Yeah I hear you about the legal dichotomy between the Fed and state laws that exists in some cases I was watching a documentary on CNN about the states that have legalised Marijuana and how this has created huge amounts of revenue and is very profitable but because the Federal government still considers Marijuana an illegal drug they wont allow the various weed shops to deposit any money directly, generated from weed sales, into banks and people have to pay for the stock with cash. So the owners of these shops normally always have huge amounts of money on there premises which they have to probably keep "under there mattresses " Its a weird legal issue that exists because of the fact that various states have legalised something the Fed considers illegal Personally whenever the states defy the federal government I have a big smile on my face. This country was founded as a union of sovereign states. We've lost that along the way and it's something we need to get back at least in some measure. So whether it's gay marriage, marijuana, whatever, right or wrong it erodes the power of the federal leviathan and that is only a good thing.

I gleaned 2 things from this photo, Calax like battle tech whatever that is, and don't mess with his cat!

I don't think I could ever do that job. You teach us stuff all the time! I was working a job last year planning and installing wi-fi in public schools here in TN, mostly middle schools, and I think it is something of a minor miracle when all of these kids actually find their way to their next class and their teacher manages to hold their attention for the full 50 minutes. I don't know how much they are paying you but it ain't enough.

You guys realize I was talking about rabbits right? My dogs have less than zero chance of ever being eaten. Heck if food was scarce I'd feed them before I fed myself. I was talking about the last two rabbits. I started raising rabbits for food but my wife got attached to them and now the last two are named Poundcake and Bunny and if I ever even considered cooking them I'd need a divorce lawyer. No, they are destined to dies of old age and I'm destined to net get any fried rabbit. But that's ok.

I don't think I could ever do that job.

We could really start privilege checking by how the social justice warriors are all about bringing up and dominating the discussion with white people's problems. Do SJW really bring up only white peoples problems, I always though the movement was much broader than that and included minorities ? Mostly seems to be about white people minorities. And women, who somehow manage to pass themselves as a minority, even though they're actually a majority. But, to get back on track, was assisting at a police hearing and flirted shamelessly (back and forth) with the cute recently-moved-to-the-area female cop. I THINK that my client was too distraught to notice. My **** is going to get me in serious trouble one of these days. Hey you are a young healthy male. That's like getting mad at a compass for pointing north!

No one in this country votes for who they like, we vote for who we hate the least. Amen!

I remember I once killed Firkraag in BG2 on the first hit with Quivering Palm. I wonder what then odds of that were?

You know my only beef with Skyrim was the unmodded Dragons were a bit too easy. I watched from a mountain top while a group of Bandits in Silent Stones took down a dragon. Why the heck does Skyrim need ME to save it? Then I downloaded the Deadly Dragons mod. Now you need to pack a lunch to fight them. Glad to see DA:I is doing that part right.

The Rays traded a reliable LHP Cesar Ramos to the Angels for AA prospect Mark Sappington. I'd never heard of him but from what I read on MiLB.com it sounds like a good deal for the Rays.

In other news an 18 year old college freshman was elected to the West Virginia state house: http://washington.cbslocal.com/2014/11/05/18-year-old-freshman-elected-to-w-va-house-of-delegates-becomes-youngest-state-lawmaker-in-us/ Also New York voters (New York is like mecca for democrats) rejected a low key democrat in favor of a Republican under indictment for fraud. He may not even complete his term in office if he ends up doing prison time. http://takingnote.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/11/05/new-york-city-elects-a-republican-under-federal-indictment/?_r=0 I guess that is just two more examples of how out of favor the democrats are.

Pick a lane Shady you're all over the road!

I've got to visit the Scandinavian countries someday. Or anywhere in Europe for that matter. I've been to many places in east Asia, Central America, and even Africa but haven't been anywhere in Europe or Australia yet. Seeing the pics you guys post and hearing you guys talk about it makes me want to go.

Reads to me like a victory for the libertarian wing of the GOP. Let's hope

A picture is worth 1000 words... here is two of them US House Election 2008: US House Election 2014: Congratulations Barack! You have accomplished on thing the Republicans never could: Resurrected their brand!

Bruce, after all the political discussions we've had over the years is it really surprising to you that I would vote against the President and his agenda in any national election? Do you really need me to go over the reasons why... again? But, remember one thing; and If I could tell the Republican leadership anything it would be this: Hating the Democrats is not the same thing as loving the Republicans. They have a golden opportunity here they did nothing to deserve other than be the lesser of two evils. If they use that opportunity to promote smaller, more responsible government, champion personal liberty and freedom, and check Obama's dumber ideas and destructive impulses they can begin rebuilding their brand. In short, they need to listen to the libertarian caucus within their ranks. The they go out and become Democrat-lite, or empower the neo-con factions or the religious right factions or just fall apart due to infighting then they will be gone in two years. I hope they are up to the task but nothing about McConnell and Boehner's history suggests they are. We'll see.

We had four. I voted for three of them. I voted for Lamar Alexander because control of the Senate is very important.

Republicans will have the majority in both houses of Congress next year. Thank God, Barack Obama is finally neutralized. He can still do damage but his power is significantly reduced.

I voted. And I wager many of you would disapprove of my choices.... tough titty!

Show me a sith who uses that thing and I'll show you one with missing fingers!

Maybe that's why I completely lost interest in this show after the Peter Davidson era. I've tried watching it recently a few times but... meh

It just means I'm always a little behind. You guys were well into Skyrim while I was just starting Oblivion. Now everyone is done with Civ 5 but I just got it. Besides, it might (unlikely) end up being a total dud (like Rome TW II) in which cease I'll be happy to have missed it. But, DA is Bioware's baby. I suspect they are going to get this right.

Actually EA doesn't seem to be selling Ultimate Editions anymore(or at least I couldn't find them for ME2 or 3). Also the engine isn't mod friendly, so you may be disappointed on that front. I didn't know that. I bought DA1 (which was the last Bioware game I've bought) as an all-in-one. But I guess it has been awhile since they made that.

Nah. If they buy it they buy it. If they don't they don't. I'm just a consultant. My paycheck is the same either way.

Well, I'm buying it but I'm going to wait a year or so until all the digital content is released. Then with they come out with the Gold, platinum, whatever edition I'll get it. I HATE buying stuff piecemeal. I did that with Civ 5 (which I just bought) & Skyrim and I'm convinced that's the way to go, Besides, it will have been patched a few times by then and have a nice crop of mods too. Plus that will give me plenty of time to see what y'all think of it.
