Thor vs Superman

Yeah, look at that Jesus fellow: He had a beard and was a layabout, beatnik and rabble-rouser.  They had to execute him to keep the peace.

Beards were banned in Albania altogether under Communism.

In 15th century England facial hair was considered effeminate; it was only introduced by Henry VIII who copied the beard worn by the King of France. His courtiers all copied the fashion, and he then promptly introduced a Beard Tax on anything over 2 days growth.

Another type of beard coming back into fashion:

Your profs taught Keynes and Hayek?

@Brain:

Isn’t it amusing that when people buy DVD’s they hardly ever watch those movies because they know that they can watch them anytime and so that time never comes

You are so right. I personally own around 100+ DVDs and I do watch some of them frequently, and others hardly ever, so it justs depends on how the movie “grabs” you.

But I guess we are going off topic here so back to PC vs. Mac. How about those new commercials, Mac is continuing to assault PC now with Windows 7. It is getting a little old now I think. I did find some of them funny at the start but now… :|

Yea, the one I am thinking about had a steeple and I’m almost positive they had other services in there as well.  But hey, there’s kinda a large time differential between 1989 and 2005, ya know?  Like 16 years!  Hell, you can GROW a soldier in that amount of time!

@balungaloaf:

ditka would win by 3 touchdowns and a field goal.  Da bears.

Not this year, LOL.

5.56 weighs 12g and 7.62x51 weighs 24. The person with the 5.56 fires with 3 round burst, the person with the 7.62 fires semi-auto. 3 shots=1 kill or 1 shot = 1 kill? Which is better? 36g or 24g? A 30 round 5.56 will get you ten pulls of the trigger if set on 3 round burst (the 3 round burst compensates for the smallness of the round. A 20 round 7.62 will give you 20 pulls.

Look, anybody who can win with the Axis in THREE FRIGGIN’ TURNS deserves a little respect from me. And I know Dert isn’t no slouch either, so it wasn’t as if you were going against a Rookie.

BTW, don’t know if you’re playing SUD next round, but it’s looking that way. Beside, you, SUD, and Mr. Ghoul, who else is playing?

I can’t agree that Carter was one of our better presidents.

Who in his right mind would turn over complete ownership and control of the Panama Canal to a nation not exactly friendly to vital American interest?
(snip)
However, the real disgrace was the Iranian Hostage incident. Here we were the strongest nation in the world, rendered helpless and incompetence to national honor as Iran held American hostages for 444 days.

Well, you prefer the US being the worlds policeman?
Maybe he gave the canal back to Panama in the first place, because it is in Panama (i don’t know the exact terms when it was built and for how long the US was “leasing” it)?
For the second: It was a decade of world terrorism. What we face today is different, but not more than in that times.
Why is your “national interest” and “national honour” the only measure for a good president? These two things are often reasons for starting wars, but nothing more!
