  1. It's something people (especially me) have been asking for. 2 things the game still lacks and it would otherwise be perfect: 1. quick mission builder and 2.being able to switch to other seats for multi crew planes.
  2. I think I've found my new wallpaper!
  3. Or you could just toss all your mods into a mega install, or divide them up by game. Ex only Israeli and red planes in SF2I, Nato and Red in SF2E, WW2 planes in one, jets in another, or however you like.
  4. Wait a sec... you almost sounded like a disenchanted liberal like myself. Obama actually admits it's essentially impossible not to be beholden to every special interest (mostly wall street) in his book. I put a lot of blame on his advisors, Rahm Emmanuel, Larry Summers, Tim Geithner. All scumbags in my book, and I have a good sense for people who shouldn't be trusted. They're all establishment, so SSDD is no surprise. It's like day 1 his primary concern was not rocking the boat too much. The media actually is quite mixed. MSNBC is left, Fox is on the right and CNN is just a laughing stock that panders to everyone. As for Haiti and healthcare, helping Haiti is easy to do because outside of a few clowns, everyone can agree on what to do. I'm sure they're looking at the political gain from it, but actually getting it done isn't nearly as politicized as anything domestic. If you don't want healthcare, you're damn lucky. If it wasn't for NY extending coverage under a parent's policy until 29, I'd be incomparably f**ked right now. And when it comes to taxes, him and the federal government actually lowered them for most, the states were the ones who went and raised them. Nevermind that nobody lowers taxes, just shifts them around to different groups.
  5. Damn right! If we can all come together to help Haiti, why can't we do the same at home?
  6. Really? because they're really up there on everything usable to measure, standards of living, health, etc. Military might, obviously not #1, nor the best measure to judge a country by.
  7. But who is identifiable as a comedian on the right? Sure Michael Steele and Glenn Beck are easy to laugh at, but they aren't comedians per se like Stewart, and they are all really good spontaneously if you've spent any time watching them.
  8. Leftist lack of humor? Surely you've heard of John Stewart and the entire Daily Show cast, Stephen Colbert or Bill Maher? Where is there political humor on the right? All I've ever managed to come across are a few marginally witty pictures on the interwebs.
  9. Alright, where's a full unedited transcript?
  10. I thought people here would get a kick out of this:
  11. That's being awefully polite to him. The sad thing is, sheeple believe his sewage. Him and his kin are why america is in the sorry state its in.
  12. Someone seems to be going around and obsessively doing that to people lately.
  13. Tipari has got to be C5 in disguise
  14. The point is, its annoying as hell and turns people away, even when its true. Modesty is a far better approach than boasting (until you get into a contest that is)
  15. As are we. The disrespect we get even from allies comes most from the attitude "If it wasn't for us you'd all be speaking German" we constantly espouse rather than deeds. The great Lewis Black summed it up, if you worked in an office with a person who constantly told you how superior they are to everyone else there and how you wouldn't stand a chance without them, I guarantee within a week, you'd have killed them. There's pride and confidance are good, but like with a person too much is as much a detriment as a strength. Maybe, but nobody hates you (unless you're one of those infectiously cheery, bubbly types) Just look at countries like Canada or Sweden, they're always nice to everyone and who hates or attacks them? You can get to the top being nice to everyone, but once near you have to give the message not to f**k with you, but still be nice. As for the economic chernobyll, blame can be traced as far back as the 70s and stagflation, but could have been entirely avoidable. Enron was a huge alarm, and people had been going to the SEC about Madoff for years about his ponzi scheme. The most simple way to describe it, people forgot the lessons of the great depression. The Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission will likely come to the same exact conclusion as the Pecora hearings. Hell they could practically plagiarize the entire thing word for word and change the names around.
  16. Not exactly freaky, it's all tied to plate tectonics and the currents of magma way below the crust. Unsettling because more activity is likely, it wouldn't be all that surprising to see another quake, volcano erruption or tsunami soon.
  17. So you'd actually side with the wall street f***ers and their fantasy finance?
  18. The US would if there was ever a need. As for the rich arab states, the Haitians are almost entirely Catholic and since they're not muslims, they ultimately couldn't care less. Goes to show pure wealth (usually of a very few) is a poor judge of a nation.
  19. That's gotta be near impossible. How many shows take place in the NY/NJ area? I know they're doing 24 around here this season, but that hasn't started. Popular and worthwhile being on TV? The easiest guess would be "The Jersey Shore" but that is up there with jerry springer in trashy to the point of irrelevance, no matter how many kids watch it.
  20. Some can be dropped in flawlessly, others need some tweaking, but everything is usable if you know what to do (knowledgebase has it all)
  21. Since last election, first name (and almost anything descriptive) has become a mocking way to refer to people.
  22. The Tsunami was far worse, but this earthquake is right up there with it. Such a large quake is unusual for the location and buildings weren't designed for it, making the devastation far worse. It really is when we take the initiative helping people that we're at our best as a nation.
  23. Making going green unfashionable? black flag operation for oil? What the hell are you talking about? "going green" has become such a trendy thing that if it wasn't for the real consequences of not going with clean energy, I'd be mocking it simply because it was fashionable.
  24. GwynO, you are perfectly right with the green movement, and another thing opponents to being more environmentally friendly keep missing is "does anyone really want pollution?" There are places in china where you can't see the sun, lets just say that no matter what humans do, it won't affect the global temperatures, wouldn't we still want to keep the place clean and pleasant? Who wants to be in bladerunner where there's nothing but perpetual smog? And of course, oil is a finite resource, even if every country in the middle east suddenly became a flourishing, modern and free society, we'd still need to get off it or one day everything will grind to a halt. Except about Pakistan really hasn't gotten on board with the modern world, Turkey, to some extent, but Pakistan is a farce of democracy as a veil over recurring military dictatorships who do plenty to fund terror.
  25. Well from over hear, it certainly looks like Europe is in much better shape and far more functional and united than we are. Anda t least in Europe you have more political parties to choose from. Here they're both owned by banks and insurance companies and the only real choice is between people who can't get anything done or people who can't get anything done and scream about everything.
