Yeah, for real. Isn't it HIGH time they made a few completely trans-light blue minifigs for the Star Wars line? We need zee holograms!

Yeah, Amazon had them really early... and they were like $6.74 or something for a few days. Unfortunately, this online work thingy that puts money into an Amazon gift certificate for me, I'd already spent on other sets.

Better yet, CHAINGUNS! Yeah, laws. I think the cannons you're talking about are different than the cannons that come with the Dino set, right? If so, it's a choking hazard law. Back in the late 1970's, some STUPID kid here swallowed and died on a plastic missille fired from a Battlestar Galactica Cylon Raider. Yup... it's all THAT thing's fault. VVVV It was the tiny pellet type that EVERY imported japanese robot toy had back then. They were then outlawed. Toys SUCKED for a very long time afterwards... neutered so bad from their overseas counterparts that it could make one cry. We got The Transformers a few years later in the 1980's, but unlike the japanese versions, Hasbro removed and or shortened the springs inside their missille launchers to the point they couldn't fire. (Leading to many a spring-loaded pen being cannibalized on the operating table in the lunchroom at school by me and my friends.) XD Voltron as well, and too many other cool toys to start mentioning. But recently, toy manufacturers got around the annoying laws by making GIANTLY-stemmed projectiles, like the Lego rubber darts. The tiny cannons however didn't fit the strict requirements.

FEMALE!

Insectoid SCUM? Twas their trans neon green, flashing lights and cricket sounds which made me irreversibly detour into the Lego aisle at Toys R Us one day! HAVE AT YOU! *deet*deet*deet*deet*deet*deet*deet*

crispen Posted on Dec 12 2005, 08:29 PM he probaly beleives the "big-bang" theory. Honestly? No clue. And that's okay. The curiosity is there, but heck... I have no way of knowing. Neither do you. Deal. But I won't do myself the dis-service of assuming it was done by a creature. Hey... since the (pathetic) trumpcard often used against me when someone's arguing about god is "Yeah, well where did the UNIVERSE come from? Who do you think did that?!?" ...I must then turn it around and say "Yeah well who made this god thing? Who do you think made him?!?". Seriously... it's the SAME argumentative question, but I'll be treated as some crazy badguy for asking it. Therein lies another prime example of the elitism.The"vanity", if you will. Am I wrong? Well uh... I'm not the one condemning good people to ETERNAL HELLFIRE on a messageboard for not converting to my perspective, am I?

Terrible argument as use of verification of truth.Was it not that wonderful religion that used to persecute people who believed the world was round and other sciences?Just because TONS of people believe something does not make it true. Likewise, I'm not pulling what I know about this god out my butt either. Know what... you're right. F every one but me. I'm smart... I can steal and rape and take what I want from this world without ever getting in trouble. Thanks for the heads up! Okay, now I was in Catholic elementary school from grades1-6. WE were taught even the most sick monster, like a Hitler or a Jeffrey Dahmer could go to heaven so long as they said "I accept god" before they die. Same with people who wear scapulars (sic?) But then again, the accuracy at which the scripture is interpreted to it's followers by person to person is a HACK JOB at best, so how you were taught is possibly 100% different than how we were taught a decade and a half ago. You mean he hasn't?

Not really. Is the universe being infinite proof of the Flying Spaghetti Monster? Since there's a 100% chance of everything, that means the Spaghetti Monster must exist, right? ;) (Sorry, I'm a bit obssessed with the Spaghetti Monster) And I don't think there is a 100% chance of everything. Only things that follow the laws of the universe (so there won't be any really weird things happening in outer space). Exactly... there'll be some wacky things, but hyper-specific events, such as a nike shoe materializing out in the middle of a field without intelligent (accidental or intentional) help... that is impossible. At the same time, it's foolish to say that because people and nature were made, that it was due to intelligent design. Who gauges what "normal" design is to base "intelligent" off of? What's the correct theory for "give it time and it'll happen" design?I see humans and animals and such as just a logical mutation of environmental conditions... nothing anywhere near as complex as a materializing nike shoe. Aliens too... I'd classify them as perfectly natural progressions of time, just as we are.

I love that. You're like the first non-smoker who isn't condescending to those of us who do. Too many think the public sidewalk ban junk is A-Ok, while it's clearly insane. If you're going to ban "stinky" things, I'd go after old ladies who make me want to LITERALLY VOMIT from too much perfume.

X D The judges would also have accepted : "Ah, dangit. We lost our light! That's a wrap, people. Be back here at 8am so we can have the shoot done by lunch."

Red and White pods are generous in weird parts. Blue and Green seriously skimp out on 1x1 slopes, but overall they're not too bad. Green loses, as far as assortment goes.

As I'm starting to see as a trend, Amazon.com (merged with Toys R Us) also got the sets, and also in trend, at a decently cheaper cost than Lego Shop@home. But following a THIRD trend... they sold out QUICKLY. X D

Oh cool, they got a dragon crest! "... ...Yeah, well... uh, ours is LONGER!" Right, but I mean come on... a DRAGON! "Ours is a MAST a BIG, LONG MAST!" *sing*

Ya... but Lego's is way too dark and incorrectly colored. Hopefully it'll change. I think IG-88 comes off rather nicely.

o_O Eh... if some vain, elitist entity tries to eternally hurt me when I die because I refused to asskiss it... then hell it is.

