That would be a good start. But only a start. The leviathan on the Potomac needs to have it's fangs pulled in a more meaningful way than just repealing the patriot act. I'd like to see HCA (Obamacare) gone, and real tax reform coupled with the dissolution of the IRS (or a least a serious reduction in it's size and capabilities). Once that is done let get some justices on 1st Street who actually respect the 10th amendment and maybe we can roll back some of this trash. I'd also love to see Term Limits on Congress too.

This is a great subject to talk about because with the IRS ruthlessly hunting down every PAC that even SOUNDS like it's against Obama, outspoken critics of the President being routinely audited, Freedom of Information requests being denied left and right by the administration, subpoenaed information and e-mail being destroyed, then lying about how it happened. There is no debate that there is an active effort to suppress freedom of speech and information in the US right now. It started under Nixon, abated under Ford, Carter, Regan, and Bush I. It picked up again under Clinton, went into overdrive under Bush II and into turbo under Obama. But I'm sorry Oby, your premise for starting this thread and the links you posted (the ones that actually worked) are crap

With the Rockets and Spurs still nipping their hind leg fur the Grizz are holding tight to the division lead and the 2 seed. But they have a busy week coming. First Portland, then all the way to New York to take on the Knicks ( a trap game if I ever saw one) then home for Cleveland, no easy task there, then the Warriors are in town, then down to San Antonio and Sacramento the next day. Six games in eight days including 2 road trips. We're going to get tickets to either the Cavs or Warriors game.

That is the best description of Dragon Age I've ever seen. The only thing, and I do mean the ONLY thing that kept my interest in that game up long enough to reach it's predictable ending was that I named the War Hound companion after my dog.

We did tell you to not preorder lol. But I think you can ask it back from them if you really want to. Contact their support. Nah, I'll stick with it. If it sucks it will hardly be the first one I've ever bought that did (Master or Orion III, HOMM 4, I could go on)

No but you will use the hell out of what people like me can DO with it. NWN proved that

If the rumors are true those walls will remind you of Fallout 4 too.

Wow. Two threads on this game huh?

Not liking everything I'm seeing (or reading on their board). The comment about making it accessible to non hardcore RPG players was a definite turn off. Still nothing about any kind of toolset too. I think I want my money back. Too late I know.

But will you use them for good or evil? We'll have to wait and see.

In the short term I can't imagine the relationship between Netanyahu and the Obama admin could get much worse. There has always been more than a little anti-Israel bias in Obamas dealings in the middle east. From what I was reading in The Atlantic & the Washington Post many Israeli voters don't believe the Obama admin is committed to their security. I can't really blame them. I hear you but I think this is an unfair characterization of the efforts that the Obama administration has put into Israel and Palestinians. Firstly the USA has always been committed to the security of Israel, meaning if Israel was attacked they would defend it ( not that this likely) The point of contention is that the USA has never changed its view on what it expected from Israel, the two state solution was always what was deemed the best outcome for peace in the region So its bizarre that some Israelis would think Obama isn't committed to security..because the two state solution is in fact the best way ensure security in the long term Israel is attacked almost every day in some way. just because it isn't by uniformed soldiers of a foreign nation does not make it less real. And if a free Palestinian state were to magically appear this very minute nothing will change. Even if the people of the region we willing to live side by side in peace (certainly not something in evidence now) the governments of Iran, Egypt, and even Saudi Arabia (if the truth be told) are heavily invested in arming and antagonizing a Palestinian insurgency. That whole region is a mess.

Wow UAB knocks off Iowa State, Georgia St knocks out Baylor, Texas is out (dammit man I was sure they would make a run) and Ohio State has it's hands full with VCU. All the sudden my bracket isn't looking so good.

Wow Raithe this has been a bad time for you. Our thoughts are with you.

Best therapy I can think of.

Obama has already threatened to shoot down Israeli jets. I can't imagine how. Unless he decides to invade Israel. Now wouldn't THAT be a torch in the hay barn?

Wow, so you don't know any gay people or many Russians....you haven't traveled far down the path of multiculturalism have you GD ? Ah you are misquoting me sir. I seem to remember I said "I'm sure I've met many gay people, just never knew it". With the exception of the more... flamboyant ones shall we say, gay folks look just like everyone else. As for Russians, well they are hard to find here along the mighty Mississippi.

Thank you Sir! Two weeks ago I had no idea what a Soil, Water, and Resource Engineer even did. In two more weeks I'll be seeing first hand.

It's been an amazing 48 hours. I received a call from the man I interviewed with at the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation a few weeks ago. I never expected to hear from them again because, to be honest, I didn't think I was remotely qualified for what they needed. They called me Monday evening to ask if I'd be interested in a second meeting. I met with them yesterday and today they made an offer. Which I gratefully accepted. It's not a lot of money, to be sure. But it is a radical departure from anything I've ever done. I'm really looking forward to the new challenge. I guess it never hurts to think outside the box where your career is concerned.

Wait... Volo is giving ME grief for spamming a thread? Besides, the NBA is sort of in a grind right now and this is the only hoops thread we have. Now then, who else is going to take a shot and fill out a bracket? Tell you what, whoever gets the closest gets a free copy of PoE. What do you say?

The last ruleset I really learned was 2E. Always has been my favorite. Of course I was in high school and actually had time to do things like D&D and friends to do it with.

I've only know one person who actually was Russian by birth. He was an engineer I worked with about 15 years ago. He didn't have anything nice to say about Russia, that's for sure.

I just realized I have the four 1 seeds in the Final 4. Well, one thing about this season, the difference between 1 & 2 has never been greater. I think Wyoming & UCLA are the two teams that will screw everyone up.

Bracket time folks! Here is mine: If you want to try your hand at is you can get them here: http://www.printyourbrackets.com/fillable-ncaa-tournament-bracket.html
