  1. Likes (recent): Call of Duty 4 Halo 3 (though I agree, overrated) Assassin's Creed (thought it got boring after awhile) Rainbow Six: Vegas Dislikes (recent): Turok Guitar Hero. Any and all of them. I hate the series and everything similar. Other: I bought Mass Effect but haven't had a chance to play it yet. How is it?

  6. My concern with it being legalized is as HV stated, it being treated like alcohol. Alcohol is legal, driving under the influence of alcohol isn't, yet how many people push that line? How many get 'just drunk enough' and try to pass? I'm just afraid it's going to lead to more incidents like that. I don't have a problem with people using it, I just don't want it to lead to potential consequences like other performance inhibiting substances. My other post about their stupidity was just meant to say, since it is illegal, don't expect to not get arrested or complain if you do.
  7. Agreed Ect. As of right now, it's illegal, if someone uses it, they knowingly take the risk of getting arrested. I'm fine with my tax dollars paying for their stupidity. Edit: I'm also not concerned because I don't really think it should be decriminalized anyways.
  8. Don't buy gold, it's lame. But more than that, how can you justify spending hundreds of dollars on a virtual item? I am leagues away from ever having my epic flyer, but I just do my dailies, sell some enchants, quest, etc, whenever I find the extra time. I'll get it eventually, and you can too.

    Personality Junk

    You Are An ESTJ The Guardian You're a natural leader and quick, logical decision maker. Goals are important in your life, and you take many steps to acheive them. You enjoy interacting with others, mostly through work related activities. Your high energy level means you are great at getting things done! In love, you tend to bring stability to relationships. You feel comfortable being in charge, and you enjoy being a provider. At work, you take charge. You thrive in structured environments and don't mind enforcing the rules. You would make a great teacher, judge, or police detective. How you see yourself: Realistic, stable, and pragmatic When other people don't get you, they see you as: Rigid, bound to rules, and a bad listener

    I want this Law.

    Not New York, which is probably another reason I was confused. Edit: It is known as 'the passing lane', but legally you don't have to be passing someone or turning left. It's just kind of accepted that people in the left lane will be going faster than those on the right.

    Don't get me wrong, I hate it when people go too slow in the left hand lane, but how can they give a ticket for going the speed limit?

    I don't think that men should have the right to make the decision, I think men and women together should. Obviously exception cases such as rape are incredibly devastating and hard calls for anyone to make, but even so I would advocate adoption over abortion. For failed contraception, no, I still wouldn't advocate abortion. If you use a condom and she is on the pill, the chances of pregnancy are very very small. Even so, when you have sex, regardless of the protection used, a child is a potential consequence and people should have to deal with it. My perspective derives from this: a fetus is a life, and as such, the termination of a pregnancy should always be the very last option. I hope it doesn't seem I am touting beliefs in some inappropriate manner. I just enjoy a good debate/discussion and wanted to clarify my position.

    I very strongly disagree with this. In every other aspect of having a child, both the mother and father are included in the responsiblities(legally speaking). It takes 2 people to create that child, so why does one party get the decision over life or death? Yes, I understand that the child is in the woman's body, and her body is her right. However, this is where personal responsiblity comes into play. If you don't take precautions against getting pregnant, then that is a potential consequence. You know this going in. If the father is willing to step up and take care of the child, why does his opinion, and even further, his claims to the child, not matter?
  17. Yea... that's messed up. Yes the outage sucked. Should service have been better? Yes. Are people paying for a service they didn't receive? Yes Is the approximate $1 a week you pay for XBOX live service in any way worth $5 million in damages to 3 customers? dee dee dee

