We'd watch it to laugh at how ridiculous it was, if we watched it at all considering...

Quote: Why were they trying to cut the destruction beam? Why didn't they just beam down to the platform instead of jumping?? Because the beam interfered with all those electronic things. That's why they were trying to stop it, so they could use shields and transport. You musta missed that part. i forgot that the beam interferred with the old federation tech, but it should not have intereferred at all with the romulan tech since it...

You Americans really scare me

It appears to be an obligatory part of justice in most western countries that the rights of the law breaker always take precedence over those of the victim. Similarly the rights of a business man who, in good faith, provides goods or services always comes second best to those of the reluctant debtor who does not want to pay for them. Also most privacy legislation protects and hides the wrongdoer from the wronged. As it was and ever shall be.

Wasn't the point. Beating someone, etc, with the clear desire to hurt them about as much as you can strikes me as worse than driving carelessly, however bad driving carelessly may be. __________________ Never miss a good chance to shut up. -- Will Rogers, 1879 - 1935 QOTD My blog: Things Have Changed

Good question! I suppose that Simpson's is mostly watched by children, and so, they decided that they need a warning for the protection of smaller kids. It's ridiculous! Why can't they leave it up to the parents to decide which shows their children are allowed to watch?

And maybe it has : You may have heard the story of the man who spent his first day in jail. That evening, all of the inmates gathered about in the courtyard. One man would call out a number, and then the rest would laugh heartily. Another number would then be called, with even more laughter. So it went for the evening. When the man returned to his cell, he turned to his cell-mate and asked, “What was going on out there?” “Oh,” his...

Quote: Berman and Braga started with the temporal crap. Enterprise was full of it which is why I stopped watching it. Once they had gotten away with breaking the the original Star Trek time line in First Contact I think they figured anything goes. In that one they didn't even try to be careful about making changes. Pretty much anything after that, which includes Enterprise, is basically a parallel Universe. F __________________...

I have to post this again. It's the most poignant performance I can remember. YouTube - Johnny Cash Hurt

I hate the dreaded mobile phone they seem to be everywhere you go with some moron shouting into them. Why do you need a mobile phone if you have to shout at them. And when I mean everywhere they certainly are; in church, on the train, on buses and coaches, in supermarkets and toilets. They insanely shout into saying, 'I'm on the train/bus/coach.' Then you stare at them and they have the cheek to say 'stop listening to my...
