Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
American Presidency: Still nice

No, but it how many nations is it possible to buy a 72 inch plasma TV on a credit card when you're 22 and in college? There are more examples I can make, but I've got to run across campus. That's just the first one that comes to mind.
Haha yeah ok.

never thought I'd see the day
I've been in limbo since the convention
How are people just now still hearing about this
Simply because you don't feel they exist doesn't invalidate the argument.
If you thought all the criticism of Obama was valid, then I highly doubt you'd be supporting him.
But you're doing exactly what I'm talking about.
You don't agree with me. Therefore, my argument must be invalid.
Presumably the reason he doesn't agree with you is because your argument is invalid?
I'm willfully going to ignore this because it's well-trodden ground and because I want to get off this topic. No offense.

Do ... I owe you cookies?

Edit: As a side note, I'm starting to see the realism in Dwarf Fortress where no matter what kind of chaos, death, and pestilence is going on in daily dwarf life, they're content because they get to eat (their meals of raw mushrooms and cooked vermin) in an awesome dining room.
presumably you should be able to disagree on moral issues without necissarily having to disagree on say economic issues.
most of the time disagreements polarize people against each other.
I have a couple pub friends who were unenthusiastic about McCain but love Palin. I really don't get it.
This makes me smile.

He and Jeffe were for a long time holding down the fort as the conservatives you could argue with and get coherent points from around here. Though as Speaker pointed out they were accused of trolling in their time.
And yes, you owe him cookies, I think he made a post expecting them a few days ago.
Meanwhile, in hilarious news, George "Macaca" Allen is the featured speaker at a GOP minority outreach rally.
EDIT: I love the "Republican convert" phenomena, especially when I see it on the internet. Pretty much any old-style conservatives are defecting or at least sitting at home in the dark crying en masse, because the Republicans don't represent them at all anymore, and the Democrats are not much better from many classical conservative viewpoints. It really makes me happy to see that people do, in fact, change their minds on this stuff by reason and observation.
One is an atheist Jew and the other is an orthodox Christian bartender.
Are you smiling McCain style?
I also specifically stated that you owe me cookies
Granted I'm in Mississippi so it probably won't matter but, you know, cookies.
Let's be honest Jeffe, we've all done the same, but reverse.
Actually, gonna go ahead and flesh that out a bit more. That 13 year old applied to that census question... Yeah, he's 18 now. I can assure that he will still use computers even though he is an adult now. The children he has will have computers integrated further into their lives.

Not really that helpful considering we're the 3rd largest country (in terms of population) and by far the largest developed country. The EU in total has a comparable GDP and population size.
Otherwise, I don't know that you could say the USA is definitely the "most prosperous" country (at least in terms of the effect on people.) In GDP per capita we are up in the top 5 when you discount oil-rich countries that have huge wealth disparities. But in terms of quality of life and standard of living we are usually below most of Western Europe in those rankings.
Edit: Thank god. This is what happens when I post in anger.
In other news, McCain is a dick.
We did the same thing in reverse.
Although we don't crow so much.
We're more in the "Polls don't matter... but look how AWESOME we're doing!" crowd.
Demand what's yours Sal. Get those damn cookies.
Also, she's folksy. You know, from a small town. I hear they make good people in small towns. Also in Keebler factories.

The convention was only like two weeks ago. Considering D+D is running roughly a politics thread every 1.25-1.5 days, it's not hard to miss someone saying something that doesn't come up all that often
I'm pretty sure we never seriously said that we might win Utah, but fair point. Mostly I was just schadenfruedin'.

Because John McCain would never exploit a crisis for political gain.

Are you kidding? The liberals on the internet forums spent the last two weeks ANGUISHING over the polls and screaming that the sky was falling. They pay attention to the polls, but they overreact no matter the outcome.
Generalizing.
Edit: does anyone know if this is illegal?
I never got cookies from you. Where are my cookies?
WHY ARE YOU AFRAID TO ANSWER I WIN BY DEFAULT
(jk understood)
It's not fair because Obama is using this opportunity to talk about the issues instead of focusing on personalities instead.
Obviously a shift in regulatory doctrine is not as big a deal as the collapse of the Berlin Wall, but I found it interesting- the US, which is the champion of market fundamentalism, is now stepping in left and right to bail out companies during a crisis precipitated by market fundamentalism.
I doubt it's any more illegal than the vote-trading thing that's been regularly going on since 2000, and I really really doubt the FBI is going to come down on you for cookies, especially since I stated that I'd be voting for Obama before you made your pledge to provide delicious sustenance.
PM with address will be forthcoming in a bit.
