For as much as I hate Ronald Reagan, I like that he got away with firing the air traffic controllers when they went on strike.

I'm not a big fan of strikes. Or unions. Or workers, really.

A former commander of mine was sent to the German mountain jaeger course or something like that (can't remember the exact term). But yeah, the elite in most NATO spec ops/forces are so similar they might as well have been twins at birth. America has some of the best spec forces soldiers in the world, why do you think that merc/security companies are hiring these people? Anyway, from what I understand Europeam spec forces are often subject to less public scrutiny due the home country's control of the media, which makes them seem mysterious and badassed.

I liked the movie. Cheesy and too compressed at times, but it was fun.

Well, using that rationale I can say that the Ethiopeans have the best program because I've never seen an American news program criticize their police or spec ops, either.

Actually, come to think of it, I've never heard them criticize the North Koreans' either. Their government, sure, but not for the quality of their cops or spec ops.

Ethiopeans lol, that's a good one

Third grade. He hit his head really hard on a pole and was completely sane for a good half-hour.

I liked the movie well enough it had it's entertaing parts. But what I really liked was when he threw the grenade? and cause it had what an electro magnet in it it flew to the nearest metal and stuck at least till it blew up. Hehe who needs a throwing skill if the grenade is just gonna home in on the nearest metal object sounds fun to play with for Shadowrun.

Because if you time it incorrectly and have a cyberlimb, it'll home in on you (IOW, Rule of One).

I thought it was the other way around???

Kidman left him because both of them were interested in SS relationships.

It isn't so much grammatically incorrect as it is totally ungrammatical. The morphemes are in all the right places, but there's no syntax at all.

well first off I apparently clicked the wrong quote button so I had your comment as the quote SL James and secondly I had just woke up sorry for not typing correct grammar.

Although I didn't know we stood on formality around here.

It's greatly appreciated. What we really stand on, though, is intelligibility.
