Would you consider the film Team America: World Police?
to be liberal or conservative and why?
I agree it mocks liberals and conservatives.. However, many conservatives seem to believe otherwise.


Neither. It’s satire. It pretty well takes both sides to task for their idiocy.

Neither, Libertarian.

It makes fun of how both liberals and conservatives approach the war on terror.

And plus, the term "world police" is something that libertarians don’t like.

A great comedy.

It’s from the makers of south park, what do you think? So Niether.

Great movie though
Omar | Dec 24, 2009


It makes fun of both sides, but in a sense i came away from it thinking that it makes fun of liberals just a little bit more-as does alot of episodes of South Park.

Best place to check is craigslist.com or EBAY.com

You may not be able to find an true SS but there should be plenty of worn out Chevelles on Craigslist.

Unless it’s a fully restored factory stock original the "SS" on the fender won’t mean anything.

If the Chevelle is to much money look for a Buick Skylark or a Pontiac Tempest. Same car, same components, some performance just a different grille and tail lights and way cheaper than the hugely popular Chevy.
mccoyblues | Feb 03, 2010


stay away from graigslist look at e-bay also if you want olds cutlass/ pontiac gto/buick skylark all in the 68 to 72 year will all be the same frame and so forth i know you want the chevy but in case you don’t find what you want the other 3 are good and parts are still around

Welcome to Down On The Street, where we admire old vehicles found parked on the streets of the Island That Rust Forgot: Alameda, California. Today we’re going to look at an example of the kind of car that dominated my early gearhead experiences on the island: a beat-to-hell big-block 60s muscle car! There was once a time when primered-out Chevelles, Satellites, Fairlanes, and the like (along with hooned-up Beetles and 510s) could be found lowering property values on just about every block of Alameda

Transformers
Transformers (2007)

IMDB rating: 7.50

Plot: A long time ago, far away on the planet of Cybertron, a war was being waged between the noble Autobots (led by the wise Optimus Prime) and the devious Decepticons (commanded by the dreaded Megatron) for control over the Allspark, a mystical talisman that would grant unlimited power to whoever possessed it. The Autobots managed to smuggle the Allspark off the planet, but Megatron blasted off in search of it. He eventually tracked it to the planet of Earth (circa 1850), but his reckless desire for power sent him right into the Arctic Ocean, and the sheer cold forced him into a paralyzed state. His body was later found by Captain Archibald Witwicky, and before going into a comatose state Megatron used the last of his energy to engrave a map, showing the location of the Allspark, into the Captain’s glasses, and send a transmission to Cybertron. He is then carted away by the Captain’s ship. A century later, Sam Witwicky, nicknamed Spike by his friends, buys his first car. To his shock, he discovers it to be Bumblebee, an Autobot in disguise who is to protect Spike, as he bears the Captain’s glasses and the map carved on them. But Bumblebee is not the only Transformer to have arrived on Earth - in the desert of Qatar, the Decepticons Blackout and Scorponok attack a U.S. military base, causing the Pentagon to send their special Sector Seven agents to capture all “specimens of this alien race,” and Spike and his girlfriend Mikaela find themselves in the middle of a grand battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons, stretching from Hoover Dam all the way to Los Angeles. Meanwhile, within the depths of Hoover Dam, the cryogenically stored form of Megatron awakens…

Who will win the Razzie 4 Worst Remake, Rip-Off, or Sequel?
Here are the nominees:

"G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra"
"Land of the Lost"
"Pink Panther 2"
"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen"
"Twilight Saga: New Moon"

I should mention that my childhood was shaped by the entities that inspired "Transformers," "G.I. Joe," "The Pink Panther," & "Land of the Lost." I watched the cartoons, "Pink Panther" 2 a lesser extent as it wasn’t always on. & I never really liked the TV show "Land of the Lost." & I only collected the Transformers toys (all gone now). One of my 2 reasons I haven’t seen these films is perhaps not 2 get 2 nostalgic about my childhood & stuff; the other reason’s that they would b Razzie-nomin8d this year.

I’m pretty sure the panel will choose "Transformers" as a full attack on a very popular film. But my pick would be "The Pink Panther II." This entire renewal of that franchise seems pointless to me & Steve Martin is acting like a blatant sellout. I would just prefer to see The Pink Panther do more insulation commercials again. The 30th Raspberries take place March 6.


