Obama is the most liberal senator in congress. Open to debate, but national journal agrees. 1st in 2007 and states that he was 10th most liberal in 2006. Clinton in contrast was 16th and 32nd. There are 49 democrat senators (and 2 "independants" that are basically democrats). This makes clinton a relative moderate in terms of democrats. I dont really want to get into specifics since I havent put a whole lot of study in it.... this being because.. I would never vote for Obama anyway once I learned of the whole Reverand Wright bull!@#$%^&*. This guy is in this hate whitey, !@#$%^&* america, blame everyone else for your problems church for 20 years and just realizes it after he becomes a presidential nominee. Then you have Ms. Obama who has never felt pride for her country before, her thesis, there's all kinds of !@#$%^&* you could hit at. It's not too hard to swing and miss. so, yes, it's basically a character trait. I'm guessing if I actually did compare their actual voting records though, that i'd prefer hillary's. at a quick 3 minute glance, here's one example I found: http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll...&vote=00189

first off, let me mention that in gun ownership per capita, texas ranks 30th amongst the 50 states+DC. DC ranks 51st. which has the highest murder rate? texas was 18th in murders per capita in 2006 amongst the 50 stats + DC. (5.9/100,000). national avg is 5.7. mexico is 6th in the world and 3x that number. oddly enough, texas also has a large population of illegal immigrants. so do arizona, new mexico, california, and nevada. they are ranked 7th, 10th, 10th, and 3rd (calif & new mexico tied at 6.8, arizona at 7.5, nevada at 9.0). here's a nice, non-politically correct post for you: http://www.halfsigma.com/2008/06/what-caus...un-control.html ahhh, strength of diversity http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/homicide/race.htm <-- ps, this considers hispanics white. fyi, the states with the highest gun ownership rate per capita - wyoming, alaska, montana, south dakota, and west virginia all rank below the national average in murders per capita. three are so low that they're comparable to many european countries and below canada - wyoming, montana and south dakota (1.7, 1.8, 1.2). west virginia, which is 95% white and happens to rank like 49th or 50th in # of people living in poverty by state has a 4.1/100,000 murder rate which is also significantly lower than the country's national avg. but i guess it does lend credence to the statement that poverty leads to crime, that amount of violence amongst whites is basically unheard of. alaska is at 5.4 (also below national average). The correlation between a the violent crime rate by state and the percentage of its population that is either black or Hispanic is ., higher than any other single variable identified (a county level database--with some major urban counties not included for lack of data--showed the percentage of single-mother households to be a stronger correlate than the black+Hisp population, which was the second strongest variable). If the US' Hispanic and black populations are !@#$%^&*umed to commit crimes and other pathologies at a rate equivalent to that of whites, the US falls in the middle of the pack among developed nations on a host of social variables, from teen pregnancy to violent crime. gun ownership: DC 3.8% (51 out of 51). murder rate. #1 out of 51. hawaii 8.7% (50 out of 51). murder rate #48 out of 51. new jersey 12.3% (49 out of 51). murder rate #25 out of 51. massachusetts 12.6% (48 out of 51). murder rate #36 out of 51. rhode island 12.8% (47 out of 51). murder rate #38 out of 51. connecticut 16.7% (46 out of 51). murder rate #33 out of 51. new york 18.0% (45 out ouf 51). murder rate #27 out of 51. illinois 20.2% (44 out of 51). murder rate #17 out of 51. maryland 21.3% (t43 out of 51). murder rate #3 out of 51. california 21.3% (t43 out of 51). murder rate #11 out of 51. umm, where exactly is the correlation? lowest murder rates in country: new hampshire 1.0, south dakota 1.2, north dakota 1.3, hawaii 1.6, wyoming 1.7, maine 1.7, utah 1.8, montana 1.8, iowa 1.8, vermont 1.9. respective gun ownership rank 38th, 4th, 10th, 50th, 1st, 24th, 14th, 3rd, 17th, 20th. only two of those states have gun ownership rates below average. more liberal hogwash

you better keep adding new games, since none of ya'll will ever beat my battle pong score. bring it on suckas.

said something else but nm, misread this. haha. but personally i would have preferred the dem nominee over the republican one for the first time in my life if anyone but obama had won their nomination process (of their top 4 or 5 nominees), seeing as how rep nominee is mccain. this is the guy that wants to increase military size, probalby invade iran within 4 years. guy is just totally beholden to the worst special interest group.

they lost some lawsuit about picketing some soldier's funeral.. how (or why) are they still doing it? is it under appeal or something?

