You know, to get out of the traffic jam level, there's a telecommute mod.
That makes the 'wife' boss appear in every level!
Now, if your playing a quake style game, that's bad. If it's more like leisuresuit larry... That's good.

Are you married?
There's your BOSS level.
Then the kids... little mini bosses, all the damn time!:)
Leaving for work... those are the easy levels.
I find it funny that everyone says he's black. He's only half black, the other half is white. I've seen no one claim that he's white. Why is it that having one black parent makes everything think it's OK just to say he's black. I've been guilty of it as well, but it's technically not accurate.
I remeber the first day I got
$ pico
-bash: pico: command not found
I had to use vi... I quickly learned that pine was no longer installed by default, and started installing that.
After a while, I discovered that nano did what pico did (although it's stupid that the number pad doesn't work)
so I aliased pico to nano...
I've finally gotten used to it, although that linewrap thing bites me in the ass every now and then.
I remember my first linux box... About 30 slackware floppies downloaded @ 33.6. I finally got it all running on a 486 (each time I found an image was bad I had to re-download).
My first command after login? help And help, it was not.
After a while of screwing around with it, I decided I needed to delete a particular directory...
rm -rf/etc/something/somewhere/stupid
notice the space... accident...
Anyway, I should have learned not to f my rm -rf... But actually, I just learned to check my paths better when deleting. Oh well.
I'm going to give up on the quoting at this point.
I think we both agree that there should be a form of welfare, and that it should give incentives to get off, but welfare in the states does not do that. It's a drug. Our country has reached a point where people know how to abuse the welfare system and have made welfare their profession. Obama is not running on a platform of fixing welfare, he's said he's going to give more welfare. Additionally he said he was going to give tax rebates to people who don't pay taxes anyway. Well, that's also welfare.
And yes, our country is to a point where carjacking is a serious issue. And I'm suspect to believe it's done by the same people who are on welfare to begin with. Being on welfare doesn't cause it, but being in a situation where you are destitute does cause more of these crimes. They aren't seriously punished here because our jails or overcrouded with illegal immigrants. Yes, if their quality of living was improved, they would not be involved in crimes such as these. Welfare HERE is bringing people down, not up. WHat country are you from where it's done better, I'd rather live there.
Let's say someone makes 5 million a year. Now, let's say there's some really strict things in place to stop them dodging taxes (which most rich people are actually really good at). They get taxed at 50% of their income. They now make 2.5 million a year. Do you really think they're "less powerful" than they would have been at 3, 4 or even just under 5 million?
Lets say that my family makes 250k/year. I think that's acheiveable in my lifetime, although I'm currently not even at 1/3rd of that. I can expect to be taxed MORE than what people at 250k are already taxed at. Frankly, working harder to be taxed more doesn't seem very attractive, but working less to get something for nothing DOES seem attractive. This goes along with keeping the poor, poor. Give hand outs to people, and they'll keep voting for you.
"Fairness" does not advocate the removal of free speech.
Learn what the fairness doctrine is and come back when you can have an educated conversation. And what's being proposed is not the soft rules of '49-'85. The new proposals are much stronger. There's nothing "fair" about it. It violates your 1st amendment rights. Think of it like this... If it was reinstated and inforced, the owners of this site would have to make sure that there would be no more liberal posts than there are conservative posts. We all know that there's probably a 80/20 split here... That would be eliminating quite a few peoples' 1st amendment rights.
And as far as welfare... The more people get it, the more depend on it. People who decide to work to get off welfare do it because they want a better standard of living than what they can have on welfare. By increasing the amount of welfare people get, you increase that standard of living thereby increasing the amount of people who are content to stay there.
http://aspe.hhs.gov/hsp/indicators06/ch1.htm
Welfare should be supplemental, it should not be something people can depend on. It should be given as a factor of what they are acheiving themselves, and it should reduce as time goes on to give an incentive to get off. When a woman see having babies as getting a raise, and by giving extra benifits to stay unmarried the system is fucked. They should get the same benefits if they are married right now. The current system is a disincentive to marraige.
PURE flamebait here
PURE speculation there. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Please forgive my misuse of blockquote, I am not as proficient as you.
