Let me get this straight, the lefty whackos who want to ban all guns are corrupt and don't enforce existing law, but the righty NRA whackos who want to give every baby a machine gun at birth faithfully enforce gun regulation? The problem with enforcement is, if you're carrying a gun illegally, chances are nobody will be able to catch you at it before you go postal, which at that point its pretty much ineffective at stopping violence.

Very true. But the difference is if they're caught with a gun, there's something that can be done about it. It's a no brainer, like keeping sex offenders away from schools and places with lots of kids, yeah they can always get by somehow, but that doesn't mean no effort should be made.

jibjab animations and SNL skits

Gun rights do need a bit of common sense limitations though. Nothing wrong with handguns and the like, total bans are outrageous, but can anyone really say someone with a violent history should really be carrying a gun?

What resolution is the bitmap and what size is the plane? It may be showing up properly but the outlines may be just too blurred away to display. There's a checkbox under viewport rendering for using bitmap resolution that might help.

Now, with a real ARM, would that trick from flight of the intruder work? IE an aircraft had a radar lock on you and you let one off in their direction (even though most mig-17s like the one they showed don't have radar?

As if it wasn't a s**tty day to begin with Just like Tim Russert, so sudden, you'd never expect it from the way they were on camera. Didn't he just do voice acting for the latest 3d animation movie? So many great routines....

The HUDs and whatnot shouldn't slow you down, but the eurofighter's 4096x4096 textures will. A computer upgrade would be worth it, parts and even whole systems are getting dirt cheap, just check out tiger direct.

Criticism is one thing, which you see of both sides on most channels. But giving the right the benefit of the doubt and proceeding to pile on the liberal like Australian rules football and reporting partisan opinion as fact?

uhhhh Well in some cases its understandable. My grandparents were just too old to learn more than the most rudimentary english just to get by, whereas my mother, aunts and uncles speak perfect english. Though my mother still screws up Ys and Js. The whole hip-hop/street thuggish culture thats fairly big among people around my age and younger just gets on my nerves. It has nothing to do with skin pigment or background, I just find it disgustingly trashy. Look "dawg" being born in a nice part of the bonx and your parents moving to the suburbs when you were 5 does not make you some big bad "gangsta" so stop trying to talk like Dave Chappel, referring to women as either "bitches" or "hoes" and ditch the attitude. Especially when you personally know people from bad circumstances that are regular civilized people. That, and "uber-guidos" like the guy in that haircut youtube clip. I guess it can be boiled down to people trying to flaunt an image of something they're not.

Essentially anywhere I see or hear a headline, most frequently my cable service homepage where I check my main email from, who do a pretty good job of posting articles just by the facts without the analysis or opinion. Fox is most certainly the farthest from fair. Enter the law of averages, the clustering of scores around the center with few extreme scores. Is it more likely that the one network vastly different from the rest in their coverage is really at the center, or at the extreme? They do a terrible job representing anything even marginally towards the left, usually meek nobodies that just get shouted over and used as a whipping post appear and when they do get to say something, its usually in response to a loaded question. Not to mention how they outright blame liberals/democrats for things. MSNBC for their liberal pundits like Olberman and Mathews, also have their conservative pundits, like Pat Buchannan, tucker Carlson or Joe Scarborough(who was a republican congressman), so they're by far more balanced as a whole(even though a particular show may not be) than Fox, who has no liberal pundits. But all cable news is a joke to begin with, trying to keep a news feed 24 hours a day leads to such wasted non-news (*cough* spears family drama *cough*) with only passing mention of international events. And even when they do cover something international (like all the hell in Africa or Myanmar) they just drop their coverage as soon as anything new(however stupid) comes along when there are clearly more serious developments still going on.

I flip through all 3 major channels. Figures like Keith Olberman and Chris Mathews have their views, it's not an endemic network bias like Fox's, they are essentially the PR department of the RNC. A while back one of the guys from CNNs morning show went to Fox, Bill something with an H. Aside from getting contacts, there was a gigantic shift in how he reported. And any news organization that still employs Geraldo is about as reputable as the national enquirer. And his show is really more of a comedy like Stewart or Colbert. Do you actually think a show with a segment giving people the label of worst person in the world, is supposed to be taken seriously? I've yet to be in a service where the preacher wasn't crazy, and the kinds of things the run of the mill evangelical ministers say makes rantings about racial oppression look pale in comparison. They really do deserve the nickname "The American Taliban" OBama has already thrown wright under the bus, how else is he supposed to handle it? Curl up into a fetal position and take a beating like Kerry did after every attack on him? Aside from expecting the public to understand things more complex than and inbetween "I'm close to him therefore our minds are one and the same" and "I completely disagree with him and have nothing to do with him whatsoever" Seriously, think of all the people you're close to. Would it not be easy to find things they've said to be totally derranged? People that are so "normal" are more often than not, incredibly boring and not really worth knowing.

Oh please, not everything is some kind of collusion, though MSNBC is generally pro-Obama. And you're associating one rant of a preacher looped for weeks on tv with everyone harping on it to that person's beliefs. The things he came out and said in some kind of weird defence of himself makes wright look crazier than that youtube clip. There are so many factors that go into perception of others that its difficult to really pinpoint skin color.

How would one ever tell when perfectly clean beer tastes like piss anyway?

For less than $100,000 hell yeah! But then I saw it was only for static display without engines.

Yup, no need to rally the populace and moderates to the side of the mullahs with all the demonizing and Iraq-like drift towards invasion. Given a few years the mullahs will still be around, but ultimately powerless. I say improve relations and get our economies friendly with each other. McDonalds is a more powerful weapon than any bomb.

Nobody trusts him or iran, but I wouldn't take them too seriously, its mostly saber rattling and nothing more. Hes trying to make him and Iran appear as a serious player and get the same respect the "big guys" have. I'm-a-dinner-jacket

2 looks more natural, but the seams are more noticable.

Last I checked, humans couldn't even feel EMP, doubt our feces flinging relatives would feel it either. Good ole' guns would do the trick just fine. No, the way it worked for the Mayans was the world had been created and destroyed 5 times, 2012 the world was supposed to be destroyed for the final time. But I think their numerical system was in base 5, so the number may be off.

When I said "I'd hit that!" I meant with my car.

They all look like men in drag :yes: Should really be the other way around, you've got to be really drunk to consider kissing any of them.

Or make a decent EMP gun so we can cut through the machines like a hot knife through butter?

Couldn't tell about exhaust haze, can we get something like a 1600x1200 screen? The sand ripples do look beyond fantastic. Between this, some the third party water fx and CA_starry and brain32's terrain work, it really makes TKs sims stand up to the others in terrain quality!

Obviously fake....It's only june. It has been exceedingly rare we ever buy aircraft from another country and then only the british since the 1920s. Beyond the B-57 canberra and the Harrier in the jet age. With our own highly developed aerospace industry, why would be?

It had some serious holes in the story. The black woman(forgot her name) was in the lab part that got contaminated and it was eating away at her suit.....but she didn't die? And if the future version of andromeida came from the space station, and the space station sample came from the future, how the **** did it come into existance in the first place?
