I don't believe Bush lied. Consider this for a moment. The UN Security Council unanimously for 12 years blasts Iraq for violating UN resolutions. We know they had WMD before 1991. We know Saddam admitted to using WMD on his people, and threatening to use WMD on the US. We know he had ties with Al Quaeda to develop further WMD in Sudan. Democrats who hate Bush all admitted that all our intelligence pointed to Iraq's refusal to comply with the UN, and their desire to attack the US. Bush didn't make that up. In fact, Russia's Putin, who is against the war, admitted to having intel that Iraq had the means to, and planned to attack the US. Bush uses diplomacy for two years. In the mean time we see caravans leave Baghdad for Syria. We find empty labs in Iraq. Is it more likely that the WMD left the country, or never existed despite the intelligence communities of several countries all swearing they had them to begin with? Especially when Iraq had storage facilities and training procedures for WMD. I understand that most people only see big headlines. No huge stockpile was found. Do you understand that all it takes is a suitcase worth of biological weapons to level a city, or one suitcase nuke? And while it is highly unlikely (read, near impossible) that Iraq could develop a nuke, they could acquire one. If Bush is saying the same thing the CIA said for 12 years, China said for 12 years, India said for 12 years, England said for 12 years, Canada said for 12 years, etc. then how is that him suddenly making up a lie to suit his whim? It doesn't make any sense at all. It is merely a smoke-screen that anti-Bush people throw up. Like I keep saying, bring up a legitimate anti-Bush comment and I will agree with it. Bring up lies, and I will expose them as such.

I for one wasn't aware.

Battle Meditation is in the Tales of the Jedi sourcebook. If that website didn't have rules for it, then I can hunt it down.

I will see the movie. And I'm familiar with everything Moore said about Bush leading up to the movie. It was a bunch of lies before. During Moore's acceptance speech he said Bush made up these lies about WMD to invade a country and steal oil. Hrmm. Bush made up the WMD? Yeah. The same WMD that the Democrats were harping about during Clinton's reign. Bush retroactively made them up. And we're not stealing oil, nor is this war about economics. It's a very expensive war, where we're dumping US dollars into Iraq. And now Moore has pulled a 180 on certain stances. Where has Bush used propoganda and lies? Please demonstate. I can point out time and time again when Moore has. And I'm not Republican. I just check facts. Responsible Democrats blast Bush for different reasons. They don't stand behind Moore's ridiculous claims. It's sensationalism, and I'm sorry that you fell for it. If you really love this country, then you owe it to yourself to do some serious fact-checking and try to be objective. This isn't about you and me, or any such debate.

Secretly I'm working on Fallout 3. Don't tell anyone.

Even more than that to start. I believe true equality is not drawing racial lines, but programs like Affirmative Action need to be directed to Native Americans as a temporary band-aid. Their education system is so shot. We need to give them land, and schools.

It's Boba Fett syndrome all over again. When people found out that Fett wore Mandalorian armor, everyone loved Mandalorians despite knowing zero about them.

I need to go over to Interplay's forums and kiss up so I can be a FOOL beta-tester.

Ender buys Hades cookies as a peace offering... ...and then steals all his milk!

That's something that needs more public exposure. Native Americans in this country need more rights.

I'm purebred Irish, but raised by an Italian step-family. So I can drink people under the table, and cook!

Never been up to South Dakota. I do want to visit the Black Hills someday.

Especially Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance! With the multiplayer that game roxXor3d! Total pwnage on P:T!

ooooh.... Irish Women....

Council-Tuckey. The only part of Iowa I like is Des Moines. I've seen show Broadway shows there (Rent recently). The capital is quite pretty, and the bridges through the city are nifty. Too bad the streets don't make any damn sense. The rest of Iowa is pretty scary.

Left-handed people tend to be more creative, and less logic oriented. And since they are such a small minority, some people consider them to be "deviant"

I work in Iowa as well. I understand the hell comment. Thankly I can retreat back into the same confines of Omaha.

Hades, Do you work in a post office? Do you own any guns? Do you wear a trenchcoat? I'm just curious.

Well, that was the thinking of the time. I find it silly. When I found myself bowling and playing baseball left-handed, she admitted to me what happened. Then I tried to switch back. Throw in extreme dyslexia, and I became a very confused kid. So, I resorted back to being right-handed, because I was now more accustomed to it.

Okay. I'm running a LARP game out in California and a werewolf player comes out of the Umbra, and "pops" into the Cab of a semi in his werewolf "crinos" form. He's like 10 feet tall. The driver of the truck managed to shoot the werewolf. In LARP, you use abilitites to "retest" outcomes. He wanted to use a Dodge retest, which was clearly in the rules. I refused. I said you're 10 foot tall, sitting on the dude in the cab of a truck. Where are you going to dodge? The player acquised, and the game went on. Story and having fun trump rules. Catering to Hades frustration trumps threads.

My mother actually slapped me as a child until I used my right hand. Dr. Spock's book on child-rearing suggests this method of raising proper right-handed kids. Yet, I would contend that historically and today, being a Lesbian has been far more acceptable than being a gay man.

Never go in with a Sicilian when Death is on the line!

Hades hates Christmas.

Apparently rules and statistics are more "fun" than say, storyline?

Bush is a Yale grad, holding a Master's degree and Moore's documentary is propoganda and lies. I wouldn't really want to call it a documentary. Now if you want to call Bush stupid because he supports CAFTA, or wants to integrate religious views into the Constitution, that's another story.
