P&C Code of Conduct

Shawn "Certis" Andrich - Mon, 03/10/2008 - 8:40pm

Before we get started on the rules I want to make one thing very clear. This is the least visited area of the forums and the most work to moderate, if people can't be civil they will be removed. If things get out of hand we'll just lock the section up. Gamerswithjobs.com is a hobby that Elysium and I pursue in our spare time for fun and we don't consider separating squabbling children a very enjoyable experience.

Read the rules, know the rules and follow them.

Politicians rarely talk about what real people experience: the true maze of taxes and government benefits. If someone put them all together, we could see what our actual tax burden was. We could see who pays at the highest or lowest rates. Discussions of tax policy wouldn't be a waste of time.

Well, two researchers did it.

AP announces another oil rig has expoded in the Gulf of Mexico

The rig is located off the coast of LA. Details are still scarce but the Coast Guard is sending vessels to investigate. Not a good year for offshore drilling it would seem.

For starters, they hate US cheerleaders and they think the First Lady of France is a "prostitute" and should be "executed." You know, maybe if they admitted once and a while that they whip it out and fire off a couple knuckle children, they wouldn't be so pissy about things like this.

What do American voters expect republicans to do differently?

I know many people are dissatisfied with democrats because of the state of the economy. That's expected. But I'm wondering what it is beyond a kneejerk "I'm voting for the other guys" reason that people expect to see from the republican party on economic issues.

So we're the weird ones....

Dumb Things Americans Believe

Apparently, one in five think the sun revolves around the Earth, and about the same ratio believe in witchcraft. Depressing much?