You're... serious? Post 1, You don't need religion or a god to be good. yes but you do need them to go to heaven :| So... no matter how good I am in life towards myself and others... I'm going to hell or purgatory for not kissing the feet of an entity? Please, this doesn't make sense. No matter HOW good you are, you get PUNISHED for not believing in someone?

You're... serious? Post 1, You don't need religion or a god to be good. Post 2, One of Saturn's moons gave a public display of it's life-supporting properties. Post 3, Even the Vatican doesn't consider intelligent design a valid science.

I think it's funny that even the VATICAN thinks it's kooky. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/110..._Evolution.html

Back on the science of extraterrestrial life... Water = life, right? http://dsc.discovery.com/news/briefs/20051...eladus_spa.html Well here's one of Saturn's moons SPEWING water geysers out into space! Ah... so that means there's heat boppin' around in there, for such a reaction. Heat + water = life as we know it. Maybe they're not walking, talking and watching TV, but you can bet there's extreme environment organisms in there of some sort.

Ok... now that's very generous. It makes people smile knowing others are capable of doing such things sight unseen for their fellow man. But seriously... you do NOT require a god or powerful being to accomplish it. I take care of my wife because she's disabled. I had to leave a high-paying job just to move out into a shithole in Pennsylvania where there's no jobs, just because she needed a less hectic place to live. We, well she, gets mere pennies from the government in relation to what our bills and such actually are after we pay the rent. But still, still we spent $60 this month from our foodstamp card so a few families could have thanksgiving dinner. We couldn't really spare it, as we had to scrimp and practically ration our food out the rest of the month, but it was too horrible to be eating while others were in pain from not eating. Funny thing is, people saw what we did and it turned into a BIG thing with lots of people donating... not just for Thanksgiving, but for year-round. Even an anonymous senator got in on it and created their own year-round food support dealie. And guess what? We think religion is absolutely freaking ridiculous. Yes, there's a god... but without getting too supernatural, I'll say just this... he is NOT what you think it is. And no, I'm not explaining anything beyond that. Just leave it there. Too complex, too time-consuming, too impossible to believe. But seriously... how does believing in an invisible being somehow create love for your fellow man? WHY can't that come out of people to begin with, without saying it's being done in the name of the Great Kazoo, The Flying Spaghetti Monster, or some other god creature? It doesn't. You can be a glorious creature of love and light without ever stepping foot near a cross. And if someone has a problem with that understanding, I do pity them.

^^^ Even better, it's on Amazon.com... on sale for $15 instead of Lego's $20. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...s=toys&n=507846

I wish that attention (and funds) would be taken off Mars and instead aimed at the moon called Titan. It seems a bit promising that life, at least in some form, is there. The environment's surely there. However... if you suspend your disbelief a moment... there might already be proof hidden away about Mars: http://rense.com/general68/nasaisnt.htm Apparently, NASA's dicking around with the real color of Mars, even to the point of ignoring the fact they've had an American flag there as a source for color correction. Just as Earth, the "big blue marble" is not blue, so not is Mars a "big red marble"... as NASA constantly changes colors to depict. And when people on the internet started finding 2 to 3 anomalous objects a day from NASA's real-time cams, they then moved the Rover away from the item-rich site. Even better, some items have unknown text on them while another has numbers we use on it... just like one would draw on an artifact at an archaeological dig... or to keep track of props. First NASA said that there was so little atmosphere that there was no wind. THEN they ducked up and said wind had cleaned off the Rover's solar panels, restoring it's energy. Here's even video evidence of dust devils: http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/pre.../20050506a.html THEN realizing THAT fuckup contradicts the first lie, some unknown scientists of theirs said they were electrically-based storms... BUT that's also a bit of a fuckup as a decent atmosphere would be needed for that as well! Even though NASA says Mars has a near-vacuum, a european space probe got readings that the atmosphere had methane... normally identified as a by-product of life. NASA says there's shitloads of "dry ice" unevaporated on Mars, but also say some parts of Mars get up to 81 degrees fahrenheit. And more: http://www.data4science.net/book/

I'm not 100% positive, but didn't we already find foreign bacteria, or at least inactive remnants of it? Anyway, what would happen if we did find life on other planets? Would you not believe then, or just adjust your view to still fit into the religion? And what if we find basic life, but not like intelligent humanoids or such... how would that affect your beliefs? I remember one of my science teachers said, "Time is so timeless, that this same exact event along with all of us right now will occur again." And if that wasn't enough to make my brain implode, he said: "Time is so timeless, that eventually anything is possible". Unfortunately, I was looking at the floor when he said that, staring at my sneakers. I then started hurting my head by thinking of what kind of impossible factors could NATURALLY create a Nike shoe out in the middle of an open field. X D
