I r teh rat! Wow...that is quite true. These things are bullshit though.

Well his genocide was basically all through with by the time the UN got big enough to do anything. I was referring more to Pol Pot and the Rwanda genocide. Ah I see. Well for historical reference. Stalin's genocide was much higher then Hitler's. Stalin's secert police is mostly to blame. And Stalin's failed agriculture plan. Forgot the name of it but he made all the farmers move onto government farms and they were given crap amount of crappy land to farm on. That caused atleast 10 million deaths due to starvation. Yea, but Rwanda was MUCH more of a tragedy. The Blue Helmet's (the U.N.) actions were "Ok. It will fix itself SOMEtime or another... Let's just wait and see..." Disgusting. Anon. And the US government was like "Uh...Rwanda...we have no interests there." That's why Clinton politically had to go into Serbia to remove Slobodan Milosivic so people won't say "He let genocide happen again."

If you go to the News Corp. wesbite (Murdoch's company) it says "Creating and distributing top quality news, sports and entertainment." Hmm...creating the news...like "Wag the Dog".

I couldn't find a decent version of Mature anywhere so I basically quit then. I found one that was about 70% done and I think it was at Riot of the Blood.

Thank you, thank you. /me bows I would like the thank the Academy for this award...wait this isn't the Oscars. crap, I'm hallucinating.

The U.S. did not INVADE iraq, they LIBERATED iraq. The mission was to remove saddam from power and thats what we did, but since we had to use massive force to remove him from power everything got kind of mixed up. So now that everything is mixed up now we have to "REBUILD" iraq, and the dead line is june 30, or so they say. Americans do not want to be in iraq, they want to go home, but it's our duty to clean up out BS that we left behind. The thing is that the iraqies do appreciate the U.S. from liberating them from saddam but hate our guts. WTF?! You dont thank some body and then tell them screw you, but he thats what the whole world does to us anyways. After losing so many men there was nothing to do but torture people t find what we wanted (WOMD) cuz I dont think it's right to risk so much on something and not getting anything in return. If the war was about oil WTF! is gasoline so expensive? You think we like fighting wars but, we dont. If you cant find what your looking for you find somebody else to help you or use them as a means of finding what or who you're looking for. Wow, you really don't know what's going on. Did you think that America was just going to abduct Sadaam, Uday and Qusay, and disband the Baath party and just go "Th-th-th-th-that's all folks!" This administration went into Iraq knowing that they would have to stick around and keep the peace and install a US friendly government. Unfortunately, Rumsfield being the pompus idiot that he is underestimated the amount of troops needed for the operation. He disregarded reports by some members of the Joint Cheifs of Staff (namely Gen. Shinseki) which called for an army presence of ATLEAST 200,000 troops to keep things in order. How did you expect them to keep the peace in the entire country with just 125,000 troops? A strong military presence is needed to make the Iraqis feel safe and to make sure that things run smoothly. That was the first of the problems. Then they underestimated the resistance because they thought the Iraqis would greet them with open arms. Well the Iraqis did, until the army killed thousands of innocent civilians and destroyed their lives, and left the country's infrastructure in ruins. What do you think will happen to the Iraqi citizens when they see that the invading country despite its best efforts to help has actually hurt them more. Still most of the Iraqis are happy that Sadaam is gone and I applaud the US for removing and capturing him. The resistance is a small minority of people who are extremists and terrorists who want to see western powers gone. Remember the Ayatollah Al Sustani? He welcomed the Americans because he liberated the Shiite people. He wanted a moderate government in which the Shiites would have the majority of the power. Ofcourse this is not what America had planned on, but it welcomed the peaceful religious leader. But now you have the Ayatollah Al Sadr who is a radical who wants to install an Islamic state just like Iran. He is the one that has united the Shiite and the Sunni to fight against the western powers because together they don't want to see democracy in the Middle East. And now I go to terrorism. I'm sure the Bush administration knew that going to Iraq would invite terrorists and cause even more problems. And it was relatively simple for them to slip by because the US did not have enough border patrol to keep them out. And most of the terrorism has struck Iraqis more than Americans so the Iraqis want the coalition to leave because they are now targets for these subhuman terrorist bastards. Now how did America get involved in this in the first place? Well a man by the name of Ahmed Chalabi (sp?) told the Bush administration that Sadaam definitely had weapons of mass destruction. The US investigated and found pictures of trailers which ofcourse means that those are mobile weapons labs. And now Ahmed Chalabi is on the Iraqi Governing Council on false pretenses. But why did America even listen to Chalabi and other defectors? Because during the Bush Sr. administration, when Dick Cheney was Secretary of Defense (Rumsfield's job now) he began to create a different view of American foreign policy. His foreign policy is the basis of the neoconservative (neocon) movement. Cheney and Paul Wolfowitz (Deputy Secretary of Defense now) worked on a policy that can easily be described as American Imperialism. It outlined a plan in which America would build up its military and act unilaterally (or small coalitions) if it had to. But this type of aggressive foreign policy did not sit well with Bush Sr. (or other conservatives) so he had to tone it down a bit because he was running for reelection which as you know was a failure (but not really due to Cheney's foreign policy). But that was basically the beginning of a major neocon movement which is what is basically in power now. But according to his plans, this kind of process would take a very long time EXCEPT if another Pearl Harbor type attack happened. Well after Bush Sr. lost the election to good ol' Bill Jefferson Clinton (he's got problems too but its not time to discuss those), Cheney was hired as CEO of Halliburton. Here as CEO, he was able to use his Sec. of Defense contacts to help the business. But since US law prohibits any direct business deals with Iraq, he used subsidieries to do his dirty work. He also got very close to the ruler of Azerbaijan and for those that know, he was quite a tyrannt (he's dead now). And then there are his stock dealings blah blah blah the normal CEO insider trading stuff that they all get away with blah blah. And now he's the vice president (co-president) of the US. Hmm...9/11 served as a perfect reason for him to set his neocon plans that he and Wolfowitz crafted into action. Ofcourse you don't want to think that the vice president of this great country used a horrible tragedy such as 9/11 for political gain, but what else can you make of it? Yes, he is paranoid about national security but there was really no reason to focus the war on terrorism from the real terrorists hiding in Afganistan to Iraq. I'm sure if all the troops in Iraq were sent to Afganistan, Osama and most of al Queda would be caught by now. It wouldn't stop terrorism, but it would really be a kick in its tiny groin. Jesus Christ I just typed a lot!!! I should go to bed...I'm exhausted after driving and all this brain work. But what I'm mainly trying to say is that Iraq as a part on the War on Terrorism just doesn't really make much sense. It's great that Sadaam is gone, but the US should have done A LOT more to make sure its safe for them. That is where the administration failed horribly. And I don't agree with this black and white view "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem" which many Americans have. I mean on the way here some time after Tallahasse, I saw this billboard that said "To help the war on terrorism, get the US out of the UN!" I was like "What the flock!?!?!?!" Are these people serious? Ofcourse the UN has failed sometimes in its main mission (to prevent genocide like Hitler) but it has kept most of the modern world together in peace and harmony (relatively...). Dammit...I need to stop typing.

