Little less known, they are trying to keep satellite capabilities when the Rifts apocalypse comes. (courses, it could all still be destroyed, you know a wizard.. ahem, I mean a techno-wizard did it).

Tell that to Katrina Victims.. and yes, I know the Flood Policy deal. But, there were people that loss whole houses to WIND ONLY and I am sorry, floods don't blow roofs away. Oh.. there was water in the wind so it doesn't count? WTF?
Wow.. only on slashdot. The geekest thread I've ever read on fish. Goes to show... US population is dragging Slashdot's IQ down (myself included). But, really.. were just bitter.
>> but the true source of the problem are the parents and popular culture. American culture glorifies the celebrity and the athlete.
Bingo... that is basically the summary of the whole thing (and the same reason I give, including referencing other cultures). The only other part I would add it is much just telling the kids how important self-confidence can be. If you keep thinking people are born smart/dumb (exception: real learning disabilities) and you feel dumb, well your brain will guide you down that path. My mom was an LD teacher in a poor part of town (while my family of course was in one of the best - if not the best - in the state). Probably 75-80 of her kids were just ones that didn't give a shit, because like you said, their parents didn't give a shit, or weren't home because they work 2 jobs/shifts.
That's probably the opinion of a lot of us that grew up in 80/90s comic era. For better or worse, everything had to be darker and edgier then. But in defense what could you do, the Captain America/Superman/White Knight archetype does not respond well to more robust characterization since they themselves are so "singularly" purposed (that did make Superman vs Batman decent but a little overplayed). The other problem is that in real life, those type of moral high-horse people are usually really hypocrites and it's a rare treat to meet the ones that bump this convention. Oh, Captain America hasn't had a war worth fighting for since WWII anyways (on the US side). He should have stayed frozen until America is the gov't of the people and not that of the Corporations

After all, it's Driver ... so if you been around for 12 years, you've already played it.
Hell, I didn't even know they still made Driver games... It would feel like raiding a Sampan with a Dreadnought.
They are trying to creates those dogs from Call of Duty's kino der toten level. Grab your shotgun.
You resisted the urge to make a "try the special of the day" remark. +1
>> It's equivalent to using a print statement
Imagine what will happen when we have a remote kernel debugger?
Then bring a bucket to pick up the lava of course. Let's just hope nobody gets past the bedrock.
>> The other one's keeping quiet.
I've heard he's a bit paranoid (rightfully so I might add). Honestly, you don't want to talk to him. He's a complete downer.

We're all friends here, we know you mean heat boobs.
Lesson: Insurance (the House) always wins.

I wish the US had a ONE term limit. Then it would never be about getting reelected.
If you're unable to convert slug to kg, lbf to Newton, ft/s to m/s, you shouldn't be involved in engineering.
Yea, it's called google.
Report "Anonymous Coward" too ... He can be a real ass (then somedays completely level) ... maybe he needs to take his meds.
Actually, Jerkface87 is pretty cool and level headed. Works at a humane society and volunteers for the elderly.
Up mod: the Red Letter Media reviews for those that haven't seem .. hilarious, and pizza rolls.
Too bad they never said "You know, screw the wars.".

Hitting detractors of art with space debris, allways a classic.
Yup .... Cosmo (Sneakers) was right (aka The Strawman Has a Point).

Damn that number! It always makes an appearance.
Yea, Space Victory is very lame anyways... domination is the only way to go.
Yea, you can't do that combo ..
