There's a natural process to it, sure. That isn't to say we haven't done anything to screw ourselves royally. Whatever happened to worrying about the ozone and running out of natural resources? Now there's a real issue that should probably be addressed before scientists try to 'correct' the earth's axis shifting or anything stupid like that. 'Global' warming seems to be the wrong term to use, though. It's not the entire world that's going up i

Please, RTCP, let's summarize my anti-american statements. As I see it thus far, I've lamented on Bush, the war, and the outrightly hostile way in which people who don't agree with the US government are being treated. Myself included, it seems. There's a difference between the people running the country, and the people living in the country. What we're talking about here is the former. Don't forget that. Your leader is not the end all and be all of you

The UN seemed to have a good idea in not sending all their member countries to war over false pretenses. They knew WMDs didn't exist, which Georgy boy finally admitted to recently. Of course, the war continues. Exacting revenge for 9/11 and eliminating all forms of evil will take exactly as long as it'll take to completely control Iraq and turn it into a parking lot. I'd say the UN did a great job, in its hard desicion, and saved a lot of live

I agree wholeheartedly, starfish. There is a world of difference between the people running the states, and the general populace. It's when the former whips the latter into a frenzy that things get ugly. I've never been mistreated by individual Americans, and only mildly annoyed by those who identify themselves solely with the will of their government. If we were to tell our population to up and leave if they didn't like our Prime Minister, th

Who would've thought there's a market for custom sounds. This is great to see Stardock dudes, you've got your mission. Sound Packager! Buddy icons would definitely be neat. I usually crop mine out of whatever web comic I happen to be engrossed in at the time. People ask 'who's that?' and I direct them to some good reading. I'd like to see a Trillian section,

Love the links. Politrix.org is one great place. And that kid on bushflash, well he's vindicative but he's got a good sense of humour and drama And yes, RTCP, I'd sooner rely on a governing organization that's accepted worldwide, like the UN.

Actually, Canada has historically been commended for our human rights approach, and we're still in the top ten countries worldwide. We have the longest average life expectancy. Our quality of life, employment and education rate, and health care system are all worlds beyond the states. And when you take a look at murders and violent crimes, it's hard to believe we're on the same continent. But that's all concerning local issues. When it comes to the wor

Good point, WebGizmos. People place far too much weight on Moore simply because he had the nerve to publicize his views. If more people in his corner were half as brave to speak up, there would be a lot less of this kind of rallying and labelling. Moore isn't exactly Karl Marx here, and airing a gripe with the government doesn't make you a communist or unpatriotic. Blaming every left winged train of thought on Moore would be like blaming every

Thanks Donna G. I'm not here to bang my head against a wall and make the same post over and over. I said my piece with one post. Believe it, don't believe it, pick it apart, do what you wish. I stand by my position, but the more I hear spewed about it, the stronger my convictions get. Good luck diffusing this one, guys. And remember, history is written by the victors <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Yum.gif" border=0 ALIGN="abs

I spent Christmas and New Year's last year in the states. Never again! The constant paranoia stressed me out. The family I was staying with kept the TV and radio on constantly 'just in case'. Even on the bus crossing the border we were given regular updates on the terror alert level. Along with countless Americans, I was made to feel totally unsafe, and for no good reason. You want world leaders who brainwash their citizens? Bush is your man!<

I've got extensible and customizable eye candy on my PC thanks to Object Desktop Last time I sat down at a mac I seriously had no idea what was going on. It's been a long time since I 'learned' PCs, but I do believe it was somewhat intuitive at least. Useability factor = my butt. Kudos to those who do use them, however. It's good to be different. <img src="http://ima

The real me still clocks in the top two results. I'm proud of that. Of course, the bio from my old site is horribly out of date. Barring those results, though, I'm also President & Director Center for Automotive Research, with a Master's Degree in Industrial and Operations Engineering. Not bad for a guy who knows nothing about cars.