I should have gotten a new set of parents... And I drove 6 hours of the way so I couldn't really play. I read and slept the rest of the time.

There is no one most reliable news source. You have to get the stories from different people to get a good view of things. That's what I do. From AP to Al Jazeera, I like to know what's going on.

i don`t know, maybe it`s me getting old but i am getting sick and tired of all those VS dreammatch kinda titles I WANT FRESH MEAT some new title or sth, lately there aren`t much titles and there aren`t decent titles it sucks. I totally agree with you. Even though I am extremely psyched about this game, I still can't help but feel like I'm being cheated out of a fresh new game that Capcom could be making instead...blah. I'm exhausted...

Oh man, no nononono. It's not that. It's just the ability to dodge attacks. I misused the term Plane Shift. Atleast from the video I didn't notice any RBFF style plane shifting.

I'll be with my parents the entire time so I'll definitely be fantasizing...it's going to suck so much. I wish some aliens would abduct me. i thought you were already being abducted by an alien Oh man...I'm in my sister's apartment now and that family road trip SUCKED! AAAAH!!! I'm going insane!!

Well in the video the camera moved a bit when a super move was done. There were several instances of that. But it seems that the normal fighting camera is basically in 2D mode, but not exactly. You have to see the video to know what I'm talking about. And as expected in a 3D fighter, you can plane shift in this.

cool. I'm leaving in a few days for arizona. florida is ok, but it can't compare to the south west in my eyes. desert nights rock. Desert days.not so much Haha! Yeah, Miami was a cesspool. I went to A1A and Beachfront Ave. just to see what Vanilla Ice was singing about and it wasn't very special. That part of Florida is filled with many aliens...but not from outer space.

I'll be with my parents the entire time so I'll definitely be fantasizing...it's going to suck so much. I wish some aliens would abduct me. Keep that new DC of yours in mind....fantasize about that and everything will be a breeze. Remember to bring gifts from Florida to all 1Emu members. Physicals gifts prefered Digital ones to like....stuff. Yes, I'll bring back something for all 2845 members! I'll be in Garageink's neighborhood, Davie, Florida.

I never understood how the term Latin America came about. They never spoke Latin... The Italians are the most Latin.

Because unauthorized people are morons and might accidently launch a rocket. or find some whack out extraterrestrial technology and do some testing of their own. Self anal probing?! Hmm...I don't want to meet those kind of people. And on a side note, I will be absent from here for about 5 days so you guys will be able to make merry and actually have a good time without me crashing the party. Cheers!

What he's doing is highly illegal. He's making a crap load of profit off of stuff that people with a minimum amount of initiative can find for free. There are still plenty of free rom sites and then there's DC++, FTPs, and P2P. He's doing something very wrong and 30 bucks a month is steep as hell!

Same here except it says that a donation will give you access to more stuff.

I was watching the video and I saw the name Ryo Sakazaki and noticed different characters in the fight though. I think his name might be a place holder. If you watch the video and pause at every fight bit you'll see what I'm talking about.

Hmm... this thread isn't THAT old... But anyway, I downloaded the video and I must say it looks great. I'm so happy that Rock and Iori are in it too!

You need a dialup account to use dial up. And apparantly Planetweb 3.0 does not allow dial up, just broadband. You need Planetweb 2.6 for that. But to get online with your broadband connection, you need to buy a broadband adapter.