I only saw Transformers and it was one of the worst high budget movies I have seen. It was the first time I heard Megan Fox talk. Her voice was so high pitched it hurt. The ghetto talking robots floored me. Also lots of sexual situations for a movie aimed at a younger crowd. The evil transformer that was disguised as a hot college girl was a bit much. Just a horrific movie.
Ant | Feb 05, 2010


I would have to say Land of the Lost, but Transformers ,too. Transformers was a real disappointment but that was unexpected since it came from Michael Bay who hits and misses a lot, so maybe it might just be Transformers since it was such a disappointment

What is the name of this 80s or 90s cartoon movie?
It was from the late 80s or early 90s I think. There was a something to do with a swamp monster and a gold necklace. The monster turns out to be a man fooling the towns people. The hero rescues an old woman from almost being killed as a witch. Her pretty blond daughter of course ends up with him. I think the hero showed up in the beginning on a boat. Anyone have any ideas?


sounds like scooby doo. lol.

Escape from L.A.
Escape from L.A. (1996)

IMDB rating: 5.10

Plot: Sequel to “Escape From New York”. In 2000, a huge earthquake hits Los Angeles which causes the whole city to be now situated on an island. In that year the new life-term US President, an out-spoken moralist declares that all people not conforming to the high morals he sets for the country will be deported to the Los Angeles island. Like New York, a wall is built, guards posted to stop any escapes and if sent there - you can’t return to the US. In 2013, Cuervo Jones, a terrorist invades the dreams of the President’s daughter, Utopia, and brainwashes her into stealing a device from a weapons establishment and runs with Cuervo to the island. Snake Plissken, hero of Escape From New York, is forced again to go to the island to get the device by the President (who doesn’t care if Utopia returns or not.) and he is poisoned to ensure his co-operation. Like New York, Los Angeles is now a decaying city, a hot-bed of scum and weirdos and Snake has 9 hours to find the device and Utopia, and get out before the poison kicks in.

Stargate: The Ark of Truth (2008)

IMDB rating: 7.10

Plot: SG-1 searches for an ancient weapon which could help them defeat the Ori, and discover it may be in the Ori’s own home galaxy. As the Ori prepare to send ships through to the Milky Way to attack Earth, SG-1 travels to the Ori galaxy aboard the Odyssey.

Actors: Browder Ben,Judge Christopher,Shanks Michael,Bridges Beau,Graham Currie,Guinee Tim,Sands Julian,Beach Michael,Jones Gary,Christopher Martin,Adventure,Fantasy,Sci-Fi,

is there going to be another stargate sg-1 movie
during stargate: continuum Ba’al said, and i quote "I’m not the last of the Goa’auld System Lords" that the original ba’al may still be out there, i dont know but that kind of hits to me as another stargate movie, is this ture, or not

but on a completely different note relating to the movie, i thought it was a pretty awesome movie just as good as Ark of Truth, dont you agree?


Actually thought it superior to the Ark of Truth and hope this is not the last we hear of SG1 as like yourself, I spotted the obvious opening for yet another movie. Own them all as well as SG1’s 1-10 series sets. I am hopeful the producers will note Gate fans are still present and accounted for and will take advantage of our purchase numbers as an indication we will buy more tales.

Plot: Russian mobster Terek Murad has declared open season on the Russian militia and the FBI over the shooting of his brother in a Moscow nightclub. He hires the Jackal, a nasty assassin whom nobody has even seen, to kill the Director of the FBI. With nowhere else to turn (except a woman who used to work with the Basque separatists, who is now in the USA but whose exact whereabouts in unknown to all save Mulqueen), FBI Deputy Director Carter Preston (who was present at the Moscow shooting) and Major Valentina Koslova of the Russian milita (who pulled the trigger in that shooting) enlist the reluctant services of Declan Mulqueen, an imprisoned IRA sniper, to track the Jackal down, for Declan is the only other person who can positively identify the Jackal.

can a cheetah………..?
could a cheetah take down a jackal , a baby fox and two eagle if not so could 6 cheetahs


wait what? at the same time? Yes those are all within possibility, given the eagles are grounded in their case. The jackal if not caught off guard has a chance to be able to fight it off or outdistance it in an endurance race.

At the same time that’s asking a bit much though. 6 could in the same scenarios.

The baby fox definitely if it had no deep den.

nekospiritfire | Jan 11, 2010


At the same time? Well it would never need to so there is no way of saying.

If it had to chase a Jackal at a high speed, then the fox at a high speed I doubt it, as they can only run really fast for a few minutes 4-5 at the most.

It could very easily kill each of these animals in different sittings though. The eagles would be harder as they can fly, but if they where grounded and eating or something then yes.
Panthera Onca | Jan 11, 2010


haha funny question.a cheetah could probably get a jackal and a baby fox but not eagles because they are in the air… 6 cheetahs could still not get the eagles

how to train your mouse?
I found a mouse on the street and it was snowing at the time so i bought some woodshavings, food and a fish tank and my dad made a lid with a lock so my cats will not eat it, we set in a tube and a zip block bag box as well. The mouse has been here for two days but he is very timid and will not let me pet him or anything but i really want to train him to sit on my hand. I read on the internet that mice are very social but mine is not. Does anyone no why? We think he was a runaway from the pet store, becase he looks very clean and fat, but the people that worked their said that they were not missing any mice.


It sounds like your mouse may not be a pet store mouse. Even if he is pet stores get their mice at an older age and they aren’t well socialized. Its probably not used to people grabbing at it.

As far as training rats train better than mice. You want your mouse to come to your hand so I suggest you figure out its favorite treat and fill your hand with it. Keep its cage open and be prepared to sit there for a while.Over time your mouse will associate you with food. You could also make a certain noise such as clicking your tongue when you give your mouse treats to get it to get the sound connected to food. Good luck.

Pleaseee urgent help needed ! 10 points for best answer!!?
I am reposting my question because I only got an answer and I would like to read more opinions about it thx :)

Right, I’ve never had a boyfriend. Some of my friends have asked me why? and I answered them I didn’t really understand. One of them suggested that maybe it is because I intimidate boys. She told me that some girls do unintentionally. I know that very beautiful and intelligent women intimidate men but that is not my case (don’t misunderstand me, I consider myself pretty but I’m not a model and I am not a highly-gifted person either).

I’ve been wondering why boys keep away from me (dont ask me out) although some of them look at me a lot in the street, for instance. Oh and II am kind with everyone and I tell jokes quite often(I’m not a rude, boring person).

And plus, this guy I like won’t even talk to me ! why? I dont understand whats up with me or with boys. I think I havent done anything bad :S

IMDB rating: 7.10

Plot: Somewhere in the 80s, trucker Jack Burton arrives in a small town to deliver his cargo and win a few bucks playing cards with the locals down at the Chinese market. Practically bankrupting nearly all of his opponents, his friend Wang bets him a game of “double or nothing” to try and regain his cash and loses. Jack wants his well earned money, but Wang explains he doesn’t have the cash on him and that’ll he pay later because he’s due to pick up a long, lost girlfriend from the airport. Convinced Wang’s pulling something sly, Jack insists he drive Wang to the airport so they can stick together. However, at the airport Wang’s girlfriend is captured by the Lords of Death, a streetwise Chinatown gang. She is essential for an upcoming plan to revive a thousand year old Chinese sorcerer and bring him back to the world as a mortal again. So begins a daring adventure to rescue Wang’s girl and stop the ruthless operation that’s going on down in Little China. Teaming up with a cast of very different individuals, Jack and Wang delve deep into an uncovering conspiracy in which everything’s not exactly as it seems. Here comes big trouble…

Is this why our country is in trouble?
This was an email and of course not verified, but it wouldn’t surprise me at all if it was the truth!

Why our country is in trouble

A DC airport ticket agent offers some examples of why our country is in trouble!

1. I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman (Carol
Shea-Porter) ask for an aisle seat so that her hair wouldn’t get
messed up by being near the window. (On an airplane!)

2. I got a call from a Kansas Congressman’s (Moore) staffer
(Howard Bauleke), who wanted to go to Capetown. I started to
explain the length of the flight and the passport information,
and then he interrupted me with, ”I’m not trying to make you
look stupid, but Capetown is in Massachusetts”

Without trying to make him look stupid, I calmly
explained, ”Cape Cod is in Massachusetts, Capetown is in
Africa”

His response — click.

3. A senior Vermont Congressman (Bernie Sanders) called, furious
about a Florida package we did. I asked what was wrong with the
vacation in Orlando . He said he was expecting an ocean-view
room. I tried to explain that’s not possible, since Orlando is
in the middle of the state.

He replied, ‘don’t lie to
me, I looked on the map and Florida is a very thin state!”
(OMG)

4. I got a call from a lawmaker’s wife
(Landra Reid) who asked, ”Is it possible to see England from
Canada ?”

I said, ”No.”

