I've been saying for 20 years someone needed to make a networked game where the team piloted a B17 bomber. Side gunners, tail gunner, pilot, bomber...


Airwarrior and Warbirds did it already. It was pretty fun

*Africa

hey umm.. this guy is from New Jersey. Is the "Asia" tag just because of his race? If so, are we going to put "Europe" and "Africa" tags on any videos featuring white and black people?? o_O

According to his biography by Michael Eric Dyson, ML King considered himself a Marxist, but not a Communist. He is usually described as a democratic socialist. He believed the US was on the wrong side of the Vietnam war and that the US should've been on the side of the North Vietnamese. He did think there should be radical wealth distribution in the US.

that banana shaped building looks just like the Homeworld video game's mother ship!

California and New York are Democrat states, Texas is a Republican one. So there is little reason for the presidential candidates to visit them when they are basically locked up. I don't think it has to do with the electoral college so much as that...

I don't get it. How can the money just disappear in the housing market? Houses were built by housing construction companies. Those companies were paid by the banks at some point. 10 years ago, 20, or 50 years ago. The banks then lend the house to a borrower through a 30 year mortgage. Banks buy and sell houses in a cycle. Housing price bubble grows and grows over years, and pops. Home values plummet. How did the system as a whole lose any money because of its popping though? I can see how the banks got burned badly, which in turn burned home buyers. But how does this hurt one of the first actors, the housing construction companies or the home sellers who filled up the bank's home inventories?

Did the banks buy too many houses for too high a price from the construction companies? If so, then isn't the money with the housing companies or whoever previously owned these homes?

For example, before the Recession, my grandma owned a house worth at least $700,000 in San Francisco. Let's say she had sold the house to the bank for $700k, then the bank tries to sell the house for $1.4 million over 30 years (including 5.25% interest).. but isn't able to find anyone willing to buy at that price. Before they realized this, they buy a LOT of houses from people like my grandma (who may as well be a housing construction company), all for $700k. They have no one to sell to and have to lower the prices of their home inventories. Now they realize they've made a huge error buying all these $700k homes when they should've bought them for $500k (which is what my grandma's house is worth about now). So what's the big deal? The $700k is in my grandma's account, no? So how did the overall system lose any money? My grandma has to spend that money or give it to someone eventually, so it's not like it just vanished into the air.

Winstonfield, what you're saying about MLK's tactics is simply wrong. Read MLK's biography by Eric Dyson. MLK wanted to use non-violent "industrial sabotage" to clog up industries and highways in Washington DC, to bring things to a halt until democratic socialist reforms were put into place. He wanted to do this by clogging places up with people so that even "innocent bystanders," as you put it, would have no choice but take notice.

Also I believe MLK supported "sit ins" where black people came in and sat in white-only restaurants, filling them up with black customers. This drove away white customers from stores, and I'm sure owners were annoyed that they were losing so much business to this tactic. Plus, at the time, I'm pretty sure white owners had the legal right to only serve white customers, thus the private property rights of white owners were being violated by MLK's black supporters.

If you disagree with the Occupy Wall Street end goal, OK that's fine. But don't criticize the tactics in the belief that MLK Jr. was not a supporter of the tactics here, because he used them himself.

dgandhi, but how much of those "gifts" of the government, created in the past, were already paid for entirely by past generations of Americans? Is DARPA's creation of the Internet still on some kind of 50 year monthly payment setup? I don't think so. Perhaps the government needs money to upkeep the Internet. But I doubt they need as much as they are getting now.

The things we enjoy using in this world are produced by the billions of people who inhabit it. Should everyone be taxing everyone? No, we buy their things and that's that.

I agree with a lot of what blankfist is saying. It's time to starve the Federal government of its funds. Enough of its actions are immoral and evil, and I don't like having even a cent of my money furthering these actions.

I like Kucinich and Ron Paul too. Kucinich because if we are going to be taxed heavily by the government, the money should be spent well and in morally correct ways. But he's not running for President anymore and even if he was, most of what he supports would not get passed by Congress. So it's pointless to keep funding the Feds and hope that a Kucinich will some day become President and that hundreds of Kucinichs will some day take over Congress too.

So Ron Paul is all that's left, even though there's quite a bit of crazy stuff connected to him. At least with Paul's ideology, I can choose to support different causes with my money, and I can stop giving money to causes that start acting evil or immoral.

I don't think it's right to force people to help each other. If we are saying that we need to put a gun to the heads of the rich and force them to help the poor, sick, and elderly, that seems wrong to me. And that's what a lot of people seem to want. They want to use the force of law, backed by the threats of punishment and violence, to force rich people to help other people.

When I was in high school in 1999, I read a book on the Rwandan genocide of 1994 and how the world ignored the Genocide Convention of 1948, which required them to act when genocide occurs in the world. I was pretty pissed off that 400,000-1.2 million people were killed in Rwanda for genocidal reasons, and everyone ignored the Convention and did little about the genocide. But looking back, I don't think anyone should've signed the Genocide Convention. You shouldn't force people to help someone or some other country. It's wrong.

The guy who plays "Vagabond" in these games is also one of the scientist guys in LOST

$150k a year is upper class to me, especially if it's an individual's income. I think the video meant to say it's household income.

Because the $30,000 a year for the black area would be pretty decent for an individual. It sucks for a household though.

Also a recent CNN article said that white households have ten times net worth than black households.

Nearly conquered the world? I'm sorry, but the world isn't Europe!

Gross, guess I won't be eating shrimp ever again!

Ron Paul's not the hero America needs, but the hero America deserves!
