The Lounge / Re: Global Warming - What's your opinion?
« on: Sunday, February 19, 2012, 06:12:47 AM »
im not sure where i stand on global warming, i havent done enough research really.

What else can we use to power our cars besides oil, electricity? If we use electricity it has to be made by some coal or nuclear plant somewhere that causes just as much damage as driving a car using oil. Don't get me wrong, I think we need an alternative to oil, I just don't think we should be affected in the process of getting that alternative.

this however, i have researched and the solutions been here for thousands of years, only 1 problem, its illegal... hemp.

(you can call me a dirty hippy all you want, but truth be told, hemp isnt marijuana. Hemp has all kinds of benefits, such as fuel, energy and no more wasting trees for paper.  and it regenerates)

The Lounge / Osama bin Ladin
« on: Sunday, February 19, 2012, 05:57:11 AM »
So this debate might upset some... but i thought it was an interesting topic. So if you live in North America, you have probably heard  'we killed Osama Bin Ladin in a raid, and threw his body over-board into the sea'... Well, I found links claiming Osama was dead years before the usa claimed. Apperently a couple cia agents and the friends of osama claim this....

now, when I hear accusations like this, even from CIA agents, I ask myself, if they were lying, why? what would they have to gain from it?...so far, drawing a blank.

Now I ask myself, what would we have to gain if we really didnt kill Osama, but claimed we did... and all i can think is more support for the war from Americans? Obama kept his promise he made at the beginning of his campaign, maybe help re-election? Closure? like all the lives lost weren't for capital gain and control?

and not going to lie, I had suspicions about the full story when I heard we got him, but just threw him over board. No pics, just our word.

my conclusion is: they are/were only trying to sell the war. make people think its the right thing to do.

well killaman, guess we'll jus have to agree to disagree... but i just want to add "you dont click on any biased website"...so therefore you dont inform yourself of candidates? or do you just get your info from cnn or fox (dont even think i need to say this, but both, obviously biased). Just saying, look into where candidates stand on issues and hold em to what you support...... and no matter what candidate you look into, you could call their stance biased.

I've heard the name Romney but couldn't pick him out of a line up.
I don't go republican or democrat. I look up what each guy's stances are on various subjects. That's why I voted Obama. I don't agree with everything but he represented me better than McCain did so... yea.

I don't think I'll continue voting though. I voted Obama and although he did win, my redneck state voted more for McCain so my vote didn't do anything. Also, I hate the whole "new president every 4 years" thing. Hiring/firing new people, spending so much on campaigns, it's such a waste. It seems like it takes forever to get anything done.

i agree, I'm discouraged with the electoral voting system to, and I didn't even vote last election, because I didnt like either... I would of went green party....(wish it did go off popular vote, then your vote would count) but i guess recently I found a little hope and will vote if ron paul is on the ballet... otherwise, it just seems that democrats take over where republicans left off and republicans take over where democrats left off.... just never ending.

but glad you atleast took time to look into their stances, more than alot of people do...(especially ones that cant look into it cuz of fear from biased link)

You call me close minded yet you blindly support Ron Paul and use his biased views in a debate. That's cute. Love how you had to resort to insults though, it shows who really won the argument.

Also, Still waiting.

... i posted a link, to ron pauls website, that explains.

and fyi, i dont blindly suppport ron paul, ive looked into each candidate.... and i didnt even know there was an argument. thought this was a debate forum. 8)

Is Ron Paul running for president?

hes just candidate for republican party.... he is currently behind mitt romney in polls.

kinda going to be sad if Mitt Romney wins, your choices will be- Obama... obama health care plan and i need not say more.

or Romney... which he directly stated he wants to raise tax on middle class, and even more tax on the poor so the rich pay less tax... and he worries me too as far as where he stands on anything, because almost every time he votes it changes... example, in 2002 he was kind of against the NRA ...in 2008 he joined the NRA... and its like that with alot of issues.
and he also wants Romney care plan, which is alot like Obama Health Care, except abortions will be paid by tax payers... FREE ABORTIONS, bang like rabbits!


ron paul is really the only one who has voted the same for like 30 years.

seriously, americans should research the candidates that runs, not just 'ill vote repulican' or 'ill vote democrat'. ... and You should vote for who you think is best, but please, research what these guys stand for.

lawl, I have done my research... but ron pauls honest money, probably best method. And I lost my credibility? tell me why more US soldiers support RON PAUL than any other candidate?

And I never once said THE dollar has been replaced in the international currency.... I said countries have been wanting and are trying to switch currencys for awhile and that the dollar is no longer accepted in alot of countries... umad you got to put words in my mouth? and the whole "cool 6 years ago"...as i stated, ITS OLD but thats how long this crisis has been predicted. But look it up, shit, china, russia and iran are the big ones, but theres roughly like 20 other countries who dont want to use to US dollar system... and you cant blame them.

anyways, im done debating with close minded fool such as yourself, made my point. have a good weekend  ::)

your post is so faceplam worthy I don't know where to start.

OK, fist of all, a few placed not accepting the US dollar as currency means not. If I went to the UK and tried to pay with a US dollar they would tell me to get lost. That's a useless point. There is a difference between a country using a second form of currency and the US dollar being a world currency. Also, you have yet to post anything that that shows countries are favoring the Euro over the dollar, just an article, dated 2009 I might add, that say a few countries were considering it.


Are you kidding? at one time, when our dollar wasnt a big joke, other countries would be thrilled to accept the dollar.... like Mexico for example. shit.  ... but you want a link saying a country favors euro? shit, heres one of iran (ya its old, thats how old this news is and how long this shits been predicted)  even talks how Saddam tried the same thing, he obviously didnt succeed thou.

http://www.projectcensored.org/top-stories/articles/9-irans-new-oil-trade-system-challenges-us-currency/

and just want to add, I did say to research it... but obviously you didnt. so ill tell you again, RESEARCH IT before you blab about it.