    Abortion - I don't believe in abortion, plain and simple. The only exceptions may are in the case where an unexpected pregnancy may threaten the life of the mother. I agree with Soma that it is a byproduct of larger problems, namely education and personal responsibilty. There are other viable options if a child is unwanted, like adoption. Civil Rights - People nowadays seem to be all too willing to give up our rights for more 'security'. It kills me to hear people with that mindset, it makes me believe that we're losing what the USA has always been about. Corporations - (no citations for this one, sorry. This info came from one of my classes and some former research for the class) Corporations currently pay less than 1/3 of the taxes they used to, and it accounts for less than 1/10th of the federal budget now. If they were to pay the same percentage they did used to, it could completely wipe the federal deficit clean. Might prices go higher for the consumer? Yes, that's possible. As it stands though, our tax dollars already partially subsidize corporate expenses so we lose either way. I am discouraged to see CEOs making billions and their companies are receiving tax breaks while the blue collar worker and those impoverished struggle and pay out of what little they make. Death Penalty - Tough issue for me. I am religious, and as such I believe in forgiveness, to a point, and that all killing is immoral. However, if a violent crime were to happen to a member of my family, I know I wouldn't be able to say "yea, let him live." At the same time, people serving life in prison with no possibility of parole have nothing to lose by harming guards and other inmates. Somewhat of a tangent: One thing people tend to forget regarding violence and treatments of inmates is that most will return to society at some point. So even while people are saying "good, they deserve it" when you hear of a prisoner being abused, keep in mind that that treatment will affect them, and subsequently those who they encounter again when they're released. Drugs - Keep them illegal. Education - Very tough issue. Teaching for the test sucks, and I truly hate the No Child Left Behind Act. Under what logic does giving less funding to the schools that do poorly, who therefore need more help, work at all? Sex Education - Stop teaching abstinence only! It doesn't work, and we know that based on cold, hard, facts. To give funding for those schools that teach abstinence only is ridiculous. Oil and the Environment - Oil is a limited resource. It will run out. Let's become less dependent, mmkay? I'm not sure who does believe in global warming and who doesn't, but I do. Is it exaggerated? Maybe, but what we do does effect the environment, and we need to keep in check. Families & Children - This is where I disagree with Soma. The world's population is growing fastest in the poorest countries, the USA doesn't really have a problem in this area, or at least so it seems to me. Personally, I intend on having a big family, it's what's important to me. QFT Soma. Again, QFT Soma. Also, down with NAFTA, too much power is being given to corporations. There have been cases where companies have sued the governments of the USA, Canada, and Mexico for placing restrictions on the sale of gasoline with harmful additives, as it hindered their business. Under the trade agreement, they had a legitimate claim, yet people can potentially suffer for it. Political Process - We are straying far from the ideals of democracy. The 2 party system is seriously flawed, and I think that's pretty much a given for most people reading this. It's sad when you can't vote for the people you really want because it would be 'like throwing your vote away'. Instead, you get to strategically plan to vote for others so you can simply reduce the chance to win for those you dislike! QFT Health Care - Socialized healthcare can be done. France has one of the best national healthcare systems in the world, but can we pull it off? I'm not so sure, but I'd like to give it a try. There are flaws with any healthcare system, including those run by the governments of various nations, but at the moment there are a lot more people needing help than getting it, and we can't allow that. National Security - Let's become a bit more isolationist. Not to some crazy extent, but let's focus on the homeland. Illegal Immigration - A huge problem. The economic impacts can be devastating. As Soma said, target those hiring undocumented workers. Note: Building a wall is not the answer, and is quite possibly one of the dumbest ideas I've heard. Slow people down? Maybe, but it's not an impenetrable barrier, and will be shorter than the length of the border. Stem Cells Research - Not embryonic stem cells. Any other kind that doesn't result from the destruction of a potential fetus, go for it. Social Security - Fix it, don't privatize it.

    Xbox 360

    Call of Duty 4 owns all. I even stopped playing Halo 3 because of it. Assassin's Creed is a great game, but can get repetitive, so I'd suggest renting if you're looking at trying it. I just got Mass Effect, and it looks pretty great so far. Overall: Get Call of Duty 4, and play no other game ever. Ever. Edit: My Xbox live name is Patriot X see ya there!
  23. That was hilarious. I think it's more like if "WW2 was an RTS". "T0J0: wtf is nukes? T0J0: holy sh*tholysh*thoylshti!!!111 *T0J0 has been eliminated.* " awesome.
