All he'll do is some presidential pardons and the like. To get on good terms with some people before leaving office. Some is an overstatement :P .

I might be with range on this one. For example, my entire family has bad allergies against pollen. Well, we were all on allergy medicines and they never improved, we were just hit with worse and worse attacks. Well, one summer, I was fed up and dropped my medicine and let my body fight the allergy. It took months of runny noses and sniffing flowers, but by the end, I hardly reacted to pollen without a medicine at all. The same can be said about many medical problems in the past. Asthma hasn't been discovered for very long, and when the few that did have it had an attack, they had to deal with it or die. Personally, I think only babies should get vaccines only for necessary things. I know it sounds cruel, but survival of the fittest should apply in my ideal world. With modern medicine, sickly people can pass on their defective genes and make the next generations even more susceptible to these illnesses.

Please explain your poorly thought out statement. Likewise. How do we know what exists if we having nothing that does not exist? But he explains it better: Please explain your poorly thought out statement. It's a pretty good an' old philosophical explanation of how we define things. Basically, we define things as what is and what is not "it". Using a hypothetical should help explain it. Let's say we enter a room, and in this room there is nothing but a four-legged wooden thing with two carved planks placed perpindicular to each other atop the legs. We can look at that and call it a "chair", but with nothing else in the room of differing characteristics and no prior knowledge of such a thing we can't really understand what makes that chair a chair. Now, after much waiting and pondering, a desk is added to the room, and from this we can further understand what makes that thing in the middle of the room a chair- the desk may have four legs like the chair, but it has no set place for a person to rest on. So from that we know that a chair needs a place for a person to sit down. After a few minutes, a seat with one thin leg underneath it is added to the room. We try sitting on it, but it falls every time. After some thinking we can define another characteristic of a chair after encountering this new object- beyond having a place to sit on, a chair needs to be able to stand up under the weight of a person. With the addition of new things like couches and beds we can continue to further define what a chair is by comparing it to things it is not. Eventually this will result in a set definition for what we call a "chair". Basically, if we can't define what something is not we can not truly define what it is. That's Plato's theory that Reb explained if you/anyone else was wondering.

As for between now and January for Bush, he's still president, but it would be foolish to try anything this major at the end of his presidency. Congress would never pass a major proposal this late in the term.

Yea, technically he's the President Elect. Indeed, that's really been pissing me off.

I don't see how writing a speech in cursive would matter considering you're the only one reading it :? . As for articles, those are in newspapers/magazines so they're always in print. In general, people prefer if you write in print as it is generally more readable by everyone. As long as your writing is legible, you'll be fine.

Go ahead and start it range, OP isn't here :( .

? Never heard :P Wow, netherwing is really fast rep.. on my prot warr i've gotten from neutral to 6000/21000 in 4 days along with around 2.7k gold :P What did you kill/how many hours a day?! :shock:

Burning Crusade :-s . I don't have any other systems/play many games :twss: .

You can't just make up ideas and call yourself intellectual :ugeek: . Something doesn't cease to exist just because it isn't happening at that very moment. The same could be said about any historical figure ever in time. Just because Hitler is dead, does that mean that he didn't kill millions of Jews? No, it just means that it happened earlier. I can't tell wether or not you're joking or being serious.

Don't be an [wagon] I was trying to prove a point in the way I thought would be most likely to get a response. It seems to have failed. That being said, I agree with what you were saying, it is possible to get by on a job at McDonalds. I also wasn't really trying to be an [wagon], I was just saying that krieg's job isn't really something that the common person could do. Ahh, misunderstood, there's just a lot of people nowadays that (dare I say) hate a person for being involved in the government in any way.

FOREPLAY THEN INTERCOURSE!!!

You work a secure job, there's very little chance to you being chucked out of your job left with mortgages, family commitments and bills to pay now is there? In the state the current economy is in a huge amount of jobs aren't secure and pay cuts or lay offs are happening every day, when this happens people need to be helped or they will end up on the streets. In an earlier post you said you need to be paid more, I frankly think you don't. I assume in the USMC like the British army you have free accommodation, food is provided, entertainment is provided etc and when you're at home you live in barracks, where once again basic needs are provided for you. The money you earn at the end of the day is pretty much all disposable income, the average person has to pay for food, accommodation etc out of what is left of their wage, you are getting it relatively easy. Don't reply with "I'm putting my life on the line for your freedom or others" as you chose the job, the working conditions make no difference once you chose that job. Downsize your head and stop assuming once you have a job it's easy to get by, it's not. I will agree though there are people who simply jump on the social welfare and benefits train to have an easy life, those kind of people I have no problem withdrawing benefits from as they do nothing for society other than take honest tax payers money. How's that a fair argument? You can't tell him putting his life on the line doesn't justify higher pay. If that was the case, nobody would be surgeons on the battlefield when they could sit in an office, going home to their family every night. --- Don't be an [wagon] --- Since when do you need your masters degree to work at McDonalds? :lol: The reality of it is that you CAN survive off of minimum wage if you manage your money wisely. Families over time have seemed to assume that a tv, iPod, nice car, and the latest accessories are all necessary for survival. In todays time, you could raise a family of 10+ with both parents working at $8 an hour. Albeit tough, it can be done. ---- As for Obama's grandmother dying, pity, but not newsworthy. If anything, it could be used just to gain some sympathy votes.

I still wish halloween was left to the freaks :(. Normal people take over all the fun stuff and claim it as their own :(.

I'm still waiting for priests to get buffed. Nowhere, NOWHERE are priests a truly beneficial class to be. Questing? Need a group, your most powerful things are shadow blast and wand. Want to do bg? Good luck trying to last 5 seconds in a fight if more than 1 person attacks you. I can't think of one thing priests dominate.

Freak accident? It's snowed on Easter in west Texas before, now THAT'S a freak accident.

Did it have this one? I looked through but didn't see anything. Maybe it's just that obvious #-o .

Maybe I'm just missing something obvious, but I have no clue which 4 lines to remove in order to get the 4 triangles for the halloween event. Please help :)

We should also allow you to murder, because we don't want to impose on your natural abilities :roll: .

himben, are those chinese dwarves?

I don't like these kinds of studies. It makes the "average" non gamer that ridiculed us core players empowered and not feel weird even though they're taking over what they once stamped as freakish. They did the same thing with comic book heroes by putting them in movies. I wonder what'd they do if all us hardcore gamers overtook their hobbies and turned them into freakshows :twisted: !

So I saw it last night and it was terrible! Random story line and not much gore at all. It reminded me of a soap opera as I watched it, cheap storyline with a shocking twist that just wont die. Don't see it, big waste.

FInally, a good post from somebody that can actually vote :? .

I actually enjoy being on a server an hour ahead of me irl. I like to start raids earlier (most get off work at 6ish, so the raid would start for me at 5) and it makes it easier to stay on for lagging raids. I feel sorry for those that are staying till near 1 in the morning for a raid when it's barely cracking midnight for me :lol: . Oh, and I got the cloth pumpkin helm...again on my alt...1 trick or treating later :? .
