Miss Teen USA candidate, Lauren Upton:

Quote
Q. Why can't a fifth of Americans locate the US on a map?

A. I personally believe that ... um ....that US Americans are unable to do so because, ah soma people out there in our nation don't have maps and uh...I belive our education, like just as in south africa and the Iraq...everywhere..like such as..and...ah...and I believe that they should...our education over here in the US should help the US....or should help South Africa and should Iraq and the Asian Countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children.

Eh, I find her attractive. That clip is sooo huge right now, it's ridiculous.
She may not be the smartest tool in the shed, but I think her nerves had a huge part in the words that spewed stupidly form her mouth. But then again she may just be an idiot.  :lol:

She's an idiot, but the question was just stupid anyways...I mean, what was the answer they were expecting? How many good answers are there? "Yeah, that's lame...lots of Americans are dumb, I guess...?"

Anyways...here's all the quotes I currently have on this CD that has some of my written crap on it from before my comp did what it did...

Final Fantasy 6 (Re-Translation)

Figaro Castle Prisoner: Damn! Er, does my body stink?

Figaro Castle Woman: Master Edgar really likes women. From children on up to old woman, and everything in between.

Cefca: SON OF A BITCH! You'll pay for this soon!

Vargas: Die! Super Wind Tsunami Fist!

Bannan: Do you know this story? When evil was still absent from the hearts of men, there was said to be a box that could never be opened. However, one man decided to open that box. From inside came all the evils of the human heart...Jealousy...Envy...Greed...Hatred...Control...But a single grain of light remained inside the box...A light known as hope.
Tina: ...
Bannan: No matter what may be, I don't believe your powers are a curse. They are the last grain of light left to this world. They are the grain of light called 'hope'.

Tina: Hope...I...I've never had much of it...

Lock: Oh yes......Take care around a certain infamous king and his swift hands.

Shadow: The reaper is always running after me.

Cefca: It doesn't matter! Those monkeys deserve to die, getting caught by the enemy!

Cefca: Kh, shut up, you. You're an eyesore!

Cefca: Wait, he says! Ha, do I look like a waiter to you!?

Cefca: Haahaahaa...You're one way too persistent bugger!!!

Cefca: Hehe...Hundreds of screams shall echo in my ears like an orchestra, and then cease to exist. Hehe...

Mash: Ouchies...Shouldn't walk into the midst of a battle...

Mash: Food, food! Preferrably a lot of it!

Mash: The world's greatest swordsman? Yeah right, get lost before you get burned.

Dancer: Hey, pops. Care to have some fun with me? Come on!
Cayene: W, w, w, w, w, why you slut! Get your hands off of me!
Dancer: Stop being so stiff. You'll enjoy it. Promise, boyfriend.
Cayene: B, b, b, b, b, boyfriend!?
Mash: Cayene, buddy, don't let it bug you.
Cayene: H, how can you be so calm?
Mash: I deal with this sort of thing all the time. I happen to know quite a bit on the subject of women.
Dancer: Don't be tight-lipped. Hehe...
Cayene: D, damn. Listen. There is a thing we call "decency". You should be more modest, so you don't embarass yourself. And furthermore...And...And then, too...Yeah, yeah.

Setzer: I'll express my love to you slowly, later.

Setzer: You can't do a thing about it. When things fall, they fall...Keeping up is all a matter of fate, a gamble with your life...

Setzer: The most important thing...? To have no obligations, so you're free to gamble without risk!

Mog: A creepy old man named Ramah came to me in a dream, kupo.

Cid: What a great ship you have here.
Setzer: The engine was damaged by the shock of the emergency landing, and it's still under repair. It's going to take some time to finish fixing it.
Cid: I can help. I'm a master mechanic.
Setzer: I can figure it out myself.
Cid: You could make this thing so much faster if you got rid of that gambling casino, you know.
Setzer: ......Shut the hell up!! Go on, get out of here!
Cid: But it really would speed this thing up...
Tina: I really like this ship.
Setzer: I remember when I was your age, before I was a gambler, and I was devoted to something other than this ship...
Tina: ......Huh?
Setzer: I dreamed of making the fastest ship in the world, and flying all over the sky in it...I pursued that dream relentlessly.
Tina: And it's different now?
Setzer: That dream was all that drove me on back then. There was another airship in the world at that time, the fastest ever, the Falcon. Its pilot and I...We used to be the best of friends, and the most intense rivals ever. Back then, we'd fly the skies together, without a care in the world...But then, one day, the Falcon and its pilot disappeared, and my happy days of youth were over.......Darryl.........

Shadow: I'm working for the Empire now....Oh, but you don't need to worry. I'm not about to backstab you if the opportunity presents itself.

