I thought you usually used your "CleverNickName" account?

Who are the others this time around?

And how is Keith Richards still alive again? Pre-embalming?

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night

Every gal in Constantinople
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
So if you've a date in Constantinople
She'll be waiting in Istanbul

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way

So take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks

Istanbul, Istanbul
Istanbul, Istanbul

Well, you're clearly the target audience of the new Trek, then.

Hotels get diamonds, restaurants get stars.

For true idiots there are cruise ships. Which are just hotels/casinos where you are locked in and can't bring your own booze.

The same jackhole who couldn't stop himself from making a (court drama/western/soap opera) with special effects added?

Roddenberry was the worst of the ST producer/directors. This idiot will no doubt do better.

Best movies ever made? You trekies are funny. It's the best ST movie, that is all.

'Ice Pirates' was better. 'Plan9 from Outer Space' was better.

Damn guys, typo.

Obviously I meant bring in snakes and bears.

Spliters.

I only go to theaters in the winter when I can bring my own snakes and beer inside in my coat.

Don't be a shithead. Go back far enough, and only Africa has 'natives'.

I think it's sad that people in your area are so poor they can't afford basic transportation, but also so economically secure that no one is willing to become an Uber driver and give people rides during non-peak hours at regular rates. And it's doubly sad that the combination of poverty and economic security you are describing is completely immune to changes in the price of car rides. That place must truly be cursed.

Arguing is rarely rewarding period. But these discussions hone my and others' understanding of the world. Understanding of the world can be rewarding.

I'm always hoping thought can win out over feelings -- especially negative feelings like envy.
