Come one Spanky, more generalizations. A typical work day is 8 hours. There is time to do stuff, even on the weekdays. It's stupid to claim people go to work, eat, and then go to sleep, that's not true at all. I don't know anybody that does that. 

Also, debt isn't a bad thing, it's actually a great thing. It's only when debt gets out of hand that it becomes problematic. If you're using the money you borrow wisely and make it worth it, you will have no problems. Borrowing money to go to college is a great idea, as long as you're learning something useful. Borrowing money to get a philosophy degree is bad. Borrowing money to get an engineering degree is good. It all comes down to how you use the money.

the idea that you have to take out a loan that you will be paying pretty much the rest of your life to be educated is stupid. Why should someone who doesnt have money not have the same opportunity to go to school and learn as a person who does have money? That makes sense to you? really? And dont go calling someone a "crazy conspiracy theorist" because of their beliefs. I believe a lot of things that people look down on because they are crazy. for example i believe that 9/11 was an inside job and was a ploy to start a war. Our government is the most corrupt thing on this planet and again all of these problems are brought on by money. Grapes is right money buys you out of anything and it's wrong. Calling someone stupid or saying what they say is bull shit makes me angry and it's a very arrogant thing to say. I agree 100% with you spanky. I tend to base my thoughts off of facts

Money is the cause of all problems in this world. I like the idea of a resource based economy which is actually already being put into place. If you know what the venus project is you know what im talking about. if not check it out :http://www.thevenusproject.com/

The fact of the matter is you get paid based on how hard you are to replace. Almost anyone can do physical labor, but not everyone can be a computer programmer, you need to go to school for that.

As far as the topic goes, I'm sick of idiot spoiled Americans proclaiming their great county is shit just because it's not perfect. It's stupid beyond belief.

As far as it goes for me I wouldnt consider myself a "spoiled American proclaiming my country is shit" As i said before i wouldnt want to live anywhere else. I'd rather fix the issues that this country has and you cannot deny it has issues. First step to solving a problem is knowing and admitting the problem. Not just turn the other cheek and ignore them and say the country is not in trouble because it is.

I grabbed this as well. Makes life a little easier

1. Valid point
2. No, our obesity rate is right on par with the UK
3. No, it's actually very good compared to most other countries.

Our economy isn't in a free fall, it's been getting stronger ever since the recession. It's not that great, but it's a hell of a lot better than what most of Europe is going through right now. I really don't understand how any sane person can call the U.S., one of the wealthiest developed countries, shit. Especially compared to all the 3rd world countries there are. It's ridiculous and basically comes down to Americans bitching because they always need to find something to bitch about.

actually our education system is falling in comparison to other countries. Right now we are rated "average". On a scale that goes to 1000 here are the scores of the us in different subjects:
Math-487
Reading-500
Science-502

And in reading skills we are ranked 14th among the world. Those scores are all showing 50 to me. Passing all throughout school was a 65. I dont think we should settle for average ESPECIALLY in the education department. If you ask me I think we need to revamp our entire education system. Europes education system is something i believe we should model ours after because ours is not that great.

and about the economy I would suggest checking out this site http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/30-signs-that-the-u-s-economy-is-about-to-go-into-the-toilet

brings up a lot of good points.

Of course. One of the highest standard of livings in the world = complete shit. Sound logic there. Either you're completely spoiled by living in such a nice country, or you're a complete moron.

Yes we have a high standard of living but things in this country are getting worse and worse. Our government is getting so bad its sickening. Our economy is in a free fall as usual. Most other countries in the world laugh at us because:
1.We have more people imprisoned than any other country in the world.

2.We have the worst obesity problem in the world.

3.Our education system is absolutely horrible.

That all being said would i want to live anywhere else? No I wouldnt. Things DO need to change in this country though and they need to change soon.

I don't want be a downer but 99% of the BSP in your map isn't aligned properly.

really? I've been snapping everything to the grid and making sure nothings overlapping.

so i put 4 security cameras in my map and they all work fine and everything in the 2.4.1 when i test the map. But now all of a sudden i can no longer open the map in 2.5? When i type "open office" nothing shows up at all and it wont let me run a lan server on the map anymore either. The map is in my 2.5 maps folder. I have no idea what couldve caused this.
