Gene would be rolling over in his grave

Apparently he was even against some of the TNG early episodes that portrayed Federation higher ups as being war hawks/controlled by aliens etc

Total Eclipse of the Heart
Faith Hill - Cry
Eddie Money - Take me home tonight

You know, it may be an unpopular opinion, but these kind of stories are why I'm not a fan of Section 31 being added to Federation Canon

Great Gastby
1984
Their Eyes Were watching God
To Kill a Mockingbird
Those you save us (recent, not sure if it's a classic?)

Best of Both Worlds

Even people who dont watch Trek know it

Oh I remember the two parter, forgot about that line (and the follow up in the next episode)

For some reason I was thinking of the episode with "Let them remember the name Enterprise" (alternate universe)

Ill also say this, if you werent around at the time then you probably dont realize, but that famous episode that ends with, Mr Worf.... Fire probably changed all of television. It was mind blowing.

Refresh my memory - what was the name of this one?

OG or TNG?

OG I loved the episode with the half white/half black alien

A bit like the end of Pay It Forward... really sad :(

Any details of a GoFund me or anything being set up to help the family?

Please quote where it says that in the Whistleblower Protection Act

Do you still stand by your statement? "Can fire anybody for anything as long as it's not discriminatory"

Gun Owners of America has nothing to do with the same Russian non-sense you've been running your mouth with for years.

Sorry, meant GAO (Government Accountability Office). Also, please point out where I mentioned Russia a year ago?

No, but correct me if I'm wrong, no one knows who the whistleblower is, so its irrelevant in this case.

You claimed (as a business owner) that you could fire anybody for anything as long as it wasn't discriminatory. Also, giving evidence in support of a whistle blower is also protected.

Tropicalwood posted...

Weren't crimes, just an excuse to let the same people that had it out for the man day one to bitch an moan about impeachment after countless failed attempts in the past.

So the GOA was wrong in their assessment? And you are the expert?

Tropicalwood posted...

Maliciously filing false reports against your employer is a crime and not at all protected.

Is there evidence of malice? Otherwise it's still protected (make sure you know the law)

karlpilkington4 posted...

Imagine thinking that as a boss you'd face consequences for firing someone. I run a business, it doesnt work that way. As long as you dont violate discrimination laws, you can fire someone for anything.

As a business owner, are you not aware of whistle blower protection laws (federal)?

I agree with this, though I haven't seen the third one yet - how does it measure up?

Part of what made UC so epic for me was the real world parallels - I'm old enough to (just barely) remember the Berlin Wall coming down amid the uncertainty of how the world would take the various Russian states movements of independence.

This is true thanks to Trump. He's done great work in protecting us from outside threats.

Which outside threat did he protect us from?

Rush Limbaugh is just a puppet. He's made enough money to secure his family, his families families....he won't survive his cancer because obviously they caught it late but yeah he's said some stupid things. So has most radio shock jocks. Howard stern is another who's made fun of black people and belittled women. Not so much anymore but it's all public record. Rush tried to cross over into TV and it died a quick death because of his views.

Did Howard Stern compare child Chelsea Clinton to a dog? Or get awarded the highest civilian honor in the US?

Sure all that is bad, but not as bad as Nasty Nancy tearing up a perfect speech from our perfect president. Sad!

Why is this worse? There's a law against what Trump does..

Spooking posted...

Mostly for his contributions during the 80's, 90's and early 00's before the Internet was a thing. You had CBS, NBC, ABC and cable channels spewing out establishment talking points while Rush was the voice of reason and clarity.

Do you have some examples of him being "the voice of reason and clarity"? Because there are lots of examples of him exaggerating, spreading misinformation, and spewing out talking points in the 90s and early 00s

Spooking posted...

Well deserved.

Yes. He definitely has some strong opinions and has gotten into some heated debates, but I believe he genuinely loves all of his fellow Americans regardless of whatever different backgrounds they may come from.

You mean impeached over literally being caught on camera bragging about doing what the current impeached president was being accused of?

uh... aid was not withheld and you dont get a free pass to be involved with corruption if you are going to be running for president.

According to GAO (which is more credible than you at this point), aid WAS withheld, and doing so WAS illegal (under the constitution)

Trump had LOTS of stories of corruption (still does), and he gets a free pass?

Autocraticus posted...

This is why the Democratic push for impeachment set such a dangerous precedent. It is now a political tool targeting their rivals.

I thought Trump withholding aid (unless a rival was investigated) set a dangerous precedent?

