So I put down Sins about a year ago because the gameplay was pretty flat after the 5th game, the modding community just wasn't established, and I had had enough playing with the map editor making gigantic maps which the AI never bothered to really compete with me on or the race through the tech tree ended way to soon. I am stuck at 1.3. There is a Star Treck mod I'd like to try as well as the Star wars mod. I bought this game for $49.99 at Walmart, yeah ripped off I know. But the demo played

I can see this place hasn't changed a bit. What I am surprised at is seeing that none of your have taken a year off to self-evaluate and realize you don't need the posting fix, and it doesn't do anything to improve your lives. Why not start your own blog, on a wiki and network yourself with the posters here if free speech is so important to you? Happy to tell you because you are lazy and settle for status quo. It was nice to read though, that someone finally did something about the wo

Congrats Brad didn't think you had it in you. I guess its safe for me to post in here again. But I won't cause I've moved on, and wouldn't be fair to comment about the littlest of whips. Ohhh burn. Hope development of the new game Demigods is going well. If gameplay is as good and deep as some of the screenshots I've seen it should be an instant buy for me. For those of you who take issue with Brad, you need to remember that though you may live in the USA this forum is Brads sandbox, a

This is going to be my last entry on JU. Though its been fun, I don't really feel the need to post here anymore. It isn't that I hate the new interface, I actually am a bit of a fan of it. It's that I dont like all of you. To be honest, the blacklisting, excessive denying of people the right to speak, the bitter forum whores who exist here, I don't get any accomplishment sense from debating them or conversing with them anymore. I also don't like the overall attitude that my opinion is

This is another article on the subject... http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/02/20/cnnu.guns/index.html I see this as a typical scenario in any large tech college or college. Students carrying concealed weapons now. Which isn't itself an issue, until said student gets a bad review or bad grade, or pissed about something, insulted in front of the ladies, or men lol, and pulls out their 9mm and ends the life of the offender before they have the time to think it over.

Freewebs.com for me, they allow you to build using their tools also with custom html. I host files on mediafire, free 100 mb files unlimited quanties, and I use photobucket for streaming video and photos. Kinda wish I could keep it all in one spot but each service is a jack of it's trade. I just wish freewebs had more widgets that were customizable. Right now they suck.

Good points Dr. I just want people to start looking at the issue with more logic than they do today. It seems to me, that people just accept gun violence as something that can happen, but not to them, when it happens in their community, it's not about keeping the guns out of the hands of people, it's about why didn't we see this criminal before hand? Well folks, the criminal is as much a person as you or I, in many cases not a criminal at all before the incident that makes th

"Not a true statement. We do have laws against those with mental conditions from even handling guns." Maybe not a correct statement, my point was, people who don't have a criminal record or any mental defect or issue, can still lose control of their emotions and anger, and when they do, if they have access to a lethal weapon, they can use it to kill, and it many cases they do. When they do, and they come out of the rage, realize what they have done, they often times kill thems

"I'm talking about actually looking at the problem instead of making knee jerk reactive political decisions that do nothing against the problem whatsover. When I tell that to people nowadays, they just say, "well, it is a different time now". How is it different? The guns aren't any different, so how are they the problem?" I'm sorry, that by choosing to frame a discussion about alternatives to the status quo, I'm the one having a knee jerk reaction. There are many people who have given

"Guns are less easily obtained in Europe, yet Europe has its own share of flipping nutters mowing down students in schools. I am not against gun control, but I find the magazine solution impractical. You are not solving the problem, you are just adding bureaucracy. And that won't stop people who don't care for bureaucracy. The nutters will still keep their guns at home and make them public once they flip." Well I simply disagree. I think alot of the shootings are not pre-med, a

You make some really good points... I'll try to get back to you on the ones I haven't answered. "I do not believe that outlawing guns will somehow prevent criminals from getting them. Murder and theft is outlawed, but criminals still do it." If guns, were not easily obtained, if they were restricted, then there would be fewer opportunities for criminals to use them. Sure there would still be criminals who own or can acquire guns. However, not for the price they can be acquired

"The only way to ensure the weapons' return to the repositories is to escort individuals under armed guard back to said repositories." Nope, if you check your gun into the kind of place, they clean it, service it if you wish, and store it for you. When you want to use it, all you have to do is go get it, sign for it, they do a quick check to make sure you aren't a felon and you are on your merry way. With an assigned time to bring the gun back. If you don't show with the gun, at the des

"Please get your facts straight before launching charges. The Catholic League warned Catholics across the country through email to bishops and through Church bulletin inserts of the dangers of this movie long before they produced this helpful booklet which people of all religious stripes are free to purchase or not." People on this forum have said that this is the Church doing this. The Catholic church has a mouth piece for education, it's called the pope. This is another organization,

Catchy first sentence: In researching this topic, I didn't accumulate a whole ton of statistics, though they certainly are available, supporting each angle of a debate, on gun control. The central theme I keep coming back too, is that with all the laws we have on the books, enforced or not, with all the people who are supposedly criminal and bad, that we have locked up, we still have, an alarming amount of national crime, and tragic losses of gun control where kids or criminals are able

"Check and see how many markets are grabbing a hold of "The Golden Compass" and compare with the markets that are showing the inspirational movie, also coming out about the same time, called "Bella." Have you even heard of "Bella?" Golden Compass had a production budget of $150 million, whereas Bella, had a production budget of $4 million dollars. That doesn't say anything about the content of either movie, only that in the marketplace a lot more people have to see Golden Compass to rec

Nobody thinks its a crock, to be charging Catholics $5 to look at a webpage, I mean if you end up printing off a copy from your home printer, it'll cost you at least the paper and ink it is printed with. This guy is in the business to make money and accumulate power, in order to make more money, not save kids from the devil lol. Good discussion. I'm glad we got to the bottom line on this all.
