  1. and little big planet. i wnat to play that game bad! oh well though, not bad enough to drop the coin for a PS3 when i already have a 360 and stack of games for it. about the blu-ray, strong rumor lately that samsung has developed a stand alone blu-ray player for the 360(like the HD-DVD add on) that will sell for ~<$200. microsoft has denied this rumor, but they've denied many rumors that ended up being true.
  2. yea, im just hoping arlovski will be one of the few that can actually make it a few rounds. if he can, this will be an awesome fight. i was really dissapointed that the fedor-silva fight didn't even last a minute. people like to hate on big tim, but, just put your self in that position, there is no sure fire strategy to take on fedor so you just gotta pick something and go with it. unfortunatly, trading punches looked to be one of the worst strategies, lol. i believe fedor also has a fight scheduled with barnett, i think its his next fight after arlovski. either that or it was scheduled before hand and canceled(dont remember, i saw fedors fight schedule like 2 months agor or something).
  3. i honestly dont ever see dana letting the UFC go to shit. evidentally he was pretty pissed while watching the silva fight. yes, i know everyone thinks he's a POS, but he is the one that built UFC(and MMA) up to what it is today, and i dont see him just letting it fall apart. and i cant wait for the fedor-arlovski fight, should be awesome! i believe that its the sports comissions that mandate weight classes. dont quote me on that though.
  4. i think that the 360 is the better gaming machine, and that xbox live is far superior to the PS3 online. but the PS3 is pretty much the cheapest blu-ray player on the market, while also not being a bad game console at all. i doubt you would be dissapointed with either. for online games, you cant beat halo 3 and CoD4. forza motorsport 2 is also a great sim racer, although not quite up to GT5(but FM3 is in development, no release estimate though).
  5. i heard whitealero - and every other democrat - doesn't know fact from fiction.
  6. ...but i like my soapbox, even if it is small and rickety...
  7. fact check on obama's supposed tax cuts for those who make under $250k i thought obama was looking to raise taxes on people making $250k+. appearantly he has decided to drop $50k from that, lowering it to $200k. and biden seems to think its $150k. so, which is it? how long till its $50k? Biden says $150k (not sure how youtube vids are embedded at this place)
  8. Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this: The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing. The fifth would pay $1. The sixth would pay $3. The seventh would pay $7. The eighth would pay $12. The ninth would pay $18. The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59. So, that's what they decided to do. The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve. 'Since you are all such good customers,' he said, 'I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20.' Drinks for the ten now cost just $80. The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men - the paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his 'fair share?' They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay. And so: The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings). The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33% savings). The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28% savings). The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings). The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings). The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings). Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings. 'I only got a dollar out of the $20 declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man, 'but he got $10!' 'Yeah, that's right,' exclaimed the fifth man. 'I only saved a dollar, too. It's unfair that he got ten times more than I!' 'That's true!!' shouted the seventh man. 'Why should he get $ 10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!' 'Wait a minute,' yelled the first four men in unison. 'We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!' The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up. The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill! And that, ladies and gentlemen, journalists and college professors, is how the tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier. For those who understand, no explanation is needed. For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible.
  9. so why the hell did they 'machine' the hubs for a 5 lug when they could just do an SN95 swap? they ruined that damn car. its too late for it, the crusher now! they used a 351W equipped mustang for the drift scenes in 'tokyo drift' because the low end power made it much easier to drift. take THAT JDM fanboys!
  10. oh, nevermind, im pretty sure your right. GM should have color matched the engine cover, emblems, and calipers to the body color of the car or something. pretty stupid keeping them blue when you offer colors like red for the body.
  11. you can get them in colors other than blue, i know black for sure.

  13. sounds like going for the A&P is my best bet. not much of a loss, i cant see my self not enjoying working on aircraft anyless than working on cars. thanks a lot guys(and girls)!
  14. im talking about these, not conspiracy theories, who endorses whos campaign, and 'joe the plubmer' signs(lol).
  15. naw, by "i dont care" i mean that im not gonna spend hours in a stupid arguement. i will spend a little time in one if im really that bored though. my grammar? its the internet, like i care. and you didn't exactly point out exactly what you were referring to either, so my bad on missing what you were talking about(i guess?). and LOL at the use of more condescending remarks, nice! to address your edit, i never claimed that you said those were the reasons you were voting for obama. i was simply explaining my stand on all of this, and pointing out how ignorant these smear tactic articles and rhetoric that you and others keep posting up are.
  16. im just sick of seeing this rediculous crap pushed as a reason to vote for someone or not vote for someone. its just stupid! i mean, god forbid a discussion of the issues is takes place here. no offence meant if there was anything offensive.
  17. i agree with the thoughts involved in this topic. that is all.
  18. ive been waiting all day for someone to post this little gem of media smear! just like when this same thing was brought up about cindy mccain, why the hell does it matter? but, i digress, we all know that how much the wardrobe costs is more important than a candidates stand on gun control or a candidates voting record.(sarcasm for those that didnt catch it)
  19. you really got pissed because i posted a study that shows that the media has a bias towards obama??? you know what, i dont know. there, i said it. go ahead, kick back and enjoy your "win" over someone on the internet. i have much better things to do than search some crap on google to "prove" you wrong, just for you to discredit every bit of it. you know, i could be an asshole and do the same thing everytime someone posts some pro-obama crap, but i really dont care. im voting for mccain simply on the issues, not on all this stupid bullshit about who can deliver the best speaches, or who his buddies were in college, or because of what a celebrity said, and i dont need to prove anything to anyone, especially over the internet. go ahead, keep on tossing out insults and playing games so you can be "better at the internet", because i simply dont give a shit either way.
  20. wow, real nice. and i thought there might actually be some mature factual posts out of you. who the hell am i kidding? im having trouble figuring out if your that stupid or just playing the "lets play dumb" game. oh well, just ignore the facts, like i really care. are you even voting on the issues? oh, of course not. your voting for obama because its popular. continue the smear tactics, the rest of us aren't blind, its not that hard to see whats going on here.
  21. i have statistics if you would like. BTW, for anyone still thinking 'joe the plumber' is a "plant": http://preview.ussearch.com/preview/ala/newsearch?&searchLName=Wurzelbacher&searchState=OHIO&searchCity=holland&adID=619100D754&adsource=9&TID=0&cid=people&searchtab=people oh, look at that, he does actually live there. who would have thought? this "conspiracy theory" is even worse than the lame 9/11 conspiracies. here you go: http://www.journalism.org/files/u29/LEAD_CHART_2.png http://www.journalism.org/files/u29/image007.png http://www.journalism.org/files/u29/image008.png looking at this last one, it appears that, hhmmm, maybe fox news is the more unbiased of the 3, considering their near equal campaign coverage? http://www.journalism.org/node/11266 theres a lot more in there too, click on the 'table of contents' links. no 'de·lu·sion' here.
  22. damn, how did i forget that one? lol either way, talking about his policies, not him. but i dont have to say this, becuase this is just a "lets play dumb" article.
  23. LOL, i love the 'lets play stupid' articles! everyone knows that the "socialist" thing is referring to his tax policies! "take from the rich, give to the poor, Obama Hood is on his way!!!"