The beginning of Magic......Three gods were banished from the heavens, and they quarreled with one another on this plane. Those who got in their way were transformed into Phantom Beasts, and forced to fight for them. The battle between the three continued for a long time. Finally, after centuries of battling one another, the three realized that they were not accomplishing anything. In a rare moment of mutual agreement, they sealed each other in stone, neutralizing one another's powers, and freed the Phantom Beasts from their bonds to them. They formed the "Eternal Seal", and entrusted the Phantom Beasts to protect it for all time. In order to prevent the tragedies that the three gods instigated before, and to prevent their power from being tampered with, these three idols were crafted. The long sleep of the Gods of Battle must not be disrupted, or the world may again be destroyed...

Relm: What's wrong, randy man?
Edgar: How old are you?
Relm: Ten. Strange old man. Relm is coming, too.
Edgar: That's just criminal......Don't even think of it.

Lynx: Life and death...Love and hate...They are all the same.

Dark Serge: Now, let love bleed! Darker and deeper than the seas of hell!

Kid: Up until that Lynx bastard...came and shattered our happiness to pieces!

Kid: In this world, the underhanded always gets the last laugh. Only the ones who don't think anything of hurtin' others are the ones who get bloodstained fortunes. The ones who kill, the ones who devour, they're the ones who survive. That's the only rule of this world.

Kid: I'll abide by this world's rules, and do what I gotta do, despite the rotten hand of cards I've been dealt!

Kid: The world's callin' you Serge...Callin' that lost piece of the puzzle...

Kid: I'm gonna kick yer sorry arses so hard you'll kiss the moons!

Doc: ...Another life is about to slip through my hands...just like before.

Funguy: I'll stalk you through the depths of hell!

Miguel: There is nothing in the world as ruthless or impartial as death.

Miguel: People are dragged into playing this game...forced to put their lives on the line...without even knowing the rules. Without even being allowed to complain, they try to do their best under the conditions placed upon them...The only alternative is to give up and leave the playing field in a forfeit...

Miguel: Don't let it bother you. It's just a distant echo from ones far gone...It's just an illusion.

The Prophet (Belthasar): You have no place in this world...Here, you are but a ghost brought back from the past!

Skelly's Grandma: Don't hold back tears of joy.

Dwarf Chieftain: You will pay for not heeding our warnings...with your death!

Blue Dragon: Wilt thou change this world...Or wilt thou change thyself? Wilt thou live on with thy mother planet...Or wilt thou turn thy back on the planet and tread another path?

White Dragon: I, too, would like to witness this. How thou shalt live and how thou shalt die...If thou art planning to bring forth a new entity, prepare thyself for anguish and sorrow.

Zelbess: How I pity you , mirror, for man does not see you as the mirror that you are.

Rosetta: A very sad tragedy, triggered by the acts of humans.

8-Bit Theater

Theif: Your GP or your HP!

Fighter: Y'know. Random encounters. You'll just be walkin' along and wham, a batch of monsters appear out of nowhere and you have to fight to the death!
Black Mage: You're a looney.

Black Mage: Oh sweet zombie jesus on a pogo-stick! We're screwed.

Fighter: My invincibility is killing me.

Fighter: We're so powerful, just our battlecry killed them!

Black Mage: Give my regards to the bottom of the ocean, sinky!

Yoda: Trips lead to absences Absences lead to guest strips. Guest strips...lead to copyright infringement. Yes, I sense much copyright infringement in this.

Red Mage: And I thought all thieves could do in a fight was run away.

Fighter: Wait, let me get this straight. So thief is the elf formerly known as prince?

Black Mage: It's what he would have wanted...If he was me.

Red Mage: Here's dice in your eye!

Black Mage: The thing about calling upon "true guardians" is that it tends to take longer than a fatal mob stabbing.

Black Mage: Man, democracy sucks when only one guy is in charge.

Theif: Well, yeah. That was my first clue. You're a chancellor, they're always backstabbers scheming to take the throne from those who rightfully deserve it through accident of birth.

Fighter: That'll make you think twice before succumbing to gravity chump.

Garland: A meal that costs my dignity is still free.

Red Mage: I was born ready.
Fighter: I was born naked and screaming.

Red Mage: The earth orb! Lich must've kept it on him and when Fighter attacked, he--
Theif: Exposition later--Acquisition now!

Optimus Prime: Fightion! Megatron has stolen all the Energon!
Fighter: We knew this day would come.

Sarda "The Mage Who Did It": We used to have 36 hour days, but i keep them at 24 hours now just to make everyone hurry.

Fighter: You mean we are collecting the long lost engine cores for each of the Voltron Lions so we can become defenders of the universe?

