Who is your staff and what do they do?

It's more of a moral belief, stemming from religion. No where in the bible does it say you "shalt not study discarded embryoes" And I don't think its really that much of a religious debate either. I think its a matter of some people just think working with such things are plain wrong. Its just their beliefs. I don't personally have a problem with it, but then I don't have a problem with abortion either.

Isreal being created had the most supporters (world wide that is).

And unless you plan to do some developing, or just want to have that PC for a good long while, you could save some money without going duo. It's really overkill for most people nowadays.

What OS are you running now?

If they'll cheat in one zone we don't want them in the community. Its not worth it to say that our game has one more player.

Is this the same crea? or did you adjust it any? And who is your staff atm?

It also tells you that if the majority of the populace does not even know what ID6 stands for, let alone what purpose it servers, or that it even exists, they care just about as much about ID7 as they do about ID6.

Indy did not score a touchdown against the best defence in the NFL. The patriots Def is a far cry from Baltimores. Indy has a chance, and it'll just be a matter of which bears team shows up next week.

<3 for ze tiq.

Oh and happy birthday Jim!

Well it tells you something about ID6 if they're already working on ID7...

As stated drugs are a different topic, I'll continue the debate if you'd like to open a separate topic. Guns are not the problem, the people are the problem. The gang bangers will always have their guns. Notice how strict our gun exporting laws are and how dozen of third world countries get guns from us every day. And not even counting the ones the government hands out. If someone wants to kill someone they're not going to be like "oh well I don't have a gun...guess I'll go get ice cream instead" I fully support the right for americans to own guns, and in most states you can carry concealed, with the correct permit. I grew up in a neighborhood where I've seen over a dozen people shot and killed. And I still support guns. I've lost friends to gun violence, and a cousin. But you know what? They would have been killed no matter if there was a gun involved or not. And if they had guns themselves, they might still be alive today. Gang violence is so rampant in todays day and age that if you take away guns from people using them to protect themselves that would be a travesty. When I was 4 and my brother was 6 a drunk man broke into our house, with a hunting knife, in the middle of the summer. 3pm in the afternoon, just followed my brother right down the drive way, broke the window to the side door and let himself in. My father was at work, and my mother is only 5'2". He was over 6' and drunk. He came running after my brother and guess what stopped him? My mom ran in with her .357 magnum. scared him right out of the house. I called 911 as soon as he broke in like my mom told me to do. The cops didn't show up for 45 minutes. The man was a convicted fellon, and he had a warrant out for his arrest on 5 accounts of manslaughter. If not for that gun, we don't know for sure, but with 45 minutes alone with a drunk murderer with a hunting knife, we might not be alive today. I have dozens of stories from family and friends about how a gun, not even shooting it, just having it has saved their lives. In the city, on a subway, camping, ect. I'm sorry you will never be able to tell me that the world is a safter place without guns. More than once one has saved my life.

Drugs are addictive. Most of them that is. You can become physically addicted to cocaine after one hit. You would have thousands of people trying drugs that they never did before because A> they're legal, and B> you can get it. Drug use would skyrocket due to the fact that most of the now illegal drugs are extremely addictive. People don't waste hundreds of dollars smoking and breathe in that gross smoke because they like the smell of smoke. They're addicted. Electronics are legal, but people still push those illegally to byp!@#$%^&* taxes and other things. And of course over half of the country would cut their left nut off before they'd let the government know what they're doing. Specially if it came down to drugs. But as you said different topic. No amendments are not religious based, unlike those 10 commandments that no one follows any more... If they take away one amendment where does it stop? "The Conventions of a number of the States having, at the time of adopting the Cons!@#$%^&*ution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added, and as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government will best insure the beneficent ends of its ins!@#$%^&*ution" A passage right from the bill of rights. I'm all for not letting the government take away any of the rights that our country was founded on. As soon as they start restricting our cons!@#$%^&*utional rights we will no longer be the United States of America. We will no longer be the land of the free. Guns don't kill people. People kill people.

