Actually there are many more car companies then people realize. There are of course the Big Three then there are also Toyota which is becoming the largest car manufacturer worldwide. There are also three Korean companies that are expanding. China is getting ready to start mass manufacturing automobiles as well. There are companies in France, Germany, and other countries in Europe as well that manufacture cars. In South America Argentina has car producers as well. If a comparision is drawn between MMORPGs and Automobile Manufacturing then it can be seen that yes there were many companies at one time then a few, and now finally more are emerging to keep up with demand. MMORPGs are very popular in the US but are equally popular in Asia as well which is expanding very swiftly. I would guess that MMORPGs will start to have more competition from the non USA companies. In fact this can be seen already with many of the Korean MMORPGs that have been released. SilkRoad Online is a good example of this. The world is becoming smaller and more and more people are getting connected to the internet. Demand for online games will continue to climb, but will face competition from a many different areas. It'll be exiting to see what the future holds for online gameplay.
Actually overall ice depth in the Antarctic regions has steadily increased with the exception of one small ice shelf. Scientists have concluded that will all the C02 emissions from cars and factories it is still a microscopic amount. Michael Crichton does some in depth research and wrote a very provoking article upon environmentalism. You can read it here Enivronmentalism as Religion. As for SUV's not selling as well you can blame the increase in gasoline prices as the cause of that. The earth is in a natural warming period, what we have done since the Industrial Revolution has only increased the C02 slightly, which was on the rise before then. We do need to be careful of the resources we have, they are limited, but to say the earth is coming to an end anytime soon is silly. Check the research!
Why do you attack Christian beliefs? I am a Christian and I don't see why everyone thinks its ok or justifiable to attack Christain beliefes just because they don't belive the same way or don't like Christians. If I was to say something similar regarding evolution or some other thing several people would immedietly mark the post troll or something similar. Please take into consideration other people's beliefes before ranting off on them.
I work part-time at a grocery store over the summers. We acually didn't handle the cards, the entire process was done by the custome at the machine. Many cashiers in stores anymore don't even touch the card. I think it'd be fairly easy to pass a stolen credit card at a store. The best thing to do if you card gets stolen to report it becuase 9 times out of 10 the cashier won't check the card unless it's denied.
What about the fact that people with extreme views on science change the life of everyone to suit their needs? Case in point such theories as evolution. Many Christian's are views as intolerent or closed minded when it comes to such theories. However I myself am a Christian and have examined both Creationism and Evolution and came away with the view that Creationism is the more logical view. I view the people who support extreme scientific views and feel that their duty in life is to convert as many people as possible to that view as the one's who are close minded.
Here's a quick link to the wikipedia entry on Mensa.
