I promised MHZ I wouldn't take over another political thread in the RTC because the last time that exploded into a flamefest to rival the brightness and heat of the sun .... so I'll just try to make a few simple points here. It can be logical to be both pro-life and for the death penalty...

Kerry's spending plan was at best stretched. Bill O'Reilly says it would cover 20% of the cost, Kerry says it would be just right, so the truth is probably somewhere in the middle. Let's say it would have covered 60%. Still not enough. Kerry would have increased the deficit, which was a...

By far his most visible moments were during the debates, when he expressed his views on a very wide range of things. It certainly was not the gist of his campaign, he got to the point where I wondered if he was ever going to shut up about his tax cuts. By calling it scare tactics you implied...

In the flow of a debate it makes sense to show how your opponent would do worse than you at something. Pointing out that Kerry wanted to spend more was relevant to the subject of deficit and deficit spending. This is not a lower standard, it's a debate tactic, one that revealed useful...

Many rumors, there won't be any draft (political suicide, a non-volunteer force would be atrocious) and if Arnold becomes president then it will be legally. Sorry buddy but he only won the first debate, and that was more like 60/40. Niether of them made any really good scores on each other...

Most of them wanted Kerry. http://www.iht.com/articles/537873.html

There's a difference between a mandate and a landslide you know. I'm guessing that your side lost. First off it does fit the technical definition of a mandate. Dictionary.com In one instance he was also talking about the fight for a ban on *** marraige, where he clearly even got a...

It depends on how they do in the primaries really. Nobody knows for sure how that will go, both Bush and Kerry were upsets in the primaries. Republicans: Rudy Guliani and John McCain are favored. Some possible spoilers could be Jeb Bush, Colin Powell, Condaleeza Rice or Dick Cheney (though...

He flip-flopped when he criticized the timing of the war in the debates. He himself voted to authorize the war. If he didn't think it was the right time then he shouldn't have voted for it since the president can use troops without congress's approval for 90 days, which is more then enough time...

Appretnice is just a simple, streamlined way to simulate playing any TCG. The major advantages are that you can play online, it can generate any card for you, and you can look at your decklist at a glance [plus edit it neatly].

Hmm, Metroid Prime and Half-Life are up. [Remember, Counterstrike is a half-life mod.] So far Metroid Prime is winning.

Looking through the spoilers for the next set, I'm not really seeing very much in the way of innovative material ... but one thing interested me. For RS-on and dual format: * BELLSPROUT [50 HP] (Basic Grass Pokemon) [C] Bleh Attack (10) WEAKNESS: FIRE RETREAT: C 15/82 #069 Common...

The Wind Waker is pwning. =) Yeah, GameFAQs is notorious for hating tcgs and for hating ... Xbox, I think. One of the three this-generation consoles. I have to say though, I'm quite pleased that Halo got eliminated ...

Xenogears was very big in other countries, I think. Besides, it is kind of cool. Except for that one cutscene that's literally 45 minutes long ...

Just FYI, the contest they're having over at GameFAQs looks like the kind of thing you guys might get into. It's called the "Best. Game. Ever." contest. www.gamefaqs.com Single elimination polling. At the original time of this posting, Kingdom Hearts and Soul Caliber are up.
