This, Gamespot, has to be one of the greatest creations of all time. :)

Yes, indeed, Gamespot... Yes, indeed.

I fail to see what he hasn't yet delivered on. I'm just assuming that Health Care Reform and Financial Reform are two of the main promises of "change" you were expecting... and would you look at that! He DID deliver reform. Not to say that the reform you wantedis being implemented. Let alone the tens of other promises he's made and delivered on as well. Oh, and yeah, he hasn't even hit his mid-term yet. I'd say that's pretty damn good. Now to legalize gay marriage!

Undies and a leg brace. Yay for surgery!

[QUOTE="Daavpuke"] That's why you have banks. Daavpuke

Not what I meant. I'm guessing you still live with your parents?

Not really though... it took me a while to realize that medical bills, car repairs, and emergency spending are realistic parts of life, that we all (probably) have to deal with at some point in our lives. I doubt you'll be paying for a medical crisis while living with your parents, and somebody who doesn't drive a car doesn't necessarily understand the implications that a broken-down car can have for someone with a full-time job. Sure, if you're wealthy, you can pay everything off with a bank/debit card, but for the rest of us who don't live the life of the rich and famous, credit cards are often a necessity.

AmEx sends you an invite. You don't apply.

I'm sorry man. I know the feeling of losing a pet after that long. I lost a dog a few years ago that was older than I was, so yeah, he was definitely a big part of the family. It's going to be tough for a while, I'll bet, but eventually you just enjoy the great memories you had, instead of mourning the loss, and it feels far better.

Obama has had his supermajority and has accomplished next to nothing except more debt. To blame things on a nearly powerless Republican minority is absurd. Perhaps his agenda is being rejected in a bipartisan fashion.

As far as the Palin's, you've got the story all wrong. The Heath family lived near the Canadian town of Whitehorse which had the closest hospital to Skagway at the time, where at the ripe old age of three, she received medical assistance. You sure fell for some easy spin on that one. Yeah, Sarah Palin sure snuck into Canada for her healthcare alright.:|

From the statements you've made, the only one who sounds like they're blindly following anything is you.

MarcusAntonius

Republican minority. No. Also, were you even alive during the Bush era? I was. While Obama may have left America in even more debt, Bush was the one who done the damage pre Obama ;)

As for your point on Palin, I'm talking about current Sarah Palin, not three year old Sarah Palin. Sure there wasn't a hospital near her currently? Doesn't seem very supportive or patriotic for her turning to Canada for healthcare. Way to go future candidate for U.S President.

A dyed-in-the-wool partisan, completely devoid of reasoning. We're done.

Apparently I am lacking in this knowledge, by the by. Could you please enlighten me as to what can possibly be accomplished with my DNA in your hands?

I find it interesting that people want to protect their DNA sequences as if it's their social security number or something. What could the feds/cops do with it? Sell it? Who cares? They can't really do anything bad with it... at least not that my immature little self can understand. What's the incentive for planting DNA? I just don't see the big deal. I bet that not a single person in the world could "name" their DNA sequence, so why should they care if the gov't can?

TI-89, by far. Might cost a pretty penny, but you will use it ALL through HS, and ALL through college, and people will be begging to borrow it when they find out what it can do with factoring, integrals, and differentials. I got an a in University-level Calculus, all due to my baby.

[quote="UCSD Chancellor"]We invite students, staff and faculty to participate in a teach-in from noon to 2 pm, to explore how such incidents continue to occur today and to discuss the importance of mutual respect and civility on our campus.Oleg_Huzwog

Yeah... that'll work.

It won't. I can assure you of that. UCSD students are far too apathetic to care.

Of course it won't work. Only someone extremely out of touch with reality (y'know, someone like a chancellor at a university) could possibly propose a "solution" so... idealistic? Yes, idealistic is the word.

In all reality though, our chancellor doesn't even care. Considering her (lack of) involvement in campus activities, I can say that she, without a doubt, did not write the letter, or the one that comes from "her desk" at the beginning of each month. It's an act to appease the students who were offended, and to preempt the public backlash if she didn't.
