Will change mean that I am not called a racist if I disagree with Obama?
Of course not! We'll just call you a terrorist.
Will change mean that slavery is now something that can finally be put to bed 145 years after it ended?
Oh hell no! We'll hold a candlelight vigil every year and use it as the platform for our next campaign!
Will change mean that people can have a rabid hatred of Obama as people had of Bush and still be free?
Absolutely, you unamerican, traitorous, bastard!
Will change mean that people with little money will have more money?
You want MONEY?! Get out there and earn it! How dare you just expect money!
With change my conservative values will that make me a target of hate?
America. Love it or leave it!!!
Will change mean the majority be sensitive to my beliefs and values?
You're not a godless babykiller are you?
Will change mean nothing has really changed but people are now happy Europe is not mad at us any more?
Screw those arrogant bastards, we don't need them!
Will change mean that our troops will be not be forgotten.
NEVER! They make for great campaign fodder and magnetic ribbons! We'll make a meme out of it that secretly means "Support us or you're not a real American!"
Will change mean that government will not take over our 401k, healthcare, car payments, house payments, freedom?
Freedom? You have plenty of that! As long as we can tap your phone lines and tell you who you can and cannot marry.
Will change mean that Obama will campaign for change in 2012?
Nope. We'll "Stay the Course!"
Change is all well and good but what does change mean. It can mean a lot of things to a lot of people but now the work has to begin words are not enough by any person any where. While people disagree with any election we still have the only country in the world that can transition peaceably from power to power every 4 years if need be. We still have a document that no other country in the world dares to implement because it gives the freedom to the people and not those that run the government.
Change means that everything I just stated above was in jest.
Crystal Chronicles was good *IF* you had the necessary hardware to play the game the way it was meant to be played. This meant 4 GBAs and 4 link cables... not something the average gamer owned (even finding three friends with link cables was a task).
Nintendo at times has this thing for insanely ridiculous hardware requirements for their console games, but if you manage to gather the hardware, it's definitely a worthy gaming experience.
Do you have any evidence of this, other than a few isolated emails?
"Other than a few isolated emails"? Isn't that all that is needed? That's like saying "You say he's a murderer? Do you have any evidence of this, other than a few isolated killings?" If you break the rules even once or twice, is it not still breaking the rules?
I agree 100%. This is one of the largest and most expensive scientific endeavors in human history, capable of providing answers to some of the greatest questions in science. This thing has taken over twenty years, billions of dollars and countless man hours to design, build and prepare for these experiments. The LAST thing we need are you jackholes screwing it up.
Firstly, I'd love to see some of this "proof". Secondly, there is no faith required in the idea that something does not exist. That's like saying I need faith to say that there isn't an invisible pterodactyl sitting on the back of my chair. Religion requires faith in something you cannot readily prove the existence thereof (like my pet pterodactyl), whereas I don't need any faith to say "Nope, there's no pterodactyl there."
One word sums up my GameCube experience: Ikaruga. Incredible sounds, beautiful graphics, gameplay rivaled only (ironically enough) by Radiant Silvergun. There is no better game for the 'Cube IMHO.
I'm much more interested in how you make up for the lives & civilizations your organization destroyed
Hey, I'm all down with the Catholic church coughing up the New World assets as soon as the Islamic world reverts the middle east to the Roman Christian states they were before hand Islamic expansion.
There's a MAJOR difference between "rules" and "Because I said so". The former are needed, the latter is horrible parenting.
Rules are there to keep children out of trouble, not to shove shortsighted views down their throats. Never once did I say I did not have rules... every parent does. My rules are basic: no running in the house, clean your dishes, treat others with respect, don't start a fight, etc. etc. so on and so forth. These are basic foundational rules, things we can all live by, and they are things I do live by. Teach by example, it works.
When it comes to other things, I always do my best to explain my reasoning. If I tell her that I cannot buy her a certain toy, I will tell her the truth as to why... the electric bill was a tad beefy this go 'round, we cannot afford it (as an example). Her response: "Okay, daddy." That's the end. No arguing, no fits. Kids are not dumb, they can understand basic "adult" concepts if you take the time to explain it to them (Translation: BE A PARENT). This also means that they are fully capable of telling the difference between real-world life and entertainment... the parent of a properly raised child does not have to worry about what they see in a video game. They know it isn't real and it isn't how we are supposed to act in society.
Treat them like a proper adult, and they will grow up to be proper adults. Treat them immaturely, and you get the stars of Jackass.
Why? Seriously, from parent to parent... why would you take something away that you don't approve of?
I guess I am a different style of parent... I actually trust my child to make proper decisions and know the difference between entertainment and reality. Instead of constantly saying "No!", I constantly say "Why?" and that (brace for it!) makes a child think. Something we as a society seem to be against.
Well raised children will not "walk over you", children that are constantly told what not to do will because they are tired of always hearing "No!"
"My house, my rules" is also something I am against. Giving your kids the parental version of Carr's "Night in the Box" schpeel isn't the best way to parent... it's the best way to demoralize a child! If their life isn't like a jail, they won't attempt to "break free".
It's just an anti-stupid lawsuit law, to protect teachers who simply ACKNOWLEDGE the fact that not everyone believes ToE is correct. That's it, nothing more, no matter what the militant Atheist sites and D-Kos may say.
That's not their job. Their job is to teach. They can believe whatever they want, but if the curriculum says teach evolution, then get out there and earn your pay. Science acknowledges evolution, and when you're teaching science... it's usually a good idea to go with what science says.
Astronomers have detected the deepest note ever generated in the cosmos, a B-flat flying through space like a ripple on an invisible pond. No human will actually hear the note, because it is 57 octaves below the keys in the middle of a piano.
That's nothing. You should hear some of the cars these kids are driving.

Yes, but an arrogant techie that can vote!
The proposed vehicle will get from 0 to 1,050 mph in 40 seconds. Yeah, sure, but... how well does it corner?
Like a missile.
The settlers were people who were so fed up with the way their government was run that they would risk everything they had to escape it.
Well, that's one thing to put on my "If McCain wins" list.

There's an invisible pterodactyl on the back of your chair, too. He says he wants money.

So they ban caffeine, which means no moutain dew, and we know mountain dew is one of the nectars of the gods.
Not to mention an all too often sponsor of these type of games.
When you don't have to slay a beast, drag water 4 miles and fend off hordes of enemies, robbers and the plague you can get 'more' done.
Such as shop for groceries, drive in rush-hour traffic or pick up our medicine at the pharmacy.

That sounds like a great plan. Insert errors into our genetic code until the virus leaves us alone. That's got to work.
Look up CCR5delta32.

No mere human will never be able to accomplish what God did with Jennifer Lopez's ass.
Perhaps not, but we are interested in pinning down the exact measurement of the kilogram, not the metric ton.
