Xbox Runs X, KDE, Gnome, StarOffice and Tuxracer

TuxRacer also runs (look at the new screenhots on the website), but only with one frame per second. Check out screenshots here."

    Sorry, but as it is my understanding, we (America) stood by while the people we now call Israelies did what the Palestinians are doing now, so many years ago. The Israelies did worse, when they were the ones without a real country. If you want to find out about all this, TLC or Discovery ran a very well informed special on the subject.

    >No, I said Bill Clinton specifically.

    If you take a quick look at some economic statistics, you will see that your beloved country was gaining funds at a high rate during the mandate of this man, and now you are being robbed again. Isn't it wonderful to see all those billions of your hard earned national funds (you paid for it) being baked into exquisite deadly machinery and blown to pieces with a bunch of peasants on the other side of the world.

    >In 500 years at current rates, Europe will be
    >all Muslim. Something to think about.

    I see, your particular interrests in the conflict seem to be getting rid of people who don't think like you. That's a subject of admiration, let's all give the righteous and true americans a jolly applause.

    >There is no excuse for the slaughter of innocent
    >civilans.

    The problem with this sentence is the bush-crypto. Decrypted version: "There is no excuse for the slaughter of american civilians, any other is fine, our media will filter it out for some sweet green paper."

    >We're loathed because we're successful. Same with
    >the Isrealis.

    Actually, I feel sorry for you guys, having to maintain that superficial and bogus national character all your lives. Not to forget, Americans are the English, Dutch, Portuguese and Spanish people that the European colonisation fleets left there few hundred years ago. Your country has no history but the indians, and their blood is also on your hands. The lack of heritage is probably why you seem so oblivious to the extreme inhumane nature of your country's moves internationally. I hope you wake up with a smile on your face every morning, satisfied in knowing that your dollars are being employed exactly for what you chose in the election, spilling blood and oppressing.

    Oh dear, I believe we've met Mr.Indoctrinated himself.
    Your country wanted the russians out of Afghanistan, so you raised a terrorist army.
    This terrorist army had friends which were oppressed by other hypocrite moves made by your country, for instance the palestinians and the iraqi.
    Some of them decided to give your country some of it's own medicine, by means of a cowardly act (which your country has made countless).
    This cowardly act killed but a few thousands of your country's people, and yet, to you it seems as if it's the first time someone got killed.
    Man, your media holds you by the spinal cord. You are helping them every day.
    Your media is owned by the very rich. The very rich protect the interrests of the very rich.
    Every time I hear an American speak on the subject, he sounds almost psychotic in again and again trying to assure to himself that patriotism is the answer. Is patriotism the solution? What is patriotism going to do to a conflict? It doesn't take a genious to answer this, but to get an honest answer, maybe it takes a non-patriot.

    >The missile defense has nothing to do with
    >fighting terrorists per se, but is a method of
    >protecting North America from the occasional
    >rogue missile from unfriendly nation states.

    And again, don't you ever wonder why these states have become unfriendly? Do you really think they hate your country for no reason?
    If the U.S. government would for once be unselfish, let a few oil, locational and religion-related strongholds go, declare neutrality and conformance with the U.N. policy, and withdraw to a normal international discussion, they could resolve this whole conflict within months. Better yet, as your government swear by the grace of god, in god we trust and so on, you could even call it a great act of christian compassion. Turn the other cheek aside, remember?

    Anyway, the decadence of the american people's spirit is the main problem in my opinion.
    Listen to Eminem, that guy puts it in clear text sometimes.
