    At least do me the solid of having your facts straight instead of trying to score internet points by bashing the US. The most recent aircraft carrier, the USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77), "only" costs 6.2 billion to manufacture. Or about .62% the cost of the TRILLION dollar UHC. We could scrap the entire fleet and still not pay for this.

    That and your system, administration, mindset etc is just not geared to a European model.. No matter how much we wanna pimp it True. Im always a bit surprised when people assume that because it works in little countries, it will work in big countries. It takes you guys the highest tax rates in the world just to be able to provide for ~6 million people, and that's only half the population of Illinois alone. As a wise man once said: "We contend that for a nation to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle."

    Or maybe 250 million less population?

    *sigh* Obamacare only transfers the cost from those that cant pay to those that are being forced to pay for them. It does not change where you go for medical attention. @JFSOCC: Being that you live in a country that offers free university, could you then get in on that once you complete your HS equivalency exam?

    Not unless its an AK-47.

    I don't know about today, but back in the day there were different physical tests for males and females (Navy), with the female test being less rigorous. Not that you need to be in great shape for the Navy anyway. Probably the same for most branches.

    Anyone else watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine? I missed the first episode but the second was on last night and got a few chuckles out of me.

    A variant of scenario 2 is already in the game:

    Huh, thanks.

    Isnt it down to the three of you now (you, mom, dad)? Are your parents really haggling with you over that?

    Wait, there is an alternate ending to the movie Scarface? Spoil me. The ending I know is where he introduces everyone to his little friend and winds up floating face down in his fountain. Whats the alternate?

    Toggle BBCode mode (upper left hand corner button) and delete what you don't want.

    Wait, so someone broke into the car, didn't take anything, and just hung out to smoke cigarettes? Weird.

    Oh? That would explain things/seem more reasonable then. I didn't notice any option for that sort of thing but I also wasn't looking for it. Do you know if it's currently on the PC version or maybe it's something on the console? Maybe it's something akin to the /players8 of D2. Altho having the top tier difficulty run-thru have an "easy" mode seems to kind of miss the point of having multiple re-play difficulties... Its on the PC version too and its called "Monster Power". You will find it at the bottom of the page when you select public games. Scales from 1 to 10 so most likely you are on the default difficulty of one.

    Where are you headed?

    Old age is full of the suck. I have / had an account at Bioware a long time ago but I too have never posted since they changed to having to own the game to be able to post. I was more referring to ye olden days. I think what happened is that the Interplay boards went belly up and I then registered here and the Lair.

    Congrats on the new ride Shady! Pretty nice.

    Wow. Long time, no see. Welcome back. Bregan is in my fantasy football league.

    I cant remember how I got here. The previous board closed or something? Can someone help a brother out here with a timeline?

    I guess for me its "wish fulfillment". I love starting out as some regular character and building them to fantastical power levels and abilities, wielding the best weapons and wearing the best armor. My kingdom to be able to become Ashen-Shugar / Tomas.

    I knew you could do it! That's why I didn't comment until the second one. Were not here to police every slap fight but I do try to keep the personal attacks to a minimum. I appreciate your understanding.

    Congrats on the pregnancy and I have my fingers crossed that everything works out. Now where the hell are the new kitchen pictures?
  24. Gfted1
    I had to look "reprobates" up.

    No doubt containing your rage is a terrible cross to bear, you should keep the cookie for your own comfort. Alternatively, you can also choose to not post if all you have to offer in reply to a subject is personal attacks.
