As they get older they will realize that both sides are corrupt and both sides start wars and both sides use oil and both sides lie about the other sides' intentions. Its all a game to distract from the truth that both sides are owned by corporations.
The problem with politics is political ideologies. Rather than doing decisions on a pragmatic and scientific basis, people want to label themselves with names like "conservative" and "liberal" and follow a certain dogma.
Quite many pro environmentalists oppose limiting and controlling immigration and see no logical flaw in that.

Because it's a shitty way to control population and even shittier way to protect the environment. Do you think that the Jungles of Vietnam got less polluted when U.S military dropped millions of gallons of Agent Orange into them? The chemicals and bombs dropped back in the 1960s still have an effect on SE Asia. Polluted farmlands, babies being born as sick with birth defects because of the chemicals and people dying to mines and bombs that are buried in the jungle.

The more stable the society and economy is, the more people have time and resources to care about more than just their own personal safety. If you look at any war ridden third world country, they are far from being some sort of natural paradise. I could get more into detail but it's just easier to summarize it like this: when you live in a country that is actively fighting a war (I'm not talking about sending men to Iraq or Afghanistan, I'm talking bombing cities, urban warfare etc. Picture what it was like to live in an European city during WW2), everything but surviving another day is absolutely irrelevant.

Would you rather live in a war zone? Thought so.

"Play 1 system at a time"

This isn't something you just normally do? If so, sadly I don't think 1 day is going to make up for all the energy you are wasting :P

It looks others didn't get your joke and think you meant this literally. How sad.

No you didn't, since it wasn't my question. Besides,I responded in a measured way and you selectively took quotes out of context until the meaning was lost and you were left sputtering something about the Vietnam war and agent orange. To quote the movie stripes,
" lighten up Francis"

ninjainspandex is the source of the quote you attribute to me. Didn't you read the post? If so, how did you get so confused? If not. no wonder. It was clearly a funny joke for those of us with a sense of humor. Perhaps an anger management course would help?
Keep laughing and try and be nicer. It is only a comments section.....not the magna Carta. Sheesh.

Perhaps the confusion is arising from the fact that you aren't using the [ quote ] tags.

Code: Select all

[quote]You do it like this[/quote]

Applequeso, thanks for helping. But If you read the threads, as I suggested to megegrothx, you would see that I referenced ninjainspandex. Also and more importantly top your point, megegrothx had already quoted Ninjainspandex so there was no need to establish the source a second time. DOP!
No sense of humor on these boards? Sheesh

Lithium Batteries should be in all controllers, 1+ for PS3 controller -1 for 360 and Wii controllers, also 1+ for GBA SP/DS/PSP.

I havent bought batteries since the original GBA till i got a Wii couple years ago for those stupid Wii motes.
