The monkey in office? You're not talking about Bush are you?

I think a lot of PC games are about $40-50 when new, so $45 sounds reasonable.

[Ace22]

Yes, I'm talking about him.

I think I told you guys this but here goes: We almost had Cheney as a president due to a pretzel.

[link.the.first]

Huh?

Bush has absolutely no control whatsoever over video game prices. Everyone keeps blaming him for things well beyond his control. The president can't do everything. That's the idea of a democracy.

[Ace22]

(He almost choked to death.)

Not the game prices, it's the value of the dollar when compared to other currencies.

The video and PC games cost here about 30-60 euros. The cost depends on what kind of game are you buying and what kind of popularity the game or the company that made it has.


But i still sthink that 48 euros for a Bf 42 is too much. (i bought it about 2 years ago)

[crave22]

Holy crap! That translates over to $57.60! Over here Bf42 goes for about $30 (25 euros)!

Democoracy isn't real. You can only have debased forms of it. Because even the most Democratic Democracy (ie No Reps.) still ac't guarantee that everyone will vote or will get the right to

[7th_Panzer]

Democracy is impossible, and even if it were, it society would devolve to the rule of the mob. Even with inherent faults in humanity, a republic is the optimal form of government, in my opinion.

[Jsmooth13]

Because it is, but anyway i just read this thing and probably just saw a cargo plane not lit up all the way. I have a C-5 Base and a C-130 Base here where I live and thats what they look like when they come over my house.

[7th_Panzer]

It was way too small for that. These things were low to the ground, and making no noise. There were a few of them, and maneuvering, much too agile for a cargo plane.

Well since you brought up the government thing again Clinton's the one who caused the inflation, not Bush. The democrats get more out of blaming Bush because he's the only one they're in competition with and saying it was Clinton won't help them win at all. Bush is helping, but we won't see the results until after his term. Once that's done, the next president will take credit. If the Democrats win the next election, they will no doubt be really hard on Bush and Republicans and say they are making the economy better but are really spending too much on welfare. After their term, if the Republicans win they will blame them for the sudden lack of funds and try to make them look bad.

All right, a total democracy is impossible, but the USA is close enough to one so there are a lot of things the federal government has absolutely no control over. These seem to be the things everyone blames Bush for because they know he really can't directly fix them.

[Ace22]

Clinton did not cause inflation, I can tell you that. Several of his years in office, he got the country a 200 million dollar surplus. Meanwhile, Bush merely plunges us deeper in debt.

[Jsmooth13]

Yeah, link ace is right on this one

[link.the.first]

This is a really tough time. We don't have much choice besides spending more on military. So it raises the price of a few things and we have to be more conservative. GET OVER IT!

If we had Kerry he would have pulled out of Iraq right away to say it was helpful. Then the terrorist groups would see the United States as weak and we would no longer be in a position to do anything about them. Now we are becase their countries are right next to Iraq. Besides, he's one of the biggest hypocrites I've ever seen. Who knows what he really supports.

"The troops in Iraq still don't have proper body armor.
*votes against body armor*

"I will support gun ownership."
*pushes to ban guns*

And I know Clinton screwed things up. He signed lots of false financial statements to try to cover his own incompedence. If it were Bush we probably wouldn't have seen the effects the instant he took office.

Don't say the war is useless. If we had let Saddaam keep it up he could be on his way to building nukes by now. And if any terrorists get a nuke, they are sure to use it. They are the one group that will use them because they want us to nuke them back and turn allies against us when they get covered with radiation.

[7th_Panzer]

Coulda, woulda, shoulda.....

We're there now, they are voting, and that is all that matters in the end.

The world should realize now that despite assumed alterior motives and conspiracy theories, America is the most honorable nation on the planet. Who else would bleed for people half a world away?

[crave22]

You realise Joe Sixpack is sittin in his arm chair, and his biggest conflict is whether to take the risk of lettin' one rip or hold it in and be polite.

The government: Yes, that is true. The majority of citizens: Humph. Yeah, right.
