On a similar rant, why is it that Pixar keep making great blockbuster films?!? Could it kill them to make at least ONE DUD?!?

At least all the other studios have the right idea:

Did you see Dinosaur? (phew you could even smell the shite)

Yeah, Benetton had an enormous budget...Ã,  :P
Exactly, with enough money you could win anything, just look at most soccer teams, or Nascar (which is feckin mind numbingly boring, they go round, and round and round)
The only real sports are where the teams are all in the same boat like our national sports, Hurling and Gaelic Football (much like aussie rules) there are Madrid and Barcelona teams too. They operate on the idea that all of the players play because they want to, they aren't payed at all but still they play, and it leads to fantastic matches and eventually some true ledgends being created. As a result of this, no one county in Ireland continuously wins titles, and that means that every match is different, and you can't predict the outcome ( unlike in F1 where you just flip a two headed coin and pick heads for Michael Schumacher) Even the Bookies have a hard time making money.
I know it would be impossible to do this in F1, but a scenario where the teams all have similar budgets would lead to different outcomes. The cars should all use manual gearboxes, as it's too easy to use a playstation like interface to control a race car that handles so well, it's time the skill returned to motorsport.

By the way, Jackie Stewart recently commented about Michael Schumacher's driving on Fifth Gear on channel 5, and he said that he makes so many mistakes in f1 every race, that if he were driving a car ten years behind, he'd be losing (even against cars and drivers of ten years ago) I know you might say that he was racing ten years ago, but he has lost skill in the long run. Last but not least, have you noticed the way Michael scumacher has lost all emotion for the sport? after winning his first race he looked really happy, after winning the championship he looked like a stick was up his ass (no offence man, but it's gotta get boring someday) 8)

It took another Irish schoolgoer to make Yufster look coherent, I notice...Ã,  :=

I better add that my surname is MacCormack, a good old Irish name... Erin gu bragh
Good man, mine's Fitzpatrick, it's norman! by the by, you spelt that wrong, it's Erin Go Bragh, but I forgive ya. Do you know what's scary?, our Irish-speaking channel is doing adverts on anti-racism and stuff and it has North african immigrants and Asian immigrants speaking better Irish than me. It made me wake up and realise that these migrants want to be Irish too ( at this stage i think it's safe to say they're more irish than the Irish themselves ) and if anything they deserve to be here.
Now, back to multiculturalism, how do we expect to embrace different cultures when we can't even accept each others ( europe's that is) I mean what with football hooligans, ethnic cleansing, neo fascists, hate crimes etc. ???

...Anyone who thinks that that is actually Mikey (instead of what is is: Matchew's alternate account :P) needs a labotomy.

I find it funny that Matchew joins, then asks people he hardly knows to join in in not one, but two, violent rebellions against people are frankly, on a global scale, insignifigant.
I swear that I didn't call myself Michael Scumacher, It was some other guy. I am telling the gospel truth as my Ip does not show up.

And I think it's time you said sorry for insulting poor michael.

And to whoever said he was just very talented is wrong, his team have an enoromous budget and it's hardly surprising that they were able to do so well. I think the FIA should restrict budgets and create a more level playing field for racing in general. Eddie Irvine was right when he refused to let guys lap him as that adds to the competition in the race and it is more of a test for a driver ( it's a race, not a motorway)

Don't make me come over there and put my foot up your ass Matchew.
Good man Michael, I wonder what you'll say when me and Eddie Jordan reverse over your badly broken body in your ferrari.

Most likely something like "Ouch" or "Damn that hurt"....But one really dosen't know what they'll say till it happens...
Were you watching Top Gear earlier, I think a renault beat a ferrari on the track, or was I imagining?

