  1. I think the real story here is who wasn't visited by aliens in 1968 - cause if you weren't, you were doing it wrong, man.
  2. Depressing just isn’t a strong enough word to describe the shit we’re in, and how ineffectual and powerless we are in the face of such staggering malfeasance.
  3. Same here. Though a good deal of the fun derived from watching Lost lies in trying to guess where it’s going and/or concocting myriad theories regarding all aspects of the characters, island, etc – most if not all of which end up being inaccurate or just flat out wrong, at least where my thoughts on the show are concerned, I’ve decided to (more or less) just stop theorizing and just like, enjoy the remainder of the ride. I’ve read some of the spoilers on Dark UFO (and elsewhere), and what I do know based on what I’ve read, assuming it’s accurate, and to date it has been, everyone’s compass
  4. x-dizajn.net really has a ring to it – it’s one of those rare web addresses you’ll never forget even if you don't have a pen and paper to write it down. Like, hey, the other day, I was on this really great website. Other person: Really, which one? Me: Oh, you know, http://x-dizajn.net.
  5. I’m guessing that the circumstances by which each individual is sort of coerced into “waking up” varies – partly based on prior on island history, and maybe also having to do with the “unenlightened” persons, like, temperament or something. As insideoutoflove mentioned, right before the scene changed or we went to commercial (I don't recall), it appeared as though post-run-over-by-Desmond-Locke had an epiphany of sorts, one, for reasons having to do with the shows pacing, we haven’t been made privy to, yet.
  6. I think it might have been Einstein who said something along the lines of “I don’t know how WW 3 will be fought, but WW 4 will be fought with sticks and stones” - which, obviously was wrong, cause if what you appear to be saying is true, and it sounds and looks like it is, more likely than not, it will be waged with plastic knives, forks, spoons, chopsticks and over-priced boutique blends.
  7. So are you suggesting that cold-war proxy wars once fought in client states are now being waged via fast food joints, coffee shops and Chinese restaurants – and that the world’s restaurateurs serve as our first line of offense/defense? Cause if this is true, I think you’ve just opened a whole new can of Dinty Moore Italian-style Vegetable Stew with Meatballs.
  8. All this energy spent fretting over imaginary concerns – it really is its own brand of insanity.
  9. Stayed up until midnight to download it on my Kindle, read until about two-ish - damn I miss him terribly.
  10. Yet another example of the porousness of certain borders: Don Blankenship Called Safety Regulators ‘As Silly As Global Warming’ http://wonkroom.thinkprogress.org/2010/04/12/blankenship-silly-safety/
  11. I’m really fond of people who disregard yield signs altogether, like, don’t even glance back in the direction of traffic, which ends in them cutting you off, and then they have the nerve to act all surprised when you pull up next to them and/or follow them home whilst brandishing a firearm, a fake one no less.
  12. I'm still not convinced that Panther is the original PANTHER – the craziness just seems a bit more forced this time. I think this Panther is an imposter.
  13. The elderly People who wear watches – especially the people who wear watches and then get all huffy and act put upon when you ask the time, every few minutes Overly precious baby animals who know they’re precious and then try to manipulate you using that preciousness – usually against your will The guy at work who has to “let me just double check with regards to that” everything – and I mean everything People who don’t say “thank you” when I hold the door for them, and then act all surprised and offended when I instruct them to go fuck their mothers and/or themselves The way my toas
  14. I’m not quite sure I would describe the attraction shared between Kate & Jack, and, say, Hurley & Libby as examples of what most of us would define as true love. Maybe I need to go back and watch the earlier episodes, but if I recall correctly, Hurley was just beginning to get to know Libby before she was killed off. And though Jack and Kate share a connection, I think true love is maybe too strong a statement to employ when describing their relationship. Of all the relationships, the love shared between off-island Locke and that woman who used to be on Married with Children seems j
  15. Such an impossibly shitty situation for all involved.
  16. I can sort of maybe understand unrest in relation to say, civil rights or a war, but what I cannot understand, is how the right has got itself so worked up in response to a neutered health care bill and some total fabrications regarding Obama’s status as a citizen, his ties to terrorists and/or terrorism, his plot to destroy America, take away our freedoms, and turn the US into a socialist state. And therein, for me, lies the capital D, difference, the right is getting itself all worked up in response to things that, and here is the hook, are not fucking real – and that, I think, matters. Wi
  17. True, but many truthers lean left. I don’t know, I wouldn’t go out of my way to seek the support of a group of people who conduct themselves the way the tea baggers (or truthers) have – some things are more important than votes. Unless, of course, you’re Michelle Bachman and you actually believe this shit – shit like, the current census is a precursor to internment camps and any other crazy shit you can think up and then convince yourself is real in an effort to appeal to your base, even if your base is nearly clinically insane. I was referring to the climate outside this board. Right
  18. The tea baggers have a few things in common with 9/11 Truthers, among them, a profound inability to sort fact from fiction, but, and please correct me if I’m wrong, I don’t recall prominent democrats taking to the air to justify the insane claims and demands of the 9/11 crowd. You’re correct, many tea partiers identify themselves as independents, however, unlike the GOP, I haven’t seen the Democratic Party go out of its way to gain their support or seek their favor – I think at this point, they’d be happy if they could get them to simply re-embrace reality. Suggesting Bush wasn’t always
  19. No, but my point is that some republicans are sort of defending or at least explaining away threats of that type of behavior by turning it around, and blaming democrats for forcing this bill down the throat of Americans. It’s not so much what the tea baggers are saying or doing, they’re just ignorant assholes, it’s the fact that the Republican Party cannot just come out and state that threatening a politicians life is simply wrong, regardless of the circumstances. Of course, this is the same group of people who, above all else, ramble on and on about personal responsibility, and how we’re al
  20. When individuals other than conservative psychos react violently or inappropriately to something they don’t like republicans call it acting irresponsibly, however, when conservative psychos react violently or inappropriately to something they don’t like, republicans call it justified – especially when the anger is directed at democrats and/or liberals, as you’re about to learn in the following Daily Show clip. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/03/30/jon-stewart-returns-and-r_n_518216.html
