What drawbacks exactly, it's not like we are in danger of running out of holes in the ground. Moreover the next generation fission reactors are expected to make much better use of the fissile material and might even be able to use what is discarded now as fuel,

Neuclear energy is 'green', provided you can dig a hole deep enough for the spent fuel rods.

Never try to survive in the Amazon without one

haha noob.

There is a drop down card centered on the targeted enemy where you get your choice of attacks, ranged, mele and force powers, thats about it, other than that you have no control over the outcome. You don't aim guns or swing swords. It's a realtime with pause button deal.

I think it looks basic and functional, just the way I like it. Migth want to make the background a light gray perhaps.

Scandinavians have an exception to racism when it comes to other scandinavians, everyone knows that. Aslo, it used to be so much more fun when we had a better footie squad.

Kotor 2. All these abbreviations...

What is TSL ?

These global warming threads are a bit annying, noone has any real grasp of the science behind it, present company included, making it more of a linky to arcticles and sites contest.

Its like asking if black is a colour, yes and no. And in the less important department, while quoting and other php features now work for me, every time I use an apostrophe firefox spawns a seach window instead

He wasen't talking about home security.

The legacy of the European welfare states can be traced to the end of WW2 where people were used to an extreme level of goverment involvement, rationing, controling all elements of industry for the war effort etc. After victory the cohesive spirit remained and people started wondering if it wasen't possible to use just a fraction of the resources devoted to war to better people's lives, and even to move to an advanced level of society. Granted, it got out of hand some places with organised labour controling the economy and strangulating growth, but the mere notion that it is possible to build a better society is not a bad idea. Society should be ambitious, democratic and experimental in its organisation, just imho of course. America never suffered the extreme destruction and deathtoll of mainland Europe and anti communism meant that successive progressive movements such as 'new deal' and 'the great society' never really took hold.

Hating Fins, Swedes and Norweigians isen't racism, it's patriotism :D

Fins, where

We still hang onto the notion of a 'welfare state', in fact accusing the government of abandoning the ideal is one of the most powerful weapons of the opposition atm.

South Africa did the only sane thing in the situation and broke international law when it started making it's own AIDS drugs because whole generations were being lost and drug companies could only be convinced to offer a small discount that did not help make the drugs be affordable to everyone. Maybe thats what he's talking about. IF he is wondering why the same drugs cost more in the US than Canada, thats because the drug companies priced it that way, they don't spend anything greasing the politicians there so they have no leverage to sustain inflated prices.

That whole exchange has been changed to just 'spoon' or 'shoe' for brevity. I don't know how the shoe got in the equation.

Hypothetical question, would you swap your right to bear arms for a safer country where civilians didn't need to arm themselves for personal protection, there are many such countries in existence, or is this really about something else than safety.

Maybe it's 'Mine's', as in belonging to mine.

He spells like an 11 yearold.

Machettes are way cooler than that. Not only do they have a use other than eliminating christmas present wrapping, they are what special forces use.

A temple to Nurgle, the Warhammer god of pestilence, chaos, and backed up toilets.

Why don't you just raise taxes and provide universal healthcare like civilised countries.

Theres nothing wrong with these concerts if they help more than harm, raising money for food or development aid does more good than harm, Jamming about global warming is pretty pointless on the other hand.
