    Capital Punishment

    P.S. I haven't posted here in years. I am for CP, I hope that doesn't get viewed from the FBI as child-p :D, only in a few cases. Some people think, "Intruders will be shot!" I want CP to apply to them; I am biased in that I don't view property as more important as life. Also for drunk...

    Pushing Daisies

    I like it. It looks though it will be canceled after maybe a couple years. ::sad::

    If you could destroy any building what building would you destroy

    I don't recognize that building; what is it? I would blow up the not yet "Freedom Tower". It has a bad name and only creates nationalism. It doesn't even give us the civ4 units and buildings.

    Emotional Appeal

    Good ole "Appeal to Emotion". When I vote I won't be voting anyone who says something like "for the children".

    Instant Runoff/Acceptable voting

    Why do people not like Mckinney? For me it would be her or Nader. As a system I like approvel the best; I think that is what you call acceptance. It is easy to implement and creates no spoilers. IRV is bad, it doesn't even pass the monotony rule, but it could be used to get out of the 2...

    Rank US Presidents

    Why don't you have the Harrisons? My worst one would be Lincoln. He did everything bad the Bush jr did and more.

    Scared Straight

    I still think that judges and the police should spend a day in prison before they works there.

    I wanna vote for Obama...

    You don't have to vote Mccain. If you don't like either write in. I will probably do so for Ron Paul. I heard on a debate, I think the MTV one, that Mccain will just duplicate Bush. BTW, if my country isn't in my profile I am from NY state.

    SCOTUS to rule on 2nd Amendment

    Most people who are against guns seem to be for statistical reasons, e.g. 70% of people are killed by guns or something or maybe that guns aren't needed. Is anyone for gun control but doesn't use those reasons.

    SCOTUS to rule on 2nd Amendment

    Did you get the "profit" from Slashdot or from South Park? First post in several years. Now I can get the "haven't posted in a while" title to go away.

    the shortest way between two points is not always a straight line :/

    This is somewhat offtopic but I have a picture in Civ3 in that to go forward you must go back. I forgot the details but since you wanted to go onto a mountain it took 2 movement points, all of the turn. If you went back that you could travel along a road and make it take less time. Even in...

    Redistricting legislative district--a math or a myth?

    Haha I get to post my findings. I actually, yes I have no life, did that, both with Congress and it's 29 districts as well as the state assembly and 150. I hope this picture works. It lists each county and the population after already taking out districts smaller than it. Ach. I can't find...

    Why America needs to drill for oil in ANWR

    I say no. Of course I don't like cutting trees for oil when we could build more nuclear plants. Well that's simplified. Let's say that enough oil was found under New York City to make gas 10 cents a gallon. It unfortunately would require the destruction of it and the displacment of 10...

    What if you found out your Civ game was for real?

    This is kind of offtopic but when I play I think of it as real. I don't like cutting down trees willy-nilly or using cannon fodder. That is probably one reason I lose or at least can't play higher levels. Even though I haven't seen the series, well one episode, it might be interesting to...

    How much content is too much for you?

    As much as possible. I don't like it how I can run out of units, tech, et al. It's almost not fun when you are just researching "future tech". Well all but promotions. I never use those significantly. Of course I don't fight hundreds of battles so that makes sense.

    Most Impressive Building?

    I agree. You'd think it would be mentioned earlier. Of course the fact that it is taller then everything right now can't hurt. The WTC would have to be second but if you want, :( current buildings then the Empire State would come in next. As I have been few places there isn't much to list.

    The official "I vow never to put someone on ignore and if I do i'm a loser" contract.

    I use my list for people who I often see as making no sense. I only have a few people. I usually look at them anyways but I still won't sign. Is there any real point to the buddy list except for PM's? Are the two lists public?

    Ok, Math/Physics/Engineering type people..

    One case would be the multi-body mass problem. I was trying to come up with an equation for only 2 bodies. I eventually needed a second order diff. eq. to solve it. Much of school won't not be used, what janitor uses calculus, Good Will Hunting notwithstand? It does depend on what your job...
