I wish we could pull our troops out of there, but in doing so... that's going to allow them to attack us here in the states, and we don't want that. The problem with pulling them out is mostly that if we did, other countries might view us as a sort of weak nation with a weak military that we have to pull out. I most certainly wouldn't want that kind of image anyway. Besides, hardly any other country is helping us as it is, while we in the US go out of our way to help other countries. (whether I call this war "helping" is a mixed opinion.. since I don't think it is with the way its going currently.) We still have a lot of troops as it is, and right now, I think the Navy and Marines probably have the western coast of the US covered for the most part, but I don't really keep up with the military at the moment. But I would want to keep an eye on North Korea indeed..

Let me start off that I'm not trying to attack anyone or anything. A lot of the info I get right now are from a couple of my friends, Fox News, and any sources they use for confirming various pieces of information. I also have my own views and opinions as well, and if I have to break out some of the links and emails I've received, I will. (I only have links to some things, not all of it) Now then, I've never heard of Obama (my friend nicknames him Nobama on occasions) until the elections started for president. I knew from that point that we would have trouble because people have been wanting someone new since Bush has served his maximum of two terms as a president. There was no way he could be re-elected as it would violate our constitution for presidential power. Did I like either McCain or Obama? No, neither. I didn't agree with either of them and I still don't. Both do bring up good points, but as one thing I say, we have a bad choice for a president, and a worse choice. McCain, in my opinion, was the "better" choice of the two because he has served in the military for several years, he knows what our military is like, he would know how to run our military. Obama? None. Nada. Zip. ZERO experience in the military. He doesn't know how to run our military even if it hit him in the ass. Right there is a major + in my book for a president. I would rather have someone who has served in the military than someone who hasn't. Also, Obama doesn't even BACK UP our troops. Is he going to send aid to those in Afghanistan? Most likely not. He doesn't support our military as well as I do. My father served in the Navy for 22 years, my biological father did for several years as well. I have a major heart for the military and will continue to support them as much as I can. Obama doesn't give a shit about what happens to our military. He probably would turn a blind eye if it dissolved entirely. If you want a bit of proof for that, here: I got this email a few days ago from a friend of mine. This is why I say that Obama doesn't give a shit about our military or even if our very own soldiers are dead. I haven't gotten any updates on this, but I'm sure it's on Fox News site somewhere. The current Government in general, including Obama, Nancy Peloci (or however her name is spelled), among other demorats in office are all doing a very good job and planning the destruction of the US Constitution. You know that health care reform that's supposedly going to help? Think again, it's targeting 3-5 US Constitutions that will violate our right to privacy, violate the spread of power of the Judicial Government, among other things. Namely, 4th, 5th, 9th, and 10th amendments. (3rd was mentioned, but I don't know why.. that's why I'm not really saying anything about it here) Oh yeah, you know all that hard-earned money that goes to paying your taxes? How'd you like that same money go to pay for illegal immigrant health bills? I certainly wouldn't want that to happen. I'm not against immigration, but get here legally and all that. If not, get the hell out of the country. We don't need any more of an immigration problem than what it is currently. You know what's really aggravating me? Obama and his goonies are violating the 1st amendment for Freedom of the Press. He is not allowing Fox News, nor any other Government officials, around himself and anything. At all.. they aren't even allowed in press conferences either. Fox News has been specifically targeted by them most likely because 'they are sending messages that would harm the president's reputation' or something like that. Well, think again, it's doing the opposite of what they intended I believe. Rather than gaining, I think they're losing that reputation for restricting Fox from what they do. It's just stupid and mindless... I don't know what the hell they're thinking anymore. With all that said and done, I don't care how long he was in office. He needs to be impeached, and it needs to be done now. The people have a right to speak up about his stupid and pathetic actions. But no one is doing anything... You know why? He has most of Congress backing him up, the Dems are just going to overturn any possible attempt and impeachment, the anti-racist organizations like the NAACP are going to ride/sue your ass just because you want to impeach a black president. And to quote myself a few years ago, "I think the NAACP have too much power and need to step it down." I said that a while back in school, and not surprisingly, some people agreed with me. Whew.. long post, but meh... far as I'm concerned, Obama needs to go and be replaced with someone who will at least do some job rather than doing a half-ass job.

I'm not one to revive dead topics, but I have a "working" link now, from the PM I got which still had a slightly incorrect link still. I had a look at it, and I don't recognize the person at all, so I can't be of any help.

It was such a bore that I would of been better off just waiting for the DVD rather than seeing it in the theater. It's mainly because of my mom wanting to get them, not so much myself.

