  1. Apparently you overestimate the legal understanding of most people or underestimate people's tendency towards stupidity. Sure, we'd have a more active congress, but we'd also have one that makes laws which conflict with eachother, cannot possibly be enforced, or which are highly situational. You know those listings of silly state laws? Those laws were made by people just like 'us', and give an example as to why opposite is not always better. And this is different from the current situation how? Personally, I don't see EITHER party as representing what is "best for america", it's all 'what is best for my major campaign contributors'. The more money you have to toss around, the more political influence you have. This leaves joe average, you know, 85% of the population of the US, out in the cold. We have no say in politics, or, the direction our country is going. A recent poll found that only 26% of people thought america was 'headed in the right direction'...... a quarter of the population...... Sure, I can vote, but, who do I get to vote for? Who picks who runs? The folks with the money, that's who. We are playing against a stacked deck, and the 'authorities' are the ones that made sure it was stacked in their favor. Nothing will change, things will only get worse.
  2. I don't see one party being worse than the other. I see them both as equally as bad. Don't forget that a fair bit of legislation did NOT pass, simply because the dems proposed it, and the republicans outright refuse to let anything pass that might make the dems 'look good'..... even if it IS good legislation. They didn't get 'the party of "no"' name for nothin'. The "war on women" does have some merit..... with their 'no-choice' attitude on abortion, and 'some forms of birth control'....... You are quite correct about corporations though. And don't forget dem support of the unions. (or would that be union support of the dems?) More than just our borders are broken. Our entire political system is currently broken. Nothing is getting done. I really don't want to see a dem victory in 16, but, I am not sure a republican victory would change the overall picture very much.... we would have a truly lame-duck president, and even less would get done in washington, than even what there is currently. (although, that COULD be seen as a 'good thing™". Which is really sad.....
  3. Do you hold the attack button till the bow is fully drawn?
  4. Copy/Paste the log into spoiler tags. You have a missing master crash. One or more of your mods is dependent on something that isn't there. Wrye Bash, or TESVIEdit should tell you which one.
  5. No, was talking more along the lines of this:http://www.cgpgrey.com/blog/humans-need-not-apply There is already short term economic incentive to turn to technology instead of human labor, The problem is that long term economy (the stuff that actually drives business by means of people earning money and spending it on things) would essentially collapse faster than a sandcastle at high tide. We may have the technical and mechanical means to do a great many things with technology, but what we lack are the defined roles which people could fill while working alongside that technology. Without defined roles, we cannot train people, anticipate their needs, and try to move younger persons entering the job force to consider these roles instead of more traditional ones. Working with future technology may sound like a great idea, but the vast majority of people out in the world are not ready for the reality of it. Take for example that mockery of an effort to get people for a Mars mission... Instead of having a group of people who understood the implications of being on a one-way trip to Mars, where they would be responsible for setting up the majority of the infrastructure needed to establish a colony on another planet, where they would probably die; instead it became a rush for personal internet fame, a popularity contest, and a promotional stunt. I agree with what you say. Indonesia once banned the use of cigarette vending machines to keep people employed to sell them; I do not know if that nation still does. As for going to Mars, let alone colonizing it, the only real way would be to do it in careful stages: [1] Colonize the Moon and there create the means to build a large vessel to travel to Mars. Make the Moon Colony as self supporting and economically viable as possible. [2] Colonize one, or both, of the Martian Moons that could be very good for building outpost bases on-in. Make the Martian Moon Colony, or Colonies, as self supporting and economically viable as possible. Working with Phobos and Deimos first is far smarter than trying to work directly with Mars. [3] From there plan the next steps in the safe colonization of Mars. It could easily take over a century, of hard work, to achieve a fully functional Martian Colony that is as self supporting and economically viable as possible. Yeah, but, with "I want it now." and Instant gratification being the rule of the day, folks will rush into it, so they can be "first", and many will die instead. We, as a people, have no long term vision.
  6. Both sides have their issues, but, I don't really see a point in continuing here, given the insulting tone of this particular post. Have a nice day.
  7. It is a proven fact that Hamas launches rockets from civilian-populated areas. This includes schools (UN, or not), Hospitals, and Apartment buildings. Are you trying to suggest that Israel should NOT attack those sites, because it is likely to inflict civilian casualties? If that's the case, then you should also be condemning the US, for it's policy of drone strikes in Afghanistan/Pakistan, as we would regularly blow up civilian housing, because we suspected that terrorists were hiding there. More often than not, there were indeed terrorists at the targets in question, but, there were also innocent civilians, who also died. I put the responsibility for the out of proportion civilian deaths squarely at the feet of Hamas. THEY are the ones launching from civilian areas, and they are well aware of what the consequences are likely going to be. Yet they continue with this same tactic, all the while screaming "WAR CRIMES"!!! It should be readily apparent that they do this ON PURPOSE, SPECIFICALLY so civilians will die. They know they have zero chance of winning anything at all militarily, so, they fight their battles in the courts of public opinion, counting on the outrage of the world at the high body count of civilians. No, I have zero sympathy for Gaza/Hamas here. They bring these troubles down on themselves.
  8. Post your load order in spoiler tags. Most folks aren't real excited about downloading files.... (well, except for mods maybe, and porn....) When they did that to me, I just went and chatted with Riisad, sold him all my crap, and went on into town. When I came back out, camp was set, and everyone was in place.
  9. Go to your skyrim install folder. The folder in question here will be in: Skryim\data\meshes\sky.
  10. First ..its an 144 Hz monitor. For every other game i play the blazing speed is Amazing!!! Ok now Skyrim...First I have to lower the Hz to 100....then in Nvidia i have it set to "Adaptive Vsync, 1/3 refresh rate" This nets me 33 FPS...and is perfect~!!! Liquid smooth. Sucks to have to gimp the monitor but it looks and feels so smooth i don't mind anymore. If you have the hardware to push it, set your refresh rate to 120, and your adaptive v-sync to 50% refresh rate. :) THAT would be nice.
