See my post here. This solves the environmental problem too, IMO.

Stop taxing the shit out of your citizens and they will be much more likely to help each other when they need help.

Homelessness is not a probelm from the government to solve in America II, IMO.

I've always liked the way it's done in Starship Troopers (the excellent book, not that piece-of-shit movie). Anyone who pays taxes is allowed to live here and take advantage of the benefits that taxpayers are allowed to have, regardless of where they came from. If you want to get in, you come in on...

That's easy enough to fix. Make it so that any company that is in trouble, the stockholders become responsible. If company X goes bankrupt, then stockholders have to pay the balance per share. If company X violates laws that lead to a jail sentence being required, then that time is split up amoung ...

IMO, income taxes are the moral equivalent of armed robery and blackmail, and they are the primary cause of the majority of the moral decline of our society.

I don't like 'em.

No Congress, just pure democracy. Someone puts up an item for vote on the official submission forums, and if it gets the support of, say, 1% of the participants in this "floating Congress" then a real vote occurs on the front page of this crazy democratic circus where everyone will see it...

The real key to the unemployment problem is rampant capitalism. Take away all the shitty rules and laws that are needlesly stifling our industries, and unemployment would not be a problem. Finding enough workers and everyone having huge salaries would be the problem. Inflation is ugly, but can be c...

Well, the federal government certainly has acted within the realm of the constitution I strongly disagree with this statement. The thing is, only the federal government is in charge of telling the federal government if it's following the rules or not. That's no good, IMO. If the states were doing m...

I use that Gore thing from time to time, not to show he's an idiot (he isn't, really), but to make fun of the whole thing. I know he didn't meant he "invented" the internet, but his claim is still bullshit. The "internet" was well underway before he was even elected to Congress....

Not just vampires, but Lesbian Vampires! Others have given a detailed review better than I can, so I'll keep it general: bad sound quality, bad video quality, bad editing, bad choreography, bad directing, bad acting, bad story, bad script. I liked it! Here's the real breakdown: 30% trying to be a b...

I'm expecting a Star Wars Pokemon crossover, with a push to sells little plastic Yodas holding pokeballs.

However, why do you say the ending is locked? Considering what else he did in I & II, I can see him redoing the plot and not having it mesh up with IV, if he wants to.

I've got the long-term memory of a fruit fly, so rereading and rewatching things is almost like the first time for me each time. I don't have a library of DVDs, though, cause I couldn't pick which one's to buy. That's the main reason I subscribed to Netflix, that's my DVD library. Someone else keep...

Funny that he (or she?) challenged me to "move past your preconceived notions," but he or she came in here with their own preconceived notions about us. That's pretty much the standard method used by the Militant Left, though: accuse your opponent of doing what you yourself are guilty of,...
