I don't pay much attention to American politics; there's already a clown in office in Australia. But this "Let the States handle it" copout seems to me that he's trusting them to do the right thing. IE, ask for additional funding and whatever else they need. I might be entirely wrong about that, but that's just how I'm reading that. Ross, if you'd like to elaborate on your Roman Empire analogy/comparison, I'd be highly interested in what you have to say about that. Quite frankly, if a man like this is willing to run for president and he's still not bitter and weak, then you guys ought to put him in office. On that I believe the age to run for president is 35? I understand that a modicum of experience is needed, but maybe the amount of years it has been since you were expelled from a womans oversized belly isn't really a factor in whether or not a president will be great or not.

In a utopian society communism would be the best. But ideally everything would work in a utopian society, so for the meantime I'll go with what we've got. It's not perfect but in comparison to other systems it's fine for now.

*less than timidly put his hand up* Alyxx, You're joking about the "balanced" weapons, right? Me with my MP5, I see someone and shoot. Five instant hits, guy with the SCAR-L hammering on someone else; he turns around and shoots me in the face twice. Done. I'm PC as well, and I can already see myself wanting Battlefield 3, or Skyrim. At least those two will have borderline good gameplay, with legitimate gunplay. I can shoot someone and have them die, because I shot them first, as opposed to him having a bigger f'ing stick (gun). On that, the community of MW3 sucks. People that immediately go to "your mum" after you say something. Nice. Adam is exactly right though. A lot of tactics are simply fucking retarded. Refer to the noob tactics in this. In the end, it only fucking works because Modern Warfare cripples players that are actually good. Proof of this is VI have a decent levelled P99 pistol, how? From not aiming and shooting in someones general direction. Whenever ADSing however, things take a turn for the worse. With accurate hipfire, shotguns that have epic range, and zip recoil, the game isn't really balanced, or fair at all.

heaven and hell are mere concepts. Maybe if you've sinned, or done badly you'll be trapped reliving your worst moments, and if you've lived a good life you can relive your best moments, without remembering that they had happened. Thus the term, heaven

I guess it really just depends. I have no problem with you being gay, lesbian, straight or bisexual. As long as you don't try to impose your opinions or relationships on me, I won't be fussed.

Schools that don't do shit about bullying should have their teachers fired. Enough said. I've had a bit of experience with bullies, but I've surprised everyone when I've fought back and won. My friends know that I'm a good fighter, and I'm stronger than I look. But I guess that the main problem I've had is a mental disorder. When I was younger I was a low-functioning Aspergers Child, and had a lot of trouble adjusting to situations, but a bully regularly punched me, and I didn't know it was bad, so I ignored it, and it became a pattern. One evening I came home rubbing my arm, saying to my parents that he'd hit harder today. (I didn't talk about school much) My parents were horrified, and notified our head of year. After the useless bitch had done nothing about it, I decided to take matters into my own hands. (I was really interested in fighting, and I knew of a few things i could do to get him on the ground.) I walked up to him, and he naturally started hitting me. I made eye contact with a teacher, who did nothing about it. I decided to catch his next punch, and put the kid in a submission hold. After he started screaming for help, another teacher tried to pull us apart. I, who was in complete control simply released my grip and told him that since the teacher refused to intervene when he was hitting me, I had decided to act. Half the year had gathered around, and they backed me up. Not many of them were friends, but they knew that bullying was bad. In fact, this kid had hit me so much that I had a really big black bruise on my stomach, and my arm had a small black one slowly growing. My proof was there. The principle told his parents and mine, I was sent home for the day, and he was suspended for two weeks pending expulsion. After we had decided not to press charges, his parents actually came around to our house to thank us. They were good people, but their son was a complete hell-hound, and they knew it. Fast forward to senior school. Not much has happened to me so far, one or two people tried to take a swing at me, but after I managed to put a rugby player on the floor everyone backed off. My friends and I are fairly well left alone, but there are things that do sometimes happen, but between my friends and I, we generally put it down before it begins. In regards to the disciplinary action? I guess it just depends on the kid. If you're a sufferer of Aspergers you'll tend to get the point quickly. (Or maybe I just was mature for my age, but I did have separation issues, so go figure) But hell yeah, if you'er going to do a punishment/reward system, follow through, never relent otherwise you might as well just do nothing.

Well as long as he doesnt start world war three, or somehow fucks up the world worse than the US has, I think I'll let him enjoy having control of Russia.

