Google is pretty cool
Government treating people different based on sexual preference. Nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with Googles decision. Jeez. >_>

Okay so it's only for domestic partnerships. And against the government. Nothing wrong with that.

They don't pay any extra taxes, they just don't get breaks and reductions from married couples. Just wanted to get that clear.

I thought it was employees with a civil union, but re-reading it it just says "couples" and "partners". So a hetrosexual couple, not yet married, doesn't get extra pay?

Another gay topic? Jeez. Let's turn OT into a Gay Rights forum. And yes, this post totally means I'm homophobic btw.

The official World of Warcraft thread.
...? 13GB Cata + 13ish GB we have now, or is it reinstalling everything? Most likely overwriting a lot, but new stuff aswell. There are new graphics like water, textures, etc. so the entire gameworld will be updated with these. Ahh, true. I overlooked that. So its a mix then.

Reveal Confessions, Secrets & Regrets...
I sometimes thought that the whole world around me was fake. The people were just actors, the countries overseas I saw on TV were just made up in studios, for when I become 18 I will be crowned King of the World. You know, in one of those "lets put our heir through poverty so when he becomes king he wont be greedy" blah blah.

Nationality & Belonging to a country
Viking porn? OT: I'd like to see Italy and italian culture one day aka good pasta =P~ Then go to Olive Garden! Please don't shoot me. I was just kidding. But yes, I would love to go to Calabria, Italy someday, the province my great-great-grandfather came from. Maybe I could locate the town he was born in.

World Cup 2010 - South Africa!
The worst [bleep]ing team, in the world, Argentina. No words to describe their stupidity. I can't even feel the loss because it was so horribly one sided. Those players had the chance to be the cup winners. If they don't want it why the [bleep] should I. Gf.

Car or a bus?
A car by far. Not only your trip is private (blast your own music, don't worry about overcrowding) but you can easily change your route. Need to go to the store? Friends calling you over? With a bus you'll need to return home THEN head to wherever you need.

World Cup 2010 - South Africa!
Ever since Ghana beat USA I wanted them to loose badly. This satisfies my needs. Its not like they were cheated out of it, they had four tries: penalty kick for the hands, penalties at the end, the whole game, and just giving up at the USA match so they didn't had to suffer like this. WAY TO GO NETHERLANDS. WTFBBQFTW! F' you Brazil, f' you! Argentina v. Germany tomorrow. [bleep] I'm nervous, either we cry of joy or cry of suffering. I hope the teams ready... So far though, I wouldn't mind anybody left to win the cup, except for Germany and Spain (Brazils out, haha).

Happy July the 4th!
I've always seen fireworks, never actually lit them before. Though they're better as a background effect or the finale of an event...not the event itself.

Nationality & Belonging to a country
If I'm truely loyal to any place, it would be California. If America entered a war I wouldn't join, but if California fought for indepence, I would join. But that won't happen, so I'm a proud American citizen.

[TF2] It's MANN Vs. Machine!
This helped me a lot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-qD30EOO-o The Ambassador is good at taking out engies at long range (or used to). The brightest and biggest thing on the engie...is his helmet. :mrgreen: I've recently played more sniper and spy. Had a couple of good games of spy, and more as snipers.

Happy July the 4th!
It doesn't matter, we won our independence, that's the point of this holiday. Also, no matter how we celebrate a war it will have murder (lol @ betrayal).

EU to ban construction of normal housing by 2020
show me where this extra energy will come from in ways that do not create an energy deficit for the future, and i will be one very, very rich man. Your solution is so obvious, and simple there should be no problem. There is a problem, and so your reasoning lacks a major consideration: we cannot produce the energy you wish to waste. Now if we could have coldfusion power, your "let's just produce more" sentiment would be very pertinent. As of today's technology, you're living in a magical world of plenty, that simply doesn't exist. May I ask you how long we've been getting net-power from solar cells? Energy costs in production have exceeded energy produced in their lifetimes until about 5 years ago: they haven't been producing power, they've been batteries. Almost all energy production and food production today is fossil-derivative. That means we could not produce the energy and food without the fossil components we're using up that are not replenishable. What is "hydrogen power" ? Do you mean hydrogen fuel cells, which are a way of storing energy, not making it? Oh, you thought I meant we could do these things NOW. No. We still got oil and coal and other methods. Wait till that runs out, THEN we'll switch to the things I said. There won't be no "energy shortage" or "world-wide crisis" when we run out of energy...because we never will. Multi-billion dollar companies, while I do not like them, are not stupid and already have plans to take part of the post-oil energy industry. What else would they do? "Invention is the offspring of necessity." Where we will get energy, while I've got some ideas, I'm sure a scientist (corporate most likely) knows loads more where. Good thing you brought this up. Personally, I would rather grow corn for feeding people, not powering up cars.

There's no such thing as wasting if there's an almost infinite amount of energy. Plus, humanity's long history deserved us to some luxory. Think about this: would your factory working great-great grandfather want his family to be told what to do and live an unfair life? Ahh, the young and naive, always thinking about the trees but ignoring the papers. Most people, including you I bet, won't be willing to waste thousands of CURRENT dollars to fix something that will save who knows how much FUTURE dollars. Not to mention those who simply can't afford it. Oh, right, the government knows best. Independent people can't think at all. No, their taste for art is selfish. Society must run like a computer: to the most logical and reasonable with no comforts or emotions whatsoever.

Why limit our energy consumtion when they could just increase energy production? We got nuclear, air, water, hydrogen, solar, hell you could get a bunch of prisioners to push around a turbine. Why should the majority get the short side of the stick?
