    Are you getting a console?

    I'll probably get a WII in the coming months. If this game is available at that time, it will be the first one I buy for the console.

    Waterboarding, is it torture? Should it be allowed?

    For me, it depends. If the torture is just to get information, then forget it. I bet I could simply threaten to 'waterboard' more than few people on this forum and get them to not only admit to any terrorist act I could come up with, but likewise implicate every person who posted on this thread...

    Democrats: Colleges must police copyright, or else

    These are worthy things to be paying for at an institution of Higher Education. Propping up some group of companies that don't know how to run their own business is not one of those things tuition/fees should be goings towards.

    Democrats: Colleges must police copyright, or else

    Indeed the reality is that it is hard not to attend a university that doesn't raise it's fees every single year for some reason or another. *shrug* What if I don't download music ever, and don't ever want to? Or what if I'm already a subscriber to a service? Why should I pay this? It's my job...

    Democrats: Colleges must police copyright, or else

    Not if you can't afford it due to the higher fees. Frankly I don't see colleges supporting this idea at all. Simple supply and demand (economics 101 if you like) tells you that if you raise your prices (tuition/fees) you're going to lose customers (paying students, whatever the source of money...

    AI still too passive compared to CIVIII

    Agreed. There are plenty of war games out there. Civilization (the game) is not necessarily defined by wars, as much as the result of wars with the ensuing peace, and the cultivation of society.

    Can you see stereoscopic photography without equipment?

    I can only do the parallel ones, but I could probably get the cross-eyed one with practice. However my attempts to do the cross-eyed ones give me a bit of eye strain, so no more of that.

    What was the big deal with escaping from East Germany?

    Lots of families were split up.

    Anglican schism seems imminent...

    Exactly. I do question that they are the majority in my church, but whether they are or not, let them have their homosexual communion and leave the rest of us out of it.

    Anglican schism seems imminent...

    Whatever. I am an American Episcopalian. If the American Episcopalians decide to break the church up and for their own Traditionalist church where sexuality is not celebrated, then I will immediately join that church. I don't really care what Africa does.

    So much for throwing water on a fire!

    And this is what I find odd about the articles on this process. Not a single one of them go into the process after the ignition. This is pretty darned important. It is entirely conceivable that this process could work to excite water molecules to the extent that the bonds holding the hydrogen...

    A military coup in America

    The people are just far too complacent at this moment in history. It can't last forever I don't think....

    I broke the "just friends" barrier, I rock.

    I too, in my not-distant-past, have managed to break through the 'friends' barrier. It can be done (and I was on top of the world by the fact that I accomplished it), but I would not reccommend anybody trying it. The frustration levels can be insurmountable. I'd give any guy about a one in two...
