So normally these are best told in person in rapid succession as they aren't funny but build well. How do you get an elephant into a VW Beetle? How do you get two elephants into a VW Beetle? How do you get five elephants into a VW Beetle? How can you tell if there's an elephant in your fridge? How can you tell if there's two elephants in your fridge? How can you tell if there's five elephants in your fridge? How many Tarzan's can you fit in a fridge? Why did the elephant fall out of the tree? Why did the second elephant fall out of the tree? Why did the third elephant fall out of the tree? Why do ducks have flat feet? Why do elephants have flat feet?

Yeah, I'm more opposed to the health care bill because I think it makes medical care more expensive, it costs way too much and it's going to have a negative effect on the actual quality of care and the economy. I also find it amusing that judicial review is not an explicit power granted by the constitution but no court is ever going to rule that it does not have power to rule that it's unconstitutional to rule something unconstitutional.

Excessive, early and excessively early DLC
Yantelope V2 replied to peteer01's topic in General Gaming Chat
The other big sticking point here for me is the $60 price point. I usually buy games for $20. I have actually bought more DLC off steam than anything else because they're in the habit of heavily discounting DLC when games are older and selling a big package so that you can get the "complete" game for usually around $12-20. I just did that with Civ V. If DLC is ever to catch on with the majority of gamers instead of being a niche product they're going to have to get much better about adjusting the pricing in order with the game's retail pricing. ME2 is a perfect example of this right now. I'm not going to spend $20 on the game and another $50 on DLC. How many people who buy SSFIV now are going to pay an extra $20 for more costumes when the full game was only $20? -
Two atoms walked into a bar. one says "Hey I lost an electron" "are you sure?" "yes, I'm positive!" Nerdiest joke I ever laughed at. I felt so guilty for laughing at it too. A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel in his pants. The bartender says "doesn't that bother you?" "arrr, it's driving me nuts!"

I think he's trying to make the point that there are plenty of government programs that have been created without any kind of constitutional basis. Yes, it's a legal argument and no it doesn't speak to whether or not that program is "good" or "bad" but it should be the basis for any discussion on a new program. Is the program even constitutional? If not then it shouldn't even exist legally unless you want to amend the constitution. That's the big argument over the health care law right now.

Like how Sonic Colors was good?

Reminds me of the one where Bart discovered the comet. Principal Skinner: Bart, turn out your pockets. Lets see, blue prints of the balloon. Notarized photos of you making the balloon. Alternative name of the balloon "Buttzilla". And then when Skinner finally catches the ballon: I've got you now my rumpy doppelganger!
-
Yeah, it's a bit like that. Not quite as annoying though.

Excessive, early and excessively early DLC

So there's a good question. Is it truly pirating if you're only unlocking content that's on the disc? I know the DMCA would say it's wrong to bypass DRM measures but it's DRM on a disc you bought. Just wondering. In my book, I'd almost say go for it. If it's on the disc you bought it's yours. I hate the idea of companies trying to retain ownership of something they've sold me. -
I'm about 13 hours into it (according to Raptr) and I feel like all I've done is build up my guilds. I like that stuff but it seems like there's a bit too much of it now. It's almost down to the micromanaging level and I don't really like how your cities get attacked again. I prefer a more completionist type of game where you just do all the side missions and it's done.
-
I liked that crossover episode too. Especially when Bart says something like "I love your show... ewwww I feel so dirty".
-
But you still have to play a new Sonic game..
-
Haha, I love that part. Homer: Where'd you get the sugar for that tea? Englishman: I knicked it when you let your guard down! I also love the quote "It's sugar Marge! White gold!" Also, this: Go Banana! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhX0-Q6Yv5U&feature=results_video&playnext=1&list=PL61950DC1D48CB402

So about 10 hours into AC:R and I finally have all locations locked down. Maybe time to start the actual story?

I have some friends that live on a street named "Stradivarius" and every time I go see them I say "Stradi-who-vious? JUNK!"

