*quality memories…although it seems most of these didn’t air in Houston. Not even the Monkeys!
Some of those seemed like really bad rip offs….the lost saucer, not lost in space…valley of the dinosaurs, not land of the lost!?!

I loved this show...enough that I had a die cast eagle and a plastic one that made laser sounds.
*promote some land of the lost level sillyness

Because empty land is money lost!

So the British dicked around and gave the Jews a new home that wasn't theirs to really give.

The Jews were attacked and won and won again and go tall the land.

Palestine people lost big time. I'd say they lost fair and square.

They could have had 1/2 but decided to lose it all.

Great stuff. This brought back many memories.
But...
Speed Buggy but no Speed Racer? And where is Kimba the white lion?

BTW I loved Land of the lost. Sleestaks!

I don't remember the next part either, Sandra. But when I was in 7th grade I did... I also learned the Dinosaur rap that was at the end of this lame-ass Disney Channel movie about going back in time and being stranded Land of Lost style.

Oh wait, was that Land of the Lost? I don't recall, but it was dumb and I learned the rap phonetically rather than actually knowing the words. I wrote it down and it made NO SENSE, but I rapped it anyway. Sort of like learning a Beck song -- Soooooyyyy own a bend a door. lolz

"I was a big fan growing up of this show too. But I must correct the title of this post, this IS NOT THE LAST EPISODE of the series. The was the last episode of season 1 and was titled "Circle", there was still 2 more seasons to go before the final episode. Unfortunately Marshall, Will and Holly found themselves back in the LAND OF THE LOST. Later in season 3 Rick Marshall leaves (supposedly returns to earth) and is replaced by there Uncle Jack." --first comment

Where is the final one then?

My siblings and I used to play Land of the Lost as kids. Our twerp little brother was always Chaka.

I honestly dislike this pascalwageresque risk assessment argument. To me its as simple as:
a)There is overwhelming evidence supporting anthropogenic climate change.
b)Outcome of higher Co2 levels is complex and difficult to ascertain. - This, I feel, is the major sticking point.

I don't buy the end of the world scare stories. The history of life on this planet suggests its capable of surviving a very different atmosphere and abrupt changes. I also think Humans will find a way to adapt. I do however believe that changes over very short periods of time will result in quite profound levels of suffering. Land will be lost to the sea, dramatic changes in weather will ruin agriculture. Many species of plant and animal will likely die out. The last couple of centuries already looks like a mass extinction event. Humanity will be stressed, resource wars will occur with more frequency and ferocity. The developing world will be hit hardest, but the west will become less comfortable.

To me its just whether we collectively choose to inconvenience ourselves now, or suffer later. Given the wests lack of leadership and the general apathy of the population I think its probably going to be the latter. You can all me Malthus.

The claim for Arabs right to the land is stronger because they did not leave the area (as a group). They are also not as diluted genetically from their original ethnicity(s) (shared with Jews, who are of multiple ethnicities, but mainly of Arab decent).
Zionism is the support of the Jewish state, not necessarily the support for it's expansion (although that support is strong in Israel). That means all Israelites are Zionists, unless they are traitors to their own country and are working to end the Jewish state, there aren't many if any of those people in Israel, they would be stoned to death. I'm not sure what definition of Zionist you are working with, it must be different from mine. Not all Zionists are expansionists, and there is nothing in the word that requires poor treatment of others.
To answer Boise_Lib: Because these children are required to serve in the army, actively supporting the state, they are Zionist, whether by choice or by birth. They have the right to leave AFTER their service, or before if their parents leave Israel, so like any child, they are at the whim of their parents and forced into their belief system whether they believe in it or not. This means I was partially wrong in my statement and I will revise it..., all adult Israelis are there 100% by choice.
I love the 'you are just wrong, I can't be bothered to tell you why' mindset. It really doesn't help your argument or help sway my ideas, it gives the impression that you really don't have anything to point at as 'wrong' you just don't like what you read. If you really can point out any inaccuracies I would like to know so I can learn or clarify, but I think you are simply reading in what you want to argue against.
I'm flabbergasted by your idea that (to paraphrase) 'we only send $2.5 BILLION a year, that's not much'. It shows clearly that you aren't being logical or reasonable in the least. If we are going broke fast (and we are), why should we be sending 2.5 BILLION to ANYONE? Especially if your contention, that it isn't a large part of their budget and they don't need it is correct, why bother sending them a dime? There are certainly others we could send that money to and do FAR more good, like Africa.
Anti-Zionism might help, anti-Semitism probably not so much. Pro-Zionism is certainly hurting things by supporting one sides expansion while ignoring the atrocities that causes the Palestinians. As I previously wrote, anti-Semitism often is a by product of anti-Zionism, where the anger at the Zionists is misapplied to only and to all Jews. Therefore, Zionism creates anti-Semitism, rightly or wrongly. I am not an anti-Semite, I am an anti-Zionist...being human, sometimes the two are confused or convergent but not intentionally on my part.
The BEST solution in my eyes is a diplomatic one that stops the expansion and solidifies borders, and one that gets us OUT of the conflict as a nation (if the nutjob born agains want to send their own money, that's their business). I don't see that as the ONLY solution, and obviously neither does Israel, since they are not negotiating in any serious way, and instead continue to expand and provoke, expand and provoke. The Palestinians on the other hand have been pushing for solidified borders for decades and continuously agree to them only to have "settlers" (invaders) move into the land as soon as the treaty is signed. This gives them the moral high ground to me, but does not mean we should be involved.>> ^mxxcon:

