Yet here in America we pay farmers not to farm. That seems out of whack to me. The trend of late with unions is they are giving back most of their benefits and creating a lower tier pay scale with no way out of the lower tier. Companies are using this to their advantage by turning the two against e...

There's nothing wrong with religion. I know, I know, a statement like that coming from me. It's when it's used as a reason to gain power and control or influence large numbers of people to some end, it becomes a dangerous problem. Humans will always have a desire for a spiritual explanation to life....

TC the only problem is when people start calling for reform of the dependency system they are called mean or hateful. that has even been demonstrated on this BB. I, and most sensible liberals by the way, also want to reform the system, if only so that it won't bankrupt our country and fail for futu...

IMO this is the bottom line: The majority of the individuals of the US are complacent, apathetic, and just want the quick buck that will take care of them without regard for their children or grandchildren. As long as the majority of the people in the US live this way, the government will follow su...

Let me ask you woodchip. Would YOU like to be the average factory worker living in China on the wages they get, IF you were lucky enough to even HAVE one of those factory jobs in the first place? To top that off, the unfortunate rest are forced to farm to survive or feed the growing population and a...

I had a similar problem with a brand new Steam game. Bought the CD version right off the shelf. Go home and try to install it and bingo, I get an error that my CD key is already in use. Well, after giving Steam Support proof that I actually purchased the game, they fixed me right up. I was very plea...

Cain made the mistake of lying and changing his story in the press several times. Politicians can never seem to speak the truth the FIRST TIME AROUND.

In D2, I loved trapping the little booger in some room with no other exit. I'd chase him into the start room, for example, block the door with my Pyro, switch in the Gauss Gun, hold down the trigger and let him have it. I was a riot to watch as he freaked out and tried to get past me and the door. N...

The Thief Bot was brilliant, I don't know if its just me but when something runs away in a video game; I MUST CHASE IT.

I've played those series of games and I've always wondered, since I can see those green eyepieces from the third person, why don't the other enemies see them either, even when they're standing right next to Fisher? Maybe humans can't see green eyeballs in the dark.
