What are some good quotes you have?  :):yes:
(rather put them in Italics as opposed to using the QUOTE tag, cause the QUOTE tag takes too much space)


"No one is a virgin.  Life screws us all"

A true friend stabs you in the front

Good friends will come bail you out of jail; best friends will sit next to you on the bench and say "That was Awesome!"

"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double- edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils  with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar." -- Julius Caesar

Those who would trade freedom for security will lose both, and deserve neither. -- Benjamin Franklin

"This Legislature takes my gay tax dollars, and my gay tax dollars spend the same as your straight tax dollars. If you're not going to treat me fairly, stop taking my tax dollars." -- Arizona State Rep. Steve May

"The whole point of free expression is not to make ideas exempt from criticism but to expose them to it." -- columnist Garry Wills

Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. -- C.S. Lewis

All posts from the little flame war that was going on here were deleted. If any of your posts were deleted, it was because they were part of the discussion or quoted it. If I see anything like it anywhere on the forums again everyone involved will be banned on the spot - so everyone, think twice before posting that acid-and-not-funny remark.

We do in power, but not necessarily in responsibility. You might notice that a few of the admins have "left", but retain their admin powers even so - that's because we trust them with it, and that way they can help out when they are able to.

Well you got two things wrong there.
First it was Bane and he's male, second he just said: Oh God. But hey, that's a nice quote.  I have to say that in this film Smith is deffinetly my favorite character.
 Or how about:

Agent: You?!
Smith: Yes me.
*PUNCH*
Smith: Me..me..me
Smith copy: Me too

and of course:
Smith: It's happening exactly as before
Smith Copy: Well not EXACTLY
