This is great... since I turned BF to ignore the thread is now just 10 pages... rather than 30.

thanks again

LOL...I have 9 users in my ignore list....

It makes reading this board so much easier.

...and there I was, leaving the board because of some of these immature kids...then I found the ignore list....all is well...

All I get now is "This message is hidden because 'Name of User' is on your ignore list"

....peace and quiet....



...but yeah...the blimp pictures rock!

But I have to make sure everyone knows that too?

Lol. I despise this type of behavior in real life, and with good reason too.

Although I hope the blimp project succeeds, this isn't good.

BeFranklin,

No visible cinching, and heavy gel-like adhesives would discolor the material.

I'm thinking spray on adhesive that must be screeted for smoothness. Maybe heat activated. Similar to wall-papering.

Just curious.

Looks Good!

Angelina Jolie has been cast as Dagny Taggart. According to scriptwriter Vadim Perelman, Jim Taggart will be the main villain. Lillian Rearden will have a significant role. Francisco D'Anconia will be Dagny's childhood sweetheart, and Hank Rearden will be her current love interest. John Galt, whose identity won't be revealed until near the end of the film, will have a romance with Dagny that won't start by the film's end but which will be hinted at.

Robert Stadler and Cheryl Taggart will not appear.

Oh, those bastards. Jim Taggart isn't a "main villain"! He's just a dumbass doing their bidding! No Robert Stadler? NO ROBERT STADLER?

Midas Mulligan? Bertram Scudder? Wesley Mouch? Cuffy Meigs? Eddie Willers? Ellis Wyatt? Ragnar Danneskjöld? Hugh Akston?

Nobody cares about Cheryl Taggart. I mean...really.

And Francisco's Money Speech better be used IN FULL. Obviously there's no way they'll do Galt's speech in full.

I don't think its that huge, maybe its just me. Someone posted this against a regular 747 if I remember correctly, - that is how huge it is.

I think the blimp is a good project. It has never been about it being "a big thing" to me though, but a nice thing. Maybe if I stood next to it it would look larger.

I never thought they were cheating us. I still think they weren't truthful. The people who have been insulting me aren't employing a method to convince me otherwise.

The purpose of the blimp to me was goodwill.

Everyone needs to know about the ignore function. It really is your own personal "ban" button and is great for starving trolls...

I should have turned it on long ago myself instead of responding to the insults. I really believed they would just go away by reasonable pointing out that insulting other supporters is wrong.

 

[jonhowe]

Yea, I'll even back Ben up on this one, he never really called them out for 'cheating', just for 'dishonesty'. What I see it as, however, is just misjudgment (or 10) on the part of the blimp people, and then poor use of words to correct them.

Honest misunderstandings on both sides.

But DAMN, thats one hell of a blimp!

we dont need to convince you. You can stay in your lala-land.

What makes you think anyone needs to convince you, if you feel like hell-bent on being stubborn.

No thanks we got better things... like promoting ron paul.

Have people really been accusing them of cheating?

Yeh, I told you... I'm not going to like it.... It's like the director is totally re-writing the story. I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't even about Objectivism.

And I never said they weren't being truthful either until almost a day later when they started attacking people for asking questions that still don't add up.

I don't think so. Last night you made a comment about suing them as a joke that people mistook

I never said you needed me. You do however need honesty and fair dealing with other people. That is something you can't get around.

Hillary could play Ivy Starnes. Who should play President Thompson?

My picks:

Brad Pitt = Eddie Willers
Morgan Freeman = Dr. Hugh Akston
Jon Lovitz = Wesley Mouch
Chris Cooper = Hank Rearden

OT so I'll stop now