Well notice that no one would support America taking over Iraq. The point of the U.N. is by nominee each country has a say with what happens in the world. Much like a democracy. Certain countries have more pull than others, note the permanent members of the U.N. Because in a regional dispute, the jews would have said they were for it. The British too, they get to be involved being they were occupying the territory. And now the arab territories of the area disagree. Of course they do, noone wants land that they killed for taken away. And that would be a never ending dispute. One side says yes, the other no. So that is why we have the U.N. to settle matters like this and many others. The mojority of the U.N./world was for the creation of israel. Even if only 51% were for it, that is the majority. If you look at the U.N. countries are always settling matters that have no concern to them, or minor concern. But that is what our civilization has come to. The U.N. is the civilized way to solve these disputes rather than having another vietnam where world powers each pick a side and watch the blood pour.

vista doesn't need 2gb, I run it just fine on my test pc at work with only 1gb.

You're also the same guy that thinks the best way to solve the drug problem in america is to make all drugs legal and open up clinics, and people will "miraculously" think they have a disease and go to the clinics and stop doing drugs. Europe isn't the graceland people make it out to be. And notice we are not europe. If we put stricter controls on the other 30-40% of non federal regulated firearms, that would help the issue, while not taking away the second amendment.

I have no problems with what the romans did. But you can't say that it is fine that the ottoman empire got the land through imperialism, and then criticize the the British got the land through a pseudo imperialism. Just because there is a 500 year gap doesn't make it any more right or wrong. The reason why things don't happen like that anymore is because the last person to try that kind of imperialism was hitler and that resulted in WWII. And the simple fact is almost the entire area highlighted in brown was what used to be the ottoman empire. Of course they're not going to support it. You overrun a country and tell them you're taking away part of their land and see what anyone does. They lost the land to a stronger military force. If someone took alaska tomorrow, and we couldn't through military means take it back, then we lose alaska. It is the way of the world. And it still happens today. Case in point, Mogadishu.

The romans were one of the most imperialistic civilizations in history. Along with the Persians...and the Brittish, and the Ottomans and the Greeks...shall I continue? If you've read anything on the creation of Isreal, the majority of the world supported it. Or at least the majority of the U.N. at the time. And why did the British have any less right than anyone else to be there? Everyone else was imperialistic enough to get the country. And no it was not a direct threat to them, but it was strategic for the allies as a whole. The British had just as much right as any other group that has occupied that area, and with the majority U.N. support had every right to do with it what they did. And you keep saying Palestine like it was a state. It was a conglomerate of territories owned by the Ottoman Empire. It was not the state of Palestine until the U.N. made it so.

I know off the top of my head 4 area shops where they sell guns...if you mention the right name to the owner. Otherwise they're just antique/pawn shops. How many gang members in the united states legally have guns? Or got them by legal means? Only 60-70% of guns are sold by federal means. That varies by state. So you remove that, and there are still 30-40% of guns out on the market.

If some guy walks into your house and has a .357, and you've got your louisville slugger...well lets see who wins that fight... But honestly people will always be able to get illegal guns...just like how people will always be able to get illegal drugs. I don't know about any other state, but in NY state you have to be 21 years old, you must past a background check and must wait a minimum of 1 week from time of purchase and time of retrieval for a hand gun. Laws on rifles and shotguns are not as strict because its !@#$%^&* difficult to walk down the street hiding a shotgun in your pants. Anyone can conceal a hand gun. Its like anything else, if you legally own a gun, and sell it to someone else. Unless you go through the proper channels, if they do something with it, you are held responsible. If they commit a murder with it, you are considered an accomplace. By our cons!@#$%^&*ution we are allowed to arm ourselves, there is no reason to take that away.

Sometimes you need to fight violence with violence. We have all of these hippies trying to praise peace and love, and that is fine and dandy, until someone bigger comes and uses violence. Perfect example, a bunch of liberals are trying to break the second amendment trying to take away our right to bear arms. The great big problem with this is that the people who have them legally would have to give them up, and the hundreds of thousands who have them illegal would still have them. Then you've got the good honest citizens who can't protect themselves, and the dishonest ones with all the weapons.

SS has always been like that. I wanted to start a zone back in 98-99 but I didn't know anyone in a high place back then and noone would give me the time of day.

I'm exactly the same way. Except sometimes I'll drop in, be in there for an hour ticked, and noone comes in. I won't waste what little extra time I have sitting there with noone to even talk to.

you need population to have leagues.
