I think it should have been: remove Saddam and his family and followers from power and leave Iraq, but if only it were that simple... now Bush thinks that we need to install a government for them, too.

When we dropped the bombs on Japan, the country was devastated, but to my understanding, accepted the help the US offered. The military was in Japan for seven years until it was stable.

Iraq does not seem to want our help, but they've already become so reliant on the US aid, that it's pretty likely that their economy would fail even more than it has already, they would probably fall into anarchy. However, there's no way to tell whether or not that will happen no matter how long we stay. Eventually, Iraq would eventually fall into the hands of someone like Saddam Hussein or be assimilated by another middle-eastern country such as Iran. It's a no=win situation for everybody...

I think it would have been wiser to focus on the more major threats to the US such as N. Korea and Iran. It'll be all the fault of the Iraq situation if an ICBM comes crashing down on NYC, Chicago, LA, San Francisco, or the DISTRICT OF COLOMBIA...

I think that about rebuilding the US, I'll paraphrase a quote from my favorite TV show--

"We need to evacuate the [country], then we need to burn the [country] to the ground. Then we burn the ashes and throw them into the Ocean. Then we build again from scratch."

Okay, in all seriousness, we probably need to abolish the electoral college and professional politicians, give only congress the right to declare war, and while we're at it we can revamp the tv ratings system and abolish all outdated laws.

The folder was deleted before I uninstalled it. That's the problem.

Ok now no more talking about my computer problems.

I saw it, but I hate to necropost...

I'm sorry, but I forgot to say that you must specify the name of the "Other Program".

Or maybe you mean Other: None in general?

Yeah, but cartridges are a more expensive format. The way I understand it, that's why the industry switched to CDs, despite their lag in comparison. I don't think the price for CD or DVD format should ever get that high.

Also, $50 - 70 USD 8 years ago is probably like $55 - 95 now (allowing for variance because it's just an estimate), unless I'm mistaken.

About PC games:
I got Age of Empires III Gold Edition. The third disk had a smudge the size of Alaska on it straight out of the case. I runned the game after install and it crashed. I then uninstalled it, but it failed to uninstall properly, so I just deleted the folder. However, my computer still had one of the libraries on it. I traded the game in at a gamestop in the next town over (the ruined copy was the last one at the local gamestop), and re-installed it. However, the expansion pack was completely unable to be uninstalled, and therefore, re-installed. I cannot play it on my laptop, so I have to play it on the family computer (which is quite low-end compared to my laptop). I would have just returned it and got a $70 refund were it not for Gamestop's no PC game refunds policy.

$70 I can never recover for a game I played nonstop for a week then forgot I had it.

How do you make a camp in SIMRPGM95? I don't get it and the HTML manual is not very clear. Could someone with some experience with the program clarify?

Like the title says, pick one from the list. If you pick other, tell which one in your response. Tell why it's your favorite, too.

My favorite is VX, because of its easier mapping and eventing, as well as its streamlined code.

I remember when they blocked all of the proxies on my school's server. I remember a boy crying during homeroom.

However, I think they should block stuff at my school. In my homeroom alone, the bandwidth used from running Halo trials on Local Access crashed the school's server.

Two kids got banned from the computers and had to drop out of the technology magnet at our school when they got caught playing Halo after that.

I think if there weren't dumb kids that cry over not being able to play Halo in the middle of the school day on the internet, blocks wouldn't be needed.

I've played all of the Final Fantasies except for 9. My favorite is 8, followed by 6, 10, and 5. 7 is 5th.

The only reason 7 isn't higher is because the story is too unclear. You shouldn't need to play through the game more than twice, read supplemental material, and play three other games to get the whole story. I also hated the suckish translation.

I liked it, but I thought the ending is too surreal. Maybe that's just the way it's supposed to be.

By the way, it takes place about a millenium before the original Crystal Chronicles (Rebena Te Ra is the same distance from the Great Crystal in RoF as Rebena Te Ra and Mount Vellenge in the original).

For XP, you must download the trial from download.com, then buy it for $60 USD.

There is Postality Knights for free, but it is extremely buggy, and does not support most scripts made for the legal version. You'll also have a hard time getting support on most websites if you use it.

Thanks.

@IceWave04
I play games, although I can't stand shooters since I suck at the genre.

@SkyStormKuja
!?!?!?!?
P. S. I like your signature.

@Davideo7 and BennyMD4123
Thanks for the encouragement.

In all seriousness, here's my two cents:

The end of the world would literally mean the destruction of the planet, as in either boom, or ZERO resources.

People are resourceful, and will keep on going no matter what. There was the Ice Age. We survived that. There was the Little Ice Age. We survived that, but Greenland became a frozen wasteland, and Iceland became a nice place.

Trees only filter between 10-20% of air. It's grass and plankton that filter most of the air of greenhouse gasses. Don't pollute the ocean, take care of your lawn, and be careful of what you flush down the toilet, whether you have a septic tank or sewer.

Chuck Norris facts. Cute. If they were true, no one would be around to tell them, though.

Hey, I'm Alec.

I'm in the 10th grade and I play the cello in my sucky high school orchestra (teacher shares the name of an author(I think she was there first)).

I love RPGs, mainly Japanese ones. I found this site looking for Sim RPG Maker 95 and signed up and am now posting (three posts and counting). My favorite games are Fire Emblem 7, Final Fantasy 8, Disgaea, and the first Spyro the Dragon by Insomniac.

I like music from 1600-1800 and 1960-1990. I can't stand rap. My favorite band is Queen and my favorite composer is Vivaldi.

(By the way my middle name is James, and I kill anyone who calls me AJ.)

I think that they shouldn't call release dates too soon.

I remember Square Enix pushed back both Kingdom Hearts II and Final Fantasy XII back quite a bit (one of the release dates for KH2 was on my birthday. It was on my list and everything. Then the release date gets pushed back... again).

Wind Waker's push back was also rediculous. I loved the game, but I waited 2 years for it.

The original four .hack// games were $160 all together.

I think everything is too expensive in the U.S. due to inflation.

5 years ago: $30 for new
Now: $50 for new

New DS games, I think, have an acceptable price.
New Console games are expensive.
New PC games are even more so for some reason.

It seems that the cheaper the system, the cheaper the game.
PS3 at 500 dollars? How can I afford the system AND games?
When I got a Wii, I got the Wii Sports and one game, and that was it. Why? My mother who works in IT could not afford a 400 dollar WII, more than one $40-$50 game, and groceries and gas for the month. My mom spent more money in that month than my dad spent on her wedding ring, which was 3 months salary (in human resources).

That's my two cents.

I think any kind of violent media has an effect on behavior, be it books, TV, video games, or music. I also think parents should keep an eye on their kids' activities.

Video games do de-sensitize people. I really had trouble sympathizing with the friends of a girl in my school corporation, even being called 'cruel' by one of my friends.

I think the blame should go on the parents and the children. A kid drowns trying to find Spongebob. Whose fault is that? Sure as hell isn't Spongebob's. He doesn't exist. What'll they do? Cancel Spongebob and take it off the air? I don't think so. That'll probably be good for society, but it's not happening.

A kid starts a school shooting. Same principle. It's not Master Chief's or Solid Snake's or [insert other character in an M-rated game here]'s fault. They don't exist! It's the fault of the family, the child, and society as a whole. What'll they do? Ban those games? I don't think so. That'll start riots where I live.

The responsibility is not on the video gaming industry, but the rest of society.
