Did you miss the part where half of those board members wanted to certify the results? So, the split decision proves exactly nothing; half for, half against with default permitting discarding the test reults. So next should we not question the reasoning of the members voting to discard the...

Cheeze Pavilion I bolded the important parts for you, since you ignored them. A competitor of the test offered criticism of the test and said that he could make a better test, shocking! The same competitior acknowledged that the test did not cross the legal threshold into the realm of...

http://www.scotuswiki.com/index.php?title=Ricci%2C_et_al._v._DeStefano%2C_et_al. Ricci v. DeStefano is a perfect example of Political Correctness run amok. Groups of test takers study for and take a promotion exam. (Designed to be racially unbiased, or to display as little bias as possible)...

Mattersmasher; When you begin a statment with "I think it is fair to say . . . " it usually means that you have looked at evidence both for and against what you are about to state, and have come to a conclusion that what you are stating is the logical result from comparing the evidence, it...

Dr. Gordon Freeman, Mario, Luigi, Samanosuke Akechi, Solid Snake, Samus Arayan (yes she is a girl, but that just goes even further against your theory), . . . the list could continue. Seriously look for counter examples before promoting your opinion, "I think it is fair to say that most...

Please quote to me where Ian Fleming says that James Bond is the characters REAL name, and not a code name? He says he chose the dullest sounding name he could think of, but he still maintained that James Bond was a SECRET agent. Secret Agents need cover identities, lest they not be secret anymore.

The real problem lies with the movie world, and not the written world. The actor portraying Bond in the movies has changed so many times, and so much (due to real world things, like the passage of time and prevailing cultural changes) that the association of the designation Bond is no longer...

Are you actually implying that James Bond is the characters REAL name? Of course it should be bland and not memorable, its a COVER name, he is a SECRET agent . . . I mean seriously . . . Hi I'm James Bond, look me up in the pages. . . really? If his cover name was Excelsior Caesar people would...

Is the designation James Bond a code name given to an agent of the British government? Yes. Is the 007 merely a level of "security clearance" granted to agents of the government? Yes. Are there Black citizens of the U.K.? Yes. Are there female alcoholics? Yes. Are there female...

Seeing that Bond is a Code Name, and the designation 007 is just a license to commit certain extra legal activities, why should their not be a Bond who is not white and male. I think the idea of a Black Female 007 code named JANES BOND would be a great movie. As long as she is an alcoholic...

I'm an American. And as a fierce nationalist, I would love to invade every single one of your piddly countries and grind you under my opressive gas guzzling fat boot heel! Canada? Canada doesn't even have as many people as California, 33 million. WTF is that? Thats not a country thats the size...
