Huzzah! I get to remove that little red P from you. Welcome aboard!

Hamill always and forever. Heath does well for the world they created, but for overall Jokerness? Hamill always wins. For now.

His point was that before this ship, everything was simplistic, boring and ultimately, unimaginative. To the people first seeing the original Enterprise starship it was truly incredible because they had never before seen something like it. No audience afterwards could have quite the same reaction because now that the ship existed, nothing else could reach quite the same level because all others afterwards were derivative of the original. Something along those lines anyway. >> ^doogle:

what's his point here? It's a beautiful ship because what came before it was some sort of saucer from the <garble mumble> movie?

I like the fact that no fail tag leaves you wondering. Sat the entire time grinning and shacking my head figuring on what would happen.

Don't wake the Wookie.

I wanna know : WHAT'S THAT BALL MADE OF?!

I've probably seen every episode entirely to many times but somehow I missed the whole "GRIZZelda's" having a hibernation state. Probably because I was always laughing to hard at Picard being laying the smack down diplomatic style as is his wont.

"You pick it up." "No you pick it up."
*pause video*
Que 30sec of laughter.

I get the idea, or at least I think I do. It's supposed to give you the sensation of flying, in that your "weightless" and can see in every direction. Still be a bit nervous getting in the first few times though.

A decision made in a moment of weakness and desperation has little to no moral meaning whatsoever. It's a grasping at a straw, a grab at whatever idea happens to come to mind or gets put in front of us and latching on to it because we can see no other option. This is not a true choice. Using tactics like this doesn't mean you genuinely recruited someone for Christianity or any other religion, it simply means you happen to be the snake oil salesman most readily on hand when the desperately sick person happened to walk by. Anyone would do, you just got lucky. It means nothing from a moral standpoint whatsoever. In fact it's a moral negative if anything. All this says about your religion is that you are perfectly happy recruiting the weak and broken, not because you want the weak and broken, but because they are easier prey than the strong and upright. This is the EXACT same tactic used by cults everywhere. The only difference is that Christianity happens to have more people.

DeMint can't tell the difference between 2 billion SPENT and 2 billion LOST.

Something tells me that most of those protesters (and most of the ones against restarting the reactors) are probably NOT the ones having to deal with the extreme power shortages the PM was talking about. It's very easy to be against something when it doesn't actually affect you. Not to mention most of them were probably perfectly ok with the reactors for all the years they were providing them with safe cheap energy. It took a ridiculously huge earthquake and several other factors to make things that bad for the reactors, it not nearly as dangerous as these people would believe.

having a hard time believing this is real but... damn. Not sure I've ever heard a bird enunciate that clearly before. I didn't even notice the subtitles till halfway through because I didn't need them.

I've said this elsewhere, that even IF God did create everything, that means he intentionally placed all the evidence we've found contrary to the bible's version of events. This amounts to the same thing as lying to everyone. The basic definition of saying you did one thing, but doing another. Test of faith or not, intentionally misleading people is a lie plain and simple. Their very own book states that this is a sin so how....?
Not that this matters, anyone who "truly believes" will have little problem coming up with their own idea's of how to square yet another circle so that they can continue thinking they are correct. Who wants to admit they were wrong and that the last X number of years they spent of their life giving money and spending time to spread the word was in fact, a giant waste of time and resources? Nobody. Much easier to simply pretend that all things contrary to the position held is simply misunderstood, misrepresented or simply false despite everything. Understandable. Cowardly, but understandable given human nature.

Love the look of that lady sitting right behind him. "Holy crap what is he doing?!" What's he doing? He's being a GOOD journalist lady. Learn from him.
