Umm to say we haven't grown up aorund guns is a bit unfounded. I've grown up aorund them, they're all of courc liscensed and such but we know if used right a gun can be safe. A lot of poepl here consider a gun a way of life, quite a few Australians own guns. Keen hunters and whatnot.
What makes us say that America should restrict guns is that AMericans are too relaxed when it comes to firearms, it shows in your crime figures. Americans are twice as likey to be murdered by someone weilding a firearm than most Europeans.
Go figure.

Personally in terms of dealing with firearms America is 10 years behind the rest of the world. Australia has tight restrcitions on the use of guns, same with most fo Europe, Japan and at least 25 other countries. In Sweeden I believe that every citizen has to own and be trained to safely use a rifle.
One thing that pisses me is when someone thinks they're patriotic by saying "it's our country we'll govern ourselves", well firstly yes you can govern yourselves, secondly the choices your country makes affacts the rest of the world. America is the biggest exporter of guns next to Russia, but unlike the Russians who locked up most of their arms at the fall of the Soviet Union, America keeps them circulating.
Secondly Americans who say "we need guns to defend ourselves" bullshit the ratio of guns being used in murders to guns used to defend people is 10:1. Keeping a gun in the house is just a shortcut way of your apathetic brother or an enraged father using it to go out and have their own miniture Grand Theft Auto style killing spreed (note: Jack Tompsoon is a toolbag).
I think America needs to so stir crazy on thier anti-gun amendments and start banning guns left right and center. Rather than locking up everyone with a gun though they should adopt what Australians do, an anonomus gun drop-off.
In Australia every year for two weeks there's a program run by the polic which peopel can drop off their illegal firearms and not get chareged for it, every year they end up with thousands of rifles. It's a good system and effective to a point.

I don't really care for anyone's race, as long as they are nice as a person, willing to do things for other people and generally a good person then really what shoudl I care if they're asian, black, caucasin or whatever. Really if you don't like a certain group of people maybe you should fuck off, really why hate a group because of how they look or how they worship?

Two reasons:superfly_cox wrote:
Answer me this one simple question and it will all become very clear for me. If the US government was so clever, so devious, so well organized, and so determined as to commit the events of 9/11 themselves then how is it that the same government/forces (that be) were not able to "find" Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq? Would it have been so difficult to stage a mock discovery of WMD's considering they controlled Iraq and had just publicly staged the most elaborate hoax (9/11) in the history of man kind? Would have been peanuts in comparision...
For you conspiracy theorists, if you want to take a shot at this question use some intelligence and don't offer silly reasons like "to throw off people about 9/11". You've already given the US Government alot of credit (for competence) with all the 9/11 conspiracy theories! So why couldn't they produce some WMD's to get the entire world off of their case?
1) If the US did say they had found WMDs they would have to present all that information to the United Nations to surpiously pick through and sort. If they got caught out there then the US would be hit with so many santions that George Bush couldn't wipe his own ass.
2) Would be that the WMDs not found would have to be replicated to further prove it. Two problems with that, the first is how do you repilcate a 10 year old Iraqi missile with possible biological agents or neclear substances. The second would be if they did repilcate such a thing it would prove that the US do make Boilogical and nuclear grade missiles, which they then transported to Iraq (which in itself is hard enough). Then the UN again would be jumping all over them waving sanctions.
It's a lot easier for a government to alter certain details on an attack on their own soil by terrorist cell. It has very little bearing on other countries and the UN.
I don't wholeheartly believe in the conspirsy theory about the supposed plane and the pentagon but I do draw a lot of doubts over it. I also know for fact that the Osama family were in the US when the attacks happened and then Air Force One got clearance the next day to fly them out, you know, George Bush and his precious oil.
I'll give that George Bush was thrown into this situation early in his presidental career buthis reaction has been nothign short of horrendus. I know a friend who is a photojournalist who spent most of last year in Iraq, suffice to say when he got back he was appuled of what he saw over there.
It's one thing for terrorists to kill 3000 incocent people, but it's another thing for a country to then react using the full force of their soldiers to overthrow two governments and then ruin the lives of 10 000's of families within those countries. While I'm not certan about this but since September 11 started more Iraqi and Afgahn civilians have been killed by US marines (unintensionally) than the actual event on September 11.
That should put thigns into perspective.
Usually I'd say good on them or go for it.