She said, ”But they look so close on the map.” (OMG, again!)

5. An aide for a cabinet member ( Janet Napolitano) once called and
asked if he could rent a car in Dallas . I pulled up the
reservation and noticed he had only a 1-hour layover in Dallas .
When I asked him why he wanted to rent a car, he said, ”I heard
Dallas was a big airport, and we will need a car to drive
between gates to save time.” (Aghhhh)

6. An Illinois Congresswoman (Jan Schakowsky) called last week.
She needed to know how it was possible that her flight from
Detroit left at 8:30 a.m., and got to Chicago at 8:33 a.m.

I explained that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois
, but she couldn’t understand the concept of time zones.
Finally, I told her the plane went fast, and she bought that.

7. A New York lawmaker, (Jerrold Nadler) called
and asked, ”Do airlines put your physical description on your
bag so they know whose luggage belongs to whom?” I said, ‘No,
why do you ask?’

He replied, ”Well, when I checked in with the airline, they put a tag on my luggage that said (FAT), and I’m overweight. I think that’s very rude!”

After putting him on hold for a minute, while I looked into it. (I was
dying laughing). I came back and explained the city code for
Fresno , Ca. is (FAT - Fresno Air Terminal), and the airline was
just putting a destination tag on his luggage.

8. A Senator John Kerry aide (Lindsay Ross) called to inquire about
a trip package to Hawaii . After going over all the cost info,
she asked, ”Would it be cheaper to fly to California and then
take the train to Hawaii ?”

9. I just got off the phone with a freshman Congressman, Bobby Bright (D) from Ala who asked, ”How do I know which plane to get on?”

I asked him what exactly he meant, to which he replied, ”I was
told my flight number is 823, but none of these planes have
numbers on them.”

10. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D) called and said, ”I need to fly to Pepsi-Cola , Florida .
Do I have to get on one of those little computer planes?”

I asked if she meant fly to Pensacola , FL on a commuter
plane.

She said, ”Yeah, whatever, smarty!”

11. Mary Landrieu (D) La. Senator called and had a question
about the documents she needed in order to fly to China . After
a lengthy discussion about passports, I reminded her that she
needed a visa. ‘Oh, no I don’t. I’ve been to China many times
and never had to have one of those.”

I double checked and sure enough, her stay required a visa. When I told her this she said, ”Look, I’ve been to China four times and every time they have accepted my American Express!”

12. A New Jersey Congressman (John Adler) called to make reservations, ”I want to go from Chicago to Rhino, New York .”

I was at a loss for words. Finally, I said, ”Are you sure that’s the
name of the town?”

‘Yes, what flights do you have?” replied the man.

After some searching, I came back with,
”I’m sorry, sir, I’ve looked up every airport code in the
country and can’t find a rhino anywhere."

”The man retorted, ”Oh, don’t be silly! Everyone knows where it is.
Check your map!”

So I scoured a map of the state of New
York and finally offered, ”You don’t mean Buffalo , do you?”

The reply? ”Whatever! I knew it was a big animal.”

Now you know why the Government is in the shape that
it’s in!

YES, THEY WALK AMONG US, THEY ARE IN
POLITICS, THEY MAKE OUR LAWS, AND THEY CONTINUE TO BREED.
I haven’t even checked to see which party these names belong to, to me it was just funny about how ignorant the people we trust to take care of us in Washington can be, and how out of touch with things they appear to be. Doesn’t matter which party, they are much the same in that regard.


Sadly these things probably have happened at one time or another!
Hopefully not to our politicians or their employees but it might very well be true!
I think Politicians are just like us and they are very knowledgeble about what they are interested in and sometimes daft about everyday things.

And then you have a President that uses phrases like

You are all wee weed out…and you are getting all ginned up.

He supposedly has a good education….I guess he got the wee wee diploma while doing cocaine smoking pot and getting all ginned up.

I’m not bashing you since you already acknowledged that the email was not verified, but it sounds to me like a travel agent took every funny story they knew and attributed them to political names.

It seem rather unbiased to one party or the other however, so no harm.

Funny though.

This was pretty funny. I mean, even if they were stories with the names of government officials substituted for the names of the actual customers, it’s still funny. You know what’s even worse if these were true stories? I picked up on everything right away, and I’m Canadian! No insult to Americans on this one, but I wonder if an American would find a similar level of humour in something with Canadian places substituted?
