I voted for Gary Johnson. Obama's victory here in Washington state is more or less assured no matter what happens. With the outcome essentially predetermined, a vote for democrat or republican is just as wasted as voting for a third party candidate, so I may as well vote for the candidate I...

You can get Civilization II MGE to run on Windows 7 x64, as well as Test of Time. Instructions on how to patch it up so you can are here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=193215 With Civilization I though, you'll need to use Dosbox or a virtual PC of some kind.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transsexuality_in_Iran Not exactly something I expected going into that article.

It is worth pointing out. Weren't they opposed to the NDAA too, at least until Obama signed it into law? If so, why would one trust it this time?

I suppose I should state that I'm actually not a Ron Paul supporter, but I do admire a number of his views. I simply think you're being unreasonable with your assertion that somehow he would become this dictator if he were to disregard the rules set by the justice department, which the...

Of course not, but following within the bounds of the constitution would hardly make a president dictatorial.

So you believe a government based on our constitution will lead to something akin to Nazism? What? I believe he talks about eliminating the departments of education, commerce, energy, housing and urban development, and the interior while transferring the vital functions of those departments...

How? By following the constitution? Just because he would disregard rules and precedent in the justice department that go beyond what the constitution lays out doesn't mean he's turning the office of the presidency into some sort of dictatorship. Look at his budget plan. He leaves...

Here's what Article II Section II of the US constitution has to say about presidential pardons, which I can guarantee you is the only thing Ron Paul would consider if he were to be president: http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution_transcript.html

Those are rules set by the justice department which a president Paul, as head of the executive branch, could easily ignore if he so chooses. The constitution gives no special requirements for receiving a federal pardon. I was responding to a point made that Ron Paul would quickly privatize...

Why do you think that? His proposed plan has absolutely no cuts to either program: http://www.ronpaul2012.com/the-issues/ron-paul-plan-to-restore-america/

You would see every non-violent drug offender in federal prison be pardoned, probably within his first week. That would be big.

The annoying thing about tip credit is that while in theory the employer is obligated to compensate by bringing the employee up to the minimum wage in the event that the employee's tips don't do so, in practice it usually doesn't happen. I find this to be more of a case with food delivery...

Forgive me for being skeptical of what you're saying, but honestly, when he's on record of standing against racial profiling, pointing out the racial and economic bias in the judicial system, of changing his opinion on the death penalty from supporting it to opposing it in part because in...
