I did and that attitude thing didn't do anything, lucky for me that every **** cop seems to be paired with the nicest one on the precinct.

For equity crowdfunding. Not all crowdfunding. It has nothing to do with the recent trend of video game Kickstarters. It's also only a proposal, they've got a lot of work left to do on it before it becomes a reality. At any rate I'm going to start learning chemistry for if it passes I'm going full on Ted Kaczynski.

UK Muslims targeted for speaking out about terror

By that logic, shouldn't we be integrating into the culture of several immigrant groups? Usually when cultures clash changes occur to both, otherwise why the hell we celebrate Cinco de Mayo? Because we really like Mayonnaise? -
The good thing about that mask is that it will be useful when you're shaking down gasoline from honest settlers on a post apocalyptic wasteland.

The average value of a 4-year degree is increased earnings income of $900,000, almost a million dollars, compared to a high school education. I think that's worth the investment. Admittedly educational costs are far outstripping inflation so it makes it tougher. Last time I checked ed costs were one of the fastest risers. The flip side is ed loans are low interest. (Correction: I double checked and they aren't as low as I remember. Fed student loans run 3.86 to 6+% now. My loan rates were considerably lower. So things are tougher) Usually you don't have to start repayment until after you graduate and you have a 6 month window to start, assuming that you do not interrupt your schooling. I think it still works that way. I know the squeeze though. I had fed and state loans to pay off and the state loans required repayment immediately on graduation. Which meant I was paying them off while I was in grad school. OUCH! So yeah I understand the pain. Yeah compound interest is a bitch. Sometimes the solution is to go without until you can really afford something. yeah that's harsh. I'll be blunt - I have absolutely no sympathy for someone complaining about how paying interest on something is stretching their budget. If you can't really afford it, don't buy it. After all, you did mention items over 7 grand and I hardly would classify things in that range as essentials. Okay, income disparity is fair game. I totally agree with two issues. (1) Increased worker productivity has not found it's way into regular incomes - that profit has increasingly been retained at the corporate level without proportionate increases in hiring or income. (2) The % share of wealth held by various income groups has become decidedly skewed towards the 1%. I have to admit that part of me says so effing what? Isn't that part of what is so great about the US? Being able up with a fantastic freaking idea and making a bloody fortune? Like Facebook? On the flip side, I do wonder why there is a cap on income for paying social security and medicare taxes. Oh I understand why it's there - I just don't think it should be. There are just two things that should be added to your analysis: Outsourcing has eliminated a lot of low level entry jobs as well as moved entire fields to other countries and now people are just working harder to be able to keep their jobs rather than make progress. Students take the worst of it since they are trying to enter industries which requires them to have experience which they are unable to gain as the jobs are simply not there. Markets have been consolidating for some time, with just a few emergent global markets remaining and an industry that's monopolized by mega-corporations. I doubt that a small business can break into a market that's dominated by a corporate entity, that would be a remarkable feat of the likes of David defeating Goliath. Mark Zuckerberg is likely to be one of the few people who can take an idea and create a market out of it because he created something new. I would say that in order to break into an established market you'd have to be either extremely wealthy, extremely smart or extremely lucky. With the level of education that we see in the US I guess that just leaves the wealthy.

They managed to do a decent Hack and Slash with Spartan Total Warrior and Viking. May surmise that your anger stems from the bugs in Total War: Rome 2?

UK Muslims targeted for speaking out about terror
Orogun01 replied to Walsingham's topic in Way Off-Topic
After your previous diatribe towards me for failing to answer your question in a different thread, I find this response positively hilarious. I'll take your answer as a "no." Lets go on a journey with this. Is it safe to say that you are a contributor to the "failure of multiculturalism?" What do you want, for me to learn a foreign language while I live in the states? Which one? Ok, I want to learn Japanese. Happy? If you did you'd find the difficulties of learning another language, add to that the age and level of intelligence of some immigrants and not everyone can speak fluent English. Which is why many stay within their communities on which they share a common language with the rest. I would agree that mastery of the English language should be a requisite for some jobs, but then there are the people complaining about bilingual tests or when their cashier or [insert menial labor here] doesn't speak the language. It is not their desire as am sure that they would like to be fluent but have not knowledge required, so at the very least I would expect a little empathy. Even though it is something difficult for most Americans to imagine. (The immigrant experience part not the empathy...although they may have some trouble with the empathy part too) -
Is she working on visual novels or interactive movies?

I don't think anyone expects the police to do their job without harming anybody, but unless this is 2000 AD and they are judge, jury and executioner their main priority should be to make an arrest and uses of deadly force should be used with extreme prejudice. IIRC that's the law on most states and most of the cases presented here show little to no prejudice. The other thing is that the officers lied on their report about the circumstances leading up to the shooting saying that the victim "charged at him and his partner with a knife". I can only wonder at how many justified shootings by police officers are actually justified.

Maybe that will change with the Occulus Rift but I'm fairly certain that implementing real FOV, Depth of View and Head tracking on current systems would be a pain in the ass.

And how is that compatible with free speech? (open question) Most courts agree that freedom of speech only extends so far as when it harms living beings, or the government. Thus the old shouting fire in a theater metaphor. -

Have you thought about sending them to Ireland? They can trade tips with IRA until they both blow themselves up due to religious differences, what with them being Muslim and the Irish being drunk. -
Why? Its her fault for having ****ty interests.
