    You're right. Obama isn't batshit crazy. Just everyone who he associates with is. Before you flame do your homework. :) (Moderators especially)

  7. Re:They just want more taxes on When Politicians Tax Violent Video Games · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Anytime they (as in government) can label someone as a victim they see a reason to tax and in turn desire control.

  8. Guess what on When Politicians Tax Violent Video Games · · Score: 1

    Every tax the government does to companies, gets paid by the consumer. I recommend reading the Fair Tax book by congressman Jon Linder and Neal Boortz. http://www.fairtax.org/ It's astounding reading how many things have imbedded costs to items due to taxes that get passed off to the consumer. Cap and Trade will tax businesses for the consumption of energy they use and guess what happens? They raise the price of their product to pay for the tax increase. Guess what video game developers are going to do now?

  9. I know the name on NASA To Announce Module Name On Colbert Show · · Score: 5, Funny

    If I see this on Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe, I'll give it a reason to be dirty.

  13. It's gotta go somewhere. on Antarctic Ice Bridge Finally Breaks Off · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty positive that the reason this ice shelf broke off is that there is an over-abundance of ice and with all that new ice forming, some of it has to go somewhere. Here, do the numbers yourself : http://nsidc.org/cgi-bin/bist/bist.pl?no_panel=1&annot=1&legend=1&scale=75&tab_cols=2&tab_rows=2&config=seaice_index&submit=Refresh&mo0=01&hemis0=S&img0=extn&mo1=01&hemis1=S&img1=conc&year0=2009&year1=1980&.cgifields=no_panel

  18. Re:Just like arsenic keeps you healthy on Obama Picks Net Neutrality Backer As FCC Chief · · Score: 1

    >>>Did the government tell them to make the loans?

    As a matter of fact, yes it did. The Democrats pushed through legislation requiring banks to make "no down payment" loans in order to extend housing to as many low-income Americans as possible, and that idiot Bush signed it. (He also signed the stupid anti-bankruptcy law authored by democrat Biden.) So the answer to your question is "yes".

    Mod'ed as a troll? This is fact. Moderators need to do some homework before getting their panties in a bunch.

  19. Octopi\Octopus is synonymous with Mage\Magi.... on Octopuses Have No Personalities and Enjoy HDTV · · Score: 1

    Is it really that big of a #$#%ing deal? I used to see this on the Mage forums on WOW. Hey fellow Mages! MAGI!!! IT'S MAGES!!! MAGI!!!
