  1. When I was 16 I worked at a Jack In The Box. I wasn't one of the biggest kids in school but I hit a cook in the back of the head with a spatula for spitting on a customer's burger. He got stitches, I got written up and the only reason I didn't get fired was cuz they didn't want news to get about about the new Jumbo Loogie Burger.
  2. I live in Arizona, it's out of control here (at least until recently). It's illegal aliens that piss me off. 2% of the illegals in this country do work Americans don't want to do. The rest are taking jobs that Americans want. Crime has risen 68% and it's directly attributable to illegal immigration. We don't usually have cops killed in Phoenix, but last year we lost 3 and their killers went back across the border and Mexico won't give them back to us, cuz AZ has the death penalty. Theft from employers is rampant, my brother in law had 250 illegals working for him, and they would steal work materials (he's a painting contractor) and you'd see them at the swap meets with tables full of stuff they stole from him. The absolute worst part about it is there's no accountability for them. They use fake social security numbers to get fake drivers licenses. No car insurance, no paying for their license plates so the state misses out on all those taxes to pay for our roads. The few times the illegals had demonstration marches last year the freeways in the morning were much less packed and easier to traverse. So we know they're using the roads, just not paying for them. Several county hospitals have been shut down cuz the illegals go there for everything, including having a headache. Can you imagine going to the hospital for an aspirin? So the hospitals have closed cuz lack of funds and now the Americans who live in those parts of town (poor areas) can't get health care they deserve and were getting before the illegals sucked the life out of the hospitals. Let's not forget they pay no taxes. They claim max amount of dependants (11) and have almost nothing (something like $14 out of a $400 paycheck) witheld for social security. They figure that's a fair price to pay for using a stolen SS number. I think it's a damn shame that people who flaunt the laws in this country and don't contribute to the system take away things from low income Americans. It makes me sick.
  3. My dad happens to be a racist azzhole. One of my close friends who posts here (Cali) and I were going to lunch one day and my dad wanted to go. I had to tell him to behave. It's a shame when the kid has to verbally biatch-slap the parent. ;) The old man just doesn't get it that no one has any control over their skin color. The important thing they can control is how they act towards others. That being said, I don't see my dad much any more. It's easier on me and the fact that I don't lose a bit of my soul everytime I have to hear his ignorant BS..............LOL Icarus makes a good point. News organizations are scared to call the race card on a minority. If we don't call everyone who is racist on it then things will never change. I expect to be treated like the next guy regardless of race, job description or social status. Treat racists the way they deserve, even the ones that happen to be in a minority group.
  4. I've always judged people on their actions and interactions with myself, friends, family, etc. I know plenty of jaggoffs of all colors, it's not skin color that determines what kind of person you are. I don't know a lot of people who are downright racist, but people in general tend to have their prejudices (which is different than racism). Prejudice can be skin color related, but I've seen it with stuff as stupid as related to income, hair length (I used to be a rocker dude in the 80's/90's), what kind of car you drive, etc. As for the poll, I don't buy it. I think the poll is low. And I think the poll is too simplified. Being caucasian and middle class with a blue collar background I can only give examples of what I've seen and heard from others in those circles. I've heard people say that there will be riots if Obama isn't elected. They cite the riots when sports teams have won/lost championships. I think some of the bias comes from generalizations. Plus, people tend to remember the bad things that happened. The good stuff just isn't "juicy enuf" when gossiping.
  5. I'm using override and 4xAA/16xAF. I don't use more than 4xAA cuz it really makes the ground targets impossible to see. I don't take an fps hit from 8xAA though. :) I'm glad to see you got things working. :)
  6. I have the same video card and the same vid drivers and I'm not seeing the problem you're having. I do get that problem when I run SLI in any other mode than split frame rendering. It's absolutely a driver issue. Have you removed your drivers properly? The correct procedure would be to remove thru your control panel, reboot into safe mode. Use Driver Cleaner Pro (google it, it's free). Reboot. Install drivers. Reboot.
  7. First off, the congressmen/women should send a letter of apology for politicizing this case. These mens' lives could have been ruined and they still might be. And that's not to say what a toll this has taken on morale which could be directly related to future deaths amongst Marines. Politicians should be allowed two terms, period. I'm sick and tired of our soldiers not being able to prosecute a war the way it should be. Don't shoot at insurgents that run into mosques. Don't JDAM a bunch of known terrorists attending a funeral for one of their dead buddies. It makes me sick that the weenies on capitol hill think they know better than the guys living the experience every day. To be fair, I know two pilots (retired) that flew with him. They said he was an @sshole when he was military. Had very few friends cuz he was so abrasive. It doesn't surprise me that he stole that money. At least he's paying for it now.
  8. That young man exemplifies what's right about this country.
  9. There's one tomorrow. It's too late to sign up, but go here to sign up for the one after that.
  10. ERS is full on console (n00b) mode.
  11. Speaking as a member here who is in an FPS squad since '00 and a flight sim squad since '04 I don't hold high hopes for this game. They ruined the Ghost Recon series, GRAW 1 just plain sucked and GRAW2 could have been fantastic. Except for lack of content for the PC. Any of you that hope to have anything other than arcade for PC will be greatly disappointed. UBI does not support it's PC gamers. For instance, GRAW2 on console got a huge map pack while us PC dudes are stuck with the same 9 maps. UBI could have had another game of the year (like it did with Ghost Recon and it's number one selling expansions Desert Siege and Island Thunder). UBI is more interested in catering to the console crowd, getting the title out and getting the money. Their lack of support for PC is (in)famous. In fact, Ravenshield people are on year 4 waiting for a patch to fix what was extremely broken after a previous patch. What UBI is good at is marketing and CG rendered movies. The odds are good that the game will look very similar to that movie, GRAW2 looked like it's CG movies. UBI's PC games have been dumbed down to levels matching what you can expect for console. If you liked the Ace Combat series or BA you'll most likely love this release. Otherwise I wouldn't recommend wasting a dollar on this title.
  12. Two screenies showing the 8 choices you'll have for the new A-10:
  13. Unless the SIMMOD team has any other issues for me to fix, I'm done skinning for the A-10 release. Now I'm doing some stuff for the 141st (Yeniceri's squadron) as well as ours. I've fixed Peanut and Flipper skins to reflect more what their real colors are.
  14. This paint scheme is called MASK, it's a Davis-Monthan A-10, 354th Fighter Wing.
  15. The latest skin, I call it "Shamu".
  16. Major Matt Mason, a toy M1 Garand that shot plastic bullets and a toy Thompson SMG that you pulled the bolt lever back and it would go rat a tat tat.
  17. SimMod is working on a new A-10 model for Lock On/Flaming Cliffs, and I've been fortunate enough to have been chosen to skin it. The low-vis gray was skinned by Rockwelder, the rest are mine. I hope you like them. This model is sick and I can't wait till the rest of you are able to get your hands on it. :)
  18. It's massive. Only someone who is experienced in altering files such as the INIT file should mess with it. Back it up before you do though.
  19. Eagle has it messed up. Just don't take the 3 Mav loadout. I don't. :)
