    What happens when food stamps are a day late?

    You made a blanket statement that you knew wasn't true. Don't you think you'd have better luck getting people to agree with you if you just stuck to the truth and didn't exaggerate? You won't get me to agree on this issue, regardless. I'm sorry but I can't hate someone just because they're...

    What happens when food stamps are a day late?

    First you wrote: Now you write: So you're admitting what you originally wrote wasn't true and you knew when you wrote it it wasn't true. That's a start.

    If you seriously believe that to be true I would suggest you see your doctor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delusion

    What happens when food stamps are a day late?

    You do realize that foster care parents are paid monthly for every child they take in, right? There are many people who live solely on the income they receive from being foster parents and many of them treat it like a business spending as little as possible to feed and cloth the children in...

    What happens when food stamps are a day late?

    Absolutley. I'd much rather the children of people on welfare and food stamps find a way to amuse themselves rather than sitting at home playing with toys or an Xbox. I can't imagine anything possibly going wrong with your plan.

    What happens when food stamps are a day late?

    So much anger at poor people. So many of the posts suggest jealousy but why would anyone be jealous of being poor? As far as the people in the video, I know people who get food stamps and at the end of the month their pantry, refrigerator, and freezer are empty. I don't mean empty like the...

    Civilization 5

    Check the op again, this thread was about buying Civ 5 at a discount.

    Civilization 5

    Years later is overstating it, but yes that's exactly what I mean. I paid $50 plus tax for Civ 4 on release, than $20 or $30 for Warlords and $30 for Beyond the Sword. I also bought a used copy of Civ 4 as a gift for my nephew later when the price had gone down. I would have gotten him...

    Civilization 5

    By waiting and buying it when the complete version can be purchased cheaply. Even though I already owned the boxed version of Civ 4 and the expansions I actually purchased the Civ 4 Complete package again on Steam just to get the updated version of Colonization. It only cost me $10. That's...

    Civilization 5

    You're entitled to your opinion, and I'm entitled to mine. Civ 4 cost over $100 for the complete version if you purchased the game and patchs on release. You're fine with that, I'm not. If you're willing to pay for Civ 5 and all the patchs go ahead. I'll wait until the game is finished and...

    Civilization 5

    I haven't purchased Civ 5 yet, and I won't until they offer Civ 5 Complete and it's reached a reasonable price. I've learned my lesson after Civ 3 and Civ 4 where they sold partial, incomplete games for full price and than sold the patchs with small rule chages and more civs for $30 a pop...

    Dungeon Keeper 2, Wing Commander 1 & 2 now available at GoG

    a) yes, but I was thinking on Steam I just installed and played without having to make any adjustments. b) yes, I was aware of that, but it installed and worked well and I was very happy about that. I'm rather sad now, though. After talking about it I decided it would be fun to play some...

    Dungeon Keeper 2, Wing Commander 1 & 2 now available at GoG

    I might look into that. I've got over a hundred old DOS games I used to play on an old laptop but it stopped working quite a while ago. It would be nice to get them installed and working on my main computer.

    Dungeon Keeper 2, Wing Commander 1 & 2 now available at GoG

    I made one purchase from GOG when they were first getting started, I bought the Redneck Rampage collection. I was really looking forward to finally being able to play the game at a resolution higher than 640x480. That never happened because the game wasn't properly configured with DOSbox...

    do people thrown in jail pay for their stay?

    I'm currently working on a website (up and running soon my health permitting) which will provide evidence of how the juvenile justice system is being used in just that way. The profit isn't just in housing juveniles in correctional facilities but in all of the other services that can be billed...

    Obama - "undocumented", law-abiding immigrants will not be deported

    I've been living on very little income for a long time now which has required me to live in less desireable neighborhoods from time to time. The poor here in Florida all have picture IDs and if someone becomes poor or unemployed they get a picture ID very quickly if they don't already have one...

    Obama - "undocumented", law-abiding immigrants will not be deported

    Does this mean undocumented workers are going to be registered and required to pay taxes or are they just going to release them?

    do people thrown in jail pay for their stay?