I know exactly what abortion means... And what they have suggested passing under an abortion is currently called homicide. That's their point. They want to be able to murder a child AFTER it's born, but not be held responsible for homicide. They are looking to cover there ass for the children that survive the partial birth abortion and labor induced abortion. Right now, the doctors can get a malpractice suit for a botched abortion.
tax the upper and upper middle class to death to make sure they don't become as powerful as the ones in charge (obama) put forth the fairness doctrine so people can not speak their mind without being punshed for it. (liberals, you will suffer too, again, this is to keep the powerful, powerful) destroy our right to carry weapons (so we will never have the change to have a violent revolution) KEEP DOWN the poor by making them dependant on welfare (oh, if you make more than $X, we're not giving you free money any longer) pass ANY liberal agenda that they want, like the recent desires to allow abortion soon AFTER birth, as if partial birth wasn't enough.
No, you can count on my not helping out with that.
Realize that I don't think this is all doable because we have obama now. It's because we now have Democrats in the whitehouse, senate and house... They can do whatever the fuck they want with this country.
But Obama claims to be a christian too, doesn't that make him a creationist? Intelligent design? Even if he's muslim, he's still a creationist. Your argument holds no water with me.
Basicly your saying don't vote for Vote for Creationist A, because Creationist B actually believes what she says.
1)Cuba's biggest problem is that they're run by a dictator doesn't believe in civil rights, and was, at the time, siding with our communist enemy. 2) I'm native american, I was born here and my parents are, and my grandparents are, and their parents are and so on till about 1800. At that time their parents came from England on one side, and Italy on the other. Those people were immigrants. And I'm not up on my 1800 immigrant law, but I'd bet that back then, you didn't have to have permission to enter the country. And also, by then, it's pretty safe to say they didn't displace any of what used to be incorrectly called "Indians." You really like that sins of the father stuff don't you? Do you think whites should pay retribution (monetary) as well?
read my above comments for more specific conclusions, but I conclude that I don't believe stats that come from a dictator run goverment, nor that these stats are comparing apples to apples.
Cuba doesn't start counting in that mortality rate on day 0 as we do. Cuba aborts babies that are tested to be ill (downs, etc) before birth. Cuba doesn't count premies that die, we do everything possible to keep them alive. And our hospitals are obligated to keep them alive at whatever cost, whether it can be paid for or not. They just let them die, they aren't counted in the mortality calculations.
I've seen that 7/8 number in the past. I've also read that number is inflated due to unhealthy mexican mother running across the border trying to have anchor babies. Many aren't even born in hospitals. Dig up how many citizen born children per 1000 there are and then you'll have a number you can compare to.
Best in "Latin" America, I like how you have to qualify that statement, and go on and say that it's in many ways better than the US. I can say in many ways Nazi germany was better at population control than the rest of europe, that still doesn't make it better.
So you've convienced me, we can all expect to go to the lowest common denominator, and expect life to be like cuba.
Obama's plan should scare you to death if your big. First, lets assume that we will not only have obama, but the house and senate will also be dem.
This may not be your scenario, but it will be for many. 1. You get gov health care. 2. Gov raises taxes on small busisnesses. 3. Your employer discontinues health care because of increased taxes, tells you to use gov care. (Hey, it's better than them firing you.) 4. Goverment says (And this has been kicked around, it's not that far fetched.) "This health care is expensive for out of shape people, lets tell them to get in shape or they don't get care" 5. You don't meet their BMI... you can't get health care.
#4/5 is not something obama plans on doing, but there are some powerful people in the senate who have said they want to do this. Without someone to keep them in check, it's very possible.
With all of the fake ACORN registrations you have the nerve to suggest that there's a problem with Republican voter fraud and not mentioning Democrat voter fraud? Give me a break, there are more registered voters in Mississippi now than there are voting age residents!
From the story, it sounds like the article doesn't even bother to consider a scientific method and all comparisons are apples to oranges (wow, multilevel pun) Glad I didn't waste my time.
and tell me if it's because of: 1. Faster Network access of the device 2. Faster network the device is connected to 3. Faster processor 4. faster browser.

That's just about every pistol sold today. If he got his way, the only guns allowed would be black powder muskets and single shot rifles. Good luck defending yourself from a carjacker with one of those. Even pistols of the 1800's were 'semi-automatic'

Yeah, it's easy to keep that infant mortality rate low when the gov aborts children the test as sick before they're born.
