"Richard Nixon national heatlh care "system." Wasn't it Lyndon Johnson who brought us Medicare and Medicaid? Whatever health care system is invisioned for the brave new world we are heading into, you can rest assured it will ebenfit the super rich and elite more than us peons. John P. Holdren, the Obmaa Science Czar advocates no more health care for old people. Of Course, if you are an elitist at the top, you get billions spent on you just to live a few more days.&

We want our leaders to bicker and fight. If they are bickering and fighting amongst themnselves than they aren't passing more oppressive laws. Indeed, the founding fathers of the USA intended on lots and lots of fighting amongst the 3 government branches.

For the Right: where were you when Bush was passing the Patriot Act? Patriot Act good but emergency control of the internet bad? For the Left: where you when Bush was being compared to Hitler? Bush = Hitler = good but Obama = Hitler = bad?

bingo. This is how you fight piracy. You blow the individuals out of the water, but you don't punish everyone with DRM. Instead of wasting money on DRM, companies should hire hackers to find these pirates and punish them severely. Punish the individual scum but not the innocent.

[quote who="Micah" reply="10" id="2130781"] Just because you live in a world that doesn't have any free markets doesn't mean you can't strive and fight to get closer to that (instead of further away). [/quote] AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a Republican conservative, but I see the limitations of the free market. Complete unfettered free market capitalism leads to Time Warner's current atrocity, similar to how the various tycoons of past lore worked children to death for pennies a day in payment. Some Government intrusion to lay the smack down on greedy companies is necessary, the key is a happy balance. Lately, government has been a little too intrusive for my liking, but Time Warner ought to be put i

Bring the company to its knees and boycott the service. Either that or don't download much. Contact customer service and drive them up the wall. If African Americans can live without bus service in the wake of the heroic action taken by Rosa Parks, you can live without internet except what is absoutely needed for a job, etc. Fight or complain, your choice.

Forgive me for being lazy, but aren't there detailed editer manuals for all of the different editors that shipped with Twighlight of the Arnor?

[quote who="GW Swicord" reply="2" id="2024547"]AG3 is correct about military and social production. Oddly, though, research is unaffected by hostile environments. [/quote] Maybe its like the Dregin research philosophy. People reasearch better in hostile envionments. The threat of death is a powerful motivator. LOL, with Dregin, it is "be creative or die".

[quote] Eventually, I carted my full tower case over 1 km by foot to be able to activate my game electronically. I almost got mugged. Thanks for that, by the way.

[quote]Okay boys and girls, before this goes too far without a bit of eye witness reporting. I've been to Iraq as a soldier and many US servicemen think that we should cut and run. Those are the guys and girls that came over after the beginning of the war. I was there right after the beginning, for thirteen and a half months, and I had the honor to be there when our bulldozers dug up the mass graves. I got to see the skeletons of men, women, and children (even babies people) come rolling out of

From my understanding, in the U.S, you guys don't know dirt about other people's culture and also think you yourselves are the greatest nation and the most powerful in the world.

[quote]If you wanna discuss the atomic bombings of Japan, that really deserves a thread entirely its own. There are very compelling arguments on both sides.[/quote] What discussion? The mother f@#$% attacked us first. They didn't even have the honor to announce their attack. It was a sneak attack. Sneak attacks break the laws of warfare. Using atomic bombs might also be against the laws. But what the hell? The laws at that point were completely out the window. You break

[quote] EA has finally invoked the boycott button. I'm fine if you use DRM in a purchased product. If it really bothers me, I'll get a crack or find a workaround. But, the Spore Creature Creator demo contains Securom, an overly-potent DRM solution that phones home without any grounds for suspicion. I steer clear of malware on my computer, but now I've discovered that even EA cannot be trusted. You have my boycott notice, EA. I may even pirate a copy of Spore, j
