a month on a cosmic scale isn't even a microscopic dot.
In the cosmic scale it's not even close to important that you wait nearly a month for something, even in the average lifespan you posess, it's not even that much of a wait.

Awwww, it thinks it's being deep and meaningful.

It?
I think you're just trying to find things to insult me on because you're mad about a game not beling released for a few weeks. Cry more, it's not that long of a wait.

No, fuck government aid, I don't need their help to live my life. And yes, a lot of people I know that get wellfare checks live better than I do.
Unlike them I'm willing to work for a living and have a work ethic.

It is no longer the case that you just don't know what you are talking about. You are just making shit up now.

"hey guys, this guy is poor and actually not willing to want to mooch off the government, oh shit really? yeah, well obviously we should deny that it's even true, I mean poor people NEED our help, they can't get out of being poor on their own, no, we HAVE to do it for them."

Seriously, I don't think you get it. I don't want to be poor, but I don't want to use other people's money that I didn't earn to get out of poverty.

I mean would you rather take everyone's money and put it in a big pot, then equaly devide that pot out to everyone?
Guess how well that worked for Soviet-era Russia, oh yeah, not well.
Oh and guess where in a few weeks people would be again, WHERE THEY WERE BEFORE! You know why? because some people are better at making and saving money than others. Plus have you ever figured that the rich were rich because they have multi-billion $ corperations.
You know what the business expense is on a multi-billion dollar corperation? A FUCKING LOT. Honestly, taxing people MORE isn't going to help me get OUT of poverty like you want, hell if you don't make taxes really fucking high so I can afford the cost of living without the government having to give me money to do so.
It's pointless to take my money than give me money because I'm poor, I'm poor because you took half of it before asshole.
If you paid taxes you'd understand how shitty they are, out of my last paycheck I lost about 150$ to taxes, that pays most of the electric bill.

THE RICH ARE THOSE WHO CREATE JOBS!

The actual numbers prove you wrong. When the wealthy get money, they spend some of it and save some of it. When the poor and middle class get money, the spend far more of it and save less.

Saved money in this case helps noone- the whole problem is that less money is moving.

We have been following the policy of Reganomics for the past decade. Has the wealth "trickled down" to you yet?

If you insist on repeating what you hear on Fox- which has abandoned all pretence and is now nothing more than a blatant propaganda network- then I'd like to ask you to please leave this discussion until you are willing to debate like an adult.
Where the fuck did I say I watch fox news?
Beyond that, them saving money makes them smart, I think you're just mad that you don't have any saved.
I save a good part of my paycheck when I can because it's a smart thing to do, I'm not going to place more luxury into my life for the cost of my entire paycheck, I like having money saved to protect my family in the event of shit hitting the fan, without having saved money I couldn't have saved my dog's life this week. I fail to see how you can say that all poor people spend all their money, maybe if you didn't ask all those who try to live like white trash millionares and dead beat drunks for how much they spend, you'd get a nice little answer.

Beyond that I'm sure those of us that don't have jobs are too high and mighty to get one, honestly I walked into a movie theatre to get a job application yesterday, they had one two people working and were desperatly looking for help. Well if we're having such a problem with no one having jobs, WHY is that movie theatre so understaffed? The great part about Illegal immigrants or any immigrant, they arn't as snobby and high and mighty as half of the natural born citizens are, I've never met one who's not willing to work or is too good for a job, they understand how hard it is to get a job and how much a job means.
Maybe if the rest of the U.S had that mindset they wouldn't have no job or need wellfare checks. Personaly I think that Fox and any other network that bitches about immigrants are just jealous that they're willing to work unlike their following bitchy media brain-washed cultist followers.

I should hope so, that was one century ago. I'll ask a simple question : Do YOU have a car, two TV, a big house , and one playstation? If so, are you entitled to a governmental help program?

Fuck no, I live is a small house, I have one older first gen xbox 360's I bought my self with my job, my family have two cars, both from before 2000, ONE tv, not even a big one.
I also help pay bills. I live not even close to what is considered poverty in America, and I still feel my life is luxurious.

So don't you wonder where those poor live? Because If you listen to them it seems like , given your family low income, surely they should be entitled to some government aid. Yet they don't.

And I take it you're not the worst off the people you know. Do you know anyone who really live comfortably off government aid? (Without doing anything illegal, that's another problem)

No, fuck government aid, I don't need their help to live my life. And yes, a lot of people I know that get wellfare checks live better than I do.
Unlike them I'm willing to work for a living and have a work ethic.

What people with the "tax the fuck out of the rich, tax corperate jets and all this other rich people stuff" state of mind don't get.
THE RICH ARE THOSE WHO CREATE JOBS!
That corperate jet?
Builders
Designers
Flyers
Stewardouses
Airport workers (the air traffic control, runway guys, luggage people, etc...)
The people who make the fuel
The people that build the hangers for christ sake

Hell, if you tax the rich more, they can't pay their workers as much, same with government health care that taxes the company for not giving it to their workers, you take away from the business, you take away from those poor people that work for a living like I do.

I'm trying to create a solar sail using the parachute however it's not working too well.
*facepalm*

I'm not sure I see what you mean, I'm modding the files to create a solar sail.
So far it won't open at the set altitude of 20 thousand meters and instead it fails to open at all, I did however, get it to provide thrust when I had it opening at 5 thousand meters, but it wasn't enough to break gravitational pull, even with just the command pod.