I think in cases like these, the law should only allow for shotgun blasts to the knees

speaking of which: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7488009.stm kekeke

lies

thats precisely why i was taken off. Actually, it wasnt really up for the doctor to decide whether i was taken off of it (that decision went to the psychiatrist i had at the time). He just advised me that it was not good for my health to continue to be on it. i have high blood pressure. runs in my family, and my weight also contributes, as well as my diet. !@#$%^&* i had some msg typed out and just as i was about to submit power blacked out for 2 sec. oh well. anyway, basically. i decided to take some action about this and got me an "at home" blood pressure monitoring system, pretty good one that should be fairly accurate. ive found that after taking the adderall and when its impacts are at the highest, ive gotten up to ~105/~85 w/ a "resting" pulse rate of ~90, that's a stimulant for you i guess. usually in the morning it's at it's lowest, and this morning was the lowest ive seen since buying it actually, that was 85/58 pulse 72. thats not too bad, and it's not nearly as low as it was at that one point. plus i havent really been having any side effects !@#$%^&*ociated with low blood pressure anyways. i asked my dad about blood pressure history in family, nobody he knows of has ever had any problems with high or low blood pressure in the family besides himself. he said he's been treated with hypotension. he said he felt "cold and clammy" and went to doc, and his blood pressure was 65/40 or some !@#$%^&* but that's only been in the last 5 years. im guessin that's more of an age issue then anything really genetic as he's approaching (i was born when he was almost 50). anyway, troll post? weh? (ps - also found webmd like 2 days ago too. yah, that is a good site. i was just reading too much !@#$%^&* from quacked out crap like yahoo answers)

haha that video is funny as !@#$%^&*, but the guy needs to learn that (some) ppl are going to mess with him cause of his bells pallsy or whatever. anyway, im guessing thats what the deal was. if he cant deal w/ that, he shouldnt post vids on youtube. ps 2:00 - 2:20 or so is best part for ppl that havent seen $

5 yards away and shot in the back? !@#$%^&*, they musta just saw the fat guy and not that shotgun and decided that shotgun > crowbar a little too late.. works for me.

Thank you. Thank you. How I have longed to see someone admit it. The USA doesn't have a government camera on every corner, but we do have dozens of security cameras in every store (I remember a 50-year old business my father worked in - small grocery store - that had 8 of them), complete internet logging, and nonexistent corporate accountability (Bush set a jolly precedent with the spying telecoms, didn't he?). Have you ever looked at this? (For those too lazy to click, it's a chart showing the best and worst privacy respecting nations in the world - The USA ranks all the way up with China, Russia, and Taiwan. Nice to see that we're as good as nations that we routinely denounce for being totalitarian, isn't it?) on a side note you dont live in Finland, but it's an interesting name considering that finland has like zero immigration and such a bi-cultural community, what is it, 93% finn, 6% swede, and 99.7% white, well maybe 99.9% (depending on the gypsy population). theyve got some *very open* immigration laws (cough wheeze). i dont understand why ppl continue to promote "diversity" when it's been shown by these propped up "model" scandinavian countries and others like japan where it's beneficial to society to have homogenous populations. also, how can ppl post in an Africa thread about colonial barriers being wrong based on tribal/ethnic lines (hence violence), but also support nearly unchecked immigration and/or "cultural diverseness"? it's just another one of those bizarre liberal hypocrisies. in regards to your reply perhaps you should start directing some of your vitriol towards a place like Canada where if you dare to POST on a site like stormfront you risk going to prison for a few years. only reason that most people know about it now is because of ezra levant and the danish cartoons. security camera in every store? whats wrong with that? what does this mean, i cant have privacy in a public store? what am i gonna do, jerk off in the aisle or make out with someone in the frozen foods section? you can even have cameras in bathroom areas but shockingly enough it's actually illegal to have cameras in stalls. sorry, im not concerned with my privacy in stores. ps - yes, a bunch of the post 9/11 !@#$%^&* bush has passed does infringe on my privacy/liberties. i dont like it either. that's why im a libertarian and not a republican.

ive known a lot of very intelligent ppl with dyslexia. probably isnt the case here but fear nitpicking over one word wtf.

I've made a ton of comments about Africa stuff before so I'm sure everyone already knows my views. Just thought I'd disagree with you saying that #4 is unlikely though. You just have to take a look at Zimbabwe, where all the trained and properly equipped white farmers were driven out by Mugabe, to be replaced by (presumably) black subsistance farmers or probably in most cases govt officials or friends of govt officials that have no clue on how to farm. That's why there's 15 million% inflation and m!@#$%^&* starvation right now. the same situation will happen in South Africa at some point. just stay tuned in the next decade.