It's about time that he gave up, He's already ruined three f1 seasons, and nobody seems to care anymore. I propose that we group together, as we are an international band of people capable of ruining his career, It aint goin to be easy, but we can sure as hell try.
I'm going to need snipers, Pyromaniacs, ex- KGB agents and a hell of a load of thumb tacks. If you wish to get rid of Formula one's most hated driver ( one who has no surprises up his sleeve) you've come to the right place. To join the I've had enough of that poncey, overrated german winning every single feckin race club, call 1800- schumi will die

*calls cost â,¬50,000,000 per minute, each additional minute is free.

c'mon there's got to be more like me out there. 8)

I save the world a tree at a time,
A band aid is the cure,
I sing and screech for that one beautiful day,
but I still haven't found what I'm lookin for,
So thank god it's them instead of you.

The winner will recieve global rights to use the words,
"Feck"
"Jayzus"
"Moulting Mary mother of ducks"
and "Right Ted"

But I wouldn't be surprised if ya won, it's not hard

There's also a really really juicy irony in people in Ireland complaining about migrantsÃ,  ;D
You know what? you're right, during the great famine, about four million or so of our six million population (we were at it like rabbits okay?) left for Australia, America, Great Britain, France, and of course, your homeland Spain ( we helped ye out in yer civil war after all.) it's sick and idiotic to discriminate when we were probably one of the most widespread cultures after all ( what with Leprechauns, Alcohol, Big fluffy shamrocks and what happened on the simpsons St Patrick's day episode when the british chip shop was blown up and the crowd all roared in celebration (I think I should shut my big fat mouth here before I cause trouble)). We should know better when you take into account that in America there were signs saying "no niggers or irish wanted" we have no right to object to migrants. I'm actually sick and tired of this topic cause I did a four page irish essay on this very topic, (it's hard okay, I'm fluent English) but y'know if ya can't beat em, join em.

(stupido idioto) ( i'm really sorry for that poor attempt at humour)

By the way, who knows what caused the famine in the first place?
(you get extra points for not mentioning the word potatoes)

I've lots of muslim friends and they are some of the nicest guys I have met

Does that deffense of "how nice the muslims are" mean that you think that everyone here deffending not having symbols in schools think muslims "are not nice" you can't be more wrong, mate...

What has been discussed here is not "if they're nice or not", or if they're "better or worse" than us. What has been discussed here is what makes them special for not accomplishing laws which are accepted by a vast majority of the people in the countries they live.
Yeah but, that wasn't what I was getting at either, I was just expressing how the idea of banishing religious symbols in schools is an act of (subliminal) fear. I'm not making any broad or bold statements when I say this but, I was explaining that people are people and there's nothing to be afraid of.
And secondly, my country is not as culturally diverse as yours, it has only begun to expand in this regard in the past ten years or so, so grow a brain and cop on. We are still naiive and are only growing as a state (although our economy is doing grand) and Ireland will not be fully culturally aware for some time.
I recently participated in a debate on this subject in UCD in Dublin, and I learned that although we may insist on displaying our religious symbols with pride, we seem intimidated by those who are different from us. It's childish I understand this, but if you were raised with kids the same as you all the time, of course you would have your doubts and suspicions about those who are different (it's human nature after all) and I feel that the simplest way of understanding this reality is by embracing those who are different and instead of simply deciding that you don't like those who are different, you should be curious, ask questions and relax.



we're all God's children.


P.S. settle down it's only a mild discussion.

P.P.S. by the way farlander, I asked my dad who'se an ex-clergyman about the whole meat being forbidden on a friday and he told me that sex was also forbidden, but the idea was long abandoned about 100 years ago because back then meat and sex were luxuries, and they costed a lot of moolah, but these days everything is feckin ( no that is not the bad word with the "U" in it , it's a lovely Irish word see father ted for details) expensive, at least in Ireland it is anyway. " a euro for a bag of crisps, ya must be bloody mad in the head, fer feck sake ye have me beggared"

