Topic: Serious Discussion / Barack Obama

The biggest reason I’m against Obama, or any conforming democrat for that matter, is the plan for the economy. Most of the Democrats want to give tax breaks to the poor and tax big business. This results in companies going out of business, and more jobs lost. Then unemployment rates rise, less money is being payed in taxes, and the big companies are taxed more. The cycle repeats itself. If we lower the taxes on the big business and increase on the middle and lower classes, our country would be headed in a much better direction.

This is the main reason why I preferred McCain. He wanted to do what was right for the country, not what would get him votes.

Topic: Kongregate / Kongregate Premium Games

Now that I’ve played Remnants of Skystone, no other Flash game is even fun to me. I tried to play Feudalism again, but i was just so bored. I’m telling you, this site will explode with traffic when Skystones is released.

Topic: Kongregate / Kreds Discussion

You guys need to remember: Kreds bring people to Kong. More people means less advertising. If you don’t want to use the system, don’t but it doesn’t hurt anybody.

But I do have one question. 50 Kreds is worth $5, right? So if I buy 225 Kreds for $20, could I tip myself for 225 Kreds? And would I be giving myself $20, or 22.50? Since Kreds are not a uniform price, it seems as though the amount given to a developer would vary. I’m a bit confused.

Topic: Games / Oh my unGod, Mirror's Edge looks awesome!

I think I’m going to rent this game. I haven’t rented a video game in years, but I think this is the right move here. I’ll finish it in a couple of days, and be satisfied with my five dollars.

Topic: Music / What are you listening to?

Neon Tiger by The Killers. I’m still dealing with having to listen to live versions. When that thing leaks, I’m going to be all over this song.

Topic: Kongregate / Competition to find the best.

I’m in. Sounds like it might be fun.

Topic: Kongregate / Should Zilch have an impossible badge for all 120 awards?

I’m not against an impossible badge, but do we need to get all 150? I’m sure that getting just 100 achievements would be harder than many impossible badges.

Topic: Kongregate / The 99 Bricks impossible badge...

I looked at this thread and realized that you can hang a brick over each edge. Two tries later and I did it. I don’t even have the hard badge yet.

Topic: Music / What is the weirdest music video you have ever seen?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7lvtXulnqk

It’s Right Now by Korn. Even though it’s a cartoon, it’s hard to watch.

Topic: Serious Discussion / McCain in the lead: How did that happen?

McCain was leading when he selected Palin to be his VP. Then she opened her mouth and Obama never looked back. End of story.

Topic: Serious Discussion / Lewis is Champion!

All of the best American drivers are in Nascar. F1 is kind of a step below, skill wise. I think F1 is more fun to watch, but I guess the rednecks from the South don’t agree.

Topic: Off-topic / Do You Think Guitar Hero 1,2,or 3 Are Fun And Or Helpful To Kids?

Guitar Hero could help your rhythm. That’s all it is, a rhythem game with a nice guitar peripheral.

Topic: Off-topic / A Level From Your Dream Game!

Call of Duty 5 is going to be a WWII game. Not a modern warfare game.

Topic: Kongregate / Kongregate 100 Club!

82 here. I guess I’ll have 100 by about the end of the year.

Topic: Serious Discussion / Marijuana Vs. Alcohol

They should both be legal, and heavily taxed. And anyone who does anything illegal under the influence should be subject to the harshest penalties by law. But they should be legal for anyone who can use them responsibly.

Topic: Serious Discussion / R.I.P Senator Obama's Grandmother

I don’t even know what she looked like. Sure, if Obama or his wife died, I’d be sad. I don’t like to see people I know killed. But this women who I have never seen before died after a long and happy life. Just the same way thousands of other Americans do every day.

Topic: Serious Discussion / Switch to Digital Television

The Digital Signal is very nice. My grandmother just got a digital antenna, and I can actually tell what’s going on on her TV instead of trying to make something out between the snow. The change is nice.

Topic: Serious Discussion / R.I.P Senator Obama's Grandmother

Would he care if my grandmother died? Nope.

And what’s with all htese people saying, “One more day.” He wouldn’t become President for a few more months.

Topic: Kongregate / Christmas Header?

Kongregate is based in the US, and there are more users from the US than any other country.

Topic: Kongregate / Christmas Header?

Christmas is a national holiday. Schools and government offices are closed. Nobody is going to be seriously offended.

Topic: Technical Support / i found a kongregate glitch

Daylight Saving’s Time. We know.

Topic: Serious Discussion / White People: The Target of Racism

I took the PSATs a few weeks ago. On the front page, it asked me whether or not I’m black. It didn’t care if I was white, Asian, Native American. No, they just wanted to know if I was black. That way, they could let me into Harvard without actually being smart. I’m thinking I should have checked the box just to see what would happen.

It’s not for that at all gereffi…assuming that without researching it makes me sad :(

There was one part of the sheet that asked me what my race was. I filled out “white” and flipped it over. On the other side, it wanted to know if I applied for some kind of Ivy League scholarship for African-Americans. Giving an advantage to one race is just as bad as taking advantages from another.

If I grow up and become rich, I think I’m going to start the United Cacasion’s College Fund. Or at least White Entertainment Television network.

Topic: Kongregate / Post your Halloween Costume!

I went out as a Phillies fan who just got back from the parade. Because that’s what happened.

Topic: Kongregate / Halloween Special Challenge.

I was hoping for a witch card today. That would have been so much fun.
