  1. Of course Clinton won in NH. Who expected anything less. She wont win the Democratic nomination. Its already clear who they want to run as their Candidate. The Dems know she'll lose by landslide.
  2. DW6 looks very promising with its overhauled battle system. Endless combos rather than the same two redundant combos. Thats all I can hope for. DW wouldn't be so lame to me if you could do more than two combos.
  3. Damn you! I was hyped for a full length trailer of awesomeness! X'D
  4. 0_o thats the same exact trailer.
  5. LOL. I didn't have a problem with the MGS3 camera. But a lot of my friends just non-stopped bitched about it. X'D I forgot all about that part. I only played through MGS2 like 2 1/2 times. The boss battles were way to easy and I just didn't care too much for it.
  6. MGS2 is the worst of the series. Only Slippers would tell you otherwise. The Raiden character as a whole sucked, which is probably why the revamped him to look more bad ass in the upcoming MGS4. MGS3's story is way better and the game as a whole is probably the best. Make sure you get MGS3: Subsistence, because a lot of people found the non-movable camera angle in the original, annoying and impossible. If you want a recreation of the original that will blow you away, go for MGS: The Twin Snakes for Gamecube. (If you haven't already) Its the Original Metal Gear Solid with Amazing graphics and MGS2 gameplay.
  7. Ratchet and Clank is amazing. I beat it last week. Its not really a challenging game, but it wasn't meant to be. Its a game for anyone that loves to blow a bunch of stuff up with insanely overpowered weapons with hidden area hunting and the occasional puzzle.
  8. Yeah, Its just a shame they didn't find it sooner, instead of digging in some baron trench for microbes they could have been there where the action is. Who knows what could be frozen inside that glacier.
  9. I love it. I thought it was one of Burton's best films. The Music was fine with me, I'm not a big fan of musicals but it brought a lot of humor to it. Everyone is so use to seeing a traditional musical back when they were popular, this was so different and dark.
  10. Apparently he only posed nude for the cover of the video but didn't actually partake in the intercourse. lol He wouldn't be on the show I don't think if that was the case. I remember in the original American Gladiators one of the new female Gladiators was only on for one show, she was released after they discovered she was a Penthouse Pet in one of the magazines.
  11. Thats why I said fully operational. I doubt it could get there driving in reverse. They'll probably send another probe out in 5-8 years.
  12. http://www.iesb.net/index.php?option=com_seyret&Itemid=217&task=videodirectlink&id=383 11 clips from the show!!!
  13. I guess not. I've got a rough work schedule through the holidays and I probably wont be on much. I did enjoy this discussion however. A little intellectual stimulation is always welcomed now and then.
  14. Its amazing how scientists can tell you everything about these planets just by the color they appear in an electron scope. Too bad we don't have the tech to blast a probe over there in our life time. They never did mention anything about that military hypersonic test flight after it was announced it was going to happen last may.
  15. I watched about half of it and that was enough. low budget propaganda that is trying to get viewers, is what that amounts too. It reminds me of those religious nuts that try to tell you the end is coming soon. They are essentially saying that the constitution will be thrown in the trash because of an Identification card. It actually says, if you refuse to have a card, you wont have certain privileges. If you "mess up" you normally have things taken away from you anyways... like your freedom for a few years, and the right to vote and bare arms. Anyone that breaks the law deserves to be punished and refused the rights in which they have infringed on. Anyone can put together a list of why its not good, and everyone only looks at it that way. Its an easy media tactic that works very well. Just the same someone can put together a highlight real of the average football player, by showing every good play he's ever managed to pull off and make him look like a superstar. There is always two sides to everything. I look at both sides on my own and decide where i stand. You cant defend the boarder because people look down on shooting at people trying to cross over. The next best thing is letting them starve when they cant get a job, enter any federal buildings like banks, or even a post office to mail money back. Western Union should require the card as well.
  16. Too bad the rovers weren't still fully operational. It would be nice if they could get them over to that area.
  17. This law came from congress. They voted on the bill and it passed. 2/3rd of both the house and the senate approved of the bill. 1/3 of 50 is 16 rounded down to the nearest tenth. State Legislators are not congress. 0_o What if they did update the SS system? If you lost your card it will have the same results as you feared. I keep all the ID's i have in on place, if i ever did lose them, Id lose them all, wouldn't matter if it was on one card or on many. Its not like I have many. There isn't many to have. I look at a National ID as progress, but thats just me. I've never been one that was satisfied with the status quo.
  18. Iran will have a nuke before 2020. I can already see the headline in the news where they successfully detonate their first test bomb.