this actually brings up a point.. that first vid i posted, i would call an actual example of cyber bullying. i mean, flamewars on msg boards, bull!@#$%^&* in an online game or whatever, is nothing. also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vFQaiX7M8U&fmt=18 is also what id call "real" cyber bullying. although in this case unlike the other, the guy that makes the vid and/or shoots the paintball gun (not sure if its the same person) both opens themselves up to a nice juvenile felony assault charge and/or lawsuit by featured kids parents on other kids parents. in fact, i hope they did milk a lot of money out of them. anyhow, if anyone at their school got ahold of that youtube link (im sure they did in the case i posted here)... it would spread quickly.. and then he'd REALLY be bullied, yeah, you can say theyre weak or whatever but even if youre, say, 4th to 12th grade and "normal" something like that would turn things against you fast, ie being caught at a bad moment and having a video post around the world viewed by millions of people. anyhow, also if that really is his brother or whatever taking that video on my earlier link then that's pretty !@#$%^&*ing sad. i know my brother never would have done anything like that to me even if i did have some bizarre obsession with myspace. also, that girl in yer link subjects herself to RL bullying by her re!@#$%^&*ness

omg, just unban the guy already

I'm pretty sure that is what happens to him when he gets a up/down reversed powerup. And lol, at some point the CPU had his paddle VANISH lol! It was so small it disappeared... I would have thought there was a limit to the smallness, but NO lol! That game is fun anyway Haha, yeah, it was fun for about 2 hours.. but I started getting pissed the last hour. Kept getting to 800, 900'ish.. same !@#$%^&* thing. Get unlucky on powerups, or CPU gets insane amount of +size +speed so there's no way to beat it unless it does the top/bottom thing. I never thought of that tho, I'm sure you're right about the reverse powerups thing. I've had a cpu with like a few pixel sized paddle school me before on 1000+ though, just cuz it had like max accel. I think after 1000 it becomes more of a luck thing. Even if you get totally unlucky on powerups you generally can get to about 500 level. 500-900 seem to be a little luck based (increasing as you go up), and 1000+ has just been total luck.. at least that's my opinion.. BTW, Steve Moraff.. haha.. I remember Moraff's Revenge. Some shareware game. Actually sent a check to the dude for the full version.

Well, the soda has some sodium in it too, but only 2%. Say I drink 6 a day. That's 12%. I imagine from the food I eat, I get about another, uh, 150-200% of my daily recommend dose of sodium. So, yeah, I'm taking in too much salt. But that's supposed to raise your blood pressure, not lower it. From the snopes article: The average person retains about half to two-thirds the amount of fluid taken in by consuming these types of beverages, and those who regularly consume caffeinated drinks retain even more: Regular coffee and tea drinkers become accustomed to caffeine and lose little, if any, fluid. In a study published in the October issue of the Journal of the American College of Nutrition, researchers at the Center for Human Nutrition in Omaha measured how different combinations of water, coffee and caffeinated sodas affected the hydration status of 18 healthy adults who drink caffeinated beverages routinely. "We found no significant differences at all," says nutritionist Ann Grandjean, the study's lead author. "The purpose of the study was to find out if caffeine is dehydrating in healthy people who are drinking normal amounts of it. It is not." The same goes for tea, juice, milk and caffeinated sodas: One gl!@#$%^&* provides about the same amount of hydrating fluid as a gl!@#$%^&* of water. The only common drinks that produce a net loss of fluids are those containing alcohol and usually it takes more than one of those to cause noticeable dehydration, doctors say. The best /general/ advice (keeping in mind that there are always exceptions) is to rely upon your normal senses. If you feel thirsty, drink; if you don't feel thirsty, don't drink unless you want to. Now you can note where it says "normal amounts" of caffeine. I don't know what a normal amount of caffeine is. I know 6 sodas isn't a whole lot though. Diet Coke has 45 milligrams of caffeine per can (I guess Coke Zero is the same), so I consume about 250-300mg a day. I wouldn't call that an overly excessive amount. !@#$%^&*, most of those caffeine pills are 200mg each. Some Starbucks coffees have over 300 in one cup. There are tons of energy drinks that have 300 or even more (Fixx, Redline, etc). Plus my 250-300 mg is spread out over a whole day. I guess I should also note that I hadn't consumed alcohol in over a week or two prior to the meeting w/ my doctor. Since it does mention it in that snopes article, hah. Anyway, my problem isn't with hypertension... it's (possible) hypotension. My blood pressure is too low or maybe it's not. Like I said, I don't have any of the symptoms so I'm probably just blowing smoke at a problem that doesn't exist, should I even be worried unless I start randomly passing out or feeling dizzy? I just know it's been eating at me a bit. I'm thinking maybe that was an "extra" reason for the doctor prescribing me Adderall, since one of the major side effects of stimulants is (increasing) blood pressure. He was actually talking about prescribing me Dexosyn, which I had never heard of at the time... but now understand (could be wrong) to be the most potent and most abused medication for ADD/narcolepsy after doing some research since Thurs. I'll also say that I've never been diagnosed with narcolepsy (or possible ADD) before, so this is a first as far as my medical jacket goes... Psych when I was 17 said I had major depression disorder. Psych at Texas A&M said I had major depression disorder and general anxiety disorder. Psych at prison said I had major depression disorder with psychotic symptoms, GAD, and panic disorder. I've been on just about every anti-depressant you can think of though, but the last I stopped taking about a month ago (Lexapro - I believe a side effect of this *is* low blood pressure, but I've been off it a while). Uh, have been on Wellbutrin, Prozac, Paxil, Nortripaline (sp?), Effexor, other stuff I probably don't remember since I was 17. None really worked. Neither did anti-anxiety meds like Buspar and Xanax (I believe Wellbutrin is supposed to hit this area as well). The last 4 or 5 days I've felt the best I have in probably a decade and have actually been busy doing things instead of sleeping all day. One example, hadn't played poker in 3 months. Last 3 days, I'm up about $500 since I've actually had the motivation/energy/attentiveness to sit on my !@#$%^&* and grind out tables for about 4 hours a day, although I've only been playing 3 tables at once instead of my customary 5-6 as I try to get back in the swing of things. !@#$%^&*, for Picard or anyone that might know what I'm talking about: 50 single table sit n go tournaments. Buy-in's + fees = $1900 (avg buy in $38 - this includes some $25, $35, and $55 tourneys). Amount won $2461.50. Net profit $561.50. ROI (return on investment) 29.55%. 9 - 1st place, 6 - 2nd place, 8 - 3rd place. Avg finish 4.18. This is from my pokertracker stats for the last 3 days. I deleted all my old hand history info since it was a bit outdated. I'm not sure if I'm finally feeling like a "normal" person would (ie not constantly tired, unmotivated, depressed) or I'm just high off my meds though. I guess we'll find out if it keeps working. The doc did say you develop a tolerance so he recommended taking for a week or two, skipping for a few days, etc. as a way to stop the tolerance from building. It's really been quite amazing to be able to stay up the whole day without taking a 6 hour "nap".... I'm guessing Root was taken off Adderall for having high blood pressure. Not because of low blood pressure. That was basically what I was aiming at... I dunno if that influenced the doc or not. But he did mention that my blood pressure was really low, and asked me 5 or 6 questions, don't remember them all.. the passing out thing, dizziness, lightheadedness, etc, etc. And, yeah, I think I might be inventing a little lightheadedness now since he brought those up.. hahaha. Anyhoo.. I've done a little more digging and found lots of msgs of ppl concerned about increase in blood pressure after taking Adderall. So I imagine it couldn't hurt.

