So I made it into beta but I'm having trouble accessing my account. I wouldn't recognize my old password and when I reset the pw it wouldn't recognize the new pw either.
So I'm officially back now that I can afford the subscription for SWTOR again. Unfortunately every time I log into swtor I get the blue screen of death. Hopefully I'll get the issue resolved soon In the mean time I picked up GW2 and from my initial impressions it seems really promising so I'll see you guys in game.
The 47% are not comprised of children.... That is just liberal talking points.
Oh and you better hope he doesn't get back in because if he does... I've got my out and I'll be done with workin for that puke... And I'm not going to be the only one who will be out as well. So good luck cause at that point you'll need all you can get.
So...how about that Romney video where he digs a deep hole in front of a bunch of donors? I guess that's why politicians lie - speaking candidly is how you lose an election, at least with those views.
You really want to get me started again? There is nothing he said that was not TRUE.
Didn't seem to hurt the Obama with his comments on ... Bitter clingers.... Oil and Coal companies necessarily failing due to regulations... The Plumber... redistribution... didn't build it.... and on and on and on..
As for Venlar...
"Then why do conservatives seem hell bent on putting government and regulation in the bedroom?"
1) Gay marriage
Uh this doesn't have to do with your bedroom it has to do with what has already been discused as a result of the States rights on marriage
2) Civil unions
Again nothign to do with what you do in your bedroom. Screw who you want but see my previous answer for why some States and the people in those states decide why they do or do not want Gay Marriage or Civil Unions.
Don't like what a state does or doesn't do you are free to move out of State to one that is more accomadating to you. There are plenty
3) Anti-sodomy laws
Really? Dude stop stretching.... Show me the latest person who was arrested for this who A Wasn't doing something else ethey weren't suppoused to be doing in publice or B Hell just see A
4) Birth control regulation and bans
LOL there are no bans on birth control.... I love how when people argue that they don't want public tax payer funds to pay for certain things that it is somehow a regulation or a ban. It is not... You are free to spend your own damn money and get what you want when you want for whatever reason you...
The real problem here is forcing religious organizations to go against their believes and provide services that are contrary to what they believe. But that's okay I know that most libs don't give a crap about what other people's beliefs and morales are... I mean if we don't hold the same belief system or morale system that you want us to have were just hate mongers.... It's okay I understand
5) abortion
If you need one go get it... If you want me to pay for it go fuck yourself.
6) mandatory invasive internal ultra sound probes for abortion even in the case of rape.
You want to elaborate on the entire law and the reason why it is being looked at, and what STATE specifically it is in? Because I don't' see when or where that is being forced upon the populace in general
1 and 2) We're not going to agree on this no matter what. The way I see it is discrimination based on sexual orientation. Saying that you can just move to another state isn't a solution to the problem seeing as the far right has tried to introduce a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage on a national level at least 5 times since 2002. This is an issue that will continued to be fought out until gay marriage is universal or until its outright banned.
3) Anti-Sodomy laws were deemed unconstitutional in 2003 in the Lawrence v. Texas case in which 2 men were arrested after a false burglary call led officers to their home where they were arrested for violating the anti-sodomy law. However since 2003 several states have continued to keep these laws on the books despite the supreme courts ruling. States such as Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Maryland, Minnesota, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Utah and Virginia. State legislators have actively tried to find loopholes around the Lawrence v. Texas decision in order to continue discriminating against same sex couples.
4) The "personhood" bills that republicans have tried to pass in several states and in congress would not only ban abortion but effectively ban several types of birth control, contraceptives and invetro fertilization.
5) Here you differ from the far rights attempts to outright ban abortion. Which is in my opinion the biggest part of the abortion argument. Funding is another issue entirely.
6) Virginia tried to pass a bill that would require a transvaginal ultrasound before getting an abortion however the bill was revised because of public outcry. However similar bills have been passed in Texas, Oklahoma and North Carolina.
Then why do conservatives seem hell bent on putting government and regulation in the bedroom?
Cite an example please.
If you're an american and not doing anything to infringe on the freedom of other americans I really don't want to know what you're doing in bed.
Disclaimer - I'm a real conservative not a whack-job religious right one.
Gay marriage, civil unions, anti-sodomy laws, birth control regulation and bans, abortion, mandatory invasive internal ultra sound probes for abortion even in the case of rape.
I know you're not a whack-job religious right conservative but they are taking over the party. I used to be a republican and have seen this coming for a while. Moderate Republicans are being pushed out and replaced by teabaggers that tow the hard right party and religious lines.
What sickens me the most about this election cycle though is the blatant attempts at voter suppression all in the name of eliminating voter fraud. Not only is voter fraud incredibly rare but is almost never perpetrated by an individual in person so these new laws will have no impact on the actual statistics. If you want to take a look at them I recomend this article from the NYU school of law. http://www.brennancenter.org/content/resource/policy_brief_on_the_truth_about_voter_fraud/
What's even worse now though is there has been a push to take enforcement of voting rights out of the hands of the federal government and be solely controlled and enforced by the states. This would ultimately allow states to circumvent constitutional amendments such as the 14th, 15th, 19th, 24th, and 26th amendments which deal with citizenship, race, sex, age, and poll taxes. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/20/todd-akin-voting-rights_n_1810228.html
Ah trust me Voter fraud is RAMPANT in the country. When you can explain to me how requiring an individual to have a nVALID ID showing your true STATE RESIDENCE and US CITIZENSHIP to vote as suppresion then I'll lesson to your points.
Voting is not a right, it is a privledge. It is the single most important privledge that a citizen has to inact change and get the persons they want in the positions necessary to inact the legislation they desire.
Seeing how it is the most IMPORTANT privledge you would think it would be protected as such. What is freakin' insane is that the same fools who yell and scream that you should be carding everyone who buys beer or cigarrettes to make sure the youth aren't hurting themselves yell and scream louder to keep the most important privledge we have from being protected.
Think of all the places you go or things you do that require VALID ID, but the most important thing you can do to inact true change in your life with elected officials is suppoused to be what? Not as important.... Give me a fuckin break.
You need ID to
I'll trust you on voter fraud being rampant in the country if you can show me evidence that it is. All the statistics I have seen show that it's .0002% - .0009% of votes that are fraudulent and the vast majority of which are absentee ballots that don't require someone to be in person to vote.
I disagree that voting is not a right. It is referred to as a right in the 15th, 19th, 24th and 26th amendments. Please explain why you believe it is a privilege and not a right as an American citizen.
The argument that we have to use ID for so many other things in this country is false logic. The same argument can be used to justify the requirement for ID in every other aspect of our lives in this country. That simply becomes a road towards a draconian society.
You also are ignoring the fact that the laws are a clear violation of the constitution. Particularly the 24th amendment which reads:
"Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax.
Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."
If a U.S. Citizen does not have proper ID in the states that are passing these law then in order to vote they must pay a fee to the state in order to obtain the proper ID. This is a poll tax.
Also please don't give me the argument that people on welfare need id to cash their welfare checks. There are many other people out there without ID. MY 90 year old grandmother uses direct deposit for her SS and no longer drives so she doesn't have an ID. She's worked the polls all her life and if she were in a state with a voter ID law she would not be allowed to vote. Don't forget college students whom have out of state IDs that will not be accepted at the polls.
You also haven't addressed the voter purges in Florida which is disenfranchising thousands of voters and leaving them with no way of appeal.

I'm no big fan of Ron Paul but he got seriously screwed at the RNC. They changed the rules so He couldn't be officially nominated and so they could replace delegates loyal to him with delegates for Romney. Notice how the teleprompter says the Ayes have it while the No's are still voting.