Yeah sure, we're all 'Africans', but that designation intentionally ignores the evolution of the species and differentiation since the second great migration, (the first was the aborigines, genetically different from the second wave) and so intentionally ignores 'ethnicity' as a concept.
True, the scattering of the 'Jews' (ethnic term intended here) has changed them from the other 'Arabs' they originally were to the mixed ethnicity they are now, making them slightly different from the Arabs of the region today. Shouldn't the fact that their ethnicity has been diluted also dilute their claim to their ancestral lands (as if such a claim should hold water anyway, if your ancestors lost the land, it's lost, right)?
anti-Semitism is what results from the miss-application of anti-Zionism in many cases (including for me sometimes). For me, it is NEVER an ethnic issue, always a religolitical (religious/political)issue that causes the dislike of the group.
All Israelis are Zionists by definition and action, I suppose this is not true for ALL Jews (of either definition) but is the public position of their 'church' and their ethnic leadership as well. I feel fairly safe saying it's the position held by nearly all Orthodox Jews, but that might be wrong, I don't know many. That makes them a completely different animal from the Chinese, where many in China actively don't support their government or even their system of government, but are forced to stay in China and work for it. No Israeli is forced to live in Israel, it's 100% by choice.
I do understand that in large part, the 'fundamentalist Christians' (and also American Jewish Zionists) are to blame for us funding and supporting Israel, I hope I misread and you don't think they foot the bill too, we all do.
Can we agree that religious justifications for ANY otherwise bad act are wrong, and reinforce the idea that religion itself is wrong and bad?>> ^hpqp:
@newtboy
If we go back far enough, we are all Africans; ethnic distinctions happen to take the history of peoples' migrations into account. Yes, ethnic Jews are Arabs (or vice-versa) just like most Australians, Americans and Canadians are Europeans, except instead of colonisation it is the Jewish diaspora that is the cause for their break from their "land of origins".
Antisemitism is racism against Jews (ethnic group), whether they be religious or not. I fully disagree with Israel's politics and their funding by Americans (speaking of which, you do know, I hope, that they are above all funded/supported by fundie evangelicals, don't you?) for the purpose of colonisation, but to lump all (ethnic) Jews/Israelis (that's a nationality btw) together saying that they support this is about as ridiculous as saying that all Chinese in China and around the world support the communist government in China just because they're Chinese.
That being said, I agree entirely that the religious justifications over land - from both sides btw - is ridiculous and dangerous. "My prophet died here so it's my land!" Ugh.

Also very broad and inaccurate generalizations.
You can read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_ethnic_divisions for a pretty detailed explanation.
Dilution of ethnicity and claim of their ancestral lands can just as easily apply to 'Arabs' there.
And just like Jews, "Arabs" is a general term for various ethnic and religious groups.
So whose land it is is a very subjective topic of how far back in history you want to go.
Not all Israelis are Zionists. The word Zionist have many various meanings and definitions, but you seem to have a totally wrong understanding of what it is. There's a sizable portion of Israel Jew's population that is against those settlements and treatment of (to call it broadly) non-Jewish populace.
There are also many other wrong assumptions and generalizations in your post.(right now I'm too tired after work to elaborate on them all).
Needless to say the whole Israeli conflict is a very complex and messy situation. There are guilty parties on both sides. Cutting funding/aid to either side will not move things for the better. Over the last 10 years US aid to Israel was about ~$2.5billion/year. That is about 1% of Israel's $217billion GDP economy. While sizable, cutting that aid will not be a significant hindrance.
External boycotts, protests and especially antisemitism will not help things either. That will only make them more stubborn and have justification for potential threat to their sovereignty and survival. The only real solution is a diplomatic approach to change governments' policies.

I sincerely believe that Will Ferrell is talented. He proved it on SNL and in his better movies like Stranger Than Fiction. But I swear to god, if he keeps on doing the same damn character over and over again in clearly terrible movies like this, I will go out of my way to avoid all of his movies, even the re-runs of the good ones like Anchorman and Old School.

What the hell, man. Land of the Lost? Semi-pro? Kicking & Screaming? Bewitched? Please, Will. For the love of everything good, stop signing on to every damn comedy script you get. You're better than this.