What's a few days to a week worth of time?
Impatient much?
Time is the lifeblood of the universe.
Delaying a game because of shitty DRM which will do nothing but make piracy more desirable is the worst kind of delaying.

a month on a cosmic scale isn't even a microscopic dot.

If you make the leap to small things, it's pretty large when you compare it to making a sandwich, but it's still not that long.

It wouldn't be that bad once the radiation died off, the ONLY problem would be if we had enough nuclear material from a lot of weapons that blew around and fucked shit up, but life would still survive no matter what so it wouldn't be that bad.
Personaly I'd welcome a nuclear conflict to help cull the polulation of idiots, my hopes are that they attack new jersey and DC first.

Oh and a side note, people in my state are apparently exposed to undoubtedly high backround radiation, probably the highest in the country just because of how high up we are and how much uranium we have in this state.
If anything all it does is build a little character and resistance to radiation, no one has ever died from it that I know of anyway, and we have a fairly low cancer rate last I checked, the largest being skin cancer because we're "the wild wild west" and
a lot of jobs involve labour in the day's heat and sun, but I still only know one person out of all the old people I know who have skin cancer, and they got it from living in california for 50 years.

I'm being verbaly assaulted and mocked for trying to save the life of my family member, I think I have a clear and valid reason to retaliate to grakelin's statement.
I'm also under extreme stress of the fact I just had to take out a loan that will take me easily a year to pay back if not longer, WITHOUT living expenses, which I have plenty of, so I'm kind of stressing about that as this operation has a slim chance of working even still and
I don't want to lose my dog. Someone's going to step up now and say that's stupid and crazy but I'd like to see them be ok with watching their best friend die in their arms and do nothing about it.

Glad to hear she's okay, I lost my dog last year and sympathize. As for Grakelin, I believe that was an example of what other people might do, not what he thought you were doing.
I hope so because I thought I knew him better than that to make such an asshole statement.

If I was looking at a bunch of soviet (or Chinese) missiles coming my country's way, I'd damn well retaliate.
Then I present to you the question: Why? Why would you ensure the destruction of others because your destruction is ensured? You might manage to kill the people in China who ordered the strike (although that's acutally less likely, given that they would have a bunker), but you'd certainly kill more people innocent of ordering any nuclear strikes against the USA.
Look at it from their point of view, If we try to destroy them, they're going to send all their missiles our way to destroy us, so why would we launch a missile at them?

You don't need to raise taxes to run the country, it doesn't take trillions of $ to run the country.
Hell maybe if you stuck to the way the country was supposed to be ran we wouldn't have such a large looming federal government that required trillions to run?
HMM?
Oh wait, what's that you say? oh wait, less than 60% of the country pays taxes, hows about instead you make people pay taxes instead of raise them.
Maybe you should stop giving everyone and their mother a wellfare check for just being here? I don't know, maybe use those things for people that NEED it?

What I'm saying is, it's not republicans or democrats that caused this, it's the entire country through the years that has fucked us this far, the U.S business model is like 80 years old, try fixing that instead as well.

The hell you can. The majority of that 60% can barely afford to survive and many can't even do that. The median income of 40 something thousand is propped up by the top 400 who own half of all wealth. If you remove the top and bottom 1%, the average us income is dangerously close to the cost of living. You are talking about taxes that will kill people. Thousands are already dieing because they choose not to seek medical care that they can not afford.

The us is embroiled in class warfare, and the top 1% are already winning. Leaching off the backs of indebted labor and crushing the poor into oblivion.  You sir are a feudalist advocating a return to the dark ages and the end of enlightened civilization.

Do you even know how poverty is defined in the U.S.
It includes cars and airconditioners, seriously, CARS? That's not even a need, it's a luxury of transport.

 the word “poverty” suggests destitution: an inability to provide a family with nutritious food, clothing, and reasonable shelter.

 the typical household defined as poor by the government had a car and air conditioning. For entertainment, the household had two color televisions, cable or satellite TV, a DVD player, and a VCR. If there were children, especially boys, in the home, the family had a game system, such as an Xbox or a PlayStation.[4]
In the kitchen, the household had a refrigerator, an oven and stove, and a microwave. Other household conveniences included a clothes washer, clothes dryer, ceiling fans, a cordless phone, and a coffee maker.

The home of the typical poor family was not overcrowded and was in good repair. In fact, the typical poor American had more living space than the average European. The typical poor American family was also able to obtain medical care when needed. By its own report, the typical family was not hungry and had sufficient funds during the past year to meet all essential needs.


This is taken from the Heritage Foundation website and confirmed with a few others by quick skimming.
Honestly the poor are living nicer than the richest people in the 1920's, which is the most prosperous time in U.S history.

Guys, my chinchilla is very ill, can you all forward me some money? My goal is to get to $139.00 to pay for medical bills. Here is a picture of something else $139.00 can buy, so you know exactly how much I need.
That's just fucking rude. I hate you so much now, and I didn't before, I actually liked you as one of the old members of baystation12.
Anyway, the vet called and said she's going to hopefully pull through and she's going to stay the night at the vets office.
