I used to listen to Laura Ingraham. Now i get all my news on the computer.

Fallout 3 is very good, kinda like Oblivion with guns

After a taste of Obama already looks like recycled Clinton people are going to wonder what it was about him they thought was so great.

When something is new, it is easy to put your time and energy into it. Having balance in all you do is one of the most important things I think one can do. There is a season for different things in one’s life and the top five things to do change from time to time. It makes sense for your age to make working a top priority since it is the base of your independence, and the forward motion for your life.
Gaming is great but it is not real life, and should not be treated as such; it is a wonderful relaxer for sure. Gamespot will always be here for the time you want to speak out once again. Good Luck on your job search.

iowastate - Yeah, Laura Ingraham is a good host... i listen to her sometimes. Yes Fallout 3 is alot like Oblivion and also better in some ways (having guns for one). LOL i have a feeling their going to regret electing him after he starts taking away their freedom but only if it is a freedom they use.

robinwa - Yeah, balancing out what you love and what you want to learn has always been a easy job for me but only because i had such a great childhood. Thanks, i hope i get one soon.

2nd paragraph was lol
Plus i like Rush 2 hes nice w/ the point

legolas95 Yes, El Rushbo is awsome!

About time some people started to mention that Obama is a communist, i mean this redistribution of the wealth crap he was talking about.....has everyone forgotten that just because the berlin wall came down and the soviet union broke up doesn't mean that communism no longer exists.

I know the feeling, the feeling that nothing is going the way it should . Its a tough emotion to deal with, but if nothing else, know that alot of folks are rooting for you.

Tough times come and go. It is the challenges that we face that forge us into men and women of great character.

Would just like to say, I hope you aren't planning on leaving GS or anything. I always love to hear your input around here.

Oh one last thing, you say you like reading. What kind of stuff you reading these days?

themovi3nut - Exactly; communism will always exist, it has no limits. It is an idea, which is very easy to love if you don't know its history and all of what communism really means. An all powerful state which can distibute all possesions, medical and jobs evenly is a state which has the power to do whatever it wants. Too many people think govenrment can solve all their problems... Like they unlike a private sector job wouldn't be corrupt if we had just the right people in their. Yet the opposite is true, govenrnment is far more corrupt then any business could be, because it is not only the final judge which puts out laws but also a place where all world talks and declared wars are made. It is quite strange, how people think government is supposed to be this perfect person which delivers everyone from evil, when they have created the most evil of any business in the history of the world. A business is for profit but a government's ultimate goal is for power. We may somtimes have people in power who want to lower the size of government but that doesn't happen very often. Dantheman - Thank you. Yes your right, it is one of the reasons which i think make them good to go through; it shapes you into the man/women you want to be (most of the time). Not at the moment. Like i said, i just won't blog very much anymore. Well right now i am reading Islamic Imperialism: A History. It is a very enlighteing book about the history of Islam. I love reading about things i don't have a clue about. The one thing i can't stand is reading a really long book. I prefer books around 300 pages or less... otherwise i find myself bored--unless of course it is a fanasy; like Harry Potter, Chronicles of Narnia, Twilight, or Eragon. I love learning about pretty much everything in life, so i don't really only read political or historical books. The last few books i read were - The art of war, Think a second time, The case against homework, Above Emperian, Liberal Fasicism and Twilight 1-4.

luckypool04 - Lets also not forget the millions upon millions of people killed through communism.

I know it’s terrible how many do not realize how bad communism really was. The amount of documentation of the Nazi history is vast but communism has never really been that great evil which was virtually announced, like Nazism was. There isn't a good and decent person who doesn't view what Nazism was as evil as far as I know. Yet many of the isms like Nazism which were big back in the early and mid 20th century-- like communism, fascism were all basically the same thing. All three of those were really along the same lines. They all were big tools for creating a totalitarian dictator-like state.

luckypool04 - There's been estimates that 30 million people were killed under Stalin's regime.

