+9% at 52% in Indiana! DOWN, BITCH, DOWN! ;O

"The dynamic hasn't changed" according to NPR. The danger was that Obama would squeak by in NC and lose big in IN. That isn't going to happen, in fact he's going to win big in NC and Clinton will squeak by in IN. Obama will come out with more overall delegates from both states than Clinton and increase his lead over her.


Of course... the MSM won't report that. They'll keep playing up the fairytale about Clinton having a realistic chance of winning the nomination because it makes for ratings. Assholes screwing with our democracy.

Sooooooo.... any christian fundies wondering why this sort of majesty isn't mentioned in the bible? Astrophysics trumps ancient fairytales every time!

I thought it was Yahweh...

Oh well, it's all a magical fairytale anyway...now if you'll excuse me I have to go pray to Rumpelstiltskin.

"It's a great fairytale but not great science" Funny you would say that

The way I see it, you made your decision when you had sex.


That's sort of a fairytale mentality. I got no problem with "you made your bed, now lie in it" but why should the child suffer too?

>> ^Lurch:
In regards to aborting to prevent living in poor conditions, it's not our job to be the judge of whether conditions are too terrible for the child or not.


Actually, yes it is. I'd say that's a critical part of becoming a parent. Ideally, you'd figure that out before a pregnancy, but not everything goes according to plan.

>> ^Lurch:
Being born into poverty doesn't mean you would be better off dead.


Being born into a poor family is one thing. You've still got a chance for a good life if you really work. How about being born into a family that can't afford to feed you or get you medical care? Is it better to live in constant pain, disease-ridden and malnourished only to die at 10, or to not have lived in the first place? I'd have to go with the latter.

Of course there's no way to be certain about what kind of life the child would ultimately have, but it's a would-be parent's responsibility to make the best determination they can.

I'm very torn by this movie. I love me some Jackie Chan, but I'm no Jet Li fan. I'm willing to accept some crouching tiger being that this is based on a fairytale, but I strongly prefer my martial arts flicks to stay in the realm of real-world physics... a place where Jet Li rarely goes.


Yes because Jet Li's wushu movies are full of crap ay... lol
I love both of them, yet I find Jet Li far more entertaining to watch over Jackie Chan.

Jet Li has studied different Wushu styles since childhood and has mastered around 18 different weapon forms if I remember right. Jackie Chan studied traditional Kung Fu and chinese opera acrobatic forms in his childhood at the Peking Opera school(kinda like a boot camp for future performing acrobats) and has reportedly learned Hapkido, judo, boxing, and a lot other arts over the course of making movies.
Jet Li is the only man to ever to be the Wushu World Champion five times.
My money's on Jet Li.

My 2cents lol

Thank you very much, I do own the VHS of the whole animated series, with plans to get them to some form of digital format. I appreciate the thought though =D

In reply to this comment by my15minutes:
i have the entire series on my hard drive. i'd be happy to torrent them or whatever, to anyone interested.

also, much of the series has been posted to google video, and elsewhere.

i'd sift up the whole thing, were it not for the fact that complete episodes of anything aren't supposed to be here.

hey there! just left a brief reply for you at the clip...

In reply to this comment by GDGD:
I miss this show, I miss my comics more...

i just had to flag this one dead.

http://www.videosift.com/video/The-Maxx-was-the-best-thing-ever-on-television

was it a compilation of maxx clips, or what?
i just sifted Gone's Fairytale, and about to sift the Maxx intro, next, once i find a better copy of it.

This is my second TED viewing in VideoSift, and I gotta say I have absolutely no clue as to what innovative idea they're awarding. They usually just award people who does the most charitable work in 3rd world countries. Why not call it 'defender of the the poor award' instead of putting words in like innovation, technology etc etc if their main focus isn't about technology?

Description of TED award is misleading, is what I'm saying.

And the TED award also tends to be favoring extreme 'hippism'. I believe TED prize community is a very liberal and elitist community that talks about well meaning ideas that are bit far fetched for your regular average American means. I mean, the wealth gap is spreading, we have less and less jobs available, we've just been cheated by the democratic elections in our own nation, and yet you ask normal Americans to do their part to save the bugs, save the environment, save the orphans, save the sick and save the hungry??


This only can be achieved when regular people has the means to donate money and the time to spare. For a former president who has nothing to do but meet famous people and regularly give lectures to giant crowds, maybe. Not for us regular Joes.

Now, I'm far from being a Republican, and I like former President Clinton. But whatever he's saying up there really doesn't make any realistic sense.And TED prize community is heavily catered to pro-extreme liberal ideals, and is willing to nominate anyone with these non-realistic 'dreams'.

It's times like this I understand why Republicans hate us Democrats so much. We really sound downright retarded sometimes. I'm beginning to think Clinton's got too many pro-liberal people around him always telling him how great a president he was and stuff, and that finally got to his head. He sounds like goddamn Hollywood movie stars (*cough Madonna *cough Angelina Jolie *cough*) hopped up in fairytale land.

Brilliant diatribe. Christianity and Islam makes about as much sense as the Greek/Roman Pantheon or Egyptian Pharoah/God worship. Its the usual mumbo-jumbo fairytale crap fed to the common people since early recorded human history (and beyond).... to 'keep them in line' and justify the existence of dictatorial or neo-dictatorial leadership.

Religion was created to answer the unexplainable through made up fairy tales in a time when science was unable to fill such space within the sphere of human knowledge and understanding.

Put simply. People need to justify their measly existence as 'common paupers' among the masses. The logical solution to satisfy everyone's need to justify their own existence and simply 'make one's self feel better' (ultimately a selfish goal), was to associate with an organized religion touting uniqueness in one's self and everlasting life in exchange for mental slavery. Thus, the masses immediately gave up their only remaining valuable asset. Their minds.. to those very cults. Simply to be absorbed, deluded, and ultimately prevented from true individual thought and self-expression. Instead, the practice of programmatic expression and group mindedness surpassed logic.

The New World Order Corporate War Machine in action. To bring the American way of rampant consumerism in a monopolized global market. Partially supported by fanatical fundamentalism in the Christian sense. The ideal foot soldiers. Easily brainwashed to follow the lead when spoon fed lies that they are working in the name of their so-called fairytale God and working to convert the rest of the pagan world, with hopes to 'save' people. Its surely not as simple as that, but it is a good part of the insanity.

Well the JFK assassination was whitewashed and covered up for this long. And the official version of those events is another fairytale.

This "incompetent" government has managed to invade the Middle East, has complete control of the media, has stomped on free speech and removed liberties, ignored human rights in the US and the rest of the world, is building concentration camps, torturing civilians, punishing people for their political beliefs, and is doing it all in broad daylight and to their own agenda, unanswerable, unstoppable and unaccountable.

Not incompetent in the slightest.

@ Heinosity

Religious people (any religion) are just sheep...weak, deaf, dumb, blind, and born to follow. If you believe any of the overwhelming bullshit in the bible, the koran or whatever other fairytale book, then you just need to go ahead and jump off a cliff or something so you can be with your God. Hey asshole, jump! he's down there waiting for you! Spare the rest of us your insane, unbelievable garbage.

I love it.
