We can't help unless we know the system specs.

Come to Iowa in Late January/early February. :D

Ew.

You do have a point, I guess but if you get rid of the FDA and DHHS, deregulating what we have already, I can see it causing more problems because at that point there would be no accountability nor any controls of any kind against malpractice or corporations making dangerous drugs that can do more harm than good.

I liked Jane Eyre better.

Well, it is better than nothing that a good chunk of us have. When a kid dies due to a toothe ache because his mother can't afford to go to dentist or have insurance to cover it there is something seriously wrong with our society. Beyond that I do think that we do need to get back to our roots, back to the government as prescribed in the Constitution.

I think the Constitution needs to be expanded on issues of education and healthcare. The federal government, as well as the state governments, are responsible for the care and well being of its citizens first and foremost. A universal healthcare system that aids in the skyrocketing costs of medicine from the federal govenment is needed because the individual states just do not have the funds to do it themselves.

No more than we do now. The average household buys a lot of junk they just do not need.

There is no such thing as an unlisted wall. HAIL! PRESIDENT SCREWB!

I don't have a list. When I die, I die and till then I'm not dead. Its not like I am going to be able to reflect back on my life when I am dead.

Someone needs to make a Chibi mod for Neverwinter Nights 2. CHIBI NEESHKA!

I doubt there would be product placement on a rampant scale, at least no moreso than there is now.

Even if it is 20 to 30 cents to the dollar, think of the money saved by getting rid of the IRS. Also it would eliminate the hassle for both employers and employees in dealing with the tax season. If you don't want to pay taxes, you just don't buy stuff.

I think that we need a serious revamping of the tax system. I say we eliminate all current federal tax schemes and get rid of the IRS, and simply impose a federal sales tax. We are a consumer based society thusly all the money the government can ever need can be garnered through the purchasing of nonessentials. Think how much 300 million people spend in a given year. Now give that value a 2 to 5 cent tax on the dollar.

How is this not viable? If we left other countries alone, except for trade of course, and not interfere for the better or worse then we can simply focus on internal affairs and take care of our own people. If another country attacks us, or a terrorist group that is supported by a nation, we retaliate in kind with the full force of our military against that nation to break it and make sure that it cannot attack us again, then we go back minding our own business, not bothering others, except for exporting and importing goods, and not interfering with their internal politics. Such as we no longer give any foriegn aid to any nation as well as eliminate favored trade statuses for all nations and give them all the same and equal tariffs and taxes then no one nation can complain about favoritism. Also no one can claim that the US is partial to one nation over another, such as many Middle Eastern nations group us with Israel due to our support to that nation. Support that Israel no longer needs.

Nope. Not even in the 3.5e rules either.

This one? Yeah.

What if it was a woman?

Bards can't be lawful.

Those who attack us should be wiped from the planet, without remorse or mercy, then we go back minding our own business. If they minded their own store and not bother us then we should not bother them, but if they do decide to bother us then we make them pay with blood.

I do not understand the thrill of purposely jumping out of a plane with the vain hope that a piece of nylon mesh cloth will help you not go splat.

The real threat of having you, and everyone you know and your camel killed ain't exactly an environment which promotes feelings of safeness. Yes, I know, but that is why we should simply leave and let them have at it. If they can't be civilized enough to sort their own problems without the need of violence then why should we spend the resources, manpower, and our soldiers lives to force them to act civilized? I am so sick of the US poiking its nose in places it just does not belong.

Its all about sneak attacking people in the face with you, isn't it, Atriedes.

Glad to be here. I was always pretty active on the Insomniac boards -- and I think I'll miss it if I don't get my daily dose of fan interactions. Plus I can't miss any attempt to chat. I am compelled. That is good. We need more devs chatting here. :D
