That's a fine question Jythier. Hey, do you think they check for proof of citizenship when you run for Congress? You're damn skippy they do. But I've decided to have fun with it, just like with the 911 Truthers. Some of their claims were pretty outlandish too. But for as long as suckers buy the books and conference tickets then someone is gonna keep dishing it out, and you gotta admit the nutjob predators out there have come up with some really compli

Absolutely correct doogles. But hey, while they were way off on the facts, at least they didn't use the "Reefer Madness" poster as the icon. That would have been over the line. Good follow-through on posting those links by the way.

I am a usually a closeted Brony, but I feel safe enough with you gaming and political nerds to open up here. Heh. But what is a guy to do when a Made in the USA animated show comes on that has good story lines and well above average animation? Not to mention that the lady that makes Friendship is Magic is the same lady that gave us The Powerpuff Girls...freaking awesome. I could go on at some length, but anybody still here after those previous posts totally gets what I

Very helpful, thanks.

[quote who="dwhee" reply="51" id="3199162"]It is really shocking the number of proud entrepreneurs in this country who don't know what a pronoun is. Either that or it's even more surprising how many entrepreneurs think that they build roads. Or simply the number of entrepreneurs who think it's ok to post ridiculously sensationalist headlines because hey, Fox News does it. I really don't understand that. And of course, by "that" I mean "Obama is a socialist who think

Hey Island Dog and Skittles, I got my email and it's downloading fine now, thanks to your sage-like assistance. Thank you very much.

Nobody else's! Just mine! Those guys are jerks. Ha!

Thanks for that Skittles, I did not have that box checked. If the mails already went out, would I be able to trouble someone to send mine again?

[quote who="redskittlesonly" reply="21" id="3199165"]We will notify all pre-order customers my email when the game is available. Promise![/quote] Ok Skittles, I'm going to trust you this time. But I caution you my dear, those that disappoint me usually come to a, shall we say, sticky end! So yes, I cover them in orange marmalade. You have been warned!

So then we'll get an email with our activation code, then use that code on the "activate a product on Steam" page? I'm still a little fuzzy on how we'll get the whole thing going.

Am I? My point was in direct contradiction to yours I thought... So you're saying that the school district should give the money back just because your kid is a lazy scrub? That's the analogy I was making to your statement that business owners who can't hack it should be able to get their infrastructure money back. I am against rewarding failure in general, but go ahead and tell me why I'm wrong on this Diawa.

[quote who="Koskee" reply="3" id="3198961"]the game goes live in 12 hours, I assume you'll be able to get it then. The game is through steam, if you don't have it yet, get it. I doubt you'll be able to download it via the website, but some steam games you can.[/quote] So then, I am told by my shadowy informants that you are on the east coast Koskee, so you were meaning that it was going to be released at like 1 p.m. EST today? I have been all over Steam&#

Thank you for that...now I can go to bed...sleep in...and after I wake, lead my candidate Douchebag Haircut to victory! Good times!

[quote who="Daiwa" reply="41" id="3198094"] One of the flaws in such an idea is that it is non-reciprocal. No business "directly" profits from infrastructure. What about all the businesses which fail, the ones infrastructure "didn't do shit for"? Should an individual who sunk his money and sweat equity into a business which failed, but who paid taxes along the way, demand some of his money back? Just as some things are simply "the cost of doing b

[quote who="Daiwa" reply="38" id="3197961"] Quoting TheFunkMaster, reply 34In point of fact, the president WAS and still is being quoted out of context in order to make it sound as if the President was saying that "you didn't build your business", not "you didn't build the infrastructure that your business depends on". Nothing was taken out of context, nothing was 'twisted'. The straw man here is your attempt to convince us he meant something other than h

You could not be any more correct. Americans need to be willing to pay slightly more for quality products Made In America. Right on.

[quote who="Draginol" reply="34" id="3197709"]Well you have convinced me, FunkMaster. I vote that we insist that the federal budget concern itself exclusively with infrastructure, defense, and education. I look forward to a huge tax cut now that we can get rid of things that have absolutely no net benefit to businesses.[/quote] Hey Draginol, I gotta say your message started of great. Really strong beginning there. Heh. And if you&

[quote who="Daiwa" reply="26" id="3197226"]Every business is enabled by what preceded it (speaking of neon-green buffaloes). But no business is organized around the principal that future businesses (or individuals, for that matter) owe them anything beyond payment for services or goods. What about 'infrastructure' requires us to assume that we 'owe' anything to those who created it, who did so in their own self-interest? We 'owe' the idea of road

[quote who="Jythier" reply="32" id="3197524"]Reminds me of the parents who think their kids should be indebted to them for 'all they've done for them'. Well, if you've spent 18 years with me, and haven't given me any reason to love and respect you, I don't think I owe you much at all. It's a last ditch effort to exert control over someone - call something that isn't really a debt a debt, and make them owe you.[/quote] Wow...well leaving asid

HAHAHA! I am going to make that my desktop background. Very nicely done!

Self interest is without a doubt what primarily drives our economy, and that productive work is what produces taxes is also not at issue in my post. You kinda just proved my point actually. Worker's production = taxes = roads and bridges, and those same roads and power cables and whatnot are necessary for just about any business to operate...so every business in America owes it's existence, in part, to the infrastructure that we all made possible. And yes, then

[quote who="KaiserTeufel" reply="3" id="3140511"] And why, why must you stick with those awful looking bobble heads? [/quote] For the record, I think the bobble-heads are both apt depictions of our political figures and fun. Who doesn't love a good caricature/bobble-head? I'm even considering stating that bobble-heads are as American as Mom and Apple Pie. So that makes me wonder what kind of person doesn't like Mo
