  1. Even if it was, in the slightest bit, historically accurate, Palin didn't know it. You can tell by her bumbling answer to a question most 6th graders could answer.
  2. Sarah Palin really does represent a majority of Americans. I truly believe that. Not being facetious at all. Ask the average American to name a newspaper or magazine that shapes their views on foreign policy and they would draw a blank. Ask the average American who Paul Revere was and they would most likely say he rode a horse but not really know why. She makes "average" people feel like they have someone to speak on their behalf, but don't we want someone better than "average" leading out country?
  3. I need more laughs in my life. This came during a visit to the Old North Church in Boston on her bus tour.
  4. Having a beer puts him "in touch" with a vast, vast majority of Americans.
  5. Thanks. I kept trying to figure it out from inside COD. Didn't realize it was on the main PS3 screen.
  6. Can someone tell me how to add a friend on this? What screens to do I need to go into?
  7. Just a short 2 minute piece on it last night that ended by him saying "We'll follow up with this story later". I applaud him for tackling it, though.
  8. Be interesting to see how Jon Stewart continues to handle this as I believe Rep. Weiner is his former college roommate and has been on the show numerous times.
  9. I think you're talking about the congressman that resigned over photos of himself shirtless and posted them somewhere. Weiner is a different issue.
  10. Again, I'm a noob, but will this theoretically take the place of Black Ops?
  11. The morality of homosexuality shouldn't come into play in this. People can believe whatever they want, but everyone has to be in agreement that bullying gays to the brink of suicide is unacceptable- regardless of what you think of that person.
  12. I'm kind of new to all this. Is that the Kowloon pack that I've been seeing Contracts for?
  13. Let's go with what I assume is your worst case scenario: the child understands the message of the video. What then? He or she understands that life is difficult for gay adolescents and that maybe he shouldn't treat them differently so they don't think the only solution is to kill themselves?
  14. I'd think he wouldn't understand a lick about the message of the commercial, just see Woody, hear "You'll be fine, partner" and then think about how much he wants to go watch Toy Story.
  15. What does a commercial like that do to kids, in your opinion?
  16. I also think they used Woody because, as I said speculated before, this video is probably intended for ages 8-18. That age group grew up with Woody and readily recognize him.
  17. So the use of Woody is what makes it "promote" homosexuality?
  18. Sorry, how does it promote homosexuality?
  19. How in the world does it do that? This video was made to get kids who are on the verge of suicide to think twice. I think the intentions are pure. It's not trying to get you to use Google Chrome, watch Toy Story or buy Lady Gaga's music. It's trying to save lives. Do you believe there is an issue with gay adolescents being bullied and driven to suicide?
  20. I did find it rather odd that they used Woody, but I suppose I get it. This commercial is targeted (I would assume) at probably ages 8-18 who know they are gay or, at the very least, different.
  21. US Ambassador to Jordan
