Heh...I watched and was thinking he is pretty cool, but it's hard to out-cool something that flies...and then he hit the finger. I like that.I'll call it a tie, but only because the Pacman frog has the advantage of tech. If the flying frog had Bluetooth, it would be no contest.

Just got Rage.I totally see what you mean about it being a clone: a good clone.The visuals on the 360 look stellar and sometimes I enjoy not having to worry too much who I'm butchering.Thanks for the recommendation, I'm really enjoying the ride.

Is it me or you flip flopping around?Iran is a threat to the US and the world because they are threatening to close the straight of Hormuz. They are threatening to do this because of sanctions aimed at forcing them to comply with international agreements regarding nuclear proliferation. 20% of the worlds oil moves through the straight of Hormuz. Can you see the connection there? The danger is not that they will close the straight because they wont do that for any length of time. The danger is that they will start a shootin war. Yes they will lose and yes it will be their fault. That wont help the dead people much though will it?

What part of letting Iran close the straight and gain nukes is sane?

And almost 100% of Iran's income is generated by selling oil, a source of income they would lose should they close the strait.Where is the threat?

Well they have been known to shoot themselves in the foot before.The threat is to the fragile stability that exists in the region and the world economy. Even more so if Iran is allowed to aquire nuclear weapons. The sanctions should be enforced and Iranian beligerance
should be met with force.But yeah, there is no danger that the US will lose. There will just be lots of dead Iranians most of whom will have been innocent pawns.

There would be no dead Iranians unless the US acts similarly to the stupidity exhibited by the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.But I still do not see a threat to the US from Iran having nuclear weapons or any reason that the US should have a position on that subject.

No starting an unnecessary war against Iran is sane.Letting Iran do foolish things and making themselves a hated nation is sane.Not doing stupid things ourselves, and not making us a hated nation is sane.

I couldn't disagree more. Is there any country that you would say should not have nuclear weapons?

I think that one should turn off the fan before the shit hits it.Iran is already a pariah and the mullahcrats already hate the West. What is the point of having an enemy if you can't give him a good beat down when he really deserves it. How far do you let them go?

Too often you end your posts speculating on the motives of the person you're replying to. For example: Message 310

I wasn't trying to save the face of religion at all, I did have an actual point to make.Its things like: "You're just saying that because..."It totally unnecessary and against the rules. Its impossible for you to know my true motives for posting what I do, and there's no reason whatsoever for you to try to guess why it is. I consider it trolling because the only purpose it serves is getting a rise out of your opponent, although, it could just be a case of being too big of an idiot to understand what you're doing.But lets see how you like it:You're such a jerk to everyone because you're pissed off at the world because you fucked up your life up so much that you can't even afford to play the latest MMO.

Perhaps I do. However, you should look up the definition of troll (as I have done for you guys already) and you shall see that anything I do could not be construed as troll-like behavior in any sense of the common usage of the term. Except, perhaps, for those who are woefully ignorant of the term. But to that extent, i could just as likely accuse you of being a chinaman. Then, pray tell, what was your point in trying to take religious motivation out of the Jim Jones massacre if not to try and take religious motives out of it? Yes. Great analogy because so often I personally attack other members. Have I done it? Sure. Is it a staple of my character???? Just because I call you out when you make assertions that are completely false and can be easily shown to be wrong, doesn't mean I am attacking you personally. I know it hurts to be proven wrong, but a personal attack it is not.

I know what trolling is... its when you post something to make the other person mad. Dude, you troll people. Its obvious.Shall I offer some examples?

Where did I say "personally attack other members"? It has nothing to do with calling people out for the wrong stuff they say. Its the other stuff... like I said: speculating motives n'stuff. I didn't say it was a personal attack, and I don't think it hurts to be proven wrong.

No, you obviously do not. I guess since we are making up definitions or using words in an uncommon way, I'll say that you are a homosexual. And you like santorum smeared on your chest. Here's a hint: I am an asshole, not a troll. Get on the internet more and learn the difference between troll and asshole. You didn't. But what you DID type was a personal attack.Edited by hooah212002, : No reason given.

I think it would be best if no country had nuclear weapons and would be in favor of the US setting an example by eliminating all of ours.The problem with nuclear weapons is that it is a tool that a Nation State cannot really use without every other nation on earth turning against them. Since we can't use the damn things, why not set an example by getting rid of them?