As for your second set of comments, you clearly do no understand how the Fed operated and what it is supposed to do. We print more money because money is constantly being destroyed, so to balance it out, we need to put more into the economy. Printing more money is also important when it comes to facing recessions. Yes, printing money causes inflation, but the extra money for the time being can help ease the pain of an economic crisis The idea of printing more money has nothing to do with paying off debt, you're stupid to think so. Stop talking as if you know more about money and the economy than the Fed does, you don't.

I never said anything along the lines of "let's keep trying a system that has failed." I'll tell you what, since you seem to know everything about the economy and how it is awful, YOU come up with a better system and then you can talk shit about capitalism all you want. Until then though, capitalism is the best we have.

First you tell me to stop talking as if i know more about money and economy than the feds do? I never claimed that i know more than the feds, but then you go on to tell me since i know everything about the economy, I should come up with a better system.
I can see my words must of made ya a little butt hurt... sorry, ill put some lube on this time, ya ready?

1st off, I cant explain the federal reserve and how they operate any better than  ron paul

http://www.ronpaul.com/congress/legislation/audit-the-federal-reserve-fed-hr-459-s202/

and i love how trying to audit them is just a mission failure. heaven forbid ANYBODY really knew how they operated...

2nd off,  i dont have to think of a new system, somebody else already did, if people (like you) would wake up and look into who they are voting for and what they stand for, they would know theres already solutions.

Think ron pauls honest money issue about sums it up

http://www.ronpaul.com/on-the-issues/fiat-money-inflation-federal-reserve-2/

also theres a little more education bout the federal reserve in there, for ya.

peace,

A few things.

First, The Euro won't replace the dollar anytime soon if ever seeing as the EU crisis is worse than the one here in the U.S.

lawl. alot of countries are already trying to switch from the US dollar to euro or other currencies..

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/the-demise-of-the-dollar-1798175.html

http://standardtimespress.org/?p=137

http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/US_dollar_no_longer_accepted_at_Taj_Mahal_and_other_Indian_historical_sites

http://www.thepeoplesvoice.org/TPV3/Voices.php/2011/02/03/mexican-government-successfully-sheds-th

even mexico is starting to reject the US dollar. Research it. (not talking bout watching cnn or fox)

second, printing more money doesn't cause inflation, releasing money into the economy does. We have billions of dollars sitting in warehouses ready to be put into the economy when it is needed. Money constantly gets destroyed, so we need to keep putting some back into the economy.

lawl again. What do you think the point is in printing money? and we put it into the economy when needed?... like, when gas prices go up? food? The more money printed by the federal reserve, the more debt for the country, the more the american's pay, due to your $$ being worth less.

i found this, this breaks it down better that I ever could. http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/it-is-now-mathematically-impossible-to-pay-off-the-u-s-national-debt

The Euro has a fixed exchange rate (which is what the gold standard would be), meaning they cannot devalue their money nor can they print more. This means that even if their economy is going downhill, there is literally no way for them to try to counterbalance it by devaluing or printing more money. There are pros and cons to both sides, but we're better off how we are right now.

Well as history has proven again and again, 'printing' your way out of debt only prolongs the inevitable. I respect your views, but the whole 'lets keep trying a system that has proven failure'... can't comprehend.

I think our major problem is, that our US dollar isnt backed by shit. It's just printable. We print Millions every couple weeks, and bail out banks and other companies (that are funded by feds) by just printing paper. The more money we print, the less value our dollar has, which is why prices on everything go up each and every year.

Now if we backed the US dollar with gold and silver, prices would stay pretty consistent. The price of things don't really go up, your dollar is just becomes worth less than before.

And looking even deeper into the situation, I (and many others) believe that one day, nobody will want the US dollar. Right now the US dollar is the international currency, meaning, if Russia wants to buy oil from Iran, they have to exchange Russia currency into US dollar, and Iran has to exchange their money into US currency to do the oil trade. Then Iran would have to exchange currencies once again. basically huge hassle for some paper that isn't backed by shit.

Another interesting fact, Major countries of the UN had a meeting last year (leaving America out) and they want to change the world currency to Euro.

Now if that happened (or when), I would expect America to go into another great depression, banks closing and taking the money, ect ect... 

long story short, you should invest in something REAL, like gold or silver...or anything that has some kind of value other than green printed money. would be a good investment in long run.

just my 2 cents.

PS: i dont think 2012 is last year of life, but ironically enough, my bday is on 'dooms day'. 12/21/2012 :)

 so you can hang out with me if you want to live  8) lol.

WTF is that, just go rent you own server.............and play with all your friends, cause thats what we are doing and our friends play by our rules.



 i agree with the whole 'admins pay, admins make the rules, thats cool n all, but umm, 1 question? Your against people typing/saying swear words in the game of aao, but its ok to use abbreviations for swear words in an aao forum? and no, im personally not offended by swearing, just thought that made you look a lil hypocritical.

You can still only see the members on your own fire team so again it goes to the team work scenario.
I like it, it also allow you to find objectives easier on complex maps that noobs could spend the whole round not finding with the compass.

I agree with that statement, but in all honesty, I personally don't want SAI on my screen while playing, i feel its unrealistic for a game thats based on realism since 1.0, I feel thats where the devs went wrong was limiting movements and radar.

But I do absolutely agree, that some players NEED SAI after comin from 2.8,  so they dont cap me in the back and can learn report locations... so all in all, im for throwing SAI or radar in the future, all i ask is you make a hotkey, like f9 or f10 (somethin, don matter) that disables it for old skoolers like myself.
