  1. I don't disagree with you. As someone involved in the invasion of Grenada, it was hard to not see Reagan as the guy who would do all harm. Plus, my original post was thinking completely about the response to the Iranian Navy as I was stationed out there and hoo haw'd like the rest of them.
  2. That memorial in Star Trek Online consists of a name on a marque that has the names of everyone that has passed away from the franchise. On a similar note, just last week Walter Koenig (Chekhov) gave an interview where he praised the young actor that played his character, and it was a pretty moving choice of words to honor the young man. On a more important note: If they're making a new Star Trek, please let it be true!
  3. I always wondered if they were going to do a second season. I told so many people about this show, but finally gave up cause they figured it wasn't all that interesting. It's a hard show to explain without giving it away. Same as For All Mankind.
  4. There are some fights that you should just avoid because you go to war with the army you have, not the one you wish you had.
  5. I find it amazing how people forget how we demolished the Iranian Navy and several oil platforms over the period of 8 hours when Reagan was president because they attacked one of our destroyers.
  6. Biden says he has decided on response to deaths of U.S. soldiers in Jordan WWW.NBCNEWS.COM The deaths at a base in Jordan on Sunday are the first in months of attacks by Iran-backed militants since the Israel-Hamas war began. Part of me wishes for someone like Reagan in office when something like this happens to us. I may not have liked a lot of his policies, but enemies knew that when you came up against the US, you didn't want Reagan making decisions.
  7. They need to invent that hood from the Apple TV show Foundation and then lock them in a dark room for the rest of their lives. Let them enjoy that for the horrors that it presents.
  8. I appeal to them almost daily. It's usually in response to the drink choices in the cafeteria, but so far it hasn't amounted to any changes.
  9. That's the strangest looking picture of Donald Trump I've ever seen.
  10. For some reason, the Democrat Party contacted me months ago and indicated they wanted me to think about running for local office. I don't know what got them to think I would be a good person to run for office, but over months, they kept contacting me, and now want to set me up to speak to one of their "specialists" this week to see if there's some way to de4velop me for a local political office. Being bored, I said sure, I'd take the call and we can talk about it. I wonder how they'll respond when they discover I'm actually a Republican. Part of me suspects they already know because I live in Texas where the Republicans control everything, and I'd be the type of Republican they'd rather have in office (i.e. non Trumpian). Anyway, thought it was both funny and interesting as I'm a college professor, not a politician.
  11. What amazes me is that they need to have an app installed just to avoid porn. Why aren't they already making sure it's not a desire at all, if they're the Jesus freaks they claim to be? When I went to the Academy, we vowed never to lie, cheat or steal nor to tolerate anyone that did. NOT ONCE did we have to install an app to make sure we were following the creed. It's like their religious affirmations are just posturing, but that's kind of how I felt about it from the start.
  12. Part of me wished it was an Ultima Avatar game, but secretly I knew that was not ever going to happen. I hate EA! (sung to the tune of "I Love LA")
  13. I'm just relieved I never made him laugh. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here today. And that would be a tragedy for all the people here who I still don't make laugh.
