    In my world to come, you @Moose shall be my gardener until the authorities arrive, drag you from your caravan and insert you inside a research Virgin space vessel orbiting Mars, I'll send you a Christmas e-mail once a decade. It will happen, and watch this space.

    Happy number further away from 'what happened' and closer to 'well we all knew this was going to happen'!

    Unrealistic alien technology, I understand there's a suspension of disbelief and supposed to enjoy this super cool alien Tech. So f*** the laws of physics, am I right. Understand some movie but still f****** aliens and there unrealistic technology.

    Also, while on the subject. I f****** hate Harvester aliens and there retardation. Water, computer virus, bacterial or the planets alive magically. How about aliens die from bad music like that one horrible movie Mars Attacks or something like that. Also f*** Mars Attacks, f*** Alien Invasion movies, and f*** Hollywood and there endless rehashes.

    Edit: don't get me wrong I enjoyed s*** like hyperspace I love the idea of traveling through space. Also while on it f*** Michael Bay.

    Try the Mars Attacks books, they are way better than the movie and a lot more gory. :p
    The one I read it was a 5 man squad hunting and killing people in a museum. At one point
    they cut some ladies toes off during an interrogation.

    I'll take it into consideration though I pretty much dislike Alien Invasion Genre... I think my hatred came about with Outer Limits and X-Files of all places, but other media didn't help. Which is Ironic, because the people of my world get into deep space by reverse engineering some alien tech from a botched invasion attempt. They couldn't find the planet the scouts where on, and some other things happened as well.

    But while i'm on this mini rant of mine... I wanted to add, I fucking hate over powered super heroes and villains and then the retarded way they lose. For instance, Galactic, the motherfucker eats planets, but he is defeated for reasons. Same with Apocalypse... oh, he has a weakens on the back of his neck. or some Bullshit. It's mother fucking Apocalypse, he can do as he pleases. But again I hate over powered villains because they aren't fun. I mean at least Lex Luthor has to use Tech though he is a bit annoying as well.

    I'm not going to try and convert you since I share a lot of your sentiments, but Battle Los Angeles stood out (for most of the movie) in that the aliens:
    A) had a discernible and semi-believable objective
    B) used tactics
    C) used a crew-served weapon (brief shot, but seeing an alien reload was really cool)
    D) had concern for their fellow soldiers

    Few to none of these typically show up in alien invasion movies.

    The ending kinda sucked though.

    No, aliens never attack the Earth for a reasonable reason. You get
    extermination, or resources. Neither makes a lot of sense when
    in reality there is way more shit in the solar system that is just ripe
    for the taking than we have here on this little speck of dirt.

    Also in my book(s) the Aliens don't do either. But hey, not like they didn't
    have a little inside help, and a specific goal. Another story it is more like
    they are just citizens who just happen to exist in the galaxy, and have no
    interest or knowledge in boring old Earth. :p

    Yeah sorry about that, I'm using text-to-speech and it automatically sensors. You see my next post there's plenty of cussing since I use my computer instead of my phone or tablet. So it's good old Google censorship of beautiful words such as f***, s***, damn, piss, a******, I I guess not all words are censored by by the Nazis at Google!

    Edit: I was also to f****** lazy to fix it! Text to speech is Grand isn't it.

    Ugh. People on social media. One girl I know got herself probably one of the smallest tattoos I've ever seen. I mean it's nice, it's tasteful, it's about 6 characters in 14 pt. font, but now she's posting selfies of herself all over the palce all #inked, #tattoogirls. Like, I'm happy for your self esteem boost, but there's a difference between an inked tattoo girl and you, a girl with a tattoo that takes far too many selfies.

    I was never a fan of "Friends," but I saw a few episodes. In one of them, the girls went to get tattoos, and one of them chickened out at the first touch of the needle. Then she claimed the resulting blue dot was an image of the Earth, seen from veeerrry far away.

    My cousin shares posts on social media from people who complain about very specific events or traits that anger them- for example, girls declaring their hatred for all cheaters, etc.

    I usually don't even disagree, but it just seems mildly unnecessary and at times condescending.

    Men who can't tie a tie correctly. Or tie it too short. Or wear a tie with short-sleeves. Or--and this one really fries my nads--men who don't wear a tie clip in a setting that lends itself to stooping or bending. If you have to tuck your tie into your shirt to avoid mess and/or injury you deserve to have your face sucked into a table-saw. Yes, a tie-clip is intended to be decorative (up near the sternum) when wearing a jacket, but when it's just a shirt and tie, drop the clip down near your belly to keep the tie from flapping around.

    This annoys me too - I know it shouldn’t, their tatts are none of my business after all. But there is that small part of me that goes like o pweees I'm so much better than you cuz I endured the needle thock-thocking muh spine for hours and didn't even insta mine though it's way bigger than yours, hrrmmmrhrmr. (That's the sound my unwarranted sense of superiority makes.)

    Ties, generally speaking. There isn't a more useless, worthless, more inconvenient, and downright stupid article of clothing. If all ties in the world suddenly disappeared, the quality of human life would measurably improve.

    I hate, hate, hate ties.

    War sucks. And I'm not a pussy. And be careful not to get political in this thread - it can be moved to the Debate Room, and that's where it'll go if it gets contentious.
