What world is this that you expect no kids in a R rated movie? Around here, R rated movies are filled with kids. Remember, R does not mean they are not allowed, it means they need to be with a parent. Well, one parent pulls up in a minivan, disgorges 10 teenagers out of it, buys them all tickets to that R movie, and drives away. When I saw Saving Private Ryan at the theater, I was treated to not one, but 2 different running commentaries on the movie, one by a 4 year old boy behind me, and another by a bout 6 year girl in front of me, both with parents there encouraging the discussions! I do not go to the theater anymore, and it is not cause of the price, parking, movies, etc, it is 100% because of the assholes in the audience. The past 10 movies I have seen (over a course of 4 years) were all ruined experiences due to inconsiderate assholes.
Since they don't know where the oil is, because they haven't been allowed to look, they will have to perform extension exploration in the area to decide exactly where to drill. That exploration requires many vehicles driving over the tundra in a large grid pattern. That is where most of the environmental damage will come from.
Tell me about it. I downloaded the demo for Doom 3, and then ID wouldn't give me the rest of the game for free! Or not even at a substantial discount! What assholes! Heck, I downloaded the demo for FEAR. Are they going to sell me the rest of the game for $10 now?
Basically, you are bitching cause it isn't free, and you can't play offline. They call it ONLINE for reason, idiot.
Again, why wasn't McVeigh held indefinately without trial. They could have based on your interpretation. Because he was a member of a "freelance military-type unit."
Here again you are taking your experience, on a single server, with a few people, and applying it to the entire game. I guarentee "most" people in WoW are not racist. Have you interacted with every person on every server? Then you cannot make a statement like that.
So you think "most" people in WoW are racist, fine. Don't play. Why do you hang out in places where "most" of the people there offend you?
Oops, forgot something.
Who the hell are you to say that "most" of the players are racist? Have you logged on to all the servers, spoken to every player to confirm their racist status or not? Then you don't have the information required to make a claim like that. Sure a few are, but most? Get real!
Who would have thought that if you put a couple of thousand people together, anonymously, that a few might be racist! Say it ain't so! I bet a few are gay too! Save the children!
You gather any group of people together, and you are going to get all kinds of attitudes, beliefs etc. Part of living in society. Deal with it.
So it is ok for Presidents to lie as long as they are not under oath? Clinton lied about a BJ, Bush lied for justification for war. But since Clinton was under oath, he was almost impeached, but since Bush only lied during the State of the Union address, and numerous press conferences, but wasn't under oath, it is ok?
If that is the case, all Presidents should be required to swear an oath before any speech or press conference.
Love his newest lie. Before, he said he would fire anyone "involved" in the Plame leak (said on 3 seperate occasions), now he will only fire anyone "who commited a crime." Big difference, and more lies.
Are you even capable of watching, hearing or reading a work of fiction without your head expoding? Do you enjoy any fiction at all? Cause if it has to be 100% accurate and 100% plausible, there isn't much left. Been to the movies lately?
Amen brother!
I agree 100%. And kids today don't understand. The world of the 70's is just as alien to them as the world of 40's was to us.
Look at it this way. To a kid born in 1995, the Vietnam War is as far into the past as WW2 was for me, born in 1965.
I can assure you that "we'll see some real interesting shit" long before gas prices hit $20 a gallon. You don't seem to realize HOW MUCH this country relies on cheap gas. Our entire economy and infrastructure rely on it. We'll see some serious shit once it hits $5. Peak oil is real and happening.
Man, can't believe someone would pay $15 a month to play a game they obviously hate so much.
BTW, I have experienced none of the problems you mention above...with the exception of a small, 15 minute wait for the BG...
I always read posts like this with a smile on my face. Anyone who played EQ, and was repeatedly punched in the face by SOE probably feels the same way. Blizzard has had their share of problems, but they in no way show the kind of contempt for their customers that SOE had.
I know it isn't the best arguement to say that "Hey, at least they are not the worst!" But, hey, at least they are not the worst!
Guys like this is why it is called World of Whining, like mentioned above. My guess is that you play an Alliance warlock. Mellow out, warlocks are screwed for both sides, only difference is WOTF, and that ain't the end all and be all that Alliance seem to think it is.
If the horde is so damn easy, why don't you reroll?
I totally disagree with you, having played both, Alliance is easier. I find that players are generally better on the Horde side, though.

So you are going to continue to PAY for EQ because at one time you could play a free trial, and because Blizzard won't let you play WoW for free?
Makes sense...
when a crackpot popped up in Wacko, Texas
I thought he was from Crawford, Texas...
Why is there no issue killing innocent life, for example a Iraqi or Afghani civilian, but a big issue when a fetus is killed?
Again, why wasn't McVeigh held indefinately without trial. They could have based on your interpretation. Because he was a member of a "freelance military-type unit."
What war?
Has Congress issued an official declaration of war?

Drink that Koolaide down!
"it's Al Qaeda and the Baathists - the very people some on the left would like to see us turn the country over to."
Don't you realize how stupid you look making a statement like that?
Man, guess I can't handle the real world since I spend 30+ hours a week restoring my house.
Asshat.

Star Wars must give you convulsions.
If you don't like it, don't watch it!
Wow, don't even know how to respond to such a hateful diatribe.
Nice one about the chemical weapons, particularly mustard gas. You do know that the United States supplied him with those chemical weapons he used on Iran and the Kurds? Good ole Donald Rumsfeld himself visited Saddam while he was gassing the Kurds. http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename= article&node=&contentId=A52241-2002Dec29¬Found= true
sorry couldn't get auto-link to work.
Or when that "If you don't agree with me you are a terrorist" nutcase is in charge of the Republicans (and the country in this case).

I am scared for this country if you are an example of our "future."

I agree 100%. The only people I know who still play EQ feel the same way. They love being uber with best gear etc, and don't want to "start over."
The entire game must be composed of all level capped characters...