    Actually yes, in some areas they charge prisoners a per diem which is collected while they are in jail if they can afford it and if not after they leave jail while on probation. I believe that the Crow Wing County jail in Minnesota even requires anyone on probation to return to jail if they...

    Humble Indie Bundle 3 is here!

    My mistake, I didn't click the right button when looking to get a Steam key for Bundle 2. It's really hard moving the mouse cursor over the correct on screen button and than having to click the mouse all at the same time. Very confusing.

    Humble Indie Bundle 3 is here!

    Regarding the Humble Bumble 2 addition, I looked to see if they added those to my Steam account like the other game they added and they didn't. I went to the Humble Bundle 3 website and see that you have to pay more than the average, but I did when I purchased the Bundle. So I went to my...

    Humble Indie Bundle 3 is here!

    I had gotten an e-mail but hadn't purchased yet. Was thinking I would, but when I looked at it I had missed that it was redeemable on Steam. That's all I needed, even though I already had two of those games on Steam. I was already thinking about buying Cogs which is on sale on Steam right...

    What if it was the whitey's fault all the time when crimes are done by minorities?

    Your thread title is misleading. From what I understand from the article the law will give special protection to minorites, not blame the majority for crimes committed by minorites. As far as someday it will happen to us, that day came and went more than 40 years ago. There have been a few...

    2011 Steam Summer Sale:DEAD!

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but if a game isn't a daily deal and is currently on sale it will remain on sale for that price for the entire sale unless it becomes a daily deal and sells for less, right? I love Steam sales, unless it's something I really want I make myself wait until I can get...

    I Need a Steam Game Suggestion for My Father

    He has Toki Tori, I think that might have been in a package of several games. I got him to add me as a friend on Steam so I can see what he has played and Toki Tori has been less than one hour.

    Oh, and a question about Bejeweled to anyone who has played them. If that is what I end up getting him should I get him the original or 2 or 3?

    I Need a Steam Game Suggestion for My Father

    He has Luxor 2, but didn't get into it. I gave him civilization III complete and several other games just to see what would interest him. If it isn't as simple as point and click, one level after the next, he just doesn't seem to be interested. He also doesn't like games that move to fast...

    I Need a Steam Game Suggestion for My Father

    I think he has World of Goo. I gave him an Indie Pack, but it doesn't show which games were included on my purchase history page so I don't know which other games were included. Bejeweled looks like the kind of game he will play for hours at a time. I think I'll wait and see if they have a...

    I Need a Steam Game Suggestion for My Father

    I've purchased both Peggle games and both Zuma games on Steam for my father. He loves them, he's got around 1,000 hours in on the original Zuma alone. I want to get him another game on Steam for Father's Day but I don't know what to get him. I would appreciate any suggestions of games that...

    STALKER: An exercise in masochism?

    I'm not going to bother going over all the gripes I've seen on this thread, but I will point out one thing. To the darkness gripe, yes, you are playing a different game. I first played SoC on a Dell 2405fpw and while it could be hard to make things out at night if there wasn't any moonlight...

    Great Ideas for games, what's yours

    Single player, post apocalyptic (plague maybe), free roaming, FPS RPG game. No mutants, or zombies, or any crap like that. Winning simply means surviving to the end of the game. Progress would be through zones or large areas like small towns or even small cites. Realistic, impassible...

    Nixon made legal

    If Obama and the people he has surrounded himself with aren't progressives what are they? When I think of Libertarians I think of John Stossel. He seems to make sense, it sounds about right, but after listening to him for a while I get the impression he might be a little nuts.

    General Comment: Gaming in 1080p on the big screen is such a joy...

    I'm using a 37" Vizio 1080p TV as my computer monitor. I really wanted a 40" but I just couldn't fit one on my computer desk and still keep my DirecTV box in the cubby hole in the hutch over the TV. I think it works just fine for browsing the internet or working in MS Office. I've got a...
