Testing Chat IV: A New Hope

[Oxymoron]

Since when does Nigeria produce uranium ?

Unless you're talking about Niger and not Nigeria ?

...

Listen people, it's not because the same river pass through your countries that you have to both name yourselves after it !

[Aaron]

Well, you knew what I meant.

[Oxymoron]

I'm not aware of any irregularities regarding the quality of the nuclear fuel extracted in Niger.

[Aaron]

No dude, I'm reffering to the lie used to justify the war.

[Theobromine]

If Phant is around I'd be curious to hear how he feels about the ridiculousness going down in Quebec where they banned kids from wearing turbans while playing soccer.

That was a nice bit of bullshit, wasn't it.

The Quebec intelligensia-political complex has been on an run recently on pushing conformity under the guise of "reasonable accommodation." The awful thing is its getting widespread support there so the local politicians are jumping on the bandwagon.

Its a nasty reminder that left-wing economic politics and secularism doesn't always equate with not being a chauvinist.

[Darksi4190]

So can someone tell me why they've apparently turned this into a franchise?

Dollars

[Darksi4190]

Well I for one intend to spend exactly zero dollars getting punched in the face with slo-mo and man-abs for three hours straight. I'm sure someone will put the good battle sequences up on youtube at some point.

[Gands]

It's like Tom Clancy without all of that reading.

[The Spartan]

Fail. It's not 300 without a Greek king speaking with a Scottish accent while slo-mo pirouetting in his combat diapers after telling a mutant that that's not how they fight.

[Darksi4190]

So I found this article over on Spacebattles.

I hereby decree that humanity must begin an immediate war of total extermination against the tick subspecies described within it.

[Gands]

If one was going to turn 300 into a franchise, why not make it about the story of Alexander tearing through Persia?

alternate proposal: free national red meat vaccination program

Well it's like the sliver of unpleasant Anglophobia that creeped into SD.Net in recent years with seemingly all problems of the world beginning and ending with the British Empire then America (then blatantly ignoring the problems caused by rival European powers, local collaborators, pre-British regimes, resistance groups, and post colonial governments).

Is this like the sliver of unpleasant Americaphobia that people talk about when America is criticised and insufficient mention is given of the sins of the Soviet Union/China/etc every time

Pretty much.

[Oxymoron]

I'm sorry... which lies used to justify which war ? There's just so much material to work with there...

[Big Orangutan]

Pretty much.

Yes, the selective and whiney rhetoric in both cases gets mind numbing after a bit.

[Oxymoron]

Apparently Terminator 5 is in the works, with the filming scheduled to start in 2014, and will feature El Governator Schwarzy himself.

[Flagg]

Man so lame.

[The Spartan]

Because that's not about SPARTA! In fact, they refused to participate in his wars.

Which would kill the whole THISISSPARTA! vibe and make them look weak. Or something.

[The Spartan]

The one where Sadaam was actively pursuing yellow cake uranium for a nuke. You know? The one he could launch at us within 45 minutes on his rickety short range rockets? Or give to his hated enemy Al Qaeda to sneak into America and blow up those worthless liberals New York.

[Oxymoron]

I was thirteen in 2003. I didn't really follow the news on that subject...

[Aaron]

Really?

Fair enough then
