Is that the one that stars "ARNOLD" in the lead role as mild manner farmer by day, but at night he transforms into
SUPERKUBOTAMAN!!!!

Well, actually, the Black Tractors/alien transformers had been monitoring human activity to determine if humanity is worth saving. There's a flashback in the movie when the audience discovers that they had posed as moderators on the forums to pose difficult questions and observe the human responses to their questions.

One of the principle reasons the critics dogged the movie is that they were never satisfied with the actor chosen to protray the lead character. The producters originally cast Val Kilmer, but he had to drop out. Then they cast Harrisoin Ford, but Spielberg got him for another Star Wars project. I forget all of the actors they went thorugh. Anyway, it went on like this for a while, but they never quite found anyone that the critics felt was quite up to the Bird character.

But to answer your question, the aliens used Kubotaman as someone to draw media attention to and away from themrselves while they maintained their secret identities.

I'm not saying ANY solution is better than no solution. I am saying there are a bunch of people in this thread whining about the current situation but offering NO solution.

The fact is there are millions of have-nots in this country that are not going away. Now what are we going to do with them and who is going to pay for those solutions? That's why I support a flat tax across the board with no minimum or maximum income limits. Everyone pays an equal percent. I also support a list of social programs. Work for welfare and mandatory drug testing for welfare. I support lower prison terms for minor non-violent drug users. I support community service for repentance: work release. I support free drug rehab for two time losers. I support three strikes you're out to some extent. I support public education. Hey, public education is about as socialist as you can get. Take my money to teach someone else's child. What if I don't have kids? Why should my tax dollars pay for public school? Because if we don't educate our neighbor he will be some drooling fool stealing to survive.

Amazingly mossroad I agree with just about all your idea's so I guess we have more in common than not. I agree we can't let people starve but neither should we make welfare too easy. Welfare used to have a stigma. No more. Now it's a way of life for some people and that is not acceptable to me. I've been in welfare recipient houses and they ALL have large screen TV's, cable tv, and cell phones. Food stamps used to get sold to the bodega's for $.50 on the dollar so beer and cigarettes can get bought. Why are people on welfare even SHOPPING at convenience stores for their major shopping and paying a premium?

I'd rather see soup kitchens and orphanages. (Do you recall the scene when Michelle Obama was volunteering in the soup kitchen and someone in line getting free food was taking a picture of her on their cell phone? They have a $40 a month cell phone why????)

I guess I just reject the notion that there are that many TRULY needy people out there. Cut out the sponges and I'm more inclined to take care of the rest. Just remember, a wiser man than me said, "Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lieftime" I think we should stop giving away fish and make people fish.

No, I think we SHOULD give away sardines

After being discovered, then the Great Server crash occurred. It's rumored there was considerable debate among the aliens whether the humans were worth saving, but since all records were lost in the server crash, no one is sure.

Actually, some had a substance called "paper'
and it was used in some primitive societies that were not at all advanced. Its seems that someone "wrote" something about the "great server crash" and it was saved for posterity.
Well it seems that after all the humans were gone ,a lower form of life emerged, they were called Oliticians and they were a very destructive race, but they reproduced at an astonishing rate, and the rest of the planet then went into a death spiral, as you know, and perhaps explains why we are now living on the planet Eaganwasright.

Well, see, there we go... common ground! :laughing:

Any time the local news is interviewing someone on T.V. that is receiving aid, be it government, private, etc... my wife and I look in the background for the big screen or X box. I'm pretty sure more than half the time those luxury items are there, so you are not alone in noticing those things.

Many of us need to talk face-to-face to see the facial expressions and body language each of us are using. I'm sure I come across as argumentative when I do not mean to be. :thumbsup:

So what do we do with them? Leave 'em lay in the gutter? Perhaps sterilize them and let them roam the streets? Easy for you to say too bad. Hard for you to offer a solution, though, isn't it?

No it is not hard for me to offer a solution....back when I was growing up before government interference private charities and individuals as well as churches provided and hand up to folks ...not a hand out...There is your solution..Teach a man how to fish instead of giving him fish...Do you disagree Moss ?

On this particular item, I think you need to get out there (with some backup) and go through some of the areas like the south side of Chicago, East St. Louis, Detroit, heck, here in South Bend, IN even where there is a 40% vacant housing rate. Yes. 40% non-occupied houses. There are no jobs to be had. Even if some young inner city kid was blessed with parents that cared and provided for him, there is no place for him to make a living. And if you have no money, you can't even afford to move to a place where there IS employment. It is bad.

Ever seen the movie Soilent Green?

Yes Mossroad I have seen the movie " Soilent Green and found it disgusting , however , now it seems it may have been prophetic...Is that what you believe in ? Exterminating older folks who have paid into a system which promised them Social Security and Then Medicare and now wants to breach the contract because they have raided the trust fund and allowed previously unqualified folks to join social security and medicare and along with government theft, bankrupt it ...Are you for that ? If you are not old now and you are lucky enough one day you will be so be careful what you wish for....it may just end up applying to you.
