We have bunnies in our yard. One of them is completely fearless and will leap at you like something out of Monty Python. They scare off the wild cats whenever they are let out. They really do have (razor sharp) big pointy teeth and can draw blood effortlessly.
-
Don't go onto it blind I guess. If you are considering throwing a lot of money into it you should know everything you can find out about how it works and what the pitfalls are. It would be really stupid to lose money AND a friendship because you didn't have that information.

My feeling is if there is nothing at stake then nothing matters. If you can only die by losing your whole party and then have to reload, that is pretty close to having nothing at stake. -
I just hope we forego the usual immortal joinable NPCs who have important dialouge down the line. Just as bad IMHO. Neverwinter nigths 2 handled all this pretty horribly. Matter of fact I don't think it was possible to lose any party members except in special cirumstances.

mmm I bet it repels the ladies as well.

Found the Event Horizon.
-
Serenity is a tiny transport. I bet there is no Millenium Falcon either. But : No Sajuuk, Bentus or Kushan ?. How could you have bloody Halo ships and no Homeworld ships. http://homeworld.wikia.com/wiki/Kushan_Mothership Event Horizon ?

Welfare costs money, so really the most important long term welfare policy is to ensure that the economy is sound. It is entirely possible to have a booming economy as well as a relatively large ammount of redistribution, but not if you keep spending money you don't have.

A trillion a year for ten years, or a trillion for ten years of healthcare. The difference is rather extreme.
-
It won't let me post just the numbers. Realistically you would have to raise taxes though. Is that trillion dollar cost genuine or is that part of the debate as well.
-
What what. You could pay for UHC six times with the defence budget. That's what. I reiterate my point about priorities.
-
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. http://www.usgovernmentspending.com/us_defense_spending_30.html So. a trillion is a million million dollars, A billion, which is what the indexed numers are I believe, is 1000 million. There are 6,360.5 of those in the defence budget. What am I missing ?
-
That and your system, administration, mindset etc is just not geared to a European model.. No matter how much we wanna pimp it It's more about priorities. Manly things like tanks and aircraft carriers will get funded before bums who can't afford to take care of themselves. The money is there.
-
Why not just take it out of taxes. The NHS is a much better system than ours and they pay less taxes so they must be doing something right. Have an aircraft carrier or three less. It will get you into less trouble as well.
-
Didn't Uwe Boll get turned down for that. I predict an epic train wreck.
-
Hero worship is a weird thing. Anywho, the US killed a cataclysmic number of people with their bombing campaigns and all for a lost cause. I think history proved her right in doing whatever she could. Did she get played by the NW also, sure. It took conviction though.
-
There is going to be a Reagan movie ?. luls.
-
Or is it a contraction of a pronoun and an adveribial.
-
That's a pretty interesting series, although I'm a bit leery of photographers who take a lot pictures of the 'bottom rung' of society. There is sort of an unspoken exploitation going on. It's not bumfights, but there is a tiny bit of the same vibe to it.
-
wow
-
I remember you.
-
I've often wondered how I would fare if I were forced to do some heroing. Imagine you had to intercede to save a life, putting your own at risk. Would you be up for the challenge.
-
It's about moving out on your own without the safetynet of your parents, about facing the world alone for the first time and being afraid. even though that happened a long time ago. Memory isn't linear, that's why people keep childhood trauma for life. You're wellcome.