  11. Make sure it really is TESV.EXE, and that it is in the correct folder.
  12. And that could accurately describe Gaza as well. The only 'real' difference that I see is, Israel doesn't have a published mandate to destroy Gaza/Palestine/whatever. Yes, both sides are to blame. Israeli policies as much as palestinian/hamas policies. From where I am sitting, NEITHER side wants peace. For Israel, that would mean established borders, which would seriously curtail their settlement building, and expansion. For Palestine/Hamas, that would mean having to learn to live with Israel as a neighbor. I don't see that EVER happening. This is a war that WILL continue, until one side, or the other, is completely gone. I really don't have any desire to see an islamist state come to be in the middle east, although, ISIS is trying pretty hard to make that a reality. That is the LAST thing the world needs.....
  13. Even if the world accepts the invasion, and full reoccupation, what happens after Israel leaves? Poverty, desperation, ignorance and fanaticism are driving forces in Gaza. I doubt that Israel has the ability, or even will power, to fix up the profound problems of Gaza and its people. As for Obama, he is just one man even if he is the US President and making him a scapegoat will do nothing because it is going to take the positive efforts of many to solve this deep, very long term problem. Any kind of scapegoating leads away from a possible solution whether it be from any political perspective; I used to be a narrow focused left winger but I left that behind and am not about to take up any other kind of such thinking. Positivity is needed and so is hope! Who's causing the poverty? there is plenty of money going in there from the international community and Israel sends tons of aid in, the poverty is caused by Hamas who'd rather spend the money on rockets than on the population, the UN build schools and hospitals and Hamas use them as missile sites, free the Palestinians from Hamas and then we might get somewhere. @Ihoe Israel is a bastion of democracy in that region, Israeli Jews do not get preference over Israeli Arabs, people can worship whatever they want, they're free to protest and speak their minds, it's no different to any other western nation and in complete contrast to the way Hamas run things. If Hamas don't want what dead Palestinians then they should stop using them as human shields, they're quite willing to sacrifice their people for some anti Israeli propaganda and the liberal press in the west lap that propaganda up. Israel has the right to defend itself, no nation would just sit there and do nothing while rockets rain down on it's people, if Hamas want peace then they shouldn't start wars. Exactly. You don't get peace by firing rockets. You don't get open borders by spending all your money on weapons to launch at your neighbors. You don't get sanctions lifted by exhibiting the very behavior that got those sanctions put in place to begin with. Hamas is the biggest problem in Gaza.
  14. Can do that too. Verify the game actually works. Keep in mind, the installer really doesn't clean up well after itself. So, after you run it, find the skyrim install folder, and also the folder in my games, and nuke those. Then try the reinstall, and before installing any mods, see if you can start a new game.
  15. Ah. Yeah, that makes a difference.... Still, turn off your mods, and see what happens.
  16. First thing that wants to happen when you start a new game is, it wants to play the carriage ride..... (a scripted event.) Might try getting some variety of alternate start mod, and see if that doesn't bypass the issue. Otherwise, try starting a new game with NO mods enabled, but, still starting with SKSE.
  17. There is no solution at all. And proposed fix, brings on problems of its own. What it boils down to is: which set of problems are you willing to put up with? The current situation is intolerable, but, referring to my first sentence, what are you going to do? Israel, is, at present, just dealing with symptoms. Unfortunately, there is no cure for the disease, short of wiping out EVERYONE in Gaza. And that really isn't a solution either.
  18. Why not simply PM the moderator in question, and ASK him/her, instead of reposting an image that has been taken down twice? Secondly, I would HIGHLY recommend that you re-read the site rules........
  19. HeyYou

    cattle

    Take a look at the folks right here at home. "Group Think" is rampant. Sure, individually, we have some really bright americans..... Taken collectively however, we got nuthin' on a box o' rocks. For a Fine example, lets have a look at congress. They currently have 13% approval rating. Less than 30% of those polled, think they are doing a 'good job', and taking america in 'the right direction'. These numbers are actually an IMPROVEMENT over some in the past. Yet, do americans as a whole do anything about it? Nope. We continue to re-elect the same do-nothings to the same office, even when we KNOW FOR A FACT that they do NOT have the best interests of most americans at heart. They are only interested in making their campaign donors happy. Now, I will grant you, that simply putting someone else into office probably wouldn't make much difference. Even the most altruistic 'new' politician succumbs to the lure of big money donors, with the goal of re-election right there as a nice, juicy carrot to hold in front of them. And look at the the way our government is attempting to divide the population. By social class, race, and religion. Not to mention by political party..... which is the biggest division of all, and pretty much guarantees that nothing will change. Nah. Groups are so much easier to manipulate. Individuals can speak, but, they are the lone fish trying to swim upstream against the current. They quickly fade away, and are forgotten. The group has MOMENTUM. Something an individual can have only a very minor effect.
  20. And the track is fairly narrow at that, giving the people even more effective leverage.
  21. That's exactly what it is, and that's what it has been for quite some time. One giant terrorist camp. This is what Israel gets for pulling out back on 05. I think shortly after the first missile leaves it's launcher, Israel should launch a full-scale, go for broke, invasion. Take over the whole place. Destroy Hamas completely. Annex the area. Call it a day.
  22. If the skyrim launcher will start, go to Data, see what's in there.
  23. Did you just delete skyrim? Or did you actually uninstall it?? Two VERY different results from doing one or the other.
  24. 9 days may not have been long enough. Respawn might be 10.... Don't know.... Load list wouldn't hurt though.
