We don't wanna be greedy. If you take Alaska you get her too. She'll teach you how to speak American.

Gotta learn to be happy with yourself. Having others to share the holiday with can be an added blessing, but they shouldn't be a crutch that your happiness relies on. You need moar inner fulfillment. I'd suggest improving your diet (if it could use improvement), taking up light yoga or Tai chi, reconnecting with your inner child, and taking control of your thinking patterns.

No one believes the main stream media. That said this isn't a case of deception. It's simply a bizarre and unrealistic scenario they've set up.

Not really. A few things to consider: A) No business worth a dime would mistreat it's customers like that so this scenario would almost never happen. B) Many people respect business owners right to conduct their business as they please; regardless of whether they agree with the owner's actions or views. The people not standing up for the woman aren't on the bigot's side. They just don't want to cause trouble. It's likely they would never shop there again. It's a near certainty that such a business would have no future. C) A random small store in Texas hardly represents the whole country.

Bruce, some people are afraid of the Hijab and get very uncomfortable when a woman around them is wearing one. Really? Are you being serious ....people are scared of the Hijab or are they scared of what they think it means if someone wears it? They are scared of what it means if some one wears it. If a Jewish terrorist group hijacked planes and crashed them into the World Trade Center; then the Jewish terrorist group claimed that they did it in the name of Judaism. Yeah, some people would have gained an irrational fear of Judaism.

Oh i disagree...since Middle Eastern are non-white, not white people, not western. Most western people today believe Christian is western, so you are okay with Christianity, it have a root in your civilization and culture. (Even though the Christian of the past originally are Middle Eastern and look like Arabs) While Islam is foreign, it's Middle Eastern, it's alien, it's against what you know about western culture, white culture....Islam seems as "against everything you know about being white people"...that's why the west fear Islam...ban hijab... I'm pretty sure it has more to do with things like Muslims flying planes into the World Trade Center in the name of Islam and less to do with Middle-Easterners being non-white.

Bruce, some people are afraid of the Hijab and get very uncomfortable when a woman around them is wearing one.

It's because idiots that think Islam = Terrorism also tend to think that Hijab = Muslim. It's not ethnicity that's making them uncomfortable; it's middle-eastern culture. That's my point, it's MIDDLE EASTERN culture...see? It's racial... It's okay if your woman wear scarf...it's fine, it's beautiful, it's western and civilized.....but if your woman wearing hijab? Bam! It's terror, it's evil, it's Middle Eastern and barbaric! The Middle-East is not a race. Fear of Middle-Eastern culture is not racial. Ignorant perhaps, but not racial.

It's fear of Islam. This is true. Even the Evangelicals who say they do actually don't. They're afraid of Islam because of major terrorist attacks like 9/11 being carried out by Muslims claiming to be acting in the name of Islam. Not because they perceive Muslims to be of another race. White Muslims would scare them as much as any other Muslim.

It's because idiots that think Islam = Terrorism also tend to think that Hijab = Muslim. It's not ethnicity that's making them uncomfortable; it's middle-eastern culture.

No, it isn't. This is about western nations stupidly poking a hornet's nest rather than respecting their limitations and religious fanatics being lunatics.

No thats not the solution..if the USA converts to Islam then the problem is solved ? Lets not over complicate things....if the most powerful and influential Western country in the world just converts then the EU would follow ....surly if the whole world was Islamic then there wouldn't be anymore violence? Well except for the historical Shia\Sunni violence , the Iran vs Saudi resentment, the likes of ISIS and AL-Qaeda who kill anyone who doesn't agree with there interpretation of Islam, and the likes of Boko Haram and Al-Shabaab....but apart from that we would have Global peace..wouldn't we What i mean is let there be more white Muslims, they are your own people, surely your own people will not do something to your own people isn't it? If they're Islamists it doesn't matter what their ethnicity is; they will be a danger to themselves and others. The fact that most Muslims aren't white really doesn't change much.

I don't agree with your sentiment, but the I approve of your trolling.

I think when I go see episode 7 I'll go dressed as Boba Fett. Maybe I'll go, "Hi I'm Boba Fett, you may remember me from the Star Wars Christmas Special."

They have?

Against...the AI, or in multiplayer, or..? What exactly is the bar for "good", here? Well, I'm not even trying to get good; just decent. In most RTS games I can always beat the ai on any difficulty and win the vast majority of multiplayer matches. In age of Empires 2 however, I'm so bad that I can only sometime beat the ai on moderate (unless I employ cheesy ai exploit strategies). I haven't played online as I don't like to do so until I'm at least competent.

I tried to get decent at Age of Empires 2 but I just can't. It's very strange and frustrating considering I'm excellent at most RTS games. Why can't I get this... WHY!? Today sucks.

And none of this was integral to the foundation of the Mongol Empire thereby contradicting your claim that "no great civilization has existed without a founding religion". That's a pretty big claim to make. What would the Mongol empire be without the wind-worshipping mongols? Meshugger you don't need a religion as the foundation of modern Western countries as far as the religion being a intricate part of decision making in government ? Aren't Western countries secular around there governments ? Culture, Bruce.

You're welcome.

So long as the games are fun does it really matter? Personally, I've never played any of the DS series; so I've no need to defend it, but I don't see what's wrong with a simple repeated formula so long as the formula still works. One of my greatest gaming frustrations is that Nintendo's Star Fox series didn't remain consistent but instead were more experimental. As a result; Star Fox 64 never really got the great sequel it deserved.

That about sums it up.

but you've ruined my joke about being a party pooper while having a toilet in my avatar. How did I miss that!? I feel so foolish now...

I can place a hat on a picture. Here, I'll make a version of yours... EDIT: This version's better.

This new one is very neat.

Bruce, you need to fulfill your promise and change your picture. It's still the same.
