Scientology was founded by a particularly disordered, reluctant mental patient.

2001 has it's problems. It was clearly made for people living in 1969.

But ST? Just a terrible bunch of cliches. Might as well watch the second season of Farscape. ST even had a space hippies episode. At least they skipped the space hill-billies. 'Lost in Space' was better, had better special effects and a somewhat coherent back story.

Of course the subsequent ST spin-offs were even worse. Started and ended with a god damn court drama. As you say 'kill me!'

Can't watch it. Soap opera/court drama with bad special effects, even for the day. There are about 3 good episodes.

Forbidden Planet has aged well. 2001 not too badly. Other than that old 'scifi' mostly sucks.

Wouldn't be an Amiga emulator without them.

How could a PET phone not include a PET emulator?

All that great old software is best left in memory. Trying to use them again is like trying to watch your childhood favorite TV show.

I will never again be young enough to appreciate 'Speed Racer' or 'Star Trek'. Same is true for Apple ][ games.

In the 21st century, if your nation doesn't have nukes it is not sovereign but a vassal state to a nuclear power.

See also Ukraine.

Can we fit the motor into an old CRX?

The Saudis paid for the Paki nuke program, based on the agreement to sell them one when it becomes politically expedient.

Arm both sides to maintain a stalemate and wait for them to kick the fight out of each other?

Sounds like a viable third option to me. Worked during Iran/Iraq, now _that_ was a good war.

Even better would be ISIS fighting the Iranians. Like the good old days of the Iran/Iraq war all over again.

Of course nobody thinks Bush and staff were thinking at all, so they couldn't possibly have been playing chess with an end game of two of our enemies fighting each other.

Discussing this outside the context of cold war pawn engagements is intellectually dishonest.

Is 'Afghanistan and Iraq are indistinguishable in terms of their foreign policy from the USA's point of view' a good argument for the second Iraq invasion?

There goes your argument.

Less than you would imagine. Post WWII we were playing pawn wars with the Soviets. Who were full tilt NAZI like evil bastards.

By way of comparison. The Germans and Japanese backed the democratic self rule insurgency in India during WWII. Finding a light grey pawn to back doesn't make them the 'good guys'.

So demonstrate it or shut the fuck up you halfwit.
