  1. Genocided, and then attacked from the inside & outside constantly since 1948. And? Are they just being given miles of leeway because they're considered first world while Darfur is turned into a wasteland, the Congo suffers under a brutal dictatorship who are probably worse than the Nazi's and Kosovo, where the state-supported (who's leader was tried for war crimes no less) genocide was only stopped due to heafty military intervention, and then fell off the peoples radar? I'm sick and tired of having to tap dance around Israel because "Oh how we've suffered". If they're under imminent attack from six states, they should learn to deal with it on their own and try to place nice, rather than saber rattle and laugh before running to uncle sam.
  2. An argument could be made that the construction materials are humanitarian in that it gets people out of leanto's and tent slums. (In a side note, Sacramento used to have the worlds largest Tent city on it's eastern side until the city gvmnt decided to start finding ways to make that go away). And to a degree, Gaza, I think, might as well be considered helpless given that the best they seem to be able to muster is sporadic firing of rockets in the general direction of their opponent (meaning any direction but the sea). I mean when two countries go to war, and one controls total access in and out, generally the other is pretty screwed in terms of EVERYTHING. Particularly given that the Israeli version of "containment" means building a wall through Gaza territory for protection that ruins farms and they don't even pay for the land they used, and then they refuse to allow people who had been working normally in Israel to go to work through the checkpoints. Honestly if this were happening anywhere that wasn't "Woe is us, we got genocided 70 years ago" Israel, people would probably have imposed sanctions on Israel.
  3. I didn't mean narrow I meant short, my head is almost bumping into the roof.
  4. If they're within the 20km people wouldn't be having as much of a problem, but given they were WELL outside that boundary then it's like stopping a family vehicle at the end of your street with a four person family inside, to check it for guns because you don't want them to shoot up your garage.
  5. http://scrawlfx.com/2010/05/infamous-2-tea...t-issue-of-rops first look at infamous 2 in a Portuguese magazine.
  6. Just looked at a 323 from a pair of "flippers" I like the body style and engine, but it was to small for me and the guys who were "flipping" weren't exactly all that honest. One of my dads' co-workers races BMW's and we're probably going to ask him to find me a 3 series that we can look at. Unfortunately my parents are going to Iceland this week so urgh.
  7. I suppose I could run with a BMW. One of my friends in Iowa works as a mechanic so it'd probably be cheaper to maintain.
  8. I've been playing through, Only really at the beginning of the game (just did my first snake oil salesman quest). I do kinda want to try multiplayer, but don't have a headset for my PS3.
  9. Doesn't Israeli intelligence also qualify as a "terrorist organization" under mentioned logic?
  10. BROOKLYN RAGE!
  11. Saw the prince of persia movie, and then looked around on craigslist for cars... it's interesting what you find (A '09 camery for 2.8k? REALLY!?)
  12. I just started that... but I might end up doing PoP trilogy again on my PS2 (yes, I just finished watching the movie)
  13. From what I've heard about Beemers tho is that after some mileage they become maintenance hogs.
  14. Gotta admit, Modin's dialogue when you're romancing Garrus is funny as heck!
  15. That will limit you some. In fact you might want to stick with what you have until it dies, and try and save up a bit more. You can buy a used car at that price, but it won't be much better than what you have. If you can get to about 8-10k, you can pick up a decent used jeep or small truck that will be good in the weather and won't have 100,000 plus miles. I'd really look at the different types of jeeps, Cherokees, Wranglers, even the Liberty. Subarus are a bit pricier, at least used. What is your commute? Hobbies? How much bad weather driving are you anticipating? Probably won't be driving much, but basically 6 months of the year you're stuck in snow (this is Iowa). We saw an accord for about 4 grand. The big thing about mine is that the underside is hanging down and it sucks.
  16. I think around 3-4k for a used vehicle.
  17. I need a car that'll handle horrible weather (going to Iowa, gonna drive it there) and is fairly reliable. I've currently got a '96 camery with 190k miles on it and some surface damage if you're wondering (front right light and fender is busted, antenna no longer works/is mostly missing, and the undercarrige cover hangs about an inch and a half below the engine than it's supposed to). Anyway, Any suggestions?
  18. Hard part would be air combat. I think Shogun needed an update, or at least Asia needed to be revisited. Monte, you probably wouldn't like Empire. The actual battles got heavily simplified (line infantry spam + cannons = win), the campaign map had a few differences, but overall it seemed to loose something. Probably because Fortresses weren't as prevalent as previously, so taking a town seemed to amount more to "kill all the guys in there in a normal fight" than a siege.
  19. Basically you can play like Solid Snake then?
  20. IIRC navy wasn't that big a deal in the Sengoku period.
  21. I'm not sure, usually people don't tally their sales until after the pickups because (at least at gamestop) a pre-order is only a small deposit, doesn't mean that the person is actually going to pick up the game. I do know that most places are graded on preordering stuff.
  22. http://kotaku.com/5549865/china-rips-off-t...d-with-the-iped Looks like all that china manufacturing is creating competitors for Apple etc. A Chinese company rolled out with the "Iped" a tiny bit heavier than the Ipad and using slightly different parts/software, it's a complete knockoff.
  23. Did I miss something? Are you moving? Come to New Jersey. The State that's widely disputed to be the dump of the US?
  24. One estimate I heard was 1000 lbs per year you live in a place