It;s healthier, in that it doesn't have the 100s of chemicals that cigarettes have, like arsenic, tar, butane, etc. and instead only consists of food grade GRAS chemicals like Vegetable Glycerin (thickener), Propylene Glycol, and flavorings (the same that are used in other food products as well)

They're not completely risk free, but they carry a small fraction of the risk of cigarettes.
E-cigarettes do not produce tar or carbon monoxide, two of the most harmful elements in tobacco smoke.
Almost all of the harm from smoking comes from the thousands of other chemicals in tobacco smoke, many of which are toxic.

I don't know about TC's family, but the NHS (Britain's socialist healthcare system) does encourage British smokers to switch to vaping.

https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/quit-smoking/using-e-cigarettes-to-stop-smoking/
Will an e-cigarette help me stop smoking?
Many thousands of people in the UK have already stopped smoking with the help of an e-cigarette. There's growing evidence that they can be effective.
A major UK clinical trial published in 2019 found that, when combined with expert face-to-face support, people who used e-cigarettes to quit smoking were twice as likely to succeed as people who used other nicotine replacement products, such as patches or gum.

Also, for those who are paranoid about nicotine:
While nicotine is the addictive substance in cigarettes, it's relatively harmless.

So how will armchair internet doctors prove that their credentials (and thus their word) are more worthy than an actual health organization?

Nah, it was U.S. street dealers selling weed carts cut with Vitamin E, among other similar chemicals. When legal dispensaries sell a gram cart for $40-60+, of course some people (especially underage) will resort to shady dealers selling them for $20.

Hell, weed should be banned because underage kids are getting their hands on thc carts.

AMA disagrees?

KINDERFELD posted...

That the vaping hysteria was all fabricated solely to bankrupt the companies who create these products aka cigarette companies.

Its highly asinine to take a handfull of vaping-RLATED cases, with kids who already had underlying medical issues to try and pass an outright ban on vaping.

So do the doctors in your family recommend vaping to adults?

KINDERFELD posted...

Yes and I come from a large family of doctors and nurse practitioners and we discuss these issues all the time.
So my knowledge is very firsthand.

So what is the medical consensus (according to your family) - that vaping is better than smoking, so they encourage their patients to vape?

Luigi posted...

We already heard over 100 hours of testimony from well over a dozen witnesses. If there was a witness with any actual evidence of wrongdoing, surely the Democrats would have had them testify in the House. It's time for liberals to face the facts: no collusion, no obstruction, no quid pro quo.

https://i.imgur.com/h0CfT6f.png

Trump KEPT the witnesses (like Bolton) from being able to testify during the House hearings. Did you not keep up with the proceedings?

Maybe Trump and Republicans should face the facts as determined by the GAO (an independent agency)?

crazyman32 posted...

They wanted to impeach Trump before he even became president. You can laugh all you want but, Trump will be reelected and it will drive the Democrats even further into the deep end.

So what exactly was "a joke" about the charges of using his position to force another country to dig up dirt on a political opponent?

crazyman32 posted...

lol yeah right. The Democrats are doing their best to destroy America and Adam Schiff is full of Schiff.

How exactly are they "destroying" America?

Modern American culture isnt enough evidence for you? If it isnt, then you are truly lost. Have you been living under a rock?

I agree, in modern American culture I see more anti SJW posts/news than SJW posts/news these days (liberal snowflakes, facts over feelings, get over it, etc). Did you just provide proof against your argument?

EventualDecline posted...

Its good that its a guys movie, from a guys perspective, with guys dominating most of the scenes and dialogue. Thats a good thing, right? Why would that be bad? You want more female dialogue, then go watch a romantic comedy or something.

Too bad Street Fighter sucks though.

What, so you think theyre not a thing? Thats like if someone had cancer, and I said they had cancer, and you replied to that saying I cant believe you would say that, I cant take you seriously. That would make no sense, really, and thats essentially what you just did.

Right, sure they are. While its true that conservatives, and any political persuasion really, can be crybabies, the fact of the matter is that its the SJWs who cry the loudest about mean things that offend them, and they cry the loudest these days about wanting things censored or changed, like in movies and shows that offend their delicate sensibilities. If this were the 1960s or something, this would be more true about conservatives, but nowadays its the progressive SJWs who are the ones doing the censoring. Your opinion is extremely outdated.

How is your last statement a "fact"? So far the anti SJW crowd (you) are the one being the loudest. Do you have some survey to show it's "SJWs who cry the loudest about mean things that offend them"?
