Obama and Ramadan.
Please read my post Riku. And if you still don't see what I'm saying -- I'm not. I did. I'm not seeing what's so wrong about recognizing the Islamic religion on one of their holidays. They're getting a feast and a speech, not that big of a deal. Yes it is that big of a deal. I urge you to read the transcript of his speech or watch a few videos. Here is one such article : Article 1

Obama and Ramadan.
If that's the case, why not a Happy Birth Day Jesus mass for congress ? Oh wait. There's no need for one, since they're all white. Or, have a Vesak for the millions of Buddhists in America ? Or, Ridavan for people of the Baha'i faith ? EDIT: Please read my post Riku. And if you still don't see what I'm saying -- I'm not.

Obama and Ramadan.
As you've probably heard, El ACME Presidente Obama has over the last few days, Given a Ramadan address, message, well wishes etcetera and then also a Ramadan Feast in the State Dining Room with others to highlight the contributions of American Muslims. And in public addresses talked about what a great religion Islam is, blah blah. What is with this coddling ? I disagree with everything. Islam doesn't need any special provisions, doesn't need any feasts, doesn't need any advocates. No [ethnic group/minority/religion/race] does. Infact I see this as a cowardly act by the Obama Administration to, well, [i can't really say here on a G-rated forum] What do you think ? Is there a need for this ? Articles are everywhere, just Google it.

Excessive lag when playing RS... halp plz?
Yes, the lowest quality of graphics have been raised considerably. Just turn everything off. And keep to the barebones minimum. Shadows, flickering, rendering and effects all turned off or on the lowest setting. You're already doing that so, I imagine the speed you currently have is your only choice.

That guys' a [bleep]. No other way to put it. I would suggest asking him for 20% of all sales, but more than likely he would just say no. So, I suggest you ruin his life, destroy his career and steal his girlfriend. Usually works. And from the ashes of his defeat, you will rise - victorious.

If slavery was legal...
Why? What is so hard that you nor your family can't do and need a slave for? Haha, that's funny coming from your background. I know your ancestors are not responsible for your actions, but this is ... funny.

Anxiety/Panic Attacks
You mentioned that you were in a car crash, and also, in a different thread, that you are in a wheelchair. I really think that has something to do with why you're having these anxiety attacks. These attacks really don't look too chronic and in my opinion are caused by an underlying fear or worry. Are there certain times of day, or specific thoughts that you think might set it off ? Also, you should really see a doctor. Have you any upcoming trials ? Literally ? I know the HSC is approaching fast in NSW [not for me, but ...] So I imagine you may have something similar in Queensland. Are you on speaking terms with all your family members ? Then you should speak to them. Also, are you ever getting close to passing out ? Because, the only one time I had a panic-like attack [caused by me injuring myself] I passed out for about 3 minutes, but in my head it seemed like 8 hours. Does that happen to you ? One last thing, when you can't get to sleep and you are feeling anxious or moody read a book. This really helps. :thumbup:

5(+) Things you gotta do before you die.
After listening to some more Wagner, I want to write a piece of music. Had that ambition for a long time, but was just recently reminded of it. Oh, and annex Poland.

The N-word, is it actually offensive?
Instead of American Indian, American. Instead of African American, just American. Instead of Latin American - wait, no. That doesn't work. Instead of Black British, why not just British ? I feel that this nomenclature and it is just that, nomenclature does not add any value to a group's identity whatsoever, and infact does the exact opposite. Why say this if the only thing that differentiates a peoples is their ancestry ? When now, the only factor does matter is that you are a [proud] citizen of that country. Unnecessary names like these make racial marginalization much easier.

two young boys beaten up. really appalling
With that logic, nothing really matters then. Unless we invited time travel, we are powerless to create consequences of the past. But that does bring a interesting point. Justice is a large paradox, while you want to servilely punish the criminal, it really won't do anything to change the crime. Our taste for justice surpasses our logic. But, what is a logical choice in punishments? Less of a paradox and more of a dilemma, in my opinion.

Only real debatble thing here is how the hell could 10, and 11 year old kids do this. I'm still asking myself that. Parents were probably cokeheads, or something.
