Even as a captain he wouldnt have any lines.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Sounds reasonable to me, given that oil companies are reporting profits in the tens of billions per quarter.

Love the new AV, stitch. :D

In that case, I will use my money to make a Mirror Universe film. Big explosions, evil ruthless commanders, humans that actualy act human, scantily clad women, what's not to like? 8)

Yeah... I actually like ENT and thought it was underrated.

Man, seeing what could've been spent... I'm pissed. Is that all right?

A lot of the stuff there is based on real world prices, or estimates from various organisations such as the WHO and UN. I'd say it's a fairly accurate site, though you need to treat it with a grain of salt, as anyone can edit it.

The ones like Education and Health care are the ones you really gotta worry about. Money cant solve everything.

Yeah, I figured that. What I'm pissed at is the waste of the money, there. All these things that, if not solved, then at least put on the right track.
