At some point it seems to me like it's just the people in power wanting to keep it. No matter how horrible life under Russia would be, and believe me I'm sure it would be, I think it still beats death. It wouldn't be the end of Ukraine forever. The USSR fell once already. Russia's grip will slip. Putin will die one day. Russia can be pressured in other ways in the meantime. You can't win them all. Just look at the rest of the world for proof...

Like I said, I'm not saying fighting is wrong. But Putin seems willing to keep on no matter the cost not just to Ukraine but to Russia themselves and the rest of the world as well. How much more?

War is a business. This one has particularly good marketing.

The fact that it even got done at all does not bode well, and I am a natural pessimist, but there's 8 months left until Election Day and justice is not moving swiftly enough.

I can't believe this but will wonders never cease!

Me and ImAMarvel actually agree on something. I too think Move Along Home is a fairly decent episode and also like the bit where they sing "Allimaraine"! I never got the hate for it and could give you a top twenty worse episodes than it!



Sisko gives Picard a run for his money as worst Trek Captain. Even the creators could see that Sisko was crap which is why they turned him into Hawk from Spenser For Hire.

As for the topic at hand DS9 is the worst Trek programmme ever. I just do not understand what people see in this garbage!

Here is my post I did on Quora on why DS9 is garbage:

1. Oh look lets plagiarize and copy Babylon 5 an idea that we the execs at Paramount originally rejected after J. Michael Straczynski proposed it to us in 1991.
2. Lets set it on a Space Station with the characters not going any bloody where thus alienating all the fans of TOS and TNG who grew up with the idea that Star Trek was about a Captain on a Starship travelling The Galaxy not being stuck on a Space Station not going any bloody where.
3. Quick lets bring in the Defiant to try and win back the fans of TOS and TNG and it worked! Proving yet again a Starship is the way to go over some shit Space Station.
4. Only a Commander can be in charge of a Spacestation! Quick lets make Sisko Captain to again try win over fans of TOS and TNG! Thus changing the original premise of the series.
5. The cast and crew (with the exception of Jadzia, Quark and Garak (OBrien doesnt count as he is a superior TNG crewman)) were so crap and pathetic that the creators freely admit that Worf was brought in to try and win back ratings and viewers.
6. Sisko was so shit as Captain it was unbelievable. Even the creators could see just how crap he was which is why they tried to change him in to Hawk a character Avery Brooks played in the TV shows Spencer: For Hire and A Man Called Hawk.
7. I agree with one commentator when he said that The Dominion story arc killed Star Trek. It made absolutely fantastic TV but then having to see Janeway and Archer go back to the old ways of trying to talk your way out of a fight just seemed dull and boring in comparison.
8. Another way The Dominion Arc almost killed Star Trek was that Seasons 5, 6 and 7 especially Seasons 6 and 7 suffered terribly because of it. Ill explain. take season 6 after the opening 6 parter only 3 episodes dealt with The Dominion War which meant the rest of the season was filled with utter shit, drivel, fluff and filler episodes. Same for Season 7. It is the only way to explain utter gems and Classics(note extreme sarcasm) in You Are Cordially Invited, Far Beyond The Stars (never watched by me never will), Profit And Lace, The Sound Of Her Voice, Times Orphan, Take Me Out To The Holosuite (Never watched by me and never will) (Oh look we are currently in the middle of a war that we are getting our asses kicked in what shall we do? Oh I know lets invite a Vulcan Captain to a game of that Americanized version of Rounders.), Badda-Bing Badda Bang, Prodigal Daughter (Even the creators apologized for that mess) and Chimera.
9. They destroyed Gul Dukat and Kai Winn by turning them into moustache twirling cartoon villains.
10. I hated the Bajorans and all their Prophets and Pah-Wraiths shit and nonsense. The Sisko this and The Sisko that oh shut the fuck up. That got boring after the first two episodes. Also why was Sisko emissary when it was both him and Dax that discovered the wormhole.
11. What You Leave Behind was a terrible way to end the series. They build up the amazing Dominion War Arc then rush through it in less than 20 minutes just so they could put a closure to all that Dukat, Winn Pah-Wraiths shit and nonsense and then the creators realized they had to pad it out to 88 miutes so added all that goodbye to the cast crap. So glad Voyager got it right.
Out with the Dominion episodes (Sacrifice Of Angels is my all time favourite episode of Trek) The Mirror episodes (except for the garbage Emperors New Cloak) and Trials And Tribbleations DS9 was just pure garbage of the first order.

Definitely watch Babylon 5.

Yes and he's a horrible piece of shit. Just my stance on doxxing covers everyone. Even sentient pieces of shit.

I tried to find this Tweet and couldn't find it anywhere, doesn't help that people are spreading it on Twitter like its true.

The mans an asshole but it doesn't help when people spread outright lies tbh. He's already made stupid tweets, no need to fabricate new ones.

Theyll just print surge pricing menus lol. Or have you scan the QR code with the surge pricing on it.

It really can't be overstated just how badly the rest of the world has failed Haiti over the course of its history.

That's not in the heat of the moment. For a state that has no problem frying people, this is pretty fucked. There's no justice in this.

or maybe he is just saying what nobody wants to hear?

what are the chances of Ukraine taking back their territories at this point? EU support is divided, US support is unsure. Even with the support of the last two years, Ukraine seems to only ever get what they need to survive but not to win. I don't see that changing.

I get the feeling that western leaders prefer to see the conflict freeze because they don't want to deal with the consequences of one side winning it.

The only realistic ending to the conflict is a cease fire, Russia takes what they have and the rest of the world needs to wake the fuck up and realize that the good guys don't always win if they stick their thumbs up their asses.

I bought it for a buck from a 2nd hand shop almost 20 years ago.

It was one of those smaller paperback, it's was like 500 pages like a brick. It was old, yellow, folded up but it was a good book.

damn, didnt realize that the epidemic of shitty cops has spread up north too

Nothing is worth anything. If you want to die for some cause, that's your choice. You decided that was the price of your life and it's likely a pitiable thing that you would think that.

Would it be that improbable that a 66 year old man loses a boxing match versus a 28 year old man? Maybe Paul can beat him by dancing around and a decision.

Neutral evil.

He gives zero shits about anything that isn't him.

I didn't generalize anything. But you do have to wonder how those in power that say these exact same things stay in power, if nobody actually votes or supports them. The easiest answer is that they have enough support to stay in power, which says that they're not simply a fringe group of Israeli voters, but a massive block.

Reminder that the International Court of Justice ordered that:

The Arabs dont give a damn about the Palestinians. If anything they will jump in at the last moment, then say we tried to stop the Zionist pigs from murdering our Palestinian brothers, but thanks to imperialist western powers, Israel is too strong.

I think youre confusing who owns who
