1. Lobbyists used the crisis to raise the retirement age.

    Protesting doesnt help, just make sure you put money aside yourself if you want to stop earlier.

    I can't be expected to abide by the rules if I don't know them.

    And can you just ban certain members from posting in the thread?

    No, we didn't. But when a thread is closed, it's closed for a reason. You might have PMed some crew member to ask, first.

    Not knowing a rule/law doesn't exempt you from obeying it. Basic law basis, you know.

    No, we can't. But...

    Have fun fighting each other...

    Oh, no. Please stay. It won't get ugly again, just stay and share your opinions with everyone - judging by what you said in the Aung thread, they're surely far more interesting than some of the usuals here .. . . .
  4. Yesterday, Staff Sergeant Salvatore Giunta became the first living recipient of the Congresional Medal of honor since the Vietnam war.
  5. 21 years since the Velvet Revolution (the end of communistic regime). Mixed feelings of how much better things are now and how better they could have been.
  6. North Korea shelled a South Korean island. The situation seems to be on the verge of war. "Yay"

  7. Crazy. Did you see the actual images of the explosion and stuff? Brutal. Getting North Korea angry can not be a good thing. . . . .


  8. crazy stuff. Seems Kim Jon Il's son is a chip off the old block...
  9. Korea is heating up like a New Orleans whore house. China, and Japan, are supposedly both on high alert, and U.S. forces in S. Korea are supposedly on lockdown.
  10. I feel like a dirty whore.

    For the first time in my life, I'm seriously considering going to college on the governemnts dime.

    You win libtrads.

    If anyone needs me, I'll be at the nearest bridge considering jumping, for thinking of selling out my ideals. God, I'm such a fucking cheap slut.

    My logic is that I hope to go into law enforcement. Since law enforcement serves the public, they can pay for me getting my credentials.
