why participate in a thread about it? Because I miss the old days I guess. It's more than just complaining about a show, heck, America's military is starting to look like this. That means we're toast. Lower the requirements so that a 4 1/2 tall woman can become a Marine or a firefighter, or a cop. Come on. Remember that guy that was in court, and pushed the grandma securtity guard down, took her gun and ran? That's what I'm talking about. It's reflected in our tv/movies.
We're becoming a very effeminate culture, and weak. A nation of men, with male rulers could chew us up and spit us out. We'd be worrying about why they hated us, and send them a fruit basket or something.
Imagine what would happen if Hillary were in charge, and RUssia and China attacked. We'd be doomed. Heck, if I were a runssian in that situation-- I'D attack!
Nail-on-the-head again, warpcore. Nice post. I think a lot of people long for Captain Kirk and John Wayne. Too bad Hollywood (to their loss and ours) never seems to deliver.

Yeah, but complaining about a show to the fans of that show on an internet thread does exactly what to solve this problem? Try writing your Congressman or Bush instead. People here just want to talk about the show, which is nothing more than that.

As long as the women can enter launch codes into a computer, we're OK.

Imagine ANY Democrat with the powers of the Patriot Act at their disposal! So long, Freeper Rallies!!
Again, if either RU or the ChiComms attack, the pressing of some buttons into a mainframe computer will incinerate hundreds of millions of them.
No lowering the requirements in BSG. Starbuck was a ruthless flight instructor, and IIRC she was especially harsh on one potential female pilot who couldn't hack it. In the show, the reason for the exceptional ruthlessness and high standards came from her previously having passed Adama's other son, who was not up to flying a Viper, resulting in his death.
If anything, that whole sub-plot stressed the need to never lower your standards.