I've watched this one a while ago by myself, and in honesty, I think this movie was the worst of all the films so far. No, I don't read the books. The only one I've read was the first one, and that was some years ago when I did that. I don't necessarily have time to read any book right now, or maybe I would spend 2-3 months reading a single book. -_- (when I read, I don't like reading more than 2-3 hours, hurts my hands) But anyway, I found this one a pretty big disappointment. There was hardly anything I liked about this movie. Nothing, at all. It was a waste of $7 for me. >.> I'll probably still buy the DVD when it does come out, but I wish I hadn't seen it in the theater.

Just like my deal with Maple Story, though not quite to the extent of hacking (since I never saw any of it), I lost interest in RuneScape very, very quick when I played it. I mostly focused on magic, as I never have been a melee person, and archery wasn't me. I don't like anything that relies fully on Java just to run. I block most forms of java and javascript from being run on my computer to prevent external scripts and all that, and I'm half tempted to outright block RuneScape from being accessed. For me, it really has gone to a sort of "RuneCrap" feeling, because I don't see how graphics can improve very much than it already has. Graphics were crap back then, graphics still crap now. No, I don't play video intensive games that require nVidia 9x00's or ATI 4x00 series. I personally think that games these days have gone for more graphic-power than actual playability and story-wise gaming. Which is why I'm getting to a point where I'm an old-school gamer.

For a more constructive reply.. I used to play it way back when. But I left after a few scuffles with Nexon and their crap as well as the rampant hacking back then not being taken care of like it should have been. It was so bad that I couldn't level at all... Plus, the fact that it got boring after a while because leveling for me was slowing down so bad that it would take me a month just to level. So I gave it up, entirely, never to return...

For me, pretty hard to see who the person is if I can't even see the picture in the first place. Link doesn't seem to work.

Hm, I read this on ANN to see what it might be about, but I haven't seen it yet. I just got Exiled-Destiny's release of it, so I'm gonna check it out whenever I get around to it. Got some other stuff to watch first. XP Hopefully it'll peak my interests. Some anime lately haven't been doing that.

Personally speaking, I own an HP laptop right now.. and I've not had a pleasant experience with their support. Fair note, I hate Vista with a passion, I also don't like Windows 7 either, so I have no plans on "downgrading" to Vista anytime soon, or Windows 7 (even though it's a step up from Vista). I wanted to "upgrade" to XP since my laptop came with Vista, but HP wouldn't give me the XP drivers, and at the time, I didn't quite know where to search for any. So.. I ditched Vista in a hurry and installed Linux on it. (specifically, Linux Mint) Since then, my laptop has been happily for over a year running Linux, no problems or anything. So, from my experience, no go with HP. Acer, just no.. NO.... don't bother. Toshiba I've heard is a pretty good brand. Might be a little up in the price probably, but I do somewhat regret that I didn't go with a Toshiba compared to HP. -_- Oh well, my loss.

The movie was awesome indeed. BTW, has anyone noticed at how pervy the second one is compared to the first? o.o Some scenes made me go wtf. XD Especially this one with Devastator.. *whistles* Anyway, I didn't really like Meagan Fox, probably why I never focused on her at all. Hell, the two twin autobots were freakin' hilarious with their random comments. XP I also noticed that they were quite mouthy too. Also, if anyone noticed that at the end of the first, Bumblebee got his voice back, but in the second, he doesn't? I'm curious as to what happened from the first, to the point of the second. I'm still very curious on that...

Decepticon, my favorite being Barricade in the movie. Megatron is his own sort of plane mode, Starscream is an F-22 Raptor I think, don't quite remember. Bonecrusher, Black Out, and Devastator are all some sort of military vehicle. Barricade, of course, is a cop car.

Hm, I got this myself a few times. But I switched characters last night when it happened and it worked on my other character. Go figure. o.O

From the depths of the shadows comes our guild, ShadowHime. We're not a guild specifically for WoE or GvG or anything like that. Maybe we will every once in a while, but it's not necessarily the focus, so equips aren't too much of a concern. (Would be preferred if you could get Forsaken Elite equips whenever possible. =P Of course, we'll help out whenever we can and online.) We are friendly, so we'll definitely help anyone who needs to get items for quests or anything of that nature. If needed, we can also help you level new characters, or if you need help in general, we can do our best to help you out. My friend has a merchant, an Assassin Cross, and a Gunslinger, while I myself have a High Wizard, Assassin Cross, and a High Priest. My friend (who mains on Kiisei right now) can help with his gunslinger, while myself, I can help with either on my Assassin Cross or my High Wizard (Teletha and Sciora respectively). As for recruiting, we're looking for whoever wants to join. We'll also be hunting MVP's on occasions to either sell their cards, or to help others for their Forsaken Elite equipment. Hopefully there will be some interest here.

