Better Than CNN / News Archives / The Opinion: November 22, 2002 |
The newest addition to Better Than CNN is The Opinion. The Opinion is a discussion that we have on MSN, then post on the website. The first Opinion covers everything from robots, to pop music stars, to government cover-ups. Enjoy!
Jimm McShane: Do you have something against robots?
Nic Barnett: Yeah, damn piles of steel. Think they're better than humans.
Jimm McShane: The only robots I hate are robots in video games. Except the robots Sub-Zero made in Mortal Kombat.
Nic Barnett: I see your point. You know what really makes me angry, the space system. We spend billions upon billions of dollars to send people up there, and if you think about it, we don't even really need to know about things that aren't contained in Earth's atmosphere.
Jimm McShane: Yeah. "Let's go to the moon! ...again..."
Nic Barnett: I know, what's next? "Oh, that's so cute. We just wasted a billion dollars to watch whoever play golf on the moon."
Jimm McShane: "Let's send a member of a popular (but bad) music group to the moon...and leave him there."
Nic Barnett: When we do send more people up there, we should skip the rocket part, and just shoot them out of a big canon.
Jimm McShane: The only problem with that is spending billions of tax payer dollars to develop the high-tech cannon, not to mention building the damn thing!
Nic Barnett: It's better than spending 5 million dollars on rocket fuel.
Jimm McShane: Yeah.
Put that fuel in my car, not in the rocket.
Nic Barnett: Word.
Maybe the space system is a government sham. Perhaps they fake all the stuff (like the moon landings for one) and spend the tax dollars on hooch.
Jimm McShane: Well duh.
You didn't know?
Man, I thought I would have told you that much...
Nic Barnett: Oh, what. You have a man on the inside?
Jimm McShane: Yeah, that's right. Right now, he's inside the Pentagon. Getting me dirt on the Osama scam.
Nic Barnett: Osama scam?
Jimm McShane: Yes, the Osama scam has been going on since September 13, 2001. The government sent out their special mission force, Code Named "G.I. Joe" (yes, they really exist) and captured Osama bin Laden almost instantly. Did you think he could hide in caves that long?
Oh, I suppose I should tell you about Saddam Hussein, too.
Nic Barnett: Wait, there are a lot of caves out there, Jimm.
He is for sure caught?
Jimm McShane: Oh, yes. Definetly.
Nic Barnett: Now, what's with Saddam?
Jimm McShane: He's a robot.
Nic Barnett: Damn robots.
Jimm McShane: Yeah, it all comes back to robots, doesn't it?
Nic Barnett: Yes, yes it does.
Jimm McShane: My man on the inside is investigating the "searches" in Iraq. Everyone know's they're just moving the film studio where they fake the moon landings.
Nic Barnett: Give me a minute to gather all this information.
Jimm McShane: Alright.
Nic Barnett: Ok.
That was quite interesting, Jimm, thanks for the low down.
Jimm McShane: No problem.