Yes, there need to be cuts around the board. Any reasonable conservative should agree that there is plenty of waste in the military budget. I'm not an expert to say what cuts should be made but yes, there is a lot of waste in the military just like every other operation the government runs.
-
Pretty sure that's the basis of why we celebrate most holidays in America. Yep, same reason we celebrate Cinco De Mayo.
-
That's actually one of the most touching moments in the series (which I guess isn't saying much). As far as quotes go, well there's a few that me and my friends always go back to. Dental plan... Lisa needs braces... Would you say it's time for people to start cracking each other's skulls open and feast on "the goo inside?" Why yes Kent, I would Awww, Ape Island... I wish we were going to candy apple island. What do they have there? Apes, but they're not so big. Be careful, it's snow picnic out there. I snow what you mean ha ha, You're dead weight Marty.
-
No, the best part of that episode is "I'll see you in hell candy boys!" I also like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NK-gUXl7usc I'd also like to say that the lack of Simpsons clips on youtube is one of the great failings of the internets. Darn you Fox!

Well, it seems to me that right now the Democrats wish to go on spending more and the Republicans are campaign to spend less so if you ask how that affects me then I'm inclined to vote for someone who will cut spending.
-
It seems to me that democrats more than republicans want to expand spending as much as possible. The exception to this is the military which Republicans always seem to want to expand. I think there is waste in all branches of the government including the military. The problem is that so many republicans have bought into wasteful spending on education, welfare, medicare, dept. of energy, those sorts of things. Yes, you're right, the parties today are more similar than they used to be. Reagan ran on a campaign of eliminating the dept. of energy and the dept. of education and was unable to kill either one. Most of these big expensive departments have been set up by democrats though as I recall. Carter for one started the DOE I believe.
-
Just because we're republicans doesn't mean we we are only mad at democrats over spending. There were plenty of people, myself included, who were not happy with the spending that the republicans did in the 2000's. G.W. Bush was not a fiscal conservative.

Everytime I hear about another one of Obama's programs I think of this. http://www.theonion.com/video/in-the-know-should-the-government-stop-dumping-mon,14289/

Yes, your numbers are sound. I'm arguing that just because that person can live fine on more money doesn't make it okay to take a larger percentage of their money. In my book "because they can afford it" doesn't make it an okay reason to make one person fork over a larger % of their income than the guy next to him. The whole reason for a % tax is just that, everyone is paying an identical level of money in relation to what they make. The only argument I can see you making is that there is some baseline of acceptable living and everything above that is luxury. 60k is enough to buy a house and two cars and live well but 100k is 40k more than that and they can be spending it on whatever they want! The only point I'm trying to make is that while it seems an extra 40k of money is enough to buy you another house and double your wealth expenses don't really scale like that. Ask anyone who has a family. As life goes you tend to make more money but you never seem to build up a ton of money in the bank mostly because as the typical family grows its expenses grow. If I am single making 60k I would have way more spending money than if I am married and have two kids and make 80k. I used to think in college that if I made 60k I'd be super comfortable and have nothing to worry about money wise but now that I have a mortgage and two cars (both used, one paid off) and my second kid on the way I can tell you that expenses compond as you get older and try and build your wealth so if my tax burden were to double as my wealth had grown steadily it would definitely hurt me.

That's a bit of a stereotype. There are plenty of farmers or even farming corporations that do pretty darn good for themselves. Yes, you need government regulation to make sure that there is a chance for people to advance in the world. I think sometimes conservatives forget this. I do however think there is plenty of room for people in america to work hard and get ahead. I studied engineering and make decent money doing it. Would I have bothered to go through all that schooling if I could have made just as much money by working at gamestop? No, I would not. It was the incentive of money that made me go do engineering and it's because so few other people can't or wont bother to be engineers that I make good money for doing it. Would you have bothered to go through all the extra years of law school and the bar exam and all of that if you weren't going to be compensated for all of it? I doubt it. It's not a choice if you take it from them before they can spend it.
