We were presented with two evils..... I voted for what I perceived as the lesser of them. I really don't wanna consider where we would be had Romney been elected...... If the republicans run him again in 16.... they can look forward to another loss. The dems are probably already salivating just thinking about it.

Decriminalizing won't generate any tax income...... Colorado is doing quite well with legalized pot. Millions in tax income. We lost the war on drugs before it was even declared. So long as there is a market, there will be someone to provide the product. Legalizing takes away 99% of the profit, and thus, motivation, for the drug cartels. They would have to find a new way to make money. (and that would end a lot of the violence south of the border as well...... no point fighting over territory, when there isn't nearly as much profit, or demand..... for the product. A fair bit of it would be produced right here in the states.)

What? Obama has principles???
-
Well, should obama go to every country where there is a terrorist attack? He wouldn't have time to do anything else. Did france send folks to the US after 9/11? Holder being right in the neighborhood, and not at least making a token appearance is pretty bad though.....

I resolved many years ago not to make any more new-years resolutions. It's the only one I have been able to not break. :)

I suspect the gangs would just come up with new reasons to hate/kill each other..... But, in the short term, if ALL recreational drugs were legalized, and treated just like alcohol, a lot of the wind would go out of the sails of a fair few criminal organizations. We could also dump a bunch of folks out of our jails/prisons, that were convicted of non-violent drug offenses. (possession, distribution, etc.) So, not only would we be saving money by NOT incarcerating a boatload of folks, the tax revenue would be outstanding. Some of those proceeds could be earmarked for treatment centers. Places where folks could go to kick their bad habits. Those that used excessively that didn't want the help, would soon solve the problem on their own..... Cold and callous, but, hey, this is real life. Not everything is warm and fuzzy.

The opportunity to see new lands, experience different cultures, meet new people, and then kill them....... Personally, I think some variety of mandatory service would be an excellent idea. Maybe it would give the 'entitled generation' a little bit of perspective..... and discipline..... But, that would never fly here. Even the draft is gone.

I've always had an overinflated opinion of myself. :)

Do another clean reinstall, see if just the base game will run properly. Some of the artifacting, and other oddities, are generally associated with failing video ram.....

It's a load order tool. Kinda like boss for oblivion.
-
Run LOOT on that? May try loading them after your bashed patch.... maybe even dead last in your load order, and see what happens.
-
Do you have SKSE installed? Starting your game with the SKSE loader?
-
Don't the two go hand in hand?
-
You too man. :) Drive carefully.

Well, consider who the movie is made by/stars....... I don't think it was ever intended as anything other than bad comedy. If it was, I think they missed the mark. :)
-
There have been a whole host of movies about assassinating presidents...... most made right here in the good ol' US of A.
-
Wait, you believe the CIA????? Seriously? Have you even bothered to do the slightest bit of research on this? I came up with four names in just ONE article. (post 2002) If you discount the report, just because it was written without the participation of the republicans...... well, I don't see any point discussing it further with you, as you just fell into the category of the folks "my party is always right, the other guys are insane liars." As I see it, it is that type of person that is the biggest problem in this country. Regardless of which party you support. Bye Now.

I wouldn't be surprised....the Obama administration and Hollywood.....two peas sharing a liberal pod. No they don't. At least, not anything they can put on a missile, and expect to hit anything with it. They have done three tests. Two which were outright failures, and a third that might just as well have been. I don't think even lil' Kim is stupid enough to toss a missile at one of the US allies though. Nuke or not. That WOULD be an act of war, and not something we would simply brush under the rug. Even China would have a hard time saying 'no' to a military strike in response to something of that nature. Now, if by some wild quirk of fate, lil Kim DID drop one on Japan, the US response would be devastating to N Korea, regardless of what China had to say. We have a treaty with Japan.... If we did NOT honor it, NATO would immediately be seen as a farce, and Putin would be laughing LOUDLY on any available stage.

The report was 6800 pages, and is still classified. I am real curious where you get your "3" from. Every reference I see leads me to the conclusion that it was MANY more than that, though, I have yet to find concrete numbers. (aside from 26 folks that were held unjustly, and without cause......)
-
DPRK doesn't have nukes worth a damn, nor do they have a delivery system. What I find interesting is: The government here suggested Sony made the wrong choice there..... I wonder if that is what they are saying publicly, but, behind the scenes, were pushing Sony NOT to release.
-
Only way a tech can become 'proven', is if we actually use it as intended, and it works the way it is supposed to. We already know that wind power really isn't the answer, for a variety of reasons, but, it was a nice bandwagon for the politicians to jump on at the time, so they did. Unfortunately, coal ash is rather toxic...... so, DC sounds like a REALLY good place to put it. :D
-
Sony chickened out basically. :) But, it IS a Japanese company......
-
Do you seriously think only three individuals have been subjected to 'enhanced interrogation techniques'? Seriously? We have records going back more than 50 years of those same techniques being used in various other cases, from the Nosenko spy case, to the contras in latin america. We TAUGHT those same techniques to them by the way.......
-
Well, the technology has to become 'proven' somehow..... though, I would prefer it NOT be at MY expense..... :D It isn't so much the burning of the coal that's the problem, its the coal ash....... if we could find a way to make it useful...... like, add it to concrete, for a bit more strength, or something similar, that would help out GREATLY.

In all reality, if we had the leader of ISIS, I wouldn't mind hooking him up to the battery charger just for 'fun'. I may, or may not, ask him some questions. "Does that hurt?" "Does more amperage hurt more?" Etc.
