Every party has its loose cannons (like Joe Lieberman & Zell Miller). But most of the time when a politician diverges from his 'party line' they have only two choices... (A) Quit the party. (B) Sell out. It's only a RARE few who can thumb thier nose at the party and stay part of it.

"Even if the minotaur did act inappropriately, and I'm not saying it did, the United States cannot be held responsible for its actions because it is a beastly minotaur and no chains can bind it!"

"And you know, frankly, I think it's sad that now the words "neverending labyrinth of pain" are synonymous with the errors made by one loose cannon minotaur who, yeah, admittedly, went too far."

These two lines were just too much for me. They brought tears of laughter.

>> ^Kagenin:
The definition of "terrorist" is someone who uses fear, intimidation, and/or violence to further their agenda, political or otherwise.

That would mean anyone who has ever waged war (defensive or otherwise) is a terrorist... Including George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Try another definition that involves something along the line of deliberately killing random noncombatants.

Oh wait, that would still make all the major powers on both sides of WWII terrorists for bombing the fuck out of each other.
So you'll be wanting another definition...

At least after the USA won WWII relations with Japan were repaired and now we're friends.

Between firebombing a whole city with airplanes and leaving a backpack bomb in a cafe, the only significant differences are size, purpose, and governmental affiliation. I suppose one could argue that the world is better off if loose cannons get more opprobrium than republic-supported warfare.

loose cannon looking to get shot, or a vote for Skeletor to offset the tide of absolute bullshit that would follow Clitless or O'Bammy???

and wtf is absolute sheit we can see on any TV being here anyhow??....
oh fuck..."Sorry Canadians."
& the other less fortunate...

yeah, what about us non-affiliated liberal minded loose cannons? we had no choice but to select other... and as for occupation, I think 'student' should have been a category as that would have probably taken a large chunk out of the 'other' bar on that graph.

and yeah, doncha alls know how to treat a lady?

These are clips from the French film "Leon" which was released in the US as "The Professional" (1994):


from Netflix:

Leon (Jean Reno) is the top hit man in New York -- also known as a "cleaner." When his next-door neighbors are wiped out by a loose-cannon DEA agent (Gary Oldman), Leon becomes the unwilling custodian of 12-year-old Mathilda (Natalie Portman). Before long, Mathilda's thoughts turn to revenge, and she considers following in Leon's footsteps. Gritty and unflinching, The Professional packs a powerful punch.
