space program is a pittance. one less aircraft carrier would sort that out.
One day...we WILL need a new home, simple fact.

Now that we're in the heady days of 2006, is it what you expected?

Luckily, we probably won't be here to see that.

Either that or we'll all end up eating old people as a solution to world starvation(a scenario postulated in a sci-fi
flick I saw many moons ago called Soylent Green)(SG being the "miracle food" that kept mega-billions of humans alive into the distant future-which was discovered to be what it really was by-my memory is a bit foggy on this-Charlton Heston
) Someone correct me if if I've misnamed the actor. I think Ron(AKA shedNOOLigan) has this rather cheerful movie on DVD.

But it had great usage in the movie "My Best Friend Is A Teenage Vampire" or some such. Oh, Robert Sean Leonard, you dark pale fox, you.

my best friend is a vampire. never saw the whole thing.
but robert sean leonard: hell, yeah! dead poets' society. *sigh* he sounded his barbaric YAWP in that one. but why did it have to be him? WHY?
ooh, to make you jealous: i met him when i was in college. he was doing a reading at an off-off broadway theatre with sylvia miles (midnight cowboy) and since there were only about 15 people in the audience (all young females, strangely) he chatted with us and i got his autograph--i think i threw it away. my best friend told him that she just loved him in my best friend is a vampire; she wanted to see what his reaction would be. he looked at her strangely and thanked her in quite an embarassed tone!

yup it forms part of my trio of 70s scifi together with logan's run and the omega man.
70's sci-fi? Can't have good 70's sci-fi made in whoreywood mate.
Space 1999, UFO, Dr Who, Blake's 7, tomorrow people, The Quatermass conclusion...I could go on. Logan's run wasn't total shite tho.
Fay, I was tired when I wrote my reply to you, I should have said, that I'd rather see the money to feed and clothe the world come out of one less aircraft carrier being built.
I'm sure someone is thinking "why should we help", to which I answer "because we hinder".

Have to say I did wonder about that reply!!
The problem with feeding the world too is it's mostly their governments who cause the poverty.
their govts and ours.
The real problem with it, is the same real problem at the core of all human strife......
FACT: Most humans are complete cunts.

Funny that some people have the same attitude as me.

could be quite a poll in itself. "the human race:twats or what" LOL

Thanks to hard drugs, the PS2 and Will letting me have a minute on stage with Re: Order the future has been everything I imagined it to be :D
Ture, I have a computer that could PISS on a fairlight, I've won the monaco GP ( a 1 2 with my (far better)team mate too...against a full grid of real people), and somebody has invented a medicine that enables fat irish cunts to dance.
incidentally....pitch black room, loads of drugs, glowsticks,a big pair of scissors and vigorous shaking...instant deep space. (helps if you don;t try it with loads of ultra expensive furniture around, I've never SEEN any obvious damage from glowstick inerds but you never know)
from when i was a kid... i guess what is surprising has been the shift towards conservatism and more arrogance in the last 25 years...
that science is considered "stupid" and even a negative thing by many/most.... that the USA would attack and occupy a large country for fun with Orwellian rhetoric... the increase in fundamentalism... and that in the year 2006, people driving huge ass car-trucks who refuse to use their turn signals, that get 12-18 miles per gallon and then act surprised that the price of gasoline/oil is very volitile/ political even though this situation has been well known for 30 fricking years

Yup....we're diving backwards at a hell of a rate.
I find the backlash against science terrifying.....all the more so since the true villian in any piece where science is cast as such, is always big business or government.
I do get a laugh of out seeing big dumb cavemen decrying science as the work of evil, via satellite LOL.

Personally,I believed I was going to be heavyweight champion of the world.The greatest prize in sport! But we go on with our dreams in tact or in tatters,and at 12st i'd have had to settle for super-middleweight anyhow!Could I have beat Calzaghe,tho?Couldas,shouldas,wouldas! I too discovered the perils/delights of fags,booze and drugs and all that went for a burton and emerged a steelworker..
I too am disappointed with the Space program.
