WE DIDN'T LOSE THE ELECTION, WE JUST DIDN'T WIN

Now there is a brilliant statement. What a tit this toad is. (snowlol)

It's called being an optomist with "the glass is half full" jargon :D

In all due seriousness though, after having been to the hospital for the heart attack he had earlier this year; my father had the worst possible news but the way he was telling it, I could only help but to laugh a bit. It's like "It's the first time I've heard someone describe that as a good thing". He was like "yeah, it's not the normal way to look at it; but the doctors told me, I have to watch my stress, else risk another coronary, so..." They apprently have him in a stress management program or something like that...

Oh well, still find it a bit silly...

Oh, and I wouldn't say no one likes him; a neighboring appartment still has Kerry's campaign posters plastered around their windows and porch. Tis his house though ;)

Admittedly (and speaking soley for myself) I don't like many of Bush's policies, but personally I just care to have the election, the campaigns, all the mud slinging over. Only goes to show just how dirty and ugly the face of politics can be.

I'm not dead, I'm just not alive. :rofl

EDIT: Not directed at your above post Son Goku...just read that. You know what I mean, kind of like in Monty Python's Holy Grail "bring out your dead" scene. :D

Now, now, Clay, that would be freaky :rofl Anyone who could say that, it'd be more like "I'm not dead, I'm a member of the living dead" :eek:

Speak of mudslinging, has anybody played the vampire bloodlines game yet? It is riddled with all kinds of anti-republican and anti-bush material throughout the game from start to finish.

You'd figure that with a videogame you could escape politics and crap like that for an hour or two a day. Not that I outright don't like the game though (then again it is quite buggy, but it is pretty fun to play, which says a lot as I usually don't like vampire games.)

Meh, stuff like that doesn't bother me. It comes with the territory of being a conservative. I just won't buy their products and not worry about it.

Not that I am really appalled by it, but entertainment is supposed to be entertainment, not politics. Sure its good to talk politics now and then, but not all the time. I don't eat the same food for every meal and when I buy an apple it better be an apple, not an orange. Likewise when I am promised entertainment I would expect it to be entertainment and not somebody's off the wall political message.

Then again democrats love to religiously preach their messages (ironic I know) whenever and however they can through any means at their disposal, so I suppose these days it isn't reasonable to expect to be free of this stuff since most of the entertainment industry is dominated by the left (I can think of a few movies that give hints at this, such as "anchorman" and "the day after tommorow.") But it is a bit bad that in order for them to get you to taste their oranges they have to disguise them as apples, even though you already know what the orange tastes like and you just simply don't want one.

Thing is, though, Troika is not a US-based development house. That doesn't make it any less "wrong" (for lack of a better word) to include strong political messages in a game, unless of course that's the point.

I didn't take your post that way. I was just saying that things like that don't bother me but I agree with you that it doesn't need to be there.
