Question: If Bush leaves office with Iraq in mess
Highland replied to NoCalMike's topic in Current Events
At first it would be his successors who "righted the sinking ship" but in time (decades) Bush would get his proper due, both good and ill. -
The animated version sucked ass.

I like the old site better, actually....there's more in it.

I have the Logitech Wingman Rumblepad, it's nice but the buttons are poor quality and tend to stick so was hoping there's something similar, but better. I might go the psx/usb route.

Like the title says, I'm looking for a control pad, perferably one like a console style. Any one have any recommendations?
-
Thanks guys.

I can't stand three of them at any time, and only Vince in small, important doses. I much prefer when he acts as the impartial chairman, interested in his company as a whole even when kayfabing.

120 DOP = 2.65 USD This sounds a tad more reasonable, I'd say.

SF adopts "Care Not Cash" welfare reduction
Highland replied to Jobber of the Week's topic in Current Events
Keep in mind $59 is the low end. Ah, I thought it was an average or flat rate. While I tihink $60 per month is ridiculously low, that $400 dollar a month figure just boggles my mind. I could live off of that, and I'm certainly not homeless. -

Highland replied to Jobber of the Week's topic in Current Events
No, it's a poorly thought out system. Even if you have free housing, you cannot live off of $59 a month, unless you enjoy a diet consisting only of ramen noodles. -
I believe the wording is cruel and unusual, so it can be either, but not both.

Stick a gun in their hands. Put them in the frontlines. The enemies will fire at them regardless. They can either fight or serve as a shield for other soldiers. -=Mike I hope you get drafted. And I'm SUPPOSED to care, right? -=Mike You replied, so evidently you do. I'm not the one supporting a (albeit rumoured) bill supporting the reinstatement of the draft as is evidenced by your human shields/cannon fodder comment.

I don't think it would matter what people thought of the war in Iraq or on terrorism; they're not going to support the draft. Naturally, the pro-drafters will question the patriotism of those opposed to conscription. I think I first heard this about a year ago, and I thought it was a rumour then, I still think so now.

This reminds me of that 101st air regiment that was dispanded for torturing Somali's and hazing their own members. Of course, I doubt the regiment or whatever grouping these people are in will be disbanded.

Over here, insurance premiums are significantly higher and insurance companies are making a killing. Also, user fees are through the roof and the banks are making obscene profits.

Orton should be beating the everlasting shit out of Foley simply on the fact that Orton is an active wrestler and Foley is retired. I'll never understand this stupidity by wwe of having retired, washed up has-beens like SCSA, Foley and, face it, the Rock beating up on those that are far more active. It makes it seem as if the current and up and coming generation of wrestlers is no where near as good as the "old guard".

There's very little the Bush administration has done right: Taking down Saddam's regime was one of them. Now let's see if they can find that other guy--bin Laden?--before November.

Canada won't extradict anyone it suspects will be subject to the death penalty in their home country, and I highly doubt they qualify as refugees. Christ, Mike, if you're gonna bitch about us, then throw something useful at us, like the Liberal government's decision to allow the Khandir's (sp?)back into this country.

-shrug- I suppose it could act as a counterbalance to some of the recent policy-making decisions of the SC. Then again, maybe not.
