If I could ask someone on the inside. I'm thinking about placing a bet on how many of the following states McCain will win. [quote]George Bush won each of these 'Six-Pack' states in 2004. How many can McCain hold onto? (Six-Pack states = Colorado,Florida,Nevada,North Carolina,Ohio,Virginia)[/quote] I tempted to bet either 1 or 2. Leaning toward one (Virginia) but not sure about Florida?
[quote who="EviliroN" reply="8" id="1925160"]lol, the british take over again. [/quote] Would it be so bad? No just pay your taxes and don't worry about representation. It only leads to arguments anyway. Except Utah. We don't really fancy that one.
No... Don't bother voting, just give up with this silly idea of electing your own leaders and the British will take over again. Your all be much happier when you don't have to worry. We will dispatch a new viceroy as soon as you agree to capitulate.
[quote who="EviliroN" reply="11" id="1924001"]by the sound of it, Brits would probably love California. they're nuts over on the "Left-Coast"[/quote] I'm right wing, I'm just not foaming at the mouth "zomg the government is trying to get me", "I need an armoury" type right wing. Reminds me of talking to one American, he argued that the 2nd admendment says the peoples right is to bear 'arms' not 'guns', so he was entitled to own mo
Quite a contrast to the UK then. Here politicians keep quiet about their faith in case it makes them look like a bit woolly headed. I wouldn’t say any hide it, but they certainly don’t talk about it either. The only time I hear about religion in politics here is when it is applied to Muslims. That’s only because of the extremist minority that feel blowing up bits of public transport might be a good idea.
[quote who="psychoak" reply="5" id="1922373"] If someone had assassinated Hitler early on instead of "talking" to him, one hell of a mess would have been avoided. [/quote] A very dangerous simplification to make. Its always easy to vilify an individual. But one man alone could not have held the sway he did. At the time Germany was suffering economically and was humiliated by the terms of the peace after WWI. The country could have easily have

You would be a Rudi Guilani Republican he fits your views almost exactly. [/quote] Interesting. Of course I know who he is but never really got into his politics in any detail because just as he was becoming interesting he dissappeared from the race. I have been watching
[quote who="GW Swicord" reply="11" id="1898700"] I think what you might be missing is that compared to the UK, we have a dysfunctional party system. [/quote] My loose understanding of US politics is that moderates are often squesed out, and that the extremist tend to be better surviviors.

Kyro, I could point out that their are 176 death from firearms every day, so absoultly yes, more than a daily occurance. I'm using the New York times here as my source. However, we could go round in circles on this one which would'nt be particularly productive. Instead I would be interest on your take, specifically: Do you feel the 2nd admendment is correctly applied? Do you feel gun legislation is too soft or too hard?
[quote who="Silverbeacher" reply="6" id="1898657"] Both major parties are very liberal when it comes to government control- the main point being which aspect of life do you want controlled? The Democrats govermentize (control) the economic and international aspects of a nation; while Republicans seek to control the moral/social code. [/quote] Quite, and well put. I suppose I agree. As an economist I find the economic control (or mismanagmen
Kyro: I admit I am not familiar with your gun laws. Yet self evidently with the frequent office and school massacres stories we receive your legislation is deeply flawed. I know that an outright ban is impossible, as you point out in your nation criminals would still get their hands on weapons, your southern boarder allows in plenty of drugs, its not hard to imagine weapons as well in the effect of prohibition. Perhaps in lieu of knowing more I would be for 'effective' regulat
[quote who="kryo" reply="1" id="1898595"] Not a surprising view from a Tory (historically having been the party of monarchists), but it's kinda important to us given that having weapons is what allowed us to throw off the monarchy in the first place. [/quote] I understand at the time it was a good idea, you chaps can't have the British keep turning up and burning the Whitehouse down after all. But that was a long time ago. Th
I've been wondering what I would be if I was an American. In Blighty I'm a pretty straight down the line Tory. And what with the US being the superpower it is I'm exposed to quiet a lot of US political stuff. I know that my views translate pretty neatly into the republican party, since I agree with them about 100% on foreign policy, economic policy and largely on domestic policy. There are however a few differences. I while I agree on Nuclear, I don't agree just pumping
[quote who="DethAdder" reply="14" id="1871569"] EA will keep on not getting it and blaming low sales on Piracy instead of their own DRM which forces people to piracy. At this point it is obvious they will continue this route and as long as that's the way they do business then I wouldn't feel a slight bit of remorse in cracking/pirating their software.

Sheesh![/quote] In our evolution there was very much a link from stage to stage. Compare modern humans to what we evoluved from 1m years ago and you would see a great deal of commonality. Then compare that to 1m years before and so on back, your see a graduale progress. <
ManSh00ter your absoultly correct. I turned my ape like creature into a T-rex like creature into a Chamachie (your my kind of gamer if you know what they are)</s
[quote who="schekker" reply="15" id="1868594"]I'm with KingBingo on the DRM. A game which only allows three activations (and one extra if you are lucky on the phone) is simply a no-go for me.

[quote who="pndrev" reply="14" id="1868549"] Sims (like Spore) are about setting goals for yourself, trying things out in a giant sandbox and not having to worry about winning or loosing. [/quote] And Sims acomplishes that goal. But Spore for me at least does not. The creature, tribal and the civilisation stage are just so narrow in scope that there really is so little to do you have to just get past them. At no stage barring the

[quote who="Dubaian" reply="21" id="1853358"]Do you have any UK or Aus bases? [/quote] I'm setting up their UK office for them shortly. I'm just waiting for them to make me an offer I can't refuse.
I'm thinking which would be worse if it was coming for you. Terminator I guess. But if you happen to be out on a small boat the Jaws would be the scaryist. Although I admit it would suddenly get a great deal less scary once you got back on shore.
The best credits I saw I think were for Portal. If I am remembering this correctly the credits were snaps of the various bodies knocking around the office and the credits just pointed out who they were and their title. Makes the credits watchable when you get that sort of personal touch, a bunch of faces you can connect with, espacially when you see them in the enviroment in which they spend hundreds of hours making the game you love. Then if your
I think I might be just what you need. [B]Here is the check list: 1. Work in Plymouth Michigan. We're near Ann Arbor Michigan. Seriously. We get lots of people saying how great they can "work from remote". We already have lots of remote people. We need people here.[/B] I would be willing to move to Plymouth England. You probably need a UK office anyway. [B] 2. If you're a developer, you need to know C++ (at the very least) on Visual Studio. We don't car

I loved Atlantis, its was really starting to come together too. I'm annoyed now. That said Firefly was superb and that only made one season. As for that monstrosity Enterprise??? How the hell did that manage 5 sessions when all of them were garbage.