If they fuck this up were totally screwed, lets not forget no matter the size of a black hole it can suck all matter into a singularity, even light. I'm going to say one of these five things will happen:
1) A black hole is created, all matter on earth is sucked into a singularity and destoryed. The force of which is so powerful that atoms themselves can be destoryed.
2) A second demension is created, in which case we'll either spend trillions of dollars trying to get people onto the other side or something will come out of it. They will come and roam the earth, destory countries and a last ditch effort is then put in place to destory them, in which we fail.
3) The atoms hit each other that they either fuse together or shatter causing neclear fallout on a rather small scale (about 5 meters) because the atoms used are so stable. Thus the theory of the big bang is proven wrong.
4) The experiment happens, Murphy's law comes into play and the earth is somehow thrown into a neclear winter or an unthinkable armigeddon.
5) It happens, it works and a small transdimensional hole is created for about 0.0004 of a second, no one really cares and it is featured on the back page of the local newspaper.
Luck I'm not a betting man eh?

Your dad's off his rocker mate.
Me and my dad play Battlefield 2 sometimes when he gets the time. Best thing to do it get your dad to play the game himself, tell him to join the USMC, be the medic and for every US marine that dies get him to revive them. Then shoot the daylights out of the enemy.
If it goes to plan, he'll phail at it then just tell him. It's blood hard eh? Try shooting down those assholes while trying to save your mate. Soom he'll relise that the game is probably more pro-American.
Just for the record is your dad like pro-America or something? Because I he is I'd laugh my head off.

Nice video, yeah I've had many conquests with EA, their tech support, their so called "fixes" and basically the shitheads who ruin the online fun. One of these days I'll make a thread about a few of these.
One invovling a four hour call to EA about my disc which when I first bought it, it was cracked. I got no where then (by this time I'd bought another copy of the game). I sent them my phone bill of $180 (about $60 of which was from my call to EA).
Then dealing with EA screwing up our dedicated server at work. One minute we were a ranked server, next minute we weren't. They didn't help us there (hence why we now only have it running at our LANs) and finally dealing with Gamespy to why I couldn't log into my account (which took about 2 months to fix).
Hence the reason why I don't use Battlefield 2 anymore on my server.

In battlefield 2 there is not honor. Videogames do not have an honor system. Sun Tzu wrote a book, you might of heard of it. It's called the Art of War, that book had honor, the Japanese had honor. Honor instills disipline in people. What honor is there in a game where you can be run down by a 5 ton jet and not see the conciquences, I doubt that they are going to kill themselves because they dishonored themself.
Now, how is one ment to be able to ensure that the moron on the other computer who tked you gets a proper beating because he tked you?

Correction: When was Battlefield 2 fair.Ned_Z wrote:

My advice is to jump onto an empty server, at least that way you won't have anyone to winge about.
The main reason it is considered that pot causes brain damage is because in the Vietnam War the troops were given pot to help relax and reduce the fear amoung the troops. When they came back they recieved a poor homecoming and thus fell into depression, once someone falls into depression they are mroe than twice as likely to develop a mental illness.
Since the government didn't want to look bad, I'm guessing they threw the blame on the pot that did it to them. After which the government probably started a grand campagn against pot.

One in five people will develop some sort of mental condition/disease in their lifetime, the most common is sckitzophrenia (spelling???). Pot increases your brain activity to an abnormal rate which can in the logn run cause some mental illness.
I'll say yes purly on the fact that it'll cause casual potheads to turn away from illegal drug deals and to more legitimate companies, thus cutting off your average pothead from accessing more dangerous drugs. My second reason is that pot at the moment when grown is probably sprayed with every peticide and polluted by every household chemical under the sun. People also put dangerous chemicals into their pot to try and make it better than the competition's.
By legalizing it that takes the whole middleman bit of it out, thus meaning that when people buy legit pot it means that it won't have any nasty chemicals in it to make it dengerous.
In most developed countries (*cough*Amerca*cough*Australia) mental healthcare is a serious problem, even at the moment most people with a mental illness live on the street because they can't find a place to help them. So if there was an increase in mental illness none of the developed countries would be able to cope, causing people to take their own lives or other people's lives.

Nice work Chuy, just a few things:
1) What is happening with the signatures?
2) Why do I keep coming up as 0th in line and not getting stats?
3) Under some of the badges is a small grey line, what's with that?
4) Will you be replacing the global ranking with a fairer system soon (like k/d ratio + w/l ratio + accuracy divided by three to get either a really good accurate all rounder score or something that bad it'd make you eye bleed, yes I did flunk math).
5) Can you make it so we can pick color theme's for the ranking page, just on our own computer?