Hi guys, this is just some random writing I've done. I'm fairly young, and always want to improve. Please leave opinions, as this forum contains the most mature people I've ever met. A single incident changed my life forever. If I hadn’t saved lives on that day, I might be a stockbroker now, not an undercover agent for the Australian Secret Intelligence Service. It's all I know now, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. I stepped onto the train, smiling warmly. I was looking forward to today. I felt good vibes, and didn’t think that much could go wrong. I wasn’t worried particularly about anyone on the train, at fifteen I was athletic with a stocky build, and was a black belt in Jujitsu. I wondered how my friends were going, what they were doing. They were probably asleep, I remember being jealous of them, as I had to wake up at five o’clock to get ready for school. As I sat down, I let my mind wander. There were people around me talking, yelling. I tuned out, enjoying my own thoughts. The people around me all seemed to blend in. After a minute or two, the train arrives at the next stop. My face flushed, which was even more obvious because of my pale skin. A girl I had liked was there. Her innocent face, and her soft friendly eyes made her seem wonderful to me. I looked at her for a moment, before looking away. I had a few more stops to go before I had to get off, but I imagined her and I together. With my family feeling such hardships, my mother and father were both out of work, they could barely pay for me to go to school. Such good thoughts came less and less often for me. I smiled for a minute, letting the thought wash over me, before I heard screaming and my eyes snapped open. what? I stood up, men were coming onto the train, carrying weapons. My heart started to beat faster than it had ever beat in my life. I felt like I was to die, I saw one of them push the innocent faced girl toward me, and I grabbed her. “It’ll be okay.” I said to her, my white-blonde hair fell into her face, and I brushed it away, “Don’t worry about it.” My voice was softer than silk. She looked up at me, her eyes seemed to look right at my very soul, “I believe you.” Her voice was calm and collected. I had no idea how she was keeping her cool. I nodded at her, and held her tightly, “What’s your name?” I asked her shyly, before going red. I couldn’t believe how stupid the question I was asking was. “I’m Marie.” She said, smiling, “And I know your name is Lachlan, the girls in the group talk about you all the time.” I frowned. I had never noticed anyone talking about me at all. I guess they did it at school, which was nice, but somewhat odd. One of the armed men looked at us...

I can see your point, but because I dont really feel like showing a picture to you, or to anyone for that matter I think we sohuld stay the fuck off this...

I'm young, and that should give you an indication to where the scar is...

if you want to be a pedophile I'll be more than happy to send you the pictures. That should give you a general idea of where the scar is, and no, I'm not Jewish (even bigger indicator if that's still got you confused)

If you call aliens part of the paranormal, I've been abducted. No, this is no joke, and I have a huge scar to prove it. Also somehow my physical maturity accelerated about 300% in one night. No, that is no joke, this is 100% true.

I help other people, and happily self-sacrifice because I love and care about how others are feeling. I'm a pretty emotional guy, and my friends themselves know that I'd lay down my life if it meant that they'd survive something. I can be the biggest asshole of the bunch, but when it comes down to it, I'll protect anyone and od anything to help them.

I think that the situation now is going to be a bit less clear-cut with the Muslims. I was talking about the conversion to the Euro as well. Only a few rich countries are propping up your entire economy (I don't know much about the Ukraine, so forgive me if this doesn't actually affect you.) And instead of having Mexicans blowing themselves up, you're getting them to bring in lots of drugs...

Like I said, I'm not entirely sure about being not being affected at all, but seeing as you're born with it, and have obviously got some sort of resistance to it, I'd say you'd be pretty safe, or at an advantage to someone who was born without being a carrier. Kind of off the point, but this is technically part of the sex conversation. I feel that I should only consider sex with a girl who I actually do love or care about, a hell of a lot. Especially as I am a virgin, I want my first time to be with someone special. I go to an all-boy school, and choices for me (as a straight male) are extraordinarily thin. Though I do go on the train to and from school, and have had a crush on a girl for a considerable amount of time. (I have loved a girl before, but that ended horrifically, so I'm not going there again.) But I guess it kind of does depend on your opinion, if you have a heart (as it seems a lot of people here do) Do I ignore my feelings to those I care about and go for those easy girls? Or do I risk heartbreak when I attempt to go out with a girl I genuinely have feelings for?