  19. The licensing commission is indeed run by each state, but it is all dumped into a national database that every level of law enforcement uses, I forgot the name of it. Any cop in any state can pull up your information based off your license plate. If this wasn't the case, they would never catch criminals that managed to flee the state. By having a national ID card, You can require all business to have their workers registered by their card. Any unauthorized payments to illegal immigrants, minors, or anything else under the table can then be punishable even more harsh that it is now. There is so much potential in the card, that will cut out all the red tape and other BS you have to go through to do anything. It would actually save money and effort in the long run. The Social Security card could serve as a temporary place holder from the time you are an infant to a certain age where you will need to get the ID card. The United States of America is a one power system. The states and the federal government are equal figuratively speaking. The Articles of Confederation never worked, and the nation almost fell apart under it, that is why state government cannot override the federal government. The feds can't infringe on certain state rights, but when it comes down two it they really have more power than the states. And they really reached far down in the cookie jar after the Civil War. There is a literal meaning and then there is how it really is. I'm not saying its right or wrong, but its how it really is. We're fed all these lies in elementary school on about how we are free, and this that and the other. But its nothing like that at all. Its not always best to leave it up to the States, the time before our Constitution is only proof of that. This is was congress is for, states vote their reps in, and they make the decisions.
  20. I'm not trying to change your opinion, I'm defending my own. Not losing you ID card is just as easy as not losing your SS card, simple as that. You're death camp comparison still doesn't relate to the situation. The whole nazi this and nazi that is old and ignorant. No one should compare a simple thing to one of the most horrific events the world has ever seen. A lot of people use it to scare ignorant people off. I leave you with this. The license plate on your car is the equivalent of a national ID card. Any one in a police cruiser can type in those numbers into their computer and it will pull you up in a database and tell them everything they need to know about you. You criminal record, height, weight, SSN, any tickets or warrants you have on you. Its that easy. Imagine what the feds have in their computer system that is tied to your SSN. The card will make no difference in how easy it is. I have yet to lose my SSN card, and I never will. The national ID card would work kind of like a credit card in the sense that your personal info will reside inside a chip in the card. You call a number, and deactivate it upon losing it. I also double checked... my drivers licences has my whole SSN number on it. I've lived in two states since I have gained the right to drive, and both times my entire SSN was listed on the card.
  21. I've voted in every election since I was able to register. Do you have a cell phone? You might as well toss it in the garbage, its one big GPS beacon and the government can easily find you anywhere at anytime. So the government knows what kind of groceries you buy and the video games you own... so? Do you honestly think they'll care to keep track of any of that unless you are person of interest? It will go into some information bank that will never be looked at again. For the record, There was no such thing as Nazi soldiers. the NSDAP was a political party, the professional military was never apart of the party. They only swore an oath to Hitler after President Paul von Hendinburg died, because Hitler got rid of the SA. The Waffen SS was an elite fighting unit separate from the military and they never monitored people. I wish everyone would just stop throwing around the world Nazi like they know everything about it and can compare with anything they disapprove of. Nazi Germany did not actually keep tabs on anyone except for the Jews, Communists, and Foreigners. The basic German population were unaffected, and only the allusion of heavy surveillance was created with propaganda fueled by ones paranoia. A national ID card or RFID chip has nothing to do with the Third Reich, so stop comparing it to it. What southern states? I live in the south and I have heard nothing of this. This is the bible belt, it would create a end of the world scare like no other, unless its taking place in Florida. The only place I know such tech is being used is the ultra rich in Cali. It only carries your medical information at that. Its being tested else were for animal tagging. If you lost your card, it could be replaced, just like your social security card can be replaced. All the national id card is, is a national standardized drivers licenses with some extra baggage. If someone picked it up, its about the same as having some one else's ID card, they cant ruin your credit or anything. All you information? Like medical, criminal record, personal information. There isn't much to put on it. It would save you a lot of wallet space if they put your insurance and all the other good stuff too. All it really does is condense the 5-10 identification cards you have into one. I never said "I don't care what happens either way". Where did I ever say that? I didn't. I hope we do get a national ID card. I did say that. I also said I don't care if the government knows what I am doing because it's nothing of real interest. Its not like they are going to know you downloaded music for free, because you have a standardized identification card. If you are a citizen of the United States, the government already has access to your whole life. This chip or card isn't all of the sudden going to be some new revelation. "freedom" is such a figurative term that too many people take to literally. We aren't free. You can't just hop on a plane leave the continent. You need a passport, the government knows where you go regardless. Do they care? I doubt it, you don't seem to be a threat to national security.
