Personally, from what I've heard of this guy and seen on his Youtube channel, I don't think his beliefs can be attributed to any single idealogy or political leaning. To me, he sounds like an anarchist or some kind of ultra-loony libertarian.

I do think, however, that it was only a matter of time until something like this happened. The American political climate, both left and right, has been continually devolving into hateful rhetoric and hyperbole that prides ignorance and promotes an "us vs. them" atmosphere. It's pure poison, and it needs to stop.

This. On his myspace page, he listed Mein Kampf and The Communist Manifesto as well as Amimal Farm as among his favorite works. Either left or right, all these books oppose the government or are anti-authoritarian. Almost like a Timothy McVeigh if you ask me.

So are you saying everybody on the right is a loony? I think thats a pretty bold statement to make.

Your right. I don't really care about any of the politicians in Washington they are pretty much all assholes. It is sad that a kid was shot by this prick and like I said before I hope he fries for it.

Or, rather, gave the police the authority to interrogate you based on race.


Maybe it did, maybe it didn't. I dont have a problem with people coming here to:
go to school
get a job
buy a house and provide a better way of life for their family
and a lot of other legitimate reasons.

I do have a problem with peolpe comming here:
to sell drugs
to mooch off of the The Government's incentive programs to do nothing

to work here doing any job while not paying any taxes at all.

I have no problem with that law and would like to see it spread to more states.

Illegals immigrants give other legitimate immigrants a bad name.
If you want to be here so bad just go about it the legal route cause not doing so just gives the impression that your here to do illegal things any way.

No, its about a belief that have been destroyed by logic and money.

On-topic: Like I typed before, why would a normal average american come and shoot a Congresswoman. A person that deals with the decisions of the people from Congress? Why was there no security?! No bodyguards? How can this so easily happen in daylight? If someone can seriously get close and shoot someone in the face while being in charge of Congress, I will hate to see how many riots will happen afterwards.

There was a political rally in Washington DC last year about Bringing Hope and/or Fear by Robert Colbert. Nothing happened on that day and there was a massive amount of people to blend in with! No shootings has happen, no roiting at all. Yet we enter in 2011, get this a news about someone shooting a government official along six others. What the hell does this mean?!

I am left-wing. Personally I find both Republicans and Democrats to be fairly conservative, on Canada's spectrum; and the spectrum of much of the rest of the world, as well.

Regardless, I don't think this shooter's views belong entirely to either side. He's a mix of the worst of both sides, and then some truly whackjob BS piled on top for good measure. The fact that both sides of the aisle are now scrambling to pin responsibilty for this tragedy on the other side`s nutjobs before the bodies are even cold is incredibly telling... telling of the fact that politics in America needs a serious overhaul. It`s all about blaming the other side and making them look bad, instead of working to find solutions to the real problems that ordinary people face in their lives. It`s pathetic.

Sorry, but if you are going to bastardise a language that is useful purely because it ignores a lot of the cruff in others shouldn't you say "Congressperson" instead of "Congresswomen" for the pointless PC?

Either way though this is terrible. It should have been up to her constituents IF they felt the need. A new protected right in Human Rights law maybe?

yuyuyup have a read, it's just sickening what poisoned politics does to a nation. I wasn't going to point this out, but just in case you want to try to argue with Hanafuda that it isn't relevent.

there has been some more news, according to the new york daily news the man was a occultist.

also, it would seem Bill Ayers has struck again.. through the high school system Jared Lee Loughner attended.

basically the group Small Schools Workshop is run a by former top communist activist who is an associate of Ayers and
Obama provided the group with funds in the 1990s when he worked at an education reform group alongside Ayers.
want to dig more? read here.

if this post stay's alive, I will post more news as it happens.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