Well, now I can actually say I'm slightly more awake, I can justify this. 1, I have on fucking idea who you are. If you're my brother or a member of my family, and you left your key or something, then certanily, I'll put the gun down and get you a drink or something and send you to bed. 2, Going on from that, if you're wearing a balaclava, gloves and have clear intentions, I'd pull the trigger cause I don't know who the hell you are. For all I know you've got a gun of your own. 3, I agree that giving them a second to fuck off would be great, but I'd much rather sit him on my couch and call the police, all the while aiming my sexy gun at his head. 4, If someone comes into your house with a butchers knife, (say you've had an argument) what are you going to do? "Hi buddy, what're you doing with that---OH GOD MY LIMBS, M PRECIOUS LIMBS!" I'd much rather have a gun in my hand, and the option to pull the trigger before he can butcher me in my sleep, like he obviusly planned to.

Yeah, if you're a carrier it doesn't matter if you're a virgin or a whore, you've still got it. I think it just changes your resistance, but as I'm not a medical doctor I don't really know if it does make you more resistant to what you already have ,especially if it doesnt affect you as it is. What I mean is that if you're a carrier with AIDs (You were born with it) It isnt going to affect you from birth.

I think that your intellect scares the shit out of me, Bullseye (Also is that The Guy from Disturbed in your profile picture?) I live in australia, and we don't really have such a great record of gun law, but for good reason. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_politics_in_Australia#The_Port_Arthur_massacre_and_its_consequences Read the article above and below it, you'll understand. however it's unfair to people like me, who would like one for self defence in the very case that someone breaks into my house, or the house of someone very close to me, I'm going to shoot them dead. No, I'm not a psycho, but if you're trying to break into my house, I'm going to defend whats mine. No, I'm not asking for a sub machine gun, but I'd like something like a pistol with the calibre to put down a target without a head or heartshot (a la .22) But perhaps something flashy like http://www.kimberamerica.com/1911/tactical-ii/tactical-custom-hd-ii (Yes, I love the 1911, and Kimber makes the sexiest pistols I've ever seen) I am a gun nut, so if I'm going to be prohibited from owning a .45 because of my country, then I'd take a http://sigsauer.com/CatalogProductDetails/p220-platinum-elite.aspx These pistols because it makes me look like I know what I'm doing, and have good taste in choosing a weapon. (I've never fired one before, but I have family members in the Australian Army who have taught me proper pistol maintenance and handling, so I'm fairly competent in handling already.)

Kind of resurrecting the topic, but I have insomnia and don't see any sleep on the horizon, so here's my take on this (Yes, I am sleep deprived so I might sound stupid.) Doom Shepard is right in the sense that "If you make your son a military commander, you're making him a target." Classic logic, cut off the head so the body will die. In regards to the AK-47 culture stuff, that's true. Hell, I've even seen pictures of kids wearing tuxeos with MP5 sub machine guns in Nigeria. Human shields? Or just cannon fodder? Congratulations to the rebels for freeing Lybia, my only question is, how long until rebels start popping up in Saudi Arabia, and wiping out the Royal Family? (All 6,000,000 of them?) Who would the US support? What should the West do now? I honestly see Europe turning to shit, should we help the MIddle East get rid of the idiots who think misquoting the Kuran is going to get them into Heaven with their seventy two male virgins?

Homefront - just every cutscene. It's so stupid how buggy it was when I played. I seriously couldn't do anything, but hearing them go "What's that?" As a fucking Hind gunship soars overhead and starts missile-raping us was a little humourous.

That noise made me want to kill someone, I hated it with a passion. System startup? I think the Gamecube has it right. But for a game? Borderlands, I Love the little rock bit, and then "2K". I think it works well.

Games where you can shrug off up to a whole assault rifle magazine, and then just stand back up. (No, I'm not a complete realism nut, but I mean come on! You're going to be dead on your feet if you can stand up after surviving this much!) Iron sights that are cluttered. They're there to be used, don't make it a freakin' puzzle where my bullets are going to go! Games where the guns are imbalanced, where my 9mm pistol is more accurate and powerful than my .308 sniper rifle. (I am a gun nut, I know what's going to happen when if I fire a .308 into someones chest, versus a 9mm round. Repeated dialogue, or voice lines from the same few characters (OBLIVION, FALLOUT: NV!) Where jumping is too low, or a tiny girly jump. Characters that can absorb a thousand bullets, and then having someone run into them kills them. Complete messes of weapons and combat, where pumping 30 rounds of a gun into them only halves his health. Where you have C4, or other explosives, but can't use the stuff to blow open doors and the like. Jeez... More to come, but I'm too lazy to write them.
