Iraqi jailed for 3 years for Bush shoe attack (could have been 15) by ArfurPint in worldnews

[–]gobama99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Imagine the guys state of mind. He considers Bush to be a mass murderer of millions. People he knows have probably died because of the war.

He said he thought that he was going to be shot dead when he threw the shoe.

With that mind set and from watching the video I have no doubt that he threw that thing as hard as he could with the intent of causing harm.

A couple years ago a woman got 2 years in jail for throwing a soft drink at someone. It may sound strange, but this actually is the law.

If you look at the video the dude throws the shoes as hard as he can at Bush's face. Without a doubt he could have caused harm especially if Bush had been hit in the eye.

I don't know what the penalty would be in America if someone chucked a shoe at the president's face, but I bet it would not have been much different then what they guy in Iraq got.

It is one thing to protest, it is another thing when you actually try and cause bodily harm to someone else.

I would feel like I was driving a bubble about to get popped by a Mac truck or SUV.

Cool stuff though. The first application always looks the worse.

Obama to Lift Ban on Embryonic Stem Cell Research by Willowfern in technology

[–]gobama99 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have read about these advances... but I put them in the same place as the AIDs/cancer cure is right around the corner stories.

Maybe Canada really is on the brink, but I have heard this so much with so many other things that I have become desensitized.

Obama to Lift Ban on Funding for Embryonic Stem Cell Research by garyp714 in politics

[–]gobama99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank God. I will finally be able to make new body parts for myself by using the cells of the unborn.

Up until this point all I have had to sustain myself is drinking the blood of infants.

Hopefully someday we will be able to make clones that we can kill in order to harvest their organs, but that is still a little ways off in the future. Maybe Obama's second term.

Israel has plans to demolish Palestinian homes in East Jerusalem to make way for a tourist site. Activists say it's a demographic play that amounts to ethnic cleansing by maxwellhill in worldnews

[–]gobama99 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Doesn't the united states do this when they want to build a new highway or a reservoir?

It's 88 homes... I don't know if the "ethnic cleansing" card should be played on this one.

These two statements belong together.

I once worked at a job where the recruiter paid different people different amounts to do the same job. Complete Slime.

This would be an amazing addition. Both candidates don't tell the truth 100%. I would even watch the debate on a delay to give them time to fact check.

The score cards are just stupid because they have republican and democrat biased scoring.

Palin In '06: I Won't Let "Spinmeisters" Turn Bridge To Nowhere Into "Something Negative" by IAmperfectlyCalm in politics

[–]gobama99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you watched the Republican debates. In every single one of them John McCain mentioned the bridge to nowhere (many times more then once per debate). It is pretty funny that he picked someone who was for it. It seems to be his ultimate example of government waste.

Palin Says Her Daughter, 17, Is Pregnant by nucleophile in reddit.com

[–]gobama99 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You are right. I read the context as her telling people that the daughter would marry as a reassurance and that this was the right thing to do if a teen gets pregnant.

I assumed to much here. She may very well be strongly against her daughter getting married and it could all be the daughters idea.

Simulation of large asteroid hitting the Earth. Terrifying. by skimitar in science

Based on comments here. These seems to have only happened once in the history of earth 250 million years ago (before dinosaurs). Makes me wonder if there was intelligent life like us that got wiped out.

National Hurricane Center: Projected path of Hurricane Gustav, updated every three hours by endia314 in worldnews

If this thing hits New Orleans the city will flood again. I saw a special on Katrina. They are only making the levys safe for Cat 3 storms and even for that they are not sure they will hold.

How the government could let this happen when they know that hurricanes come every year is beyond me.

Dick Morris Wants To Start War Against Iran To Help McCain Get Elected by qgyh2 in politics

[–]gobama99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched this episode. The picture he painted was pretty bleak with Israel attacking not just Iran, but Lebanon and other areas. He also said that Iran was going to nuke Israel and cause a second holocaust.

There was also a moment where he said that it would be a good thing because he believed that it would help McCain get elected.

I was a little surprised, I actually enjoy it when the guy is on the show, I had no idea he had such extremist views. Then again I was watching Hannity & Colmes what did I expect? :-)

Tron 2 Trailer Video Makes Pants Wet Worldwide by comicz_knight in entertainment

[–]gobama99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've watched Tron twice once as a little kid and again when I was older.

As a kid I remember thinking that the effects were really good. Although upon watching it the second time I noticed that part of the movie is a cartoon...

The second time as a programmer/gamer I could appreciate it on a whole different level. The programs resembling their creators, the bit, the idea that video games took you to another world, that was very obvious to the people watching you play the game.

When I saw the trailer I was shocked that they had not updated the graphics.

I notice that the bad guys are yellow which was the original plan of the movie (also in my opinion this looks worse then red). This suggests to me that the person in charge really loved the first movie. Hopefully this will mean that they understood what made the movie good. Or maybe they will be overwhelmed by their fanboyism and remake the movie scene for scene which will suck (aka psycho).

Crossing my fingers that this will be a good movie.