I’m just guessing here but I think it was even more than that. Either way, one death is far too many. How many more deaths, is it going to take for people to realize how insane the idea that government can help them more then private citizens can? People are far too ignorant of the world around them. I think it’s going to take a massive disaster to wake people up to the bigger picture. The world isn't just good people and lollypops. There is evil in this world and there are consequences to living in complete ignorance of the worlds Real problems. There is such a thing as big government and if you liberals think Bush was a devil-like dictator well you haven't seen anything yet. You liberals are going to reap what you sow someday it isn't going to be your utopia but rather your dystopia.

Since when does politics have anything to do with games? I can't escape you people anywhere....

America is one big monument to excess. Excess food, excess greed, excess bigotry and defiantly an excess of misplaced pride. America's history is drenched in misinformation and lore. The "rights" you politicians base so much pride on was made by corrupt people. Why were they corrupt? Because they were human and not Gods like so many of you people tend to see them as. Like Washington? He deceived all of America, He said he was a humble guy that just wanted to help America, but he was driven by greed for power and authority. He owned slaves, and treated them like people did back then, mostly like dogs. Some of his famous teeth were taken from several slaves. And it's probably unlikely that they gave them up willingly.... Everyone has been force-fed stuff like Patriotism and "freedom". Like 80% of the world is free. And glorified dieing for your country, when a death for a flag is meaningless. Dieing for people is worth something. You judge and place everyone into a category of "right" or "left" when to try and do this is completely impossible and idiotic.

You, and others like you, ramble at an insane level until all of your voices coalesce into loud, idiotic nonsense. You all begin to lose what makes you, you and turn into useless, dull, pointless maggots. A politicians life is but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an fool, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

But I did once see as you see, until I was enlightened and realized that every second talking about something so useless was a transgression upon one's life and others around it. Try and see it my way, it is probably difficult for someone blinded by the lies of politics. If you take a single thing from what I've said, let it be this; "Fate rewards the far-seeing and punishes the myopic."

luckypool04 - Your right fascism or communism = both bad.

themovienut - yup.

Magisterburner - since when did free speech go out the window? It’s my blog buddy and I will do as a wish.

As to your other comments... utter trash and nonsense. America is the greatest country that ever lived. Notice I said greatest, not flawless or utopian; nothing is perfect. We have the best system because we were built by men who were not perfect but rather understood the tyranny of the human soul. We humans have a natural urge to rule others and it is that weakness which is most deadly, when it comes to a government. That is why government is a necessary evil and it is why we Americans take pride in our system... because we were built for the intention of a free market capitalism, which was built into our republic. Excess? What excess? And what is wrong with excess? Would are country be a better place if we didn't have any food for its citizens? I’m not sure what world you’re living in but over in America, we love life. It’s no fault of ours if your country doesn't have what we have. We believe in freedom and free enterprise over here and we love it. Your funny... you think we are a nation of bigotry? Were the opposite. We have people of every creed, race and sex in the world--which has struggles just like any other person in the world--except that we are the best place to get ahead in the world and therefore have the least to worry about when it comes to getting ahead. No, I’m afraid it is you who have been misled tell me what misinformation you’re talking about and then I’ll help you understand it better. I’m not sure what your where your getting this "god" phrase, because most Americans don't view our founders as gods but men who had faults like any other but were most magnificent when it came to making the greatest country the world has ever seen. Don't even get me started on your comment about Washington, that’s pure garbage. If Washington wanted to, he could have made himself king when he was elected but he chose not to. He also at first thought himself unworthy of being the commander of the continental congress when it gave him permission to start our revolution. As for him owning slaves, your right he did but so did most people back then, including Africans who lived in Africa. During the revolution, while he was striving for liberty for his people, he began to see the contradiction between his struggle and slavery. As he got older and became president, he knew that slavery was wrong but he also knew that this country was extremely fragile and that the southern states wouldn't join the union if he were to show public support for the abolition of slavery--though we would have a civil war, over it, only seventy years later. In his will, he arranged for all the slaves he owned to be freed after his wife Martha died and to care for and educate them. Force fed?? Maybe in your country but not in ours. We have freedom of the press here (although they are mostly biased and liberal now). Your right but the flag symbolizes the people and what we believe in. America believes you can do whatever you want as long as you follow the law. We love our freedom and that is why we have young men and women die for it every day. If you want to go into business go into business and make a profit. We unlike most countries want are citizens to succeed and if they become extremely successful and they won't share their wealth then we could care less--because we believe people have a right to make a living and not have what they earned through hard work be taken away from them and given to someone less fortunate. How is it impossible to place someone who believes in a set of principles to join a left or a right? If you believe in making world a better place by feeling bad for the disadvantaged then you’re probably a liberal democrat (the left). If you know there are people who are disadvantaged and you think it would be best if private individuals took care of those people and the government got out of their way, you’re probably a conservative republican (the right).

