Corporate control is directly proportional to the size of the government. If you want less corporate control, vote for smaller government (e.g. less regulation, less social programs, etc).

I've proposed a compromise. ANYONE can vote, as long as you are NOT taking any money from a government program. (excluding salaries). This covers welfare for both the rich AND the poor. If you are on the government dole, whether it be food stamps or corporate welfare, then you can't vote until you ...

It has nothing to do with being an ass or me pushing my beliefs onto a person, but everything to do with common sense and simple courtesy. Would you go up to a person knowing he is a atheist, agnostic, or jewish with the idea of talking to them about a completely different religion? Probably not ...

"The Christians are sneaking into Iraq to hand out bibles, food and medicine." Now if someone came to my door and offered me a bible even after they knew I subscribed to another religion, I'd be insulted, it would tell me they don't care about my beliefs OR me, and I would tell them to leave the ...

It's propaganda, just like all of the news channels.

I don't think either party should have a super majority.

I also don't think people who don't own property should vote.

It's a little silly to think that the people we've been at war with for over 200 years need excuses to hate us. History has pretty clearly demonstrated that appeasement doesn't resolve the issue, so why care if we upset them more?

I don't think Kevin pays much attention to this section... I'll mention it to him tomorrow if I remember, or you could try PM'ing him.

Brinton, thanks.

And go for it, Scott -- I have fond memories of that incident.

A common lunch topic, I assure you.

He lies. It's not really him.

It's already public knowledge about secret organizations like the kaballah and illuminati being real. If you don't believe so, you're choosing to be ignorant. Regarding Kabbalah, this is like saying your university psychology class is a secret organization. Kabbalah is jewish mysticism -- a study ...

He'll probably do pretty well against me at the moment. We can try sometime.

What's the normal method of doing internet games these days?

Hey skunk, here's something for your memorial:



This was in Portland (1996, I think).

Haha, Kevin just said \"hey, ladder.org is for sale.\"

I'm thinking... no :p

Wow, those are some names I remember. Scoundrl held the #1 spot for a long time on the ladder with Wiley and I competing for the #2 spot until I finally beat Scoundrl. Wiley was a class player. That was a long long time ago. skunk - the memorial page sounds fascinating... I wish I had screenshots or ...

If this wasn't just yesterday, I would deny it to the grave.

Kevin Bentley wrote:What Aaron failed to mention is that I actually beat him once or twice. On average he's still kicking my butt, but it sure was satisfying to be able to say "I beat Aaronb in a D2 game"

Had to throw in a vote for D1.

D3 makes me nauseous... I must be getting old.

That's a great list -- thank you!

Kevin and I have been playing around with d2x and neither of us could remember any of the level names.

It's funny how bad we are now. It took me a while just to figure out how to fly again.

Does anyone remember some of the levels we frequently used for ladder matches back in the late D1 & early D2 years?

Thanks.

Depends where you touch her

Ironically, the removal of \"God\" and religion from schools, and the consequential removal of a moral foundation, seems to be the start of the problem that is driving you to this conclusion. These problems didn't exist in 1965. Now you post on forums presenting your solution of giving up more ...

It's a real tribute to the descent games and community that people are still working (however much) on keeping D1 and D2 alive.

There aren't as many cheaters around as I thought there were when I first got into multiplayer about a year and a half ago. I was a complete multiplayer n00b, so I had quite a few "They must be hacking! Nobody can be that good!" moments. Since then, I've found that in most cases, those players were ...

That was a very entertaining read
