  - there were the May Day ''riots'' last week -- nm - hotkiss7348 May 10, 17:30 4
    - Finger quotes around the word "riots"? Subtle. -- nm - Roger More May 10, 17:34 3

        no tanks rolling over barricades, no snipers taking out protestors, sheesh we're a buncha slackers -- nm - zeitgeist May 10, 17:40
        
        That's right. I didn't mean to imply HK was behind the riots or anything. That would mean I know too much. Which i don't! Honest! -- nm - Roger More May 10, 17:38
  - yet... -- nm - Beaker May 10, 17:29

  - Full House went to Disney World. -- nm - Reagen May 10, 17:26 4
    - was ABC owned by Disney back then? - prayformojo May 10, 17:28 3
      - not owned by it looks like, but they've had an association since the 50s. -- nm - Reagen May 10, 17:29 2
        
        huh. no idea it went back that far -- nm - prayformojo May 10, 17:31

    - He mentioned it in Tribal as one of the reasons he should be taken to the end. "Who'd want to vote for a millionaire?" -- nm - Roger More May 10, 17:18 3
      - He's a really weird dude. Like dignan weird. -- nm - David May 10, 17:19 2
        
        Normally that insult goes the other way, but I think this time you owe Dignan an apology. ;) -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 17:21 1
        
        That might rip a hole into the very fabric of time and space. -- nm - Bacon May 10, 17:21

- it's still in place. have to register within a month of turning 18. -- nm - b. May 10, 17:00
- Yes. You can't get financial aid if you don't -- nm - the liioulu with papers May 10, 17:00 15
  - Ah that's interesting. So here is my next question. Why don't women have to do it now? - Bacon May 10, 17:01 14
    - Because it is intended to facilitate enrolling cannon fodder quickly. Young women aren't - TWuG May 10, 17:04 1
      - We only produce cannon fodder. -- nm - the liioulu with papers May 10, 17:06
    - BWAHAHAHAHA!!! -- nm - Iron Spawn May 10, 17:03 9
      - Well, we would be less likely to go to war if Sons and Daughters were at risk. Obama only has Daughters. - Bacon May 10, 17:04 8
        
        Yeah, we want to actually *win* if we go to war. - Iron Spawn May 10, 17:05 7
        
        Let me clean that joke up for you: "Women should be manning the chow line, not the front line." -- nm - TWuG May 10, 17:07
        
        Then why are so many chefs male? -- nm - the liioulu with papers May 10, 17:07 4
        
        Cause someone has to teach the women how to cook right! -- nm - Stephen May 10, 17:12
        
        I didn't say women were good there, just doing less damage. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 10, 17:09 2
        
        I'm thinking you two are in for a week or two of kp duty right now. ;P -- nm - the liioulu with papers May 10, 17:15 1
        
        Make that 3. -- nm - the liioulu with papers May 10, 17:17
        
        Well, if you throw logic at me I have no argument. -- nm - Bacon May 10, 17:06
    - Because they're women. And aren't allowed on the front lines. - the liioulu with papers May 10, 17:02

I've never seen a post-WW2 American politician flip-flop on Switzerland before. -- nm - David May 10, 16:41 11
- something I saw but haven't confirmed is that she got the citizenship for her daughters but not her sons - Reagen May 10, 16:49 5
  - I heard yesterday that she had said that some of her kids wanted to go for dual, so they decided to do it as a family. - b. May 10, 16:57
  - This is my shocked face. -- nm - TWuG May 10, 16:49 2
    - Only other People's Sons should fight our wars. -- nm - Most Politicians May 10, 16:50 1
      - It feeds the rich while it buries the poor. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 10, 17:35
  - Son of a Swiss! -- nm - Bacon May 10, 16:49
- All I can think of is that she thought it hurt her future political chances. - Bacon May 10, 16:46 4
  - IMO, it should hurt her chances. It'd be hard for her to continue to call opponents un-American when she's half Swiss by choice. -- nm - TWuG May 10, 16:49 3
    - Ding! But now she is a flip flopper -- nm - Bacon May 10, 16:50 2
      - But she flipped to the "right" position so it won't count against her. -- nm - TWuG May 10, 16:52
      - Yes. Tainted Gov! -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 16:50
Avengers was excellent. the Stan Lee cameo ruined it. he was tolerable a decade ago with his Spidey & FF cameo's, but now he ain't. - peglegpete May 10, 16:39 20
- Disagree. I love the Stan Lee cameos. -- nm - Stephen May 10, 17:07 1
  - The ones in the Iron Man movies, where Stark mistakes him for Hugh Hefner and Larry King, are my favorites. -- nm - Roger More May 10, 17:32
- colin would have given it an A if not for Stan the Man. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 10, 16:45
- grr. not all of us have seen the movie yet. please put content inside messages. -- nm - b. May 10, 16:41 16
  - That's a very ticky tack spoiler given Stan's in just about all of these for a second or two. -- nm - Will Hunting May 10, 16:51 2
    - Well, just from reading ST (and avoiding posts tagged spoiler) I already knew (spoiler) - the wrong element, bad guy May 10, 16:59
    - nm but: -- (link) - b. May 10, 16:53 [Backboard]
  - the one thing you should know going in, is that there are 2 scenes in the final credits, not 1 like the previous Marvel films. -- nm - peglegpete May 10, 16:45 5
    - thanks - that I did know, but it's a good reminder. (and I'd never complain about something general like that.) -- nm - b. May 10, 16:48 1
      - Stan Lee plays an Army General in the second clip during the credits. - Bacon May 10, 16:49
    - Fuck! Now you are giving away the ending?? - Bacon May 10, 16:47 2
      - Great, now she knows it ends. -- nm - Reagen May 10, 16:48 1
        
        "this is good, it give me hope." -- nm - b. May 10, 16:51
  - You're totally not spoiled at all. Trust me on this. -- nm - Reagen May 10, 16:44 5
    - thanks, but it's still not ok. -- nm - b. May 10, 16:46
    - This -- nm - con_carne May 10, 16:45 3
      - They're lying! Everything is ruined! Don't even bother going! -- nm - TWuG May 10, 16:45 2
        
        heh, I did figure it wasn't that way for most people. what with all the As most people here have given it. -- nm - b. May 10, 16:49 1
        
        I'll say this: You could probably read the script and still be blown away by how good this movie is. -- nm - TWuG May 10, 17:05
  - Sorry. I thought you knew that his ego dictated that he is in all of them. -- nm - peglegpete May 10, 16:43

    - You could have stopped at too old :-) -- nm - eag May 10, 16:35
  - I was worried you would be too drunk if I waited any longer -- nm - Bacon May 10, 16:31
