Maybe its.....The Happening! Also, I didnt know Shyamalan produced The Last Airbender. I loved that cartoon and watched the entire series.

Yeah, but what we have to remember is that were just the vocal minority. Whats the old saying, for every roach you see there are 100 you dont see. Thats us, were the roaches. For every poster you see there are 100 that dont post/care. Add up every poster on every Fallout board and what do you have? Maybe 300 active posters? And FO sold MILLIONS of copies. So, at the end of the day, while it appears a large group of us are in agreement the end result is far different.

Wow, you guys are piling the self righteous BS knee deep in here. -
Got my new main hand weapon. I like the new Armory layout too.

Ive often thought of that too but usually when a near miss goes in my favor. Good luck GD and hopefully you can retire/take it easy off the settlement.

I dunno, food and housing are pretty essential to life. -

My objections to UHC is not that people will get healhcare, its that Ill be on the hook to pay for it. While I can appreciate the beauty that each special snowflake of a person brings to the table, its just not my problem to make sure John Smith get medical insurance, its John Smiths problem. Its almost certainly a culteral thing where social programs that hold your hand from cradle to grave are the norm on your side of the Atlantic even moreso than here. Im curious where you would draw the line. Should everything be free IYO? Should that bum on the corner get a free house? No? Why not? Same stuff, different name. Food should be free to right? Everyones gotta eat after all. Theres programs for: Medical Dental Unemployment Drug use College Housing (?) Push come to should, could you literally live you life free of charge in the UK if you work the system enough? -
Whaaaaaa? $200.00 a week comes to $3,200.00 over the course of a 16 week season? Thats gotta be a misprint, you can make more at McDonalds. At that rate he would have to play for 31.25 seasons just to pay off the freaking Humane Society "donation", or as I like to call it, extortion.

1) People who dont have private healthcare dont have it because they cant afford it. Now you want to force them to afford it? I doubt too many people are uninsured because they cant be arsed. 2) Huh? Worrying is free. -

How else would it be financed? Thats why countries with socialist programs pay upwards of 60% taxes. Point a) Americans spends as much tax money per capita on healthcare as the 'socialist' (lol) democracies (mainly Scandinavia) anyway,so moot point. Point b) Australia spends less tax money per capita on healthcare than America and has roughly the same taxation level, so again, moot point. a UHS implementation in the US will result in a dramatic increase in my taxes to pay for it. No it won't. Oh, okay, since you say so.... Meanwhile, why dont you review this article on Wisconsin's UHC system from two years ago. -

Regardless of what happens in Scandinavia and Australia (lol), a UHS implementation in the US will result in a dramatic increase in my taxes to pay for it. -

Where half or better of the monies I earned to take care of MY family are taken away from me without choice to pay for some other schlub? No thanks. -

MC, I know you have a vested interest and I dont mean this to belittle the situation you went through but again, why is that my problem? I can link you to hundreds of sad cases and while I agree they are sad that doesnt mean I want to take away from my family to raise your family (not you). Yay, nice cheap shot. 1) Who cant afford school K-12? Its free. 2) You do pay for fire departments in your State/city taxes. 3) The same Social Security you pay into with the expectation of getting your money back when you retire? 4) Both. Not only can we not affors to pay for 300+ million people I dont feel I should be forced to. -

*sigh* This is just another pile of deadbeats Ill have to flip the bill for. Repeat after me, its not my responsibility to raise your sorry ass. As an aside, I do find the mentality of different countries interesting. Those of you born and raised in that type of environment eat it up like candy and are always the first to find reason why you should support others. Very touching. I wonder if its a byproduct of two world wars. -
Made Champion of Undercity at the Argent Tournament and slew the Black Night for the "Its just a flesh wound" achievement, which made me lol. In two more days Ill have enough to buy a kickass new epic dagger from the Undercity quartermaster.

Hmm, sounds BG-ish with its global reputation.

Weve all heard the "dur, we ran out of zots" party line. I dunno man, it just seems like more and more is being sacrificed on the altar of making money. Im not just talking about little stuff either, how does an OS wiping uninstaller ever make it out the door? Seriously, not one person uninstalled the game before it shipped? C'mon.

Heh, isnt that par for the course now? NWN, NWN2, Oblivion, FO3, Gothis, etc, etc.... Its almost a business model now, lol. Just chug it out the door and let the customers fix it. The part that totally blew my mind was when somehow the fixes in NWN never made it over to NWN2 because they got an "early build". If only they would have had the ability to go to the vault and download stuff.
