I am a tomato.

Also, wow this place has changed.

Also also also I kind of wish my name was still 'meh'.

There is no reason not to play Coach. He's some sort of diabolical combination of Francis and Louis, with a bit of Bill's badassness mixed in.

As to who I would revive, Rochelle, without question. The human race must go on.

FUCK YOUR SHIT UP NIGGA

This guy looks legit.

EDIT: You liar, it was your second ban. http://www.syndicate-gamers.net/sourcebans/index.php?p=banlist&searchText=STEAM_0:0:26789668&Submit

Is there some reason that no one has just banned his account name yet?

So what you're saying is that someone can buy admin with seniority and go batshit insane, and only advisors or managers can stop them? Or can we still ban other admins regardless of their seniority level?

1. Air Force, Space and Missile Officer

2. BA/BS (in my case BA). MBA in the works three or so years down the road.

3. Several months training at Vandenberg AFB, a lot more spent in on the job training.

4. Four years college ROTC, three or four months ASBC and Vandenberg.

5. Salary, medical benefits, education stipend, privilege of living in a hole in the ground

6. You deploy and get shot at by terrorists (Yes I'm a copycat)

EDIT: Caveat so no one gets the wrong idea. I am still eight months away from commissioning, still in college.

After reading your post, I feel no desire to help you. Go emo yourself to death in a corner. Meanwhile, we'll keep collecting your subscription payments because you are too stupid or lazy to figure out how to cancel it yourself.

Right, welcome back.

Please go away again.

You are an example of why the current generation of high school kids is going to doom America.

I actually read this entire thread so far to make sure no one had said it.

Longcat is long.

It wouldn't be unheard of to nominate Obama for the prize even if he didn't do anything prior. The nomination is a prediction of what would be a good candidate when it was the time to select who would win the prize. It's not meant to be an accomplishment to be nominated. It makes sense to nominate anybody that would be a possible winner of the NPP because no other can win it if they were not nominated by February 1st. I'm not saying Obama deserves it, but the date of his nomination should not be taken into consideration.

I disagree. In my opinion, being nominated means that you are being considered for the Nobel Peace Prize. It means that you meet certain criteria (if criteria even exist anymore for it).

Putting aside the absurdity of your position that a nomination isn't an accomplishment and doesn't mean anything (i.e. anyone with a pulse should be a candidate for the Peace Prize since everyone is a possible winner so long as they have good intentions), let's move on to what actually happened. Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize, having done nothing, and many people who had already dedicated years or decades of their lives towards actually advancing the cause of world peace lost out. That sort of victory for Obama politicizes the Nobel Peace Prize (not that it wasn't already political, ffs Pope John Paul II didn't win it, I still haven't forgotten that) and debases its value.

To conclude, since being nominated Obama has kept the Guantanamo detention facility operational despite promising to close it. He has continued to prosecute the wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan, and in fact is seriously considering augmenting the number of personnel in Afghanistan. To name three areas where US foreign policy currently is in play: North Korea continues to develop nuclear weapons and posture, Iran is close to enriching enough uranium for at least one nuclear device, and Pakistan is engaged in what is effectively a civil war with Taliban and warlord forces in the Federally Administered Tribal Area.

Obama has not brought the world closer to peace. He has not done anything to promote peace in the Middle East. All he has done is talk, and talk, and talk. Good intentions are nice, but decorations such as the Nobel Peace Prize should be awarded on the basis of more than a person's intentions.

Nobel Peace Prizes? I found one in my cereal box this morning.

I'm not up in arms about Obama's winning it, but he doesn't deserve it. It shouldn't be about intentions, it should be about results. He was nominated for this sucker when he hadn't even been in office for a month - there is no possible way that he had accomplished anything prior to being nominated.

I have the same feeling tbh.

so why can't we all get along?

Because causing drama is more fun for some people.

@ Chosen, I think you're exaggerating. In my experience, you can disagree with the leadership, but it's the method by which you do so that matters. In some ways it's a variant of 'praise in public, criticize in private'. If you have an issue with the leadership, it's probably best to take it up via private discussion of some form. The absolute worst thing you can do is to make a thread ranting about how the leader(s) suck and should do something/say something/admit to something/whatever. Public confrontation has never, ever produced results. Rational arguments backed with logic and evidence will probably prevail (or at least be listened to).

WHERE ARE YOU YOU CREAMY YELLOW BASTARDS?!

This is a waste of a thread.

In other news, I will brush my teeth tonight! Discuss.

I have no pity for lazy people.

Still, I did help him.

Really, you can't find it? Did you try looking?

No, of course you didn't. If you'd actually done more than loading the page, looking at what was on your screen, and going "hurr can't find it nope" you might have realized you need to scroll to the bottom of the page. You know, to the the board called 'Recruitment'.

I got tickets to a screening about two weeks ago, and was RIGHT AT THE DOOR when they ran out of seats. Arrived 40 minutes early too. Welp.

I learned my lesson. I got yet more tickets to a screening tonight, showed up an hour and a half early to claim a spot at the freakin' front of the line. Go me. So, after enduring the hour and a half wait that resulted, having my cell phone confiscated (and then waiting in line for 20 minutes after the movie to get it back), I saw Zombieland before it was officially in theaters.

I won't spoil the plot for you, but I'll say that you should definitely go see it. Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) is a complete badass throughout the film, so if nothing else, go to watch him kill zombies in numerous inventive ways using unusual weapons. The best protracted scene with him in my opinion is in the amusement park, but I'll say no more on that.

Spoiler: we don't actually see him fighting zombies using dual-wielded chainsaws while wearing a welding mask. There's one brief clip in a flashback that shows him holding them, but that's it. Yes, I"m disappointed too. No, it didn't ruin the movie for me.

they were banned for a reason. i say this is not a good idea. why should we have to keep two eyes and ears open for them? it really is too much trouble.

This. I've made a number of rage threads about all the second chances, forgiveness, and toleration, and I stand by what I said.

There need to be consequences for people's actions, consequences that stick and don't go away after X period of time. Allowing proven troublemakers or disreputable people in the clan is just asking for problems, and history has shown us that all too frequently those problems materialize.

The CAL website is

The Air Force huh.... the only way the Air Force would show up

I'm pretty sure those guys weren't Air Force. I was merely being pedantic and pointing out that not all branches have fully switched over to the new digital uniforms.

Maybe SWAT was bored that day.

More probably, they were already out there on the streets keeping an eye on the crowd and were the closest group of police to the guy when he started chucking rocks. (Note: was he chucking rocks at a car dealership? Or at the cars on the dealership's lot?)

Also about no one wearing that uniform anymore. The Air Force is still wearing a ghetto mix of BDUs and ABUs. I think the mandatory switch-over date to all ABUs is 2010 or 2011, but by this point only a few people are still wearing the BDU.

that would work also, to blind anyone that does go spectate

I like this idea. I've seen various Hide-and-Seek servers that have blind enabled for dead people and spectators, so I'm pretty sure it's possible.

Agreed with that, but how about the people that were caught in the middle that had nothing to do with the protests and were just trying to get from one place on campus (or in Pittsburgh) to another?

In my opinion it's situational. Regardless of WHY it happened, I agree that college students shouldn't have been targeted by the police. That being said... If the protesters/rioters retreated or spilled over onto the campus grounds and the police followed them... shit happens. It's hard to tell who's a student and who's a protester.

If on the other hand the police decided without provocation to extend their crackdown to the campus, then no. That's not acceptable and the units involved should be censured.
