I love how everyone talks about banning guns, yet nobody has a good plan about how to do so. For instance; I have 4 guns, 1 that I purchased for concealed carry when I was stationed in a terrible part of Virginia while in the Marine Corps, and 3 that were handed down to me from my father. My recent weapon is registered, and if they really wanted to they could come get it, its not worth going to jail over, but they don't know about the others and I wouldn't tell them.
So, in the society with banned guns, I would have 3 guns instead of 4. The only change would be that I would be using an older firearm to defend myself and my family.
Exceptionally well from a combat standpoint, the problem is that we are trying to change the society so they don't support terrorism anymore.
We are losing a propaganda war and winning a shooting one, but even when you kill a hundred of them for each of our guys it still adds up over the years, and its looking like our society doesn't have the resolve to wait it out.
This was an assassination, asshole. Education about gun safety had nothing to do with it.
Exactly. If guns were completely removed from our society somehow(house to house searches? I'm not sure what the plan is there), and for some reason this guy couldn't go down to Mexico and buy whatever he wanted, then this would have just been a bombing.
Maybe we should focus on figuring out what makes people so deranged that they think assassinating a public figure will solve their problems, and try to fix that?
I get the stance on Iraq, but we're leaving Iraq soon anyhow. What I don't get is the stance on Afghanistan. We can now allow the same people to regain power in the region, its just cant happen. If we ignore terrorism it isn't going to go away, and most of the alternative solutions are quite frankly moronic.
Remember in the 90s when all the pundits said that we were spending the next generations money? It turns out they were right. Those of us who entered the workforce in the last 10 years, or will enter in the next 10, are feeling the effects of the irresponsibility of the last 20 or 30 years. Having those same people who caused this still in power makes no sense, but even in the land of the free the people with the power will fight to keep it. We are witnessing either the beginning of a new era, or the downfall of the US, and it all depends on if we let the same assholes keep leading us down the path to ruin.
That is a lot easier to do with capitol letters and punctuation in the proper place. Writing like that just makes you look either uneducated or stoned.
Cuts hurt. Taxes hurt. Our economy is in shambles and both solutions make no sense.
I guess the only stance worth fighting for anymore is legalizing marijuana, at least that way I won't care what happens.
If the Arabs(and some Persians) put down their weapons today there would be peace in the region. If the Israelis put down their weapons there would be no more Israel.
That system was only in Oblivion(and Fallout 3). Hopefully they realize that scaled content has no place in a sandbox RPG, and they drop it altogether.
I hope the long term sales of these games caused by the modability on PC keeps their focus there. They may make more short term with the console sales, but they probably sell more copies of Morrowind for PC than they do of Oblivian for 360 now.
"Id Tech 5 is the best thing in the world at doing a very static environment that looks pretty and you're going to run through. But for the kinds of things I like to do, I like the world to be more dynamic."
All it actually says is that they aren't using ID tech 5, the gamebryo thing is an educated guess.
These people don't have the attention span to actually do anything like that. They are just like the hippies who thought that sitting around, singing, and doing drugs instead of contributing to society would change things. Everybody wants a shortcut, the truth is that the best way to change things is through hard work within the system, only stepping out of it when that fails.

So... hes a communist lucid dreaming government hater? Seriously, I'm trying to figure this out.

I'm guessing "Gas worker" is short for "Chemical Engineer.".
No way, I don't believe it.
Its the only explanation.
Ugh. I hate when I do that. I've been drinking, ok? I need the squiggly red line, but at least I use the fucking thing!

I'm thinking we may consider moving some of this money over to K-12 grammar education.

That narrative is unfalsifiable and ridiculous.
Oh, I think its best if nobody knows who did this.
If the Arabs(and some Persians) put down their weapons today there would be peace in the region. If the Israelis put down their weapons there would be no more Israel.
And they haven't used it.
Hey, that 5% really adds up over a month. *struggles to roll onto his side, runs out of breath, gives up*

Actually, it looks like they are going to use a updated version of GameBryo. http://pc.ign.com/articles/111/1112464p1.html
They have been unacceptable since Morrowind. Seriously, its almost 2011. Allow your damn characters to move their legs on a diagonal.

Is it freedom of speech if you don't let the other guy talk?
This. 1000 times this.
