Your neighbors are getting bombed, people are getting killed, you fear your house will be next. What the hell do you expect them to do, not do anything because it'll be morally wrong or impossible to do? Perhaps try Frank's way by sending letters...oh wait he got taken away by the police that one night... By the time [cabbage] gets that bad the most logical thing to do is flee the country, not try to fight back, as soon as the governing body loses their workforce/tax-base, they're finished. That's a good option, unrealistic at cutting off the state's taxes as (you like to say) it's not practical the majority of the population leaves. But either way, they're going to be pretty poor in Egypt as in Tunisia or in Libya. If you had done absolutely nothing note-worthy in your life and lived it pretty dull (as I would imagine living in Libya would be), the revolution could be your answer to be part of history, possibly change some things, and get some excitement. While spilling a lake of blood in the process, geez, someone please teach these people to think critically. I can't really talk though, it's not like our own countries are any better. Anyway, Libya already has a rich ancient history, they're basically Carthage. I can appreciate that especially since I have a Sicilian heritage and mostly likely harbour Libyan genetics. The blood of the volunteer rebels and the soldiers. I highly doubt rebels will go off shooting up civilian houses when they themselves joined to fight against that purpose. And what was the point of bringing up ancient history? Current political states have absolutely nothing to do with the borders of 2000 years ago; most colonial independent states don't go past 150 years even. But as a Sicilian though you, out of all people, should understand how political offices, held by certain corruption officials, can totally screw over and oppress an entire population.

The American Dream is about screwing the next guy over.

I thought we had it settled people can do what they want with their money. Besides its not like they don't buy food or anything else right?

Funny, I wanted to build a huge tower in the middle of civilization. Unfortunately there was no space. Then I figured it would take forever to get the materials. So I settled on a beach house.

I've had a couple of moments where I've seen something new and remember vaguely 'thinking' it years ago. A lot of people say they've had similar experiences. Though it's so minor and rare you can't just willingly think about things and it'll be true (psychics/prophets) and its not worth thinking about it. It's probably just your subconscious making up and pulling random bits of information outta its ass though.

Being happy is losing and winning is sad. Somethin' like that.

*not signing the petition* I like the logo as it is, thank you very much. Awesome find though.

Finally someone gets it.

You used it 4 times in that sentence :P why is it any more useless than another letter? You can replace 'c' with 'k' and it still makes sense. But 'k' makes words look ugly.

See, this is why I can't believe you. You got your American Pride so far up your ass, I'm surprised you haven't left these slightly-leftist forums. No, he's right. Americans are a far more conservative people than the populations of other developed nations. For once the ultra-far left gained control of the Democratic party, and as soon as that happened they got massacred in the Congressional elections. Americans as a whole believe in self-sufficiency and capitalism, not welfare nets and redistribution of wealth. It's why nations like Singapore and Hong Kong do so well and have such higher standards of living; the chance to make it big, "greed," fuels a strong economy. This is not to say that the USA doesn't have it's fair share of left-sided politics. Wealth is fairly concentrated in the top 20% of society (i.e., the only part of the population that innovates, takes risks or creates), so the less wealthy section of the populations often is very much for wealth redistribution. He didn't say America is a conservative society, for if he did I would of agreed, he said leftist parties are just plain crazy. The whole "right-parties-only" mentality just screams American pride 'cos pops told me that was the riiight thing. And this isn't a capitalism vs. socialism discussion so I don't know why you ventured that route.

The nostalgia and the memories mostly. I never played on a Gamecube, so I can't comment much on it. But I always thought the controller looked funny. :mrgreen:

See, this is why I can't believe you. You got your American Pride so far up your ass, I'm surprised you haven't left these slightly-leftist forums. The voting for a representative is true, but when have they ever followed their campaign promises and personal ideologies. Vote against the party and you won't have a career afterwards.

Musicians gonna hate? Oh God, ignore my last comment, that was just terrible. Why did they change her voice to that? :mellow:

Looks awful, wasn't awful. I had the same notion, but it was actually pretty decent. Worth my time for sure. Rango was better than I hoped actually. Pretty creative parts in it.

Going to watch 'Paul' and 'Rango' today. Hope they're good.

Unless that is the gameplay. :mellow:

Why don't you fish for lobbies, get a rune set 200k, and try to stake lvl 87-92s in the Arena!

Today while driving I saw the border of some guy's license plate as it read: Deal with it. I then imagined giant sunglasses slowly going down onto it.

This thread existed two weeks before I joined... o.O

Real life scientists proclaim they are Gods. "I have become the destroyer of worlds." Come on! :mrgreen:

Oily, sweaty hands on MY touchscreen? Nope. exactly! and the same with playstation/xbox controllers.. its like srsly wash your hands.. School keyboards...

Fixed. Hm, you don't want people to be proud of their country? One can be proud of their respective countries without being some crazy lunatic, which some seems to think is what they are. I'm just leveling out all the countries. We all experience the same faults/pride.

Fixed.
