those comparisons, honestly. Such different animals. I find the VE96 a chore at my loading, and far preferred the 90 at that time. Performance Designs Factory Team

I loved the KA 107 at 1.7-1.8. Just saying. Performance Designs Factory Team

I think to a certain degree, yes - and I don't mean that in an elitist or snobby way at all. It's just very hard, I think, for people to comprehend how close to the truth that was if they weren't there to witness, or experience, it. The scene where Wikus is almost excited at the popping eggs is a perfect, and very very realistic, portrayal of the dehumanization that happened. It sickened me to watch. The removal of people from their homes 'legally' only to be placed in a shanty town, intentionally isolated, was also very accurate too. Simply substitute "Prawn" with "Kaffir" and you have a pretty good history and depiction of the apartheid era and mentality in that movie (sans the sci fi of course) Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

I dunno. I actually lived through apartheid - the underpinnings of the movie. I found it to be bang of the money for portraying the negative qualities of humanity. I still find District 9 a poignant commentary on South Africa in the 70's-90's Performance Designs Factory Team

So I saw this, twice, recently. I wasn't overly impressed other than visually and the score is magnificent (m83!) It wasn't bad, just predictable. I called the Tech 52 idea about 10 mins into the movie. I'd rate it around 6 out of 10. Moon did it better I thought. Performance Designs Factory Team

+1 edit: To add, it's been my experience that MOST (not all) of the time the pilot makes it worse by preemptively panicking and starting to kick out of the twists prior to deployment being complete. I've had the best success with treating the deployment like it's perfect, focusing on symmetry, and then once it's COMPLETELY deployed, gently working my way out of the line twists.

Probably gonna check this out tomorrow. Performance Designs Factory Team