Black Mage: I should have mentioned this at the beginning. I solve my problems through violence.

Theif: I find it interesting that both Batman and Lex Luthor refer to Superman as "The Alien."
Red Mage: It shows that they share an inherent distrust.
Fighter: Could you imagine? A Wayne-Luthor team up? I'm scared, hold me.
Red Mage: You join that organization and you're on the winning team.

Theif: Plus, Red Mage? You cannot tell him this, but he's not really a cross dresser and he has no daddy issues. I've just been messin' with his head.

Black Belt: Yeah, I sweat wisdom for breakfast.

Black Mage: "No, I don't want to learn a teleportation spell." I said. "That'd be one less doom spell," I said. Those are only my fragile hands. Step all over them, it's cool. Jerks.

Fighter: When you gotta do somethin' wrong, you gotta do it right!

Black Mage: And how are we supposed to do smart things? Just think them up?

Red Mage: Hey, BM, what makes your Hadoken work, anyway?
Black Mage: Promise not to tell anyone?
Red Mage: For the purposes of this conversation, yes, I do.
Black Mage: Love.
Red Mage: Love.
Black Mage: Love is a very powerful force. Even more so when it's focused into a coherent beam of destruction. Every time I cast Hadoken, it siphons away some of the love in the universe. I'm not sure how much, but I'm given to understand the divorce rate goes up with each blast.

Fighter: Oh, gravity, my nemesis. One day I'll, hey, a note.

Red Mage: Sigh. /bug: I have found a vendor who does not give the quest reward upon quest completion.
Vendor: Are you on the dope, son? Get out of here before I call the cops on you, punk.

Black Mage: Infinite nothingness sucks.

Red Mage: Let's rip causality a new one!

Theif:: You should check out this great new spell I legitimately invented just now.
Blast of Ice (a totally real spell)
Spell Components: Ice
Semantic Components: Throw (ice)
Red Mage: Sounds legitimate.

Black Mage: Hey, do we come to your tea party and slap your disgusting genitals out of your mother's mouth?

Black Mage: I just want to murder someone, don't weird it up.

Black Mage: What is this, some kinda study group of lame? Who takes notes? Seriously.

Red Mage: What's wrong with being thorough? I always go for the deepest probing action humanly possible.

Fighter: ...And then Jackie Chan was all "Fighter, only your blade can defeat Aku." 'Cause Cobra Commander had kidnapped--
Theif: Okay, Fighter? I asked if you wanted some lunch.
Fighter: I'm getting to that.

Red Mage: Lies are all I have, really....Lies and vaudeville.

Red Mage: That's us! We're heroes and totally not charlatans.

The Whirlpool

Whirlpool: ..HCTIB RUOF F TLA HSUP...A magic spell?

Stephen King

Roland Deschain (The Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower): My first suggestion is that you fix that fucking stutter.

Roland Deschain (The Dark Tower V: Wolves of the Calla): All my life I've had the fastest hands, but at being good I was always too slow.

Narrator (The Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger & The Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower): The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.

The Dark Tower (The Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower): Cam-a-cam-mal, Pria-toi, Gran delah/White over Red, thus Gan wills ever/Good over Evil, this is the will of God

Tom Cullen (The Stand): The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want for nothing. He makes me lie down in the green pastures. He greases my head with oil. He gives me kung-fu in the face of my enemies. Amen.

Television & Movies

Duddits (Donnie Wahlburg in Dreamcatcher): Dude, I said, "un urm ill erl."

Barry Egan (Adam Sandler in Punch-Drunk Love): I have so much strength in me. You have no idea. I have a love in my life. It makes me stronger than anything you can imagine.

Zim (Invader Zim): Now to unleash screaming temporal doom!

Dr. Hunter S. Thompson: There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live and too rare to die.

Coach McGuirk (Home Movies): The other thing, Brenden, is cheating...is just another way of being prepared.
Brenden Small: Uh, ok.
Coach McGuirk: Basically, memorizing something is cheating...
Brenden Small: Right.
Coach McGuirk: ...you knew the answer before the test was given...
Brenden Small: Right.
Coach McGuirk: ...and so by taking the test and saying you learned that stuff...
Brenden Small: ...is cheating.
Coach McGuirk: ...it's cheating you're already cheating.
Brenden Small: Wow.
Coach McGuirk: Yeah. I mean, i'm discovering all this too, as i say it.

Coach McGuirk (Home Movies): I wasn't crying, Brenden, I was remembering...with tears.

Other Crap

LegendPst: I have quiet a question for an intellectual (sorta) such as yourself.

Kazuki: Thank you Serge, but our Princess is in another dimension!