Since I'm wanting to do the Forsaken Elite quest, I decided to get a good start by getting some of the items out of the way such as the Hydra cards and Apples, so I can get the most out of the way first before going after the MVP, however... I ran into a snag.. Most know how much health that MVP's have compared to normal monsters, and my Assassin Cross (for getting the Osiris card) isn't helping much.. I know an estimate price on how much it is, but I don't know if I really want to spend ~200-500 mil zenny for one card at the moment. Considering that it takes me a considerable amount of time to gather up Stone of Sages to sell and farm them.. (unless there are better ways maybe..) So.. I'm wondering if it's possible some could help me out here maybe. I have a friend who's lazy, so he's out of the picture for trying to help me. >.< Either that, I guess all I will be doing is farming sages, since I can't defeat Osiris by myself or anything...

Well, a friend of mine and I started out own guild not long ago (but then I had to remake it due to a database corruption) and we're pretty good people. I don't personally care what kind of equips you have really, and I don't think my friend does either. We're still small (I'm just playing whenever at the moment, since it's more fun to play with friends doing stuff XD) at the moment, and I haven't considered getting a forum here yet or anything. But yeah, if you're interested still (or if you haven't found a guild yet), drop me a PM and we'll talk some about it. I also have a High Wizard actually, but I'm on my Assassin Cross mostly since it's hard to train a High Wizard sometimes. -_-

No, Whitefish was asking what manufacturer your graphics card is, or if it's integrated, get one a video card. =P Example, this is mine: ATI Radeon HD3870 512MB GDDR4 VRAM. Though, by the looks of it, your computer might be fairly old, so one option would be to tone down some of the graphic settings in the game probably.

This is quite a request since I'm not looking for avatars, or signatures, or anything like that. What I'm actually looking for is someone talented enough, and enjoys drawing/coloring pictures and such. I do a bit of fan fiction writing and such, but they're mainly original stories, and I make quite a few characters for them and all that. You see... one of my good friends told me she's no longer going to draw anymore, and no matter what I said, she ain't doing it. *sigh* Oh well, now onward to search for someone who wouldn't mind. -_- Problem is, it's really hard to find someone who enjoys art as much as I do (I can't draw really, or I wouldn't be asking this because I have an issue with my wrist) who wouldn't mind doing artwork for me. It is quite a task, and I never rush things like that. (I'm still trying to make profiles for 4 characters I haven't really begun for like 5 months XD) It is possible I can provide a sort of 'template' for a pose or an idea of what position he/she may be in. Kinda varies per character since they all have their personalities and such. I can provide a link, but at the moment, will only send in PM right now to where my current set of characters are (most having pictures, but my latest ones (dating 8 months ago technically.. for some....) will not have pictures to them) held. Hopefully someone wouldn't mind helping me out, but if not, quite understandable. It is quite a big task to do, and not many will even consider it or something.

Agreed, a reorganization is in hand for the main town. I think the merchant room with all the shops in it could use some better organization as well. It's quite disorganized the way it is, so I think a bigger building and maybe some signs or something saying what each shop is rather than having to hover your mouse over the NPC to figure out who is who.

Obvious I like cats doesn't it? =P Well anyway, I'm very new to Ragnarok Online, so I've got a LOT of stuff to learn, lots of research to do and all that. I personally hate point and click adventures, but of course, there is that one that sticks out from the rest. Friend of mine dragged me into playing it, so here I am, might as well make some use out of my free-time. XD Hopefully I'll make some good friends here rather than some assholes I keep finding that kill me for no reason. -_- (I hate it when that happens when I'm training -____-;)

Nintendo DSi Xbox 360 Nintendo Wii Nintendo Wii Nintendo DSi Nintendo Wii PSP or Playstation 3 (played neither to be honest.. so I dunno) Xbox 360 I don't really have much of an opinion. I'm not a hardcore gamer, I don't own a 360 or a PS3, or a PSP for that matter. There are hardly any games that I'd play that even warrant me to consider buying any other system besides Nintendo systems, like the DS or the Wii. I only have a vague opinion on the 360, despite my hatred for Microshaft, because a friend of mine owns one and I play it every now and then. It's alright for a system, but eh... I wouldn't buy it anyway.