Yeah but y'see, how much milking of a franchise can ya do? star wars games are as common as snow in the north pole (and anyone who wants to correct me on that can bite my a(oh no I can't say that!)) and when it all boils down, ya hafta realise that Samuel and Maximillian, our two heroes have only had one virtual adventure, I dunno about you but I think Lucasarts are scared of trying anything new.
#56
Geez I dunno, well to start, the kids being born are kids whose parents are not citizens to begin with, they say they were using it as a back door into the EU many refugees and asylum seekers living in the aid camps and small towns found it easier considering it takes ages to get a valid passport cause our government are ass***es and they think a new mercedes every year is a valid expense (that ahd our taoseach's* daughter's wedding to a pop star in france) the only links I can think of would be found on the Irish times website, but it'll take some searching do a google search specific to Irish websites and you should find something. or look at www.ireland.ie You'll find loads there. good luck


P.S. Taoseach is the irish equivalent of a prime minister or head asshole for the layman

we did the hatemail, and it didnt neccesarily work. it did work in such that it got the attention of their newly ex-employees. so much as so that two newly founded companies made up of old lucas employees seem to be in a bidding war for either the source code of sam and max 2, or the rights to do a sam and max game once the lucasarts liscense over sam and max runs out in may/june.

so relax.
That doesn't bother me, it's the fact that they're makin me wait. Hulk no like waitin, fat curly head man make Hulk wait, Hulk need bunny and dog man. Hulk SSSSSSSSSMMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Lucas would have never done this. I believe it's his evil clone or whatever lame scenario we can come up with. I suggest we threaten them, and if they still don't do agree we shall plant a bomb in the starwars department. That will set things straight. Or, we could find who the REAL criminal is, and execute him.
I beg to differ, for Lucas has screwed with us for ever, the most recent one being a virus known as the lucas/gates anti-fun virus. It only allows you to use the internet for playing star wars galaxies, and for anyone who is familiar with it, it's nothing but a hive of xenoporn somewhere in california George Lucas is hiding in his underground lair monitoring Galaxies worshippers with Bill Gates laughing and arguing over who is richer. He keeps Dave Prowse (darth vader) at the door to bash him with a solid lead lightsaber if he crosses him. Gettin in there is going to be tricky, I'll need explosives experts and old copies of Fifa games (they make excellent shrapnel yknow) some army uniforms, sub-machine guns, knives and of course, solid snake (otacon can join in if he brings the codecs and stealth suits).

Anybody with these exact connections should reply soon

You know what, you're right, I mean I live in little old Ireland, or as they say in Deutschland, "Scheise Irland land of mist", such a lovely language but as we say in Ireland "Ta a lan duine gorm san Eireann ach, ta teifigh an rud is measa" ( to those who don't speak Irish you're better off  not knowing)it's not fair and I don't believe it ( We're not all racists but some small minded freaks up in little towns can't stand the sight of foreigners) Even earlier this year we had a referendum to take away the right of foreigners to become instant citizens when they give birth here, and it was passed! I was disgusted and I don't think it was fair. As regards religious symbols in schools, I think it's unwise to take away such strong symbols of who we are (that and I don't want to have to lift that huge statue of the virgin mary out of my school!) coming from a predominately catholic country whose schools are almost completely catholic based, I think it would be a farce. I've lots of muslim friends and they are some of the nicest guys I have met, last year my friend Ali Ahktar gave my mother a christmas cake for cryin out loud! It's about time we all grew up.

By the way, Rammstein suck
(that wasn't racist I just hate their "music" ich will and all)
but then again so do u2 so who am I?

now for a more worthwhile one, After all the bull**** regarding LucasArts and their cancellation of Sam N' Max 2 I think it's high time we made some noise but how? Hatemail? Boycotting their products? kidnapping of key personnel? Decapitated race horses? (or in this case white bunnies and dogs) turning up in George Lucas' bed? Cause they've f***ed with us for the last time, I mean after Star Wars ep 1 and 2 and the complete sh** that was monkey island 4, I think it's time for a revolution, I think it's time we accepted that Star Wars ep 3 is going to be crap anyway and did something about this bull***t

C'mon, who's with me?
