He might also be referring to the slow down in multiplayer games for those which are still highly active.

Nooo...hell I mentioned Just Cause 2 and Mass Effect 2, my favorite games for the moment actually, both single player only.

oh well, at least there is November and it aint that far away.

then there is Decemeber

I might get overtime this year. Last year was weird in the fact that most of us at work got very little overtime.

I might get a job this year, but alas, probably not the way things look.

bummer, sorry to hear about that

meh been out since May I'm used to it.  I knew it was a bad time to quit but I was getting seriously tired (night job) and cranky

health is the most important, but an income comes a close second as the income can pay for things like food, clothing accomodation(housing) and as poor last entertainment( computer games), which are all wanted( some say needed)  by most people.

harpo

Yesssss...I'm alright though, been on SSI for a long time...don't like being on it as I'd rather work but right now its hard to argue with.

Well, it is good to know that you would rather work then get freebies. Also understand the desire to quit a night job. That is a tough time frame to work in. I'm glad I no longer have to work it myself.

Okay, it's a change of subject, but I had a very fucked up dream. The best part was when a woman was pinned under a fallen telephone pole and the cops rescued her. In the conversation after, she mentioned that her dad had recently died and she was going to St. Sebations to get drugs to overdose on. THe cops told her that the service there sucked and that if she waited till they were done, they would put a round in her.

Like an editorial on healthcare in my head.

...

lol, that is one messed up dream

there are some threads being closed lately maybe we get lucky and are relieved of this thread too

-Exiled Possum

Those threads were closed due to the fact that they devolved into name calling and flaming.

Therefore.........

IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD YOU ARE NONTHINKING MORONS!

or

IF YOU BELIEVE IN GOD YOU ARE BLIND MORONS!

Amen?

amen = I agree or something to that effect

lol

amen = it shall be so

afaik

-Exiled Possum

yeah something to that effect

"We are, by astronomical standards, a pampered, cosseted, cherished group of creatures.. .. If the Universe had not been made with the most exacting precision we could never have come into existence. It is my view that these circumstances indicate the universe was created for man to live in"

- John O'Keefe (astronomer at NASA)

Either God made everything for us (humans) to enjoy or we are just an incredibly fortunate bio-cell that happen to evolve by pure luck.

- control-SEVEN

can't it be both?

And yes, it was one fucked up dream. That was just one little part of the whole thing. It was hilarious!

either you follow the God of order and purpose or you follow the God of luck and randomness

the western concept of God is so constricting.

in some ways

on the one hand you have a God that is all and does all with no need for help or alliances from others so there is no need to worry about other gods to anger

on the other you can only serve one and are limited in choice

flipside with mulitple gods you have different gods that do different things and cover different realms and if you anger some of them the others cannot stop the coming judgment or they are limited in how they can help

but you can pick and choose at will and even change if you so desire

i would much prefer the ancient cults of various gods then the stupid religions we have now.

-Exiled Possum

ancient cults often had blood sacrifices (human and/or animal) where as modern does not

after that there is little to no differences

both got involved heavily in politics

both got involved heavily with warfare

both lay down strict rules of conduct, often times to the suppression of others

etc.
