  1. It's all about your projected income versus what you actually made. If you get the same monthly wage all the time that's a pretty easy bit of math, if you income changes drastically however.... Fair to say I didn't know what I was doing and had nothing to pay with.
  2. I'll be damned if I know. They have the ability to garnish any type of income, I know because my mother is still having her pension reduced to pay off some type of debt. I seem to have lucked out somehow.
  3. Not a brooding amine hero in sight, I love it.
  4. Is that the RTS with no S in it
  5. I think it's useful to regard religion as the whole range of practices within it. What to the books themselves mean to anyone without interpretation, not much. The extremists obviously get more press, after all we are at war with them, but there are areas of the world where extremism is the norm.
  6. BTW, _I_ 'remember' Christian lynch mobs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4ZyuULy9zs That's what I'm sayin'. 60 odd years ago. Sabra and Chatila? Kosovo/ Bosnia? Jos? Northern Ireland? There've been plenty of times where christianity has been used as an excuse for murder as well. Does any of that violence come out of interpretation of scripture, does anyone call for killing people in the name of god. Northern Ireland I suppose is a clear religious and sectarian divide, but was that what we were trying to find. No, and no. None of those examples compare well with Islamic extremism. You have to go back a while to find any, and that was my point.
  7. that's pretty good, we need to have Ron Pealman say it though.
  8. Basically you just need to watch your position, don't get swarmed and don't step into any of their combos, other than that it's button mashing, but not as terrible as it sounds, there are force powers to use tactically.
  9. I like playing Barbie dress up in my RPGs. I dunno what else that makes me. I'm pretty sure I'm not gay, or I would have acted on it by now.
  10. More than 7000 euro
  11. They wouldn't be fundamentalists if they were able to.
  12. I just got a letter from the tax authorities an saying that they were gonna give up on collecting the 55.000 kr. I owe them. I guess the moral of the story is that if you owe, be a rotten bastard and reuse to pay, because time is on your side. This is great ****ing news, I need a drink.
  13. It's got **** all to do with religion. And everything to do with being a ****wit. BTW, _I_ 'remember' Christian lynch mobs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4ZyuULy9zs That's what I'm sayin'. 60 odd years ago. The mob came straight from friday prayer. Of course it's got something to do with religion. Some ****wit turning the situation to his own advantage and starting a riot, but isn't that always how it goes. Religion and practice go hand in hand, people want to relate it to their own lives and the situation they are in. Doesn't help that the papers are plastered with pictures of American GIs posing over dead civilian Afghans either.
  14. Islam you mean. Who can remember the last Christian lynch mob. That might not sound very diplomatic, but it's surely true.
  15. Considering how many times the UN has been attacked in the region I wonder why security didn't make a better showing of it. Apparently they were disarmed by protesters, although some of them were also killed. Maybe a couple of heavy machine guns on the roof doesn't send the right message, but it's better than this.
  16. Maybe then there will be time to make games better rather than just prettier. I dunno, still disappointed in those screens, they barely look current. But hey, look at DA2, there is a lot of that going around.
  17. Are we sure this is even a code, or just random symbols left to confound someone. It would have to be reasonably simple for easy recall in writing, he probably didn't re invent the wheel if it were a code.

    Libya

    If we had an ounce of stones left after Iraq and Afghanistan we would just get in there on the ground and finish this in a week, hand control over to the governing council, leave, Bob's your uncle.

    Music

    Shake it baby, that's one mean Koto player.
  20. Prostitution is legal in Copenhagen, where I live, but pimpin' isn't. You can't profit from someone else doing it.
  21. Happy b day. Damn, the Nigerian prostitutes are really getting annoying. They showed up about a week ago again and their pimp, he's got a cane and everything, is really pushing them hard. They will run up to you a whole pack of them at a time and describe in unnecessary detail all the X rated acts they would perform on you if you would accompany them to their hotel. You would think they would be able to remember your firm refusal on the same day and leave you alone, but no.
  22. I'm guessing blowing up a mass relay would require at least one dreadnought, if not an entire fleet, and the Council would never allow such a fleet to enter the Terminus systems since it would trigger an intergalatic war (and that's content saved for ME 5, 6 and 7). Well, as mentioned in Arrival, conventional wisdom is that mass relays are indestructable. The Mu relay from ME1 was blown out of its system by a supernova. That's not even half of it. See above. Apart from the fact that nobody but Cerberus and Shepard even perceive the Collectors as a problem. Indestructible plot devices. Lame. You should always try and construct the story and premise around the plausible, never mind that we are talking about far out sci fi tech.
  23. They built the damn things, you would think they would be able to find the on/of switch. Like how in ME2 humanity is being invaded through the mysterious omega relay that no one ever uses except the collectors. Why didn't someone think to blow the thing up. Invasion over.
  24. Also, a gentleman never runs. If I had to save my life to do it it would take some serious consideration. That, and the fact I'm tall and weigh probably entirely too much, and I have a bad tread, I sometime twist my ankle when running. You need to be small and lean in order for that mode of transport to be at all practical.
  25. Bruce Lee died of an overdose of painkillers he took to deal with a back injury that had him in constant pain, just sayin'
