oh wait, that's just for murders...

no, the difficult part is, the bad guys look just like the good guys, and the bad guys aren't standing there firing rockets at you, they use kitchen timers to set off rocket launchers, or IEDs, so they're long gone by the time their shit kills our guys.

situational awareness is the key and the more information we have on the bad guys, the better we can do our jobs,
'course, the biggest joke is lazy assed MFers who've never served a day in their life commentating on how the military is doing it's job, STFU and walk a mile in my boots before you judge asshole...

but i didn't like their interface's or they had issues with the database size i needed....
i settled on Legacy for a while, and now use FTM.

i've been a member of Ancestry.com for about 4-5 years now and haven't found any other site which allows access to so many resources.
my parents divorces when i was 3 and i hardly knew anything about my father's family's history....

through Ancestry.com i was able to track back to ireland in the 1800's, found my 3rd great-grandfather's naturalization papers, and found distant cousins living a few miles away i'd never known about.

i am not a mormon, but i have found them (as a rule) to be generous, helpful and not at all preachy, no one has tried to convert me to "the dark side" (which was a concern when i first got involved in my searching...)

i'm a recovering cathoholic, my family has all already been baptised in the catholic church, if the mormons want to do any baptising, eh... let 'em, it's not my belief, it's not my family's belief, so it doesn't matter what they believe *shrug* and it shouldn't matter to anyone else.

*also*

the mormon church sent missionaries out to pretty much every country on the planet to gather historical records, and they were doing this a hundred years ago.... and continue today, they are probably the single greatest resource for genealogical information out there.

you have to take what you find on ancestry.com with a grain of salt (if posted by other members) and you have to be careful searching the records and documents, but if you're smart and careful, you can find an immense amount of history.

SG:U was a pale shade of SG...
believe me, i watched it religiously (and also watched the even more soap-opera-y Caprica)

simply because of the fact that there isn't any other decent sci-fi on tv anymore....

Enterprise (worst theme song EVAR) got cancelled just when it was getting good,
Galactica was long in the tooth, and then they gave us a cop-out ending...
DON'T even get me started on Firefly... i'll start killing people....

so yah... syfy will put out another Galactica prequel (which will probably suck)
personally i think we need a 6th star trek series (the new frontier books were well written, why not go there?)

either that or the stupid-assed syfy channel should just add more wrastling to it's lineup and call itself "The USA Network 2"
because they certainly don't have any sci-fi shows in their line-up....
Ghost Hunters? Scare Tactics? Fact or Faked? Hollywood Treasure? that crap belongs on Fox or discovery....
Smackdown.... sci-fi? really? REALLY??
WH13, Eureka, Sanctuary? hey, i like Amanda Tapping, and i couldn't stand sanctuary.... Eureka i could barely get through season 1, WH13 i watched just because there was nothing else....

STOP FEEDING US SHIT...

yeh, sorry, i can't see myself giving milk and cookies to the monsters you and 854321 would apparently like to hang out with and give back rubs to.

if that gets me modded "Troll" then clearly i don't need to be on this website since it supports pedophiles and the french.

uh... people who harm children need to have their kneecaps broken, white hot iron pokers shoved up their asses, and then they need to be shot in the gut and allowed to die in slow agony.

they don't need to be defended, if you feel they do, then i suggest the same treatment for you.

why did we save those assholes from the Germans again?

"McDonald's servers were recently compromised and thieves were able to get access to customers' e-mail addresses..."

there, fixed that for you...

STOP USING "HACKER" IN THIS CONTEXT....

hacking is *not* a crime, and hackers are not criminals, there's already a word for people who break into computer systems and steal data, they're called "thieves."

if i smash you in the face with a hammer, is the headline going to read "Carpenter smashes guy in the head?"

that's the same reply i use on my luggage!

tea party anyone?

OUR CAPSLOCK! BUT THEY'LL NE'ER TAKE OUR FREEDOM!!!!