Someone said this on another forum about the game HAZE being a PS3 exclusive

Quote
Nah, this is probably a "Timed Exclusive"... They can't make their money back if there are only 4 million people that own a PS3 and most of them aren't aware that it plays games.

Out of a dream:
Kid: Oy!  I can't even have a bloody meal without you tryin' to ruin things!

Serge: I'm getting a little sick of this routine.
Harle: You and everyone elze.

Me: Kid.  The one person in this entire flippin' group that lacks the subtlety God gave the atomic bomb.

Me:  Ignore her.  She's just being cute.

Here's a more or less random dump from my own quote text. A lot of them are not attributed, either because they are general sayings whose origins are long since lost, or because I simply forgot who said them. Some of them are my own quotes or my own version of a more popular quote.



Money is the wealth of a world that doesn't turn.

"That which we regard as a weakness in others may in fact be a weakness in ourselves."

A single man can do little, but lead a billion others.

Do not be afraid to fear.

Nothing is good simply because it's old.

Power is born when freedom marries responsibility.

To win a war, you must stop fighting. To end war, you need only stop fighting.

Before you write the word, contemplate its worth, for to breach the page is an irrevocable sin.

Happiness is a choice.

Evil cannot harm you unless you let it.

A tyrant has no more power than that which is given to him.

"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense." -Siddhartha Gautama Buddha

"Treat others as you treat yourself."

"It is glorious to die for a cause, but moreso to live for one."

"You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." -John 8:32

"We must either find a way or make one." -Hannibal

"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind." - Mohandas 'Mahatma' Gandhi

"I got soul but I'm not a soldier." -The Killers

"Put your sword back in its place, for all who draw the sword will die by the sword." -Matthew 26:52

"Tak does not demand that we think of Him, only that we think." -Terry Pratchett, Thud!

"Whoso would be a man must be a non-conformist." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

"He who fights with monsters must take care lest he thereby become a monster. For if you gaze for long into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." -Friedrich Nietzsche

In memoriam: "I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." -Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

"You're saying humans need... fantasies to make life bearable." "Really? As if it was some kind of pink pill? No. Humans need fantasy to be human. To be the place where the falling angel meets the rising ape." -Terry Pratchett, Hogfather

There is a difference between power and strength.

The wages of sin is death but so is the salary of virtue. -Terry Pratchett, Witches Abroad

"The good are innocent and create justice. The bad are guilty, which is why they invent mercy." -Terry Pratchett, Witches Abroad

Just because something is impossible doesn't mean it can't be done.

"Either All Days Are Holy Or None Are." -Terry Pratchett, Feet of Clay

Purity is weak. Diversity is strength. (Or, as Terry Pratchett put it, "Alloys are stronger.")

"Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated." -Samuel 'Mark Twain' Clemens

"The Lord said, "if as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them." Genesis 11:6

"Your life is yours alone. Rise up and live it." -Terry Goodkind, Faith of the Fallen

Any government that angers enough people to overthrow it deserves to be overthrown.

Death may seek the living, but the living rarely seek death.

Rhetoric is what holds bad ideas together. It is the glue of idiocy.

The truest kind of victory is that which makes an enemy into a friend.

Life cannot be taken, only given.

Fate is determined by others, destiny by oneself.

Inside everyone is an angel yearning to be realized.

Space is the difference between a part and apart.

Everything is real.

Unite in diversity.

All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated and well supported in logic and argument than others. -Douglas Adams

Whether you can observe a thing or not depends on the theory which you use. It is the theory which decides what can be observed. -Albert Einstein

To punish me for my contempt of authority, Fate has made me an authority myself. -Albert Einstein

This too shall pass.

Hate is not overcome by hate; by love alone is hate appeased. -Siddhartha Gautama Buddha

"Where you see obstacles, I see pathways."

"While you were busy taking sides, I was moving forward."

"Intelligence is knowing how to do something. Wisdom is knowing whether it should be done."

"Ye who are worse than blind: you see my face and look no further."

Who would rule must also serve.

"There are two kinds of courage: the courage to live and the courage to die." -Nuclear bombing survivor

"Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make all of them yourself."

The hardest part is getting started.

Fate is retroactive. When looking at a past event, you can say it was fated, for there is no way to change that outcome, but for any future event, there is no determining its outcome. Fate has not yet been decided.

Belief is the resort of those who lack knowledge. Pity those who possess only faith.

My three favorite quotes of all time:

Quote
"Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see."
--Mark Twain


Quote
"Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it."
--Confucius


Quote
"Love is the emblem of eternity:
it confounds all notion of time,
effaces all memory of a beginning,
all fear of an end."
--Germaine De Stael
