  1. Not all of their colonies together, but the USA in 1770 was about as well known as Latvia is now. (Maybe most of the UK know it but here very little people do)
  2. And to be honest with you all, I can see why you might think Nationalized Healthcare is a good idea, but here's 2 things for the USA. 1) 12% of the country would still be left without insurance. 2) That's breaking the very basis of what our country was founded on, and how we came from some tiny colony of Britain to the World's Biggest Superpower.

    Wow, I'm very pleased that you would think of nominating me for that. :)

  4. Also because they've bought our half of our country with all the money we've spent through them.
  5. But whether there are or aren't in your country, in this country, there are many people who are too lazy to buy healthcare, or hide a disease once they get it and then get healthcare right away. Some people are too lazy to work or buy healthcare, and so with nationalized healthcare we're paying for those who were too lazy to get it for themselves in the first place, but had plenty of money to do so. Plus, it is estimated that under Barack Obama's Healthcare bill, >12% of the country will remain without healthcare.
  6. @ Spaz Actually, just as much would be taken out, if not more. The cost of our private healthcare would be gone, but lo and behold, there's the cost of still having to pay for our healthcare through additional taxes, plus having to pay part of everyone else's healthcare, again through yet more taxes.
  7. Why go out with a bang? Everyone is going out, so there'll be absolutely no one to remember you going out with a bang. If we don't get our acts together that may end up happening. Although likely not as soon as 2050 and hopefully by then we'd find more ways to get fresh water. I don't understand why people see this as a problem. Haven't we had the same amount of water for a hell of a lot of time? I am decently sure that we can't physically lose water.... Well we can't physically lose it but we can sure as hell pollute it.
  8. So isn't that technically a minor case of terrorism?
  9. It's not just gun control, it's weapons control in general. Sounds like your country needs more knife control. How about we get a graph that tells us murders every year based on population?
  10. Which is why we need a stronger judicial system. There is no need for knives in every home, (other than kitchen knives of course ) just what I said before.
  11. I don't really hate Spaz, just dislike, often greatly. :)

  12. Well I would put you on my favorite list if they would let me edit my profile. :P Plus they deleted my whole hate list, and I can't remember everybody I hate :(

    Just Gerard, steveplayer, maybe Spaz.

    I think the only mod/admin I really like is Sherman :P

    Hello Guys

    Definitely pin this topic.
  14. lol ok how it's goin', restricted and all?

  15. I had a feeling someone would say something like that.
  16. And that's exactly what it will be like here if our new Healthcare bill goes through.

    GTA: Capitol City

    They could do like they did in The Ballad of Gay Tony and let you go back and replay any mission unpon demand. This game would also let you select a time once you had beaten the game.
  18. They anticipate that within 9 months they'll start profiting from software and from manufacturing costs that keep dropping.
  19. And sorry for the double post, but again, I don't have an edit button because I'm a dickhead who got half my rights taken away. Oh well! On the topic of firearms, I do think that pistols and other handguns should still be fairly well controlled. But the people who own a .22 caliber rifle for small game hunting, recreational shooting out in the field behind their house, our even just a cool old gun to look at, should not have their guns taken away.
  20. That's what we did with Japan in World War 2, and brought a quick end to the war. Had we not, I guarantee that lots more innocent civilians would have died from the effects of the continuing war. And you know what else? The tax here is ridiculous. I live in a moderate income family, and ~33% of my Dad's paycheck was taken out for taxes.
  21. Oh. Yeah, no idea what the problem is. Did you update the game before or after the no CD Crack? Or not at all? Check to see what version of the game the crack was made with.
  22. Well, for all those who have gone out to buy the new PS3 Slim, you'll see that it is clearly a very light, efficient variant of the original PS3. Marketed at $299 USD, it appears that even though their manufacturing costs are roughly half of what they used to be, Sony if still seeing a loss of nearly $38 dollars for every PS3 Slim they sell. Looks as if what you're getting in that box is still a pretty sweet deal. Source
  23. More news on this subject, apparently instead of Intel naming their 6-core Gulftown CPUs as 'Core i9' a recent release by PCOnline shows that this new family will be kept within the Core i7 family. Source Personally this makes me wonder what they will put into the i9 slow (if anything) and if their line of Next-Generation Dual-Core CPUs will really be the i3, or if they will be the i5-xxx with the last 3 numbers being lower.
  24. If we don't get our acts together that may end up happening. Although likely not as soon as 2050 and hopefully by then we'd find more ways to get fresh water.
  25. Don't take any of this personal, but here's an overview of all my views of politics. As far as ethics and morals go, I'm about as conservative as you can get. For government, I think that the popular vote needs to be enacted more, not just elected some guy and having him take over the whole country. Local government is very important in my opinion. Like our constitution says, the Federal government is responsible for controlling interstate commerce, not intrastate commerce, as is currently happening. Free trade and a government by the people and for the people is what this country is based on. On the issue of the economy, I'm mostly in the middle, but I don't agree with most of what we did in our big Bailout bill. The environment, to the surprise of most of you, I'm pretty liberal on this one. I think that pollution, and using up resources is a major problem, along with our dependence of foreign oil. However, I don't believe in global warming. For his Master's Thesis in Atmospheric Science, my Father wrote a paper on how the same factors that cause global warming can also cause global cooling, which was published in a Scientific Journal in Colorado roughly 15 years ago. Immigration, I'm pretty mixed. I like all the people coming here, but don't expect us all to cater to you if you can't speak English, like the gov't's idea about making Spanish learning mandatory in schools. I don't think Christianity should be taught in schools, but when Obama tells the Turkish leader that we're not a Christian nation, he's smoking shit. Our country was founded on a Judeo-Christian basis, and one of Washington's most important goals was to make sure that every school had a bible in it. It doesn't need to be forced on the students, but the tools should be there. For the war over in Iraq and Afghanistan, I saw bomb them all. (Sorry, that's really what I think) Giving the 911 terrorists a full rights trial in NY is beyond ridiculous. It was ruthless, unprovoked act of terrorism on the very idea of what our country was founded on. Police need to be given more power, along with a stricter judicial system. Gun Control needs to be loosened however. Every citizen of the US has the right to own a gun. That was one of the ten most important things written into our constitution. The right to bear arms is basically like one of the Ten Commandments of the constitution. Welfare needs to be cut down a lot, and many people need to get off their lazy asses and go get a job. Government spending and ruthless taxing to make up for it needs to stop before China ends up owning our country because of all the debt we've funneled into them. As for technology, the Government needs to spend less money on worthless shit such as a few million bucks to study some fish in a stream in San Francisco, along with dehydrating all of California and ruining their local farm market in order to funnel water to save a couple thousand of those fish, that live in plenty of other places and won't go extinct. Education laws need to be enforced, being more strict to make sure that everybody goes to school. Money needs to be put in (Despite everything else they've spent money on, they forgot this) to help repair schools and get better, stricter teachers. The government should not be socializing our country by buying stocks in companies and taking over the Healthcare system. You all already know what I think about abortion and why, I'm not gonna elaborate. As far as big corporations go, our laws against monopoly and trusts (etc . . .) will do just fine without all the extra regulation bologna. (Bologna . . . )
