  1. Damn....but wasn't Limelight closed last weekend? Either way I will make sure I go there one last time before it totally changes.
  2. Well, if it ends up to be true, I am definitely going to see him. I have never seen him live and I have never been to SF, so whatevers...is it really that bad? lol
  3. I wish they had a radio station in nyc that played trance/tehcno all the time!
  4. this semester i am taking 15 credits....it should b fun....i love school, i am such a nerd, lol.....anyways....i took 12 credits in my 1st term...sum1 wanted 2 know that....
  5. LOL....I used to use the kurfew entrance to get into Tunnel all the time...there were so many people on that line that just used it for the cheaper prices.
  6. impale him on the antenna of the empire state building.
  7. Overall, I like the movie. Yes, it did drag a little, but that is what happens when the director wants to recreate the book exactly. If you read the book, the fighting scenes are rather short and quick while the traveling scenes are long, like in the movie. I found it fun and I can't wait until the next one.
  8. No, unfortunately I cannot convince anyone that this system will work - but I would invest money in the technology needed to make the shield work. Only then can the system work. President Bush has been a little eager to push for testing, but supposedly the program has made some improvements. As long as there are intelligent engineers and scientists out there working on the project - it will succeed. We cannot just stop the program based on obstacles that we can be overcome with research and testing.
  9. Technically, any missile shield would be able to prevent a missile from entering our airspace - it is just the funding that is needed to make this system work effectively. Now, I understand that the domino theory may well be applied in this scenario, but then we would have to solely rely on proliferation. It is very plain to see that we can use the shield as an additional deterrent to the launching of ballistic missiles - thus contributing to proliferation. If terrorist groups and certain rogue states know that we have constructed a missile shield, they will not be so reluctant to invest in such a project if they know we have a defense for it. Just a psychological theory based on pure logic, but at least something - rather than sit around and hope they do nothing.
  10. Ummm...ok. I agree with Bush's withdrawal from the 1972 ABM Treaty. It is his duty as President to provide a sufficient homeland defense and in doing so, he must allocate some resources to missile defense. The US cannot ignore this threat just because at this moment it is faced with a different one. The only reason the US missile defense tests have failed is because Democrats in the Senate have consistently worked to stop the funding necessary for the technology needed to execute successfully the program. The only reason why they do this is because they believe that the US should spend its money elsewhere and under the NMD Act of 1999(which Congress passed mandating the creation of a missile defense), they continually have stopped the missile defense program because of a clause inserted into it stating that the missile defense shield will not be administered if it is not believed to be "technologically feasible." In order for a program to be feasible, it must receive funding! The US needs a balanced national security policy that addresses all threats to American lives. America has no defenses against missile attack, and this "Cold War" aggreement not only delays progress for a system, but also undermines our national security. Terrorist groups also have the ability to purchase missiles, if that is what you're wondering. I am sure that a well-funded and organized terrorist group, especially those sponsored by a nation, have the means to acquire and launch a missile - if necessary. The ABM treaty is outdated, but not only that, it was written under the notions that nations value human life and would never launch nuclear weapons if they need to retaliate. However, the events of 9/11 can only magnify the inhumanity of certain people who do not value human life. Who's to say they won't pursue such an attack? Now, there is a larger threat looming from several rogue states, rather than the terrorists, and that must be responded to. Countries like North Korea and Iran pose the greatest threat to the US. As for the so-called "arms race" that will begin - doubtful and irrelevant. The proposed missile shield is not designed to deter any missiles launched from a large country like Russia or China. Their governments know perfectly well that a miniscule system, like the one proposed, could not successfully deflect a large-scale missile attack. Sleptics have particularly warned of a arms race, but if you actually look at history, China - for example - has been enlarging its nuclear stockpile for over 2 decades now. Currently, they still have a relatively small arsenal, but shield or no shield, they will still continue to construct nuclear weapons. Final point - the US cannot afford simply to not address both the missile threat and terrorism. Do we have to wait until a missile is launched into one of our cities before we decide to build an effective missile defense? I would certainly hope not.
  11. yeah - the first time was awesome for me too. but it didn't hit me until after i left to go home, cuz my friends suck ass, and this was in europe, so i didn't want 2 walk home 3 km by myself - so i went home. but on the way, i just thought everything was perfect, i was walking really fast, and all i kept on saying was "wow"....lol
  12. stupid movie, lol.....it was slightly funny - which is why it made like what, $80 million or sumthin? The movie actually made me more ambitious - meaning i could prove all of the people I know, wrong, by wanting to succeed in my life through an outlet that many people do not consider myself capable of. This is all because while I was in high school, I always cut and showed little academic interest - but that has changed now in college. I know I am not dumb, just lazy.
  13. LOL I am going to try and work hard to get into a good law school, but we will see what develops. I just wish I knew someone personally that goes to law school.
  14. i went to Brooklyn Tech 2, and it sucked, lol.
  15. cool....i might go to law school...even though i didn't ask the question, it helped, so thanx. oh well, lol
  16. that is what i thought originally too! but he confused me, lol. ne, thelo ena frappe, lol pame! i guess that is what astoria does to u, lol

  19. yeah steinway is getting there, with a starbucks, victoria's secret, GAP, and now an Express. that is all good, but i wish they had a banana store (for the trendy part in me), but generally I like stores that sell big pants and cool t-shirts. And currently, the smaller stores on Steinway are being influenced by a different culture , lol. World? that place is small, and not really a club, lol. regardless, astoria is cool
  20. thanx! that is what i told her, and she was all paranoid, but i kust told her to chill and calm down...that it will be cool. and it did, she stopped feeling wierd the next day. naturally, i would smoke a blunt, lol....damn smoking 2 much lately, don't wanna get dumb now, lol.
