Which of course makes it more right and less annoying >_>

You get one Vote. Deal with it.

ScottyGEE wrote:The veto system is there so that people can have a choice (albeit small) in what you get to play...If you don't like the map/type then you can veto it...If others don't they can veto it...

How dare people try and tell me to change the map/type! I don't want to, otherwise I would have pressed veto in the first place. If someone tells me to veto, I don't out of spite...I then laugh as they complain and then proceed to lose, which then I realise their reason for vetoing is due to them being crappy at the level (well not always)...

It also leads to me muting players...I hate voice chat except for with friends or team games. The rest are full of singers, talkative people, whingers, prepubescent losers and well...People I don't want to listen to.

Also, bnet stats confuse me...I have 286 melee kills...Yet I have 444 melee medals (including assasinations). So I coupled it with sword kills and grav hammer kills and still get less than 444 melee kills as the medals say...So wut?

Flag kills? Bomb Kills?

Darn. I just got a message back form Joe Boyd Vigil, the guy that did the music for Toonami. Apparently he didn't do the song I'm looking for. I doubt any of you guys know what this song is called. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJhFZfd3A7c

Instead of just quoting all I shall just state what I see and feel in the rant thread.

Then I shall just sit and watch. As stated Hillary scares me, and as stated by Tural, in blunt form, She is cold. Feminist Vote for the Win. Then there is the rest...Obama reminds me a lot of various governors I have seen from time to time.

In Short, and I hope I

"America... United? Ha. The only time we ever have been truly united in recent history was 9-11.
All factions and Parties do is split us more, turning individuals into mindless zombies."

Hence the necessity for a candidate such as Obama or McCain, someone who knows that with this partisanship, we are destined to continue this downward spiral. They seek to unify, by any means necessary. They will break their party boundaries and look into what needs to be done for the country, not what their party wants to hear all the time.

Heh Heh...Will they now.

I most certainly hope so...just wait when the unexpected happens.

Then we will see.
You speak with such conviction.
I always thought an Individual not affiliated with a party (Independent) would have an easer time with that change.
Then again...the only time we have ever technically had an Independent president was George Washington ( and He was right ).

Chill out on the line breaks bro.

Also, I think that first comic is pretty fucking low honestly. Hillary is playing the gender card and trying to get lots of feminist voters that way, but Obama isn't playing the race card at all.

Your posts have no content. All you say is "They won't do anything" when you have no evidence. If you have a logical, fact-based argument, try to converse. Until then, your comments can not be taken seriously. Your entire basis is "Every politician is bad in every way even though I have no evidence." You're just playing devil's advocate, and you're accomplishing nothing other than starting arguments. And as stated, any attempt for me to take you seriously is gone, based on your unfounded claims and use of blatant ignorant propaganda. Do you know why you're here claiming the political system is screwed up? It's because of people like you. People who do nothing but talk about how bad we have it. Anyone can point out problems, it takes a leader to point out solutions. You are a follower. You say what you wish without any attempt or care to resolve the issues. Enjoy your continuous bashing of the political system and candidates, I hope it gets you far. If you hate politics, don't jump in and start conflicts. I'll cease conversing with you, as within two posts you've managed to remove any possibility for a logical discussion. You've taken a fighting stance on the issue, rather than an open discussion stance. Respond how you wish, your comments fall upon deaf ears.

Tural i believe INSANEdrive is referencing the past politics in that many politicians will make promises that they cannot and will not keep.

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Mon Feb 11, 2008 2:03 pm

He stated it about Barack Obama and John McCain.

jim20af · Post by **jim20af** » Mon Feb 11, 2008 7:42 pm

yea well all he said is we'll see, in other words politicians are known to not keep promises.

Two people with the same avatar! NOOOOOOO! Now I'll actually have to read the person's name to see who it is...Now come on, that sucks. So primitive!

You know you love us.

You know...I could do it as well.

Although nice touch on your sig, Tural, but Nebraska is lighter than the rest. Did you mean it like that or was it standard?

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Mon Feb 11, 2008 9:44 pm

On the day of the primaries, they were updating the image on BO.com to light up states he had won. Nebraska came in first, so when I looked it was the only one lit up. Later on the others from that day were as well.

Here it is without the map if you want it:

My rant is my avatar might be way too cool for me.

I could always put it as my avatar as well, wouldn't that be fun,

All the cool kids are doing it.

ScottyGEE · Post by **ScottyGEE** » Mon Feb 11, 2008 10:28 pm

Must fight peer pressure (as it has little relevance to me)! Or should I give in since as Tural has been saying, you have the nukes?

But if Obama gets kool enough to out-do K_b's avatar takeover then...I dunno, it'll annoy me more than K_b's thing did
