Anne Coulters new book

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

I thought they were from spain....

[Spriggan]

don't know, never seen the movies.  Just assumed they were american with spanish/hispanic roots.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

If the US knew what was good for it it would pour cash into mexico to bring them up to the US's Standard and influnce scoial change in south America with the goal of extending the US to the southern continent.

[Entsuropi]

I dunno which side the UK would take in US vs EU. Armageddon 2089 is a mecha roleplaying game that has that setup, might want to check out what it says.

My guess is neither. We would just do a switzerland, let everyone fight each other while we sip cognac and sell guns to everyone.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

I get the Impression that the brits might get big brother syndrome... (no one beats up my little brother but me!)

Plus Canada would be in it with us so....

[Entsuropi]

Ah yes, Canada. The United States subsiduary with the identity crisis. I am sure they would tip the tide, irregardless of any other factors.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

are you being sarcastic?

[EUOL]

Aw, man.  I missed the bitter political discussion!  That'll teach me for going out of town and letting everyone work out their differences in a peaceful way.

(Sigh.  Even Sprig is being civil--and in a political discussion!  How'd that happen?)

I think the EU's cool because I have a science fiction writer's mind.  I want to see everything conglomerate so that the world can progress toward SF coolness.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

We have more than Tom Cruise. We've got Harrison Ford and half a dozen boring guys playing Tom Clancy characters.

[Entsuropi]

Notice how EUOL likes the EU when he takes a perspective that focuses upon the distant future, and when he does not actually have to be a part of it?

And don't forget, we get Harry Potter as well!

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

Ok, then we get Yoda.

Which I guess means you get gandalf

which means we get the great American fantasy cahracters... which gives us... Allanon

Crap.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

Doesnt it also send us up the bomb?

[Entsuropi]

It also means we get Sauron.

So, in a battle between Sauron, Gandalf, James Bond, Harry Potter & Austin powers Vs Allanon, Yoda, Darth Vader, Tom Clancy generic heros #25 through #45 and Tom Cruise; who wins?

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

Dont forget, Stallone Luke and Han and Chewie, and Indy, and Jack from big trouble in little China.  Hey and we also get Jack nicholson as the Devil.... things are lookin up.

[Fellfrosch]

We also get Al Pacino as the Devil. That's two devils to one Sauron, who's a sub-devil at best. Besides, we also get Atticus Finch, who's allegedly the best movie hero of all time. How can you stand up to that?