Well I feel the same about you and others like you. We are in agreement there. Yes, Politian’s have a bad history for being useless and corrupt; no disagreement there. If there is one thing that I have learned in this life, it is that nothing is useless; we are here for a reason. Whether it is because of god's will or just a mere speck of space, which was perfectly formed into a human after billions of years... I don't know, no-one does but to say that politics is useless is like saying freedom is--because politics is a part of our everyday lives. Most of us can't see it because we don't pay attention to ends and outs of our own system of government. We don't understand that government can give rights but also easily and gradually take those rights away. External enemies are far and in-between but government is eternal and as a general rule, almost always seeks more power. Therefore, when you go to vote for someone to represent you in a democracy, you are not just voting for a person, you are voting for that person's ideas and ideas matter as we have learned tragically from various murderers from the 20th century like Hitler Stalin, Mussolini, Mao.

True. If you take a single thing from what I have said, let it be these three things - "Government is not reason; it is eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." "I can only say that there is not a man living who wishes more sincerely than I do to see a plan adopted for the abolition of slavery" both George Washington - "Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be are wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence." John Adams.

"Utter trash and nonsense." Such words are expected from you politicians. Every other opinion is wrong if it's not what you believe. The marines die for our "freedom"? No, they die for money and to get through collage. Blinded, misplaced pride... Everything you've said and thought has been regurgitated and force-fed to every generation since the beginning of America's life. Me talking here, right now is an absolute waste because you will not see the truth. So I won't try and convince you any longer. Go ahead and do what your ancestors did, Grow, breed and die, with not a single meaningful thing left in this world from you. May life be gentile with you.

politicians? What are you talking about? What are you on? Try going without the drugs, next time before you reply. Wow I guess that was a complete waste of my time. You obviously either didn't read a word I wrote or your just flaming; either way I could care less, because you obviously only had the agenda having people believe your side. I on the hand, would have debated you but I guess that would be pretty difficult when the other person speaks like a know-it-all---narcissist.

The US is not the greatest country, not by a long shot! The US has massive internal problems.

thump - what internal problems? On account that we have the most freedom (although Obama will surely fix that) its a fact that were the greatest in almost every way.

Don't take this the wrong way, buy your internal problems include the current world recession (which the US started) For the richest country in the world, there are large amounts of poverty throughout. Your health system is a joke, you have the highest gun related murders in the western world and the amount of religious nutters in the US is disturbing! Get where im going with this?

Have you visited any other countries?

Thumb - I have tried to debate with you a multiple of times but you all you do is flame--I have no more time for you unless, you have the guts to watch this whole thing and tell me what you think - http://www.cspan.org/Watch/watch.aspx?MediaId=HP-A-15919 If you want to know what us conservatives like me believe, look up Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Pain, John Adams, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Edmund Burke, Adam Smith, F. A. Hayek, Milton Friedman, Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan, Thomas Sowell, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Dennis Prager and many others. Those are the type of people who have influenced me. If you can find it in yourself to check the other side out then I and all people will have more respect for you but until that day, please don't respond.

Thump, I'm sorry to say, but you are down right ignorant if you think that the US "started" this recession. The economy is a series of high tides and ebbing tides, and the reasons for its ebb and flow are global, international problems.
