Reply to Higgins Lake Road Ends in Politics JoeUser Forums

I feel like the rules write themselves. Obstructing access to the lake should be illegal. Abandoning your boat on the water means it's no longer your property and can be possessed by scavengers. Who is benefiting from these laws, and how long will it take the rest of them to figure out it's not really benefitting them, but mucking up their lake and their rights to it? You can let it be decided at the local level, but eventually people will notice that t

The people here, who use the infrastructure to be successful now, would have been successful without it, because these are the individuals that would come up with a way to get it done without infrastructure, or on a more local level, or something. They may use roads and bridges, but without them, they would have still got it done. Because they are people who get things done. And back when the roads and bridges weren't there, these people went ahead, and

Reply to Hate takes a permanent Vacation in Current Events JoeUser Forums

He goes through a lot of 'facts' from his perspective... Chick-Fil-A is hate... blah blah blah... that's all fine. Whatever. But when he says he doesn't know how she lives with herself, now he's projecting his beliefs onto another person. That's very rude. What exactly did he get fired for, though?

Reply to Obama: Lets See the Certificate in Politics JoeUser Forums

I don't know whether he's proved it or not. If he hasn't, he should have to. But I would be very surprised to find that someone could run for President and be ineligible. How did he get on each state's ballot?

Reply to Outsourcing for me but not for thee in Politics JoeUser Forums

No they aren't. The companies are driven to outsource to China because in the USA, other companies buy based on price. So having the lowest price gets you business. I work for an international company. The Europeans in the company are always selling on quality and special features. They can do that. They ask questions of us, like, "How much will your customers pay for Italian design?" "Zero." It blows them away. So we start making st

WE the people gave Government the power. So we OWE the government because they didn't just steal our money for themselves? We OWE the Government for doing their jobs that they were paid for? We OWE the government because they built the roads as we paid for them, and the infrastructure, instead of enriching themselves with the money they taxed from us? The government owes US its existence. It owes US it's power. It owes US those roads, that infrast

Reminds me of the parents who think their kids should be indebted to them for 'all they've done for them'. Well, if you've spent 18 years with me, and haven't given me any reason to love and respect you, I don't think I owe you much at all. It's a last ditch effort to exert control over someone - call something that isn't really a debt a debt, and make them owe you.

Reply to Movies vs Animated Movies in Movies & TV & Books JoeUser Forums

[quote who="starkers" reply="9" id="3197419"]Most movies coming out of Hollywood these days are as dull as last year's dishwater... and for some that's being kind. However, I didn't mind the Ice Age animated movies. Now those were more entertaining than many of the 'so-called' blockbusters put together.[/quote] Those are so funny. Just saw Ice Age 4 at the drive-in. It helps to have young kids with you to giggle uncontrollabl

Reply to PC Game Deals Thread in PC Gaming JoeUser Forums

I was torn between buying old Sins and the GalCiv bundle. The problem is, I only need Twighlight of the Arnor - I already bought the others. So, repaying for them just seems silly... then, Sins would be complete but incomplete without Rebellion... so I just didn't buy anything. Well, I did get Tropico 3 and FS-Red.

Reply to Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown in PC Gaming JoeUser Forums

I play Aoi and Shun Di, because I believe they're the two most fun characters to play. The different stances vs. the completely different style from other characters really makes them shine to me. However, then the really quick characters tend to do very well against me. The Bryants and the, hmm, I don't remember the father/daughter pairing's names, but they are very fast and can come get me.
