The Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas soundtrack. Currently playing: Jane's Addiction - Been Caught Stealing Rock on.

Rights are not acquired or given by flamboyant displays of ill conceived notions surrounding sexuality. All they are doing is noise, nothing else. There is no merit in having a different skin color, nor is there any merit in having a different sexual preference; therefore, no reason to be proud of it. They did not fight for their right to be gay; they already were to begin with. It's absurd to attribute pride to sexuality or to use sexuality as an identity flag; sex is bereft of identity and history, and it does not beget any kind of culture, ethics or politics. Homosexuality is a natural condition, not an ideological argument. When it is used as such, it loses its value. Gay parades are at best warped expressions of what Dr. La Forest Potter did in the early 30's, where he tried to typify the common traits or distinguishable characteristics of homosexuals and went on to propose a ludicrous laundry list of such features. They end up exacerbating the common misinterpretations of their nature and end up parodying themselves. How does that give them rights? And rights on what, especifically? "Gay pride" does not exist, and suffice to say neither do 'heterosexuals' or 'homosexuals'; it's all an absurd concept born out of narrow minds and narrower visions, not unlike Potter's own irrational discriminations disguised as science. There are just men and women, human beings who are capable of loving people of the same gender, of opposing gender and of both genders. 'Homosexual' describes an act, not an identity; and the problem stems from trying to do the opposite, redefining identity by how submission to desire is made. In the end, gay parades are terrible attempts at the expression of homosexuality and are no better examples of homosexuality than construction workers playing Casanova to passing by women are expressions of heterosexuality. It's a vulgar and rudimentary manifestation of exacerbated sexual traits. Nothing else. The only thing they should really be proud of is their human ability to love, to truly love another and fight for said love. I'm sure someone could tell me all about gay minorities and how they are excluded and such. Unfortunately, since I do not believe in the concept of homosexuality as indicated above, I also don't believe in gay minorities. And I don't believe any of them will ever have their rights achieved by excluding themselves and trying to pin that exclusion on others. There are human beings who can undergo situations of exclusion and humiliation, and if that is the case then it is the duty of any civilized society which they are a part of to correct these situations - not because they are 'gay victims' but because they are victims. Not because they deserve to be respected while being 'gay' but because they deserve to be respected while human beings. All this homosexual martyrdom, associated rethorics and its aberrant displays - such as gay parades - are much more insulting to human beings who love those of the same gender than people will ever understand.

Haven't tried it yet but for what it's worth the Codex boys reviewed it, and some people gave off a couple of impressions of the game. #1 #2 I'm trying to get my grubby paws all over it and make love to the CD.

What communism really is.

Clearly

Yeah, she really pops out.

That seems to be another quality Firaxis game but unfortunately train simulators aren't my thing.

I don't hate my country though I most certainly have disdain for many of its inhabitants.

That's why I've said that that is what I would want from a Justice League game.

A Justice League game that doesn't use Batman as another brawler.

Maybe they can do something about the fact that all the games in the past using that license were terrible but I'm not holding my breath. We'll see.

The butterflies in my glass box are also communists then.

Awesome. What the video doesn't show is that the entire cast of the show was roundhoused in their groins so they would never laugh at all the facts about Chuck Norris.

God is playing with us.

Yup, heard it before. It's on my radar; it had to be after the quality of the first title.

High speed stunt. The game now employs a blur effect when the vehicule being driven starts to reach its top speeds.

Maybe they mean pressing your head against the monitor?

I find it's a great game; you should definetely play it. While not much to go by, I posted some quick impressions here.

Resident Evil spoof in San Fierro.

You need to post impressions soon, magical Llyranor. Still hooked on San Andreas. I've just finished working as a valet and done up Zero's missions. Next up - race tracks!

Nice pic The closest I have come to piloting helicopters was in Zero's New Model Army mission where C.J. has to control a miniature heli (shown below) to help Zero reach his rival's fortress.

Spot the Rockstar collectibles - Tommy Vercetti and Manhunt action figures!

The RC Red Baron spreads terror in San Fierro!

Many thanks for the very nice suggestions, both Shadowstrider and Soulseeker (

My deepest sympathies.
