I might have to start raiding just for that bear mount >.<

Dropping the Flag in a battleground will now result in a debuff that will not allow you to pick up the flag again for 3 seconds. : O Sorry rogues!

hypnotoad!

woot gratz guys!

haha, that desk is perfect for fitting that behemoth tower underneath it!

For reliability, I would suggest the Honda or Toyota. Dunno what kind of warranty you would get on the Saturn though... 16k for an Ion seems a bit much. There are a lot of older cars you can get in that price range, heck you could be driving a decent bimmer for that but it depends on how much you want to risk on maintenance and whatnot. My buddy bought a 93-ish corvette in pristine condition for about 15k, so finding something a little older and a lot nicer doesn't seem like too much of a stretch. Something like this maybe?

This is pretty much how I feel on this issue... I like the idea of conditional abortions, i.e. rape, the mother could die, and other extenuating circumstances. This is because I feel that if we totally legalize it, people will just take it to an obscene level. Why take the pill / use a condom (barring STDs) when you can just vacuum that sucker out? The only problem is, how the hell do you enforce it? I guess you could have a case-by-case review to determine whether the person qualifies, but people will find a way to exploit it. Edit: Marijuana legalization - I know what you're saying about Big Tobacco Joe, but everybody is still perfectly free to go to the store, buy tobacco and rolling papers, and make their own cigs. Why couldn't marijuana be the same way?

Oh I def. think they should pay teachers more, as my mom is one : ] Yeah, we had access to AP classes and honors classes. AP was ok, but its success was largely dependent on the teacher - for example, my AP Physics teacher "learned" physics the summer previous to teaching our class. Our school couldn't afford to hire an actual physics teacher. My AP calc class was much better - it was actually much more difficult than the calc 1 I took in college 0_o. Honors classes still catered to the lowest common denominator it seemed. Stang - I don't know why more Republicans aren't pissed at our fiscal situation. I know I am. It flys in the face of traditional conservative ideology.

I fail to see why a person who has raped / murdered people deserves to live, siphoning off our tax dollars in the process. Letting them rot in jail doesn't seem like the best choice to me, especially when they stock jails with playstations (wtf, this is supposed to be punishment, amirite?). As far as jailing people that are innocent, I agree. Let the huge amount of people put in jail because of pot out. But how often are people given the death sentence for crimes they didn't commit? Surely advanced forensics have negated that, or so I hope... As far as fixing schools, I also agree. But I don't think such sweeping changes are going to be in the near future. It will take a lot of time. In the meantime, why not let our gifted children choose more advanced schools, so they don't get f(*ked by No Child Left Behind? I saw many smart kids languish in high school; it seems like the idea is to slow everything down so the stragglers can catch up, retarding and holding back the kids who actually want to learn in the process. For alternative energy, I mean things like wind farms, new nuke plants (hooray irrational fear), and devoting A LOT of funding to energy storage. We aren't going to be driving (convenient and fun-to-drive) electric cars until the issue of energy density is solved. I hadn't heard of the hydrogen producing nuke plants, I'll have to look into that.

I'm curious as to who everybody is pulling for in the '08 elections. I know it's really early to settle on somebody, so even listing a few selections is cool. I really don't want this to devolve into a political pissing match, so please keep any fervent hate for a particular candidate to yourself! (unless it's Hillary, j/k! omg but seriously people) As for myself, I'm really not sure at this point. (Ha!) The guy that I agree with most is Ron Paul, unfortunately he is a little insane and takes some things too far. Extreme isolation is a mistake, and going back to the gold standard sounds like a recipe for disaster. He's also made some interesting comments about "fleet footed" black criminals... >.< (although he claims those comments were from a ghost-written article). This might be the first time I support a Democrat... this last term with Bush has been pretty abysmal. With that said, does anybody have suggestions for me? Here are some criteria that I look for... - Supports decriminalization of marijuana (tax it people, get rid of the defecit! also, it would fix overcrowded jails! hooray!) - Supports stem cell research (and funding) - Supports alternative energy sources (and funding) - Supports vouchers for school choice (but more so for gifted students, if that makes sense) - Generally fiscally conservative - Supports death penalty Any other questions of opinion I can answer at request!

then you must have a permanent erection!

Never... even after countless petitions to GMs to let me change it.

well that took an unexpected turn

Joe, we aren't talking about illegal software... Nobody is trying to justify the legality of downloading music. However, the way the RIAA went about this lawsuit, and the extravagant amount of money they are extorting is sickening. Over 9 grand per song? Are you f(*king kidding me? For a song that would normally sell for a dollar... Yes, I understand that by sharing a song, it can be downloaded by many people. However, what they should have done is look at her time sharing, look at her bandwidth use over that time, and calculate how many songs she had the POTENTIAL to share. Not making some bullshit up and putting her in the poorhouse. Regardless, I'm sure she'll file bankruptcy and the RIAA won't get much of that money. I really want to see some data backing up the theory that file sharing is hurting the recording industry. Personally, since I started downloading music, I've purchased a TON more music that I ever did previously. It exposes me to bands I never would have heard of. Basically, if I like it enough, I buy it. If I don't, I don't listen to it. Judging from quotes the representative for the RIAA made during the trial, (too lazy to find a link), they really (and openly admit) that they have no idea how much file sharing has 'cost' them. They sue entirely on the grounds of copyright infringment... which is idiotic. I can't imagine how many people are going to stop buying music under the RIAA umbrella after this shitstorm. Also, there is plenty of good music out there that has nothing to do with the RIAA. Google 'RIAA Radar' and you can do a search to find out whether or not a particular band is under them.

Or you could all just listen to non-RIAA music. No reason to pump popular shit filth into your head.

I hope she finds Mr. 500K. Because you know somebody that makes that much isn't going to be stupid when it comes to marriage. He'll divorce her ass at 35 and she'll get jack shit, and with her looks going down the drain, good luck finding another rich playboy to satisfy your greed you dumb bitch.

I don't know, I thought it was pretty obvious.
