Somehow I don't really want to go in a ship made of microcline in the shape of ASCII text.
Heretic! Elf! Coward! :P
Excuuuuse me, princess, but I want my ship to be adamantine and powered by the screams of the damned.
Good thing humanity is messed up.

More accurately, some sort of amphibious lifeforms. I mean, come on! Newt Gingrich?

I think they're martian dinosaur cowboys.

Adamantine would be a perfect spaceship material.  As for being powered by screams... hmm... need to study designs from Monsters, Inc.

Cybernetic future martian dinosaur rocket-launcher cowboys.

Adamantine? Pffff, I build my ships out of black holes.

Screams of the damned? Pffff, I power my ships out of screams of gods in pain.



On another note, I think it may be time to stop the derail. Just a little. :P

Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Oh, that's not true. It just takes a little bit of calm contemplation to be able to sit back and chill while the world as you know it crumbles around you.

...It's an executive agreement. According to a guy I talked about with ACTA who takes AP Gov on another forums, this means that it doesn't have to go through the legislative branch anyway. AAARGGLEGARGLE WHERE DID THE PRESIDENT GET ALL THESE POWERS IN THE FIRST PLACE?!

They call it that, but it is a treaty by definition, so he could not have done that. I've heard rumors of the Supreme Court looking at that.

Strong and peaceful, wise and brave,
Fighting the fight for the whole world to save,
We the people will ceaselessly strive
To keep our great revolution alive!
Unfurl the banners! Look at the screen!
Never before has such glory been seen!

America! America! America, 'tis for thee!
Every deed, every thought, 'tis for thee!
Every deed, every thought, 'tis for thee!
Every deed, every thought, 'tis for thee!

I'm surprised nobody has yet attacked this from a more technical angle. Regardless of the contents of legislation, it must be enforceable, and for it to be enforceable it must be made publicly available. When the US government was questioned about it in the past, their reaction was that they couldn't comment due to it being a matter of national security. I fail to see how this related to national security in any way! So unless the US government can prove that the legislation does relate to national security then it is fundamentally flawed.

The last 10 years completely contradict everything you just said, unfortunately.

It relates to national security because any info that they would release could be potentially used against them, hence diminishing their power over the public.
