The New Year Update
That's my line of thinking. However, I am also believing an engine update to go along with it, along with the player overhaul.

Behind the Scenes - November Edition
I am hoping that updated players are coming soon. Hell, a major overhaul of all graphics would rock.

What is your favorite gun?
I personally love my Mossberg Model 500, one of the most dependable firearms on the market. It's excellent for the two reasons I have it. For one, it shoots very accurately up to 400 yards which is great for clay shooting. Also it's great for home defense. I would never shoot anyone, but the Mossberg makes a satisfying racking sound from behind a locked door. I have two other firearms: A non-functional Steyr M1912 that my grandfather found in World War 2. Also, a Ruger MkIII target pistol that I love dearly. I have my eyes on the Walther P22 .22LR pistol. It's lighter than the MkIII and is still very accurate. Plus it's damn sexy for a target pistol.

At last, Justice has been served!
I don't like the OP's statement of "Grandpa." Just because someone is conservative doesn't mean they are old. It's pretty unfair, and pretty much sounds like biased statements making it look like liberalism = progressiveism.

an appeal to all usa tipiters
It's either waiting tables or working a buffet. It usually won't be actual waiting, it will just be serving. The menu would be set already by whoever is paying for the event. As for tips, just be professional, speak confidently and don't say umm... or any other hesitation sound.

17-year-old disciplined for shotgun shells at school
Skeet shooting liscenses (which you dont even NEED to have in most states) are so easy to get. Most 8 year olds pass the test.

Rumsfeld fled's, fearing arrest!
There's no warrant for his arrest. OOOOH. Protesters filed charges! That so means legal jack squat. From the article, I gather the French don't even really care. That's like PETA calling for my arrest for murdering a Deer.

The wilderness suggestions rant-
I agree about the ditch, it is ugly. I'd like a ditch maybe 4-5 squares wide, with bridges every where with major danger signs like skulls on gates or something.

How Unions Are Ruining the Economy
Really? Many would call me an extreme Liberal, yet I don't support a strong economy over social liberalism... :-k It's an American thing. For some stupid reason we are all idiots and think that Conservative and Liberal terms are social ones. However, they are supposed to be economic, since that's the difference between Democrats and Republicans.

It's Montenegro, actually. The culture over there respects death more than Mexico. When someone makes a wish for death, people follow it to the letter.

How Unions Are Ruining the Economy
Yeah but my point was that even though teachers are making really good money, they still strike for more. That's where I see the union as unfair. EDIT: I just looked up income taxes between Canada and the United States, and it appears that Americans pay slightly more income tax than Canadians. Although you are correct in that you may much less sales taxes than we do. You don't pay school taxes though. These are on the civil level.

How Unions Are Ruining the Economy
Here in Ontario teachers are paid high salaries (50-80k, principals make ~100k) and they still manage to strike for raises every 3 years or so. You also pay 5 times more taxes than we do. People here don't want payraises for teachers because it means their civic taxes will raise in order to pay for us.

How Unions Are Ruining the Economy
I am in a "professional union." Being a teacher, it seems that everyone wants to screw us. We have one of the most important jobs on the planet, and most people barely clear 35k per year as a starting salary. Not to mention, our legal needs are important. Especially as a male teacher, I know that one bad grade to a female student and she can attempt to frame me for sexual assault or something. And from seeing other union jobs out there, they are desperately needed. Kroger markets tried to shut down health insurance for it's meat employees this past summer. Unions are still needed across the board. When you go back to your little Utopian dream world where you are President, go ahead and trust your companies. But in the real world, you can not expect ethics to overcome greed.

Do you believe in "aliens"
If we can not even get over Euro-Centrism worldwide, how the hell does anyone expect to believe in life otherwhere? Mankind's view of the Universe right now is Earth-centric. For all people care, we might as well have the Sun revolving around us.

That will probably be an option, but I am sure they will still have WorldPay.

Because the majority of the players do not even understand what a CEO is?

Civility Reigns at San Diego Stadium
Oh, the fun hasn't even begun yet! Wait until their agencies deny their claims. THEN the fun begins! The majority of these people are the ones who chose not to live in Bel-Air because the property values were not high enough. I saw the aerial shots of their homes. Three-four stories Spanish-Med 800k-2.1 million dollar homes. Those people probably have their insurance agencies in nooses. And trust me, every suburban home in SoCal has fire insurance. You don't understand how rich these people are. Lets put on a monocle to demonstrate. These people aren't eating FEMA rations. They are drinking champagne and eating gourmet food. Comparing this gathering to the Superdome in New Orleans is a travesty.

Who Should have a Nuke? And WWII
Hitler actually had a plan written up using Gotha flying wings to deliver heavy water bombs to New York and Washington D.C. These documents were captured by the Russians, along with the scientists working on the bombs and the aircraft prototypes were destroyed. The Russians would report that Hitler was less than 5 months from developing an atomic weapon. They used that research to build their own.

Most of those people are happy because they have fire insurance policies on their homes that will pay double.

People in F2P were satisfied. And considering the poll was open to everyone, it makes a bit of sense.
