It certainly is amazing how a phenomena that by definition is affecting the entire planet has focused on your personal weather situation. It must be nice to be the center of the universe. :rolleyes: -------------------- Synergy, et al - "I don't get it." Argon - "I'm at a loss for words..."

Meh. Filling out the forms is the easy part. Figuring out how much you should make, and withhold, over the course of the year so that you end up owing the Feds less than $30 is hard. After all, the refund check was just an interest free loan you gave to the government. Hah haaaaa... -------------------- Synergy, et al - "I don't get it." Argon - "I'm at a loss for words..."

vbulletin allows /baleet. It shows the post structure, but not the contents. Contents that are quoted elsewhere are also suppressed. It is heaven, and if a person isn't just being stupid with the function, you don't miss anything worthwhile. -------------------- Synergy, et al - "I don't get it."

Isn't it sad that how a candidate conducts themself during this lengthy interview process is even more important than actual qualifications? I'm not sure that anyone can perform at our expectation levels for as long as this travesty continues. I predict more gaffes, more desperate low level campaign workers digging up more dirt, and less actual content until this whole thing is straightened out at the convention. Even then, it will be messy, with the Democratic Party having within reach two of their gold medals. Now if only Hillary was black, or Barack was a woman.... -------------------- Synergy, et al - "I don't get it." Argon - "I'm at a loss for words..."

quote:Yeah, but your urge, maybe better put as "be accepted" is not to copy various aspects of your surrounding community of people and wear them as various guises. In high school, at least in Oregon, a person has a real struggle to be accepted as who they are unless they allow part of themselves to be more like that group of which they are trying to be part. Whether that is adopting an attitude, or a speech mannerism, or physical appearance, it is a change affected to gain acceptance. Unfortunately, our society is one of exclusion, rather than inclusion, and this trickles down to the high school level and below, as young people emulate the powerful and successful adults they see on the screen or in print media. At some point, the guise can take over, and leave friends wondering what happened to a friendship. Just look at the kids you hung with in 3rd grade, and see how close or distant you are in 11th. -------------------- Synergy, et al - "I don't get it." Argon - "I'm at a loss for words..."

Possible reasons for the gaffes made by Clinton and Obama in recent days. And yes, that will have been the fourth time I mention the Bosnia sniper gaffe. :P -------------------- Synergy, et al - "I don't get it." Argon - "I'm at a loss for words..."

Bah, human mores change in a wider cycle that we can usually witness as individuals, but that doesn't mean anything. Victorian era = European prudeness, but that was a reaction to a previous era where sexuality was a lot more open and honest. If anything, the swing of the pendulum is shorter, but it still swings. I would hesitate to say that this type of change is what drives the unhappiness. Historically, this stuff happens when an underclass becomes aware of their situation, and begins to openly resent their betters. This filters into media and overall society, until the massive upwelling occurs things "change." -------------------- Synergy, et al - "I don't get it." Argon - "I'm at a loss for words..."

Strangely enough, I would recommend that you start with Geneforge. With the culmination of the 5 part series due by the end of the year, you are positioned perfectly to play all five games in order without too long of a pause. Then, in October you can pick up the discounted Avernum games. Check out the various games forums below for in depth assessments of the various games, as well as the requisite hints and strategies. I found Geneforge better in terms of strategy of interpersonal choices, and Avernum better in terms of character build strategy. Mostly that is due to Jeff's maturation, but it is still a valid part of the gaming experience. Good luck, I got hooked in '97. -------------------- Synergy, et al - "I don't get it."

Huh. I just thought I was playing fairly. You seem to be willing to vote for Hillary because your see danger in Barack. I am pointing out the danger in Hillary as a reason I prefer Barack.

What disturbs me about that story is that while backpedaling, she marginalizes the experience had by the Bosnian kid. I'm sure that kid had a very favorable impression of the visit at the time, but if she hears that the First Lady blanked on the whole thing her impression would likely change. And this stuff is coming right from the mouth of the person some want to represent us on the world stage. Gaffe or not, it is unprofessional. -------------------- Synergy, et al - "I don't get it."
