  1. Wrong. All it proves is that a significant number of people didn't care for Mitt Romney as a presidential candidate. Obama is tied heavily to this health care plan. Whether it was indifference or support that allowed him to win the election over Romney, it shows that the general public is not nearly as up in arms about it as many politicians are grandstanding about.
  2. What? There are third parties? *gasp* What the heck is an evangelical libertarian?
  3. Further evidence that Walsingham is an immortal.
  4. Extremism has nothing to do with religion. It is simply the tool extremists use to unlock the darkest aspects of our human nature. In a world without religion, people would simply find another outlet for their zeal.
  5. Saying islam fosters extremism is like saying eating fosters poop. It may be true, but it ignores a lot of the imprtant aspects.
  6. He actually mentions quite a few times that he was creating a list of games that have held up well on modern computers, and not one of those looks all that good today.
  7. I agree with Lexx. Her hands are a bit mannish too. I'd assume some photoshopping could be involved as well.
  8. Wow. That's pretty close to what my list would be. They guy really likes Obsidian
  9. What the heck is CAD? Use a real currency
  10. The guy was an idiot and decided to hit me on 2 major muscle groups (the chest and the abdomen), so it's only mildly bruised. My foot is kinda sore though.. So no lumps unfortunately. All those in favor of changing Rosbjerg's name to Goonbjerg say aye.
  11. When doing terror missions, have an operative go touch the civilians. They will leave the battlefield when you do it.
  12. I am only comfortable watching the LA/Atlanta series if the Dodgers are losing. I'm hoping for a Rays versus A's series and a Braves versus Pirates series in the next round.
  13. I do love dogs by the way, and if I didn't have small children I'd probably be more willing to take in a pitbull under certain circumstances. I doubt that is reassuring for these people: Betty Todd, 65-years old - Killed by her son's pet pit bull. Christian Gormanous, 4-years old - Killed by his neighbor's chained pit bull Elsie Grace, 91-years old - Killed by her son's two pit bulls Isaiah Aguilar, 2-years old - Killed by his neighbor's chained pit bull Ryan Maxwell, 7-years old - Killed by a pit bull while visiting family friends Daxton Borchardt, 14-months old - Killed by his babysitter's two pet pit bulls Monica Laminack, 21-months old - Killed by her family's pet pit bulls Tyler Jett, 7-years old - Killed by his neighbor's two pit bull-mix dogs Claudia Gallardo, 38-years old - Killed by a property owner's pit bull Jordyn Arndt, 4-years old - Killed by her babysitter's pit bull Beau Rutledge, 2-years old - Killed by his family's pet pit bull Rachael Honabarger, 35-years old - Killed by her family German shepherd Pamela Devitt, 63-years old - Killed by a pack of loose pit bulls Carlton Freeman, 80-years old - Killed by four roaming pit bulls
  14. Did you read this? https://www.causes.com/actions/1753697-fatal-pit-bull-attacks-sharply-rise-in-2013 That's some pretty terrifying stuff.
  15. If you have a stray dog loose on your property, you can shoot it and expect minimal fuss, by the way. Now the cops were called to deal with a loose pitbull in the neighborhood. They tried to get the animal handler to deal with it, they tried to taze it, and then they shot it. Seems like a pretty simple case, the video doesn't change any of that. It is super hard for me to sympathize with the pitbull. I've got a three year old son and I've heard way too many terrible stories about pitbulls and small children. If one was loose in my neighborhood I would want police to take care of it by any means necessary.
  16. How often do non-cops end up in this situation? Most of us are pretty lucky our jobs don't put us in this type of scenario.
  17. Breed has a heck of a lot to do with this, how often do you hear about people shooting other breeds of dogs? When someone gets mauled to death it's almost always a pitbull. https://www.causes.com/actions/1753697-fatal-pit-bull-attacks-sharply-rise-in-2013 I'm sure there are plenty of nice pitbulls in the world, but these are still animals, and I want the police putting the safety of humans above them.
  18. Not guilty of what? http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/local-news/closing-arguments-underway-in-trial-of-commerce-city-officer-who-shot-killed-chloe-the-dog-in-2012 I have no compassion for pitbulls. Those dogs don't mess around, and I'm not going to mess around if I've got one coming at me. It's actually pretty crazy that this cop was put on administrative leave for 6 months for this. He was trying to protect the animal control officer, he shouldn't be threatened with prison because of that.
  19. I used to, but it has been a number of years since I played Madden or NCAA Football. After college my chances to play against other people dried up, and it has never been appealing to play online.
  20. Spec Ops The Line - This is a beautiful game and I love the setting. That being said, I don't really understand why everyone is shooting at me and not willing to talk a little bit. I've killed a lot of people, you'd think they'd take a moment to stop and talk things over. I guess this is why I don't play many shooters.
  21. It's pretty common for QB's to have sophomore slumps, mostly because defenses now have plenty of tape and can prepare better for them. Also Russel is missing his top wideout, I believe.
  22. I'm a bit concerned that they seem to want to stretch it out for 7 seasons. They keep talking about 7 years of tribulations. That seems like a lot with this plot.
  23. I heard that Daikatana suffered more from bugs and glitches than anything else, that it was a decent game once they patched it up considerably. It was never my cup of tea though.
  24. I avoided controllers for years because of the optimization problems, but the Xbox controller solved that.
  25. Honestly it doesn't even matter which 3rd party you vote for, if we can just shift enough votes away from the top two we would see a dramatic change in the way the congress functions. I'd probably split my votes between the Libertarians and the Green Party, just to keep a nice balance
