Fox News, classy news source there!

And you can totally feed a family and house on a McDonalds salary. :roll: The thing is is that we aren't even talking about welfare here, we're talking about health care. How can someone deny a person such an important thing? You said we need to care for the entire nation, and that is true. That includes people who can not pay for health care or the exorbitant prices that come with something as simple as Surgery. If you have both parents working at McDonald's making $10 an hour working 10 hours a day, yes you can feed a family and pay for a house on a McDonalds salary. I do not believe that you will start out at $10 an hour, but it is really not that hard to find a job paying $10 an hour if you are willing to work hard. Well Universal health care is in my opinion welfare. So why doesn't the government start paying for our car insurance and house insurance, because we are not a socialist government. We are a country based on the "American Dream" where if you work hard you will be rewarded. But would you want universal health care at the cost of the nation of the United States? I would rather live the American ideals that have kept this country free and safe for 200 years than go and try to be a socialist nation. If health care is that big of a deal to you just go move to Canada. The American Ideal is such an odd thing. I'm not saying that capatalism is bad, in fact I like that it encourages corporations to try and improve their product through competition. However for something such as health care I have to make an exception here. There is no reason someone should deny an ill person treatment just because they don't have money. It's not welfare. They aren't handing out money but simply making a current paid service free. I still find it hard to believe that someone would willingly deprive a human of such care and treatment. Again I'm not talking about welfare here.The fact is is that, on a $10 an hour salery a person could not pay for an expensive medical bill ontop of caring for a family. It just is not possible!

That's what confuses me. Krieg is fine with putting his life on the line in Iraq for a cause that does not benifit the majority of people, yet he wouldn't want to pay even a small tax increase so that people can have free health care. It doesn't make sense.

Oh internet! :|

I think you're just a complete idiot after reading this post. Right now my family is considered poor. My father has had no luck getting a job up to this point and my mother's business is barely bringing in anything due to the nature of the products combined with the state of the economy. We depend on said "help". Without it, we would be out on the street (quite literally). I've noticed a lot of my friends who joined the military became adapted a superior point of view on everything and you're showing this right now. You think that just because your job is secure that everyone elses' jobs must be as well, or that a job is just oh so easy to find. To be honest, I feel sorry for people who join the military. You're in for a hard life if you continue with your current views. Exactly. I've been very lucky to have been brought up in a family where my dad works for the military, and I'm very thankful of that. Not everyone has the same luck. It isn't about being "lazy" or spending money on what you don't need. Health care is a very costly thing, after all. I mean even a simple surgery can cost thousands of dollars, which in all honest MOST families in America can't deal with on top of everything else. And with the market like it is today it certainly does not help. You have a very limited view of the world around you Krieg, and I'm sorry to hear that. How many people would actually go and say "you know what, [bleep] it if a child born in a low income family gets sick. [bleep] if something happens to someone in a low income situation. If they can't afford our ridiculously priced health care then they should just try harder!"

[hide=]You need to find the "general" kid (that was at the start) somewhere in the settlement. It's a pain in the [wagon].[/hide]

Well you somewhat assumed that someone is going to be able to have the same privlages and money as you did without working. That does imply socialism. But really, we get it Krieg. You're in the military -- you are entitled to more than anyone else because of that fact. [bleep] giving health care to those who can't afford it, right? :)

The newest episode (time travel one) was pretty funny, after they stole the Nazi's uniforms. Brian: Hmm.... look at this *Zooms into a picture of a McCain/Palin button*

I have a feeling you aren't really up to date with the MMO scene anymore Blue. :) I would recommend Warhammer Online if you're a PvP nerd, World of Warcraft if you're a PvE nerd. There isn't much past those two titles really that are great in the MMO scene. You could try EVE Online (space based) but its pretty boring unless you like number crunching. You could also try Lineage II if you want a hardcore PvP game, I've heard that they upped the experience gain dramatically on live servers so its a lot easier (comparitivly, it'll still be slower than WoW or WAR) to get up higher level. Of course if you're looking for a free MMORPG that is an entire different ballpark all together, in which I think there are very few free MMOs that are even worth investing time in.

Blut Aus Nord - Procession of the Dead Clowns Giving it a try based off of Intriguings recomendation.

Primordial, especially their album To the Nameless Dead. I'll check them out, always looking for some more BM. :thumbup:

Name I came up with first time I played Neverwinter Nights. It just kind of stuck with me.

I'm thinking that the end of November - Early December we should see the rise of 1.1, we'll see the Heavy Metal event that will bring back the KotBS and Blackguard and probably a lot of bug fixes. Really 1.1 is the biggest thing to look forward to.

Not sure if you know them, but give Therion's earlier (death metal) albums a shot. I'd recommend Beyond Sanatorium for a good start. Most of the rest of Therions stuff is Symphonic, but their DM ages were brilliant.

Just bought it today, went half and half with my roomate :) . Man, they really pointed the middle finger at people though -- some of the end songs are hard as [bleep]. I just unlocked all of them, and some are insane.

Yeah and overpay by 3-4x the amount it would cost to build it.

You'll find a lot is easy to take down. Run up close > VATS > head.

Haha. Oh no, hallmark is going to destroy my zero sector!

I'm not quite sure what you mean by that, could you explain more? Because of it's open source nature. People who dislike PC gaming usually don't want to have to mess around with that kind of stuff, it's easier to just buy a game and pop it in and go. And in all honesty the pandora is pretty much just a tiny PC with linux. I'd think the OP would want a console and not a handheld PC.

I just don't see the pandora being something that a person who hates PC gaming would want, honestly.

Tell me how your "friend" likes it. :)

Just do 10 mans with your friends and don't be a [bleep], seriously. Raiding in WoW is god [bleep]ing awful without having some people you actually enjoy playing with playing with you. And they are making it silly anyways in WoTLK so you can do all the raids in 10 or 25 man versions.

Uh, a bunch of empty pizza boxes I guess. :oops:

Far Cry (the first) was [bleep]ing incredible, a masterpiece FPS that ranks up there as one of the best FPS experiences I've ever had. That is, the PC version, not the [cabbage]ty "infected" or w/e one for xbox. Fallout 3 I have to say was a disappointment for me, mostly the ending. It's still a fun game but I'd rent it...
