    Even in the video games, the magnum is far superior to the desert eagle.

    Republican’s Commitment to America

    Oh, I'm not entirely sure of that. I do think that there will be a shift to the Republicans in the elections in the fall. On a completely unrelated note, how many Californians knew that there was actually a Democrat running for governor? For the longest time I thought the election was only...

    I don't support the troops

    My point was that I think his philosophical principles should be taught more, but shouldn't be mentioned as having a major influence on the beginnings of the American republic.

    Offshoot Torture Thread: Your Reasons for Opposition

    While I agree that torture is a barbaric and inhumane method, I can certainly think of ways to extract information from a suspect in such a way that they wouldn't be able to lie about their information. Ex: Let's say the government catches a known terrorist suspect on American grounds and is...

    NBA 2009 Regular Season

    Yeah, I'm finally glad Dirk lost the choke label, because he's been pretty far from choke status throughout much of his career. If there's one team that worries me (Lakers) in the West, it would have to be the Mavericks. The Nuggets can't be considered a legit threat mainly due to their...

    U.S. history textbooks could soon be flavored heavily with Texas conservatism

    But it's mandatory for students to be in school. Does this mean they are getting homeschooled? Or they're just not attending school at all?

    Brewing tensions between the Tea Party and GOP

    I mean, from their point of view though, I get why they are frustrated with the moderate conservatives. I mean, after looking at what Bush Jr. did in office, going completely in the opposite direction against the so called-"conservative values" (Bush increased government, etc.), I can see why...

    Brewing tensions between the Tea Party and GOP

    Will this have a negative effect on the GOP in the 2010 or 2012 elections?

    U.S. history textbooks could soon be flavored heavily with Texas conservatism

    Psh, not everything about Catholicism is bad. Besides, Thomas Aquinas had a considerable influence on Western philosophy and thought, and his philosophies were extremely positive (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomism) and I wouldn't mind him being taught in the classroom more. Still, they are...

    U.S. history textbooks could soon be flavored heavily with Texas conservatism

    From my recent high school experiences, I can say that the views of textbooks are rather left in nature, rather than right (aha) and I'd agree that taking out some of the bias in some of these books would be good. Yes, but America isn't a tossed salad. It's more like dirt (no insult...

    While I think the article is heavily biased, damn this. Half, if not all of these proposals are crap.

    Leaked documents reveal GOP plan to use scare tactics to raise money

    Lincoln trampled on American rights. He abused his powers more than George W. Bush, and you call him a progressive? :lol:
