Owned. Completely owned.

I just found the LtCol's journal of his experience with PFC Phelps that the film is based on. It's very moving. Definetely worth your time. http://www.blackfive.net/main/2004/04/taking_chance.html

Looks like a great movie. I've got to say that I'm very impressed with HBO and Kevin Bacon for making this film. I'm not sure what Bacon's political ideas are, but I really don't care. Given the common political climate of Hollywood, Kevin Bacon probably took a lot of flak for this. Props to him for having the courage to see past the political BS and honoring the most heroic among us.

Mark my words - If Obama's favorability ratings ever get below 40%, the "racist" cry will be so loud. The media, academia, "intellectuals", etc. will bitch and moan that since the country isn't embracing the Messiah's socialist policies, we are bunch of yokel redneck inbreedin' racists.

You insensitive bastard. Your neocon parents must have not made you watch "Fernguly" enough.

The best part is the 1:46 mark of the second video. The guy's impression of the hippies screaming is priceless. "I want to thank trees for LSD paper." "I want to thank trees for George Washington's teeth."

You didn't visit the internet until September of last year?

The first video is real, the second a parody. I haven't laughed this hard in months!

I agree with your 1st point. CEO's that have sucked to the point where they get bailed out by the government should be shit-canned. Although, this is a mute point in my view. I don't think the government should ever bail out a company. I somewhat disagree with your second point. It may be that American CEO's are grossly overpaid. However, if that is true, their companies will suffer and fail. Take away the government bailouts, and the excess salaries will go away. CEO's will get paid based on the performance of their corporation. This should NOT be regulated by the government. It's not within the proper role of government to regulate wages or bail out bad corporations.

Ok, were you joking about being "all about the free market"? Obviously you are far from it. Why do you hate corporations so much? I cannot believe you are in favor of a "maximum wage". Marxism isn't cool man. Ya, let's put a max on how high someone can achieve. That's real American! That will encourage peole to achieve and produce wealth! If you are worried about greedy institutions, your fear is misplaced. It's the damn government you need to be worried about. Corporate executives earn a lot of money by providing goods and services to people that people actually want. Nobody forces you to pay money to a corporation (unless that's bailouts, which is really just government taking control of corporations). Government just takes money, whether you like it or not, and gives much less in return. Their whole purpose in taxing and spending is to gain power and enslave people to social programs. Now who is greedy? I must admit, I have a difficult time reading your posts, as you consistantly contradict yourself and say things that, even if are meant to be sarcastic, come off as incoherent BS. But thanks for playin.

http://www.reuters.com/article/latestCrisis/idUSN30409490 ""It's hard to see how we could spend less on the military in the near term," Richard Danzig, a former Navy secretary who advises Obama on national security, told Reuters in an interview." This was June of last year. Guess the Messiah wasn't being honest. Only took him 10 days to reverse this policy.

Caveman, I've been trying as hard as I can to ignore your rambling non-coherant posts, but when you say BS like this... I can't resist. WTF are you talking about? Slick Willy? OPEN AND FREE DIALOGUE!?!? You are talking about on of the most evasive, secretive, and slimy politicians of the modern era. Remember the Whitewater scandal, sex scandals, flat out lying under oath, etc. You think he was an honest upfront guy with the media? Man, you drink the Demo Kool-Aid.

Now this is the change I can believe in. This gives me hope.

Hope your guy doesn't read this forum!

I've been reading info about potential UPT bases I might be headed to after I graduate this December. I have some questions about Whiting NAS. I put it as #1 on my list because of the location, plus I have family in FL. I've read that it takes longer to finish there as opposed to AF UPT bases. Why is this? Slower paced or more training? I've also read that those who go to Whiting don't do casual status. Do they go to IFS? If so, when? Also, what chances do I have of going there since I put it at #1? Does that even matter? Thanks ya'll.

I have about 40 hours of flying time and would probably need about 10 more to get my PP License. Getting the license is not important enough for me right now if it doesn't affect my getting a pilot slot in ROTC. I know flight hours affects your PCSM, but does having a license even matter? Thanks.
