I'm glad that our legal system is so wonderful, and that justice will prevail in all cases, and that the amount of money you're able to pour into a lawsuit will have nothing to do with the outcome in the end.

[quote who="louist" reply="9" id="3218198"]No, just length and width. That said, I love multistory rooms and grand halls. All of my fortresses have them at the expense of less desirable things such as farms or bedrooms.[/quote] Bummer. I built it anyway. They all have bedrooms, too, though. This is because I don't have to worry about military, because I'm poor. Very poor. No metals, only stones. Trading away stone blocks, stone crafts, etc

Why do they do that? How do the Democrats at all stand for what the papers stand for? Why does the reporter's stance matter? Did they pay more for the coverage?

I looove Tropico. Just downloaded Dwarf Fortress again, though. Going to try to build something epic and then die. So far, though, I've always lost interest before dying. This time it MUST be different. Do Dwarfs care if they have multi-story rooms? I tried to build a Great Hall 5 stories deep, all underground, last time.

Reply to Let's talk about tipping in Consumer Issues JoeUser Forums

I like the tipping system, because it gives money into the hands of the people who are doing the work. It lets the consumer receiving the service decide how much it was worth. I tend to tip 20%, higher for good service.

Reply to The effects of working long hours–my story in Business JoeUser Forums

I've never agreed with you or anyone else working long hours. I'm glad you finally got some perspective. You are not a robot. You program robots. I've always thought you had a lot right but not that bit.

I hope Brad decides to fight this one. I mean, he just renamed Entrepreneur 2 to The Corporate Machine when Entrepreneur magazine sued over the use of their name. Didn't have the resources to fight that sort of suit then, though.

Reply to What would you do if you were the President? in Republican JoeUser Forums

I would enforce our laws. Meanwhile, I would try to get congress to change their spending habits. It seems they're spending money we don't have, and that's not going to work.

Reply to Fun with The Political Machine 2012 in PC Gaming JoeUser Forums

Reality is reality. For example, people perceived the Earth was flat. The circumnavigator wasn't coming back. Then he did, from the other direction. The world didn't suddenly become spherical.

But I agree, that to one person, perception tends to become their reality... not in truth, but to them, th