i dunno where else to put this, is there some arcade forum? anyway, this is related and i dont want to make a re!@#$%^&*ed new topic. just to say. thx for wasting like 3 of my hrs playing that battle pong trash. wtf. that game is all luck past like 1000. even up to 1000, you can lose anywhere after like 400 score cause theres the chance that the computer will get a paddle the size of the !@#$%^&*anic and move like speedy gonzalez. maybe im missing part of the rules, there isnt a way to get rid of !@#$%^&*ty powerups is there? i mean, i can handle the up/down reversal !@#$%^&*. but when i get 3 paddle size reducers or 3 movement speed reducers then im !@#$%^&*ed. i've had several 1200 games. one game i was about to win at 1200, until the computer did one of those elite hits where it bounces off like 15 powerups (if it had hit it like a split second earlier then it woulda done that cool thing where it scores on itself until it loses, ive had a round like that end in 2 seconds). anyhow, it ended up with a god!@#$%^&* king kong size paddle moving at light speed. plus it's kinda dumb cause a reverse direction powerup for the player is basically a second score. i mean, u just use it right after you score. get a couple of those at 1200 level and youve got it in the bag already (but i always get crappy powerups when i get to 1200, maybe its like coded in the game). anyway, it's also cool when the computer does that jig where it just decides to go to the top or bottom and sit there for a few rounds. ahh. ok. that's enough for now.

looks pretty cool, might be ok.. not really my type of game tho.. im more looking forward to fallout 3.. just hope bathesda doesnt oblivion level-scale that masser

no kidding? was that after the WII stunt? i figured ppl would have learned their lesson. the lady that died in the radio contest for the WII console actually came in 2nd.

well, that'll never happen! but imho, if there's going to be bullying, it's better that it's on the internet? i dont really get it. i mean, if you get bullied at your school arent you more likely to get some cache of weapons and go buck wild (or get your !@#$%^&* beat down and/or lots of wedgies, noogies, and indian sunburns)? what are you gonna do on the internet? hack into someones myspace account or something? bullying in person is much worse than the internet. but maybe im just old fashioned. i guess worst case is the suicide, like that 13 y/o girl did when that dumb !@#$%^&* mother or whatever made the fake myspace acct. or you can have something like this happen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70wZXEQ6kTs&fmt=18 omfg
