RFG was lame. Just going to site after site and destroying the same shit. Would have been way better if it had remotely been anything close to as good as GTA.
And what was it those yoyos on KS thought they could get the IP for? 50k? Lulz!

Well they had them on camera and it didn't stop shit, did it? In fact I'd wager it's never stopped any crime. All it's goof for is finding the criminals after the fact and that doesn't seem a certainty either. So really it's a waste of tax dollars that allows obese rent-a-cops to sit around and watch people pick their noses and scratch their asses in public.

I don't text or even really chat on my cell. It's really just there for work and emergencies and I pay $12 for 60 mins per month. Considering I use my phone maybe 10 mins per month it's still a waste.

That you continue to pretend democrats don't get their share of lobbying is comical.
Guess you missed the part where it said....
"Exxon’s federal campaign contributions totaled $2.77 million for the 2012 cycle, sending 89 percent to Republicans."
That's entirely indicative of ALL lobbying by the elites. It's all right there in black and white and you're still not grasping it, huh? Wow. Just boggles the mind.

Enh,. I played DI for a few days and got bored of it. It's still on my desktop so I guess I'll take another stab at it one of these days. Then again, I've never actually played a zombie game I really like. And I'm really not down with them in film and television either.

Here's what the GOP does for the elites versus the working stiffs....
Exxon/Chevron's record profits
While 2012 might not be a banner year for Big Oil profits, it wasn’t a bad one either. With just BP left to announce 2012 earnings, Big Oil earned well over $100 billion in profits last year, while the companies benefit from continued taxpayer subsidies. Average gas prices also hit a record high last year, showing how a drilling boom may help oil companies’ profit margins, but not consumers’ wallets.
ExxonMobil — now the most valuable company in the world, passing Apple — earned $45 billion profit in 2012, a 9 percent jump over 2011. Meanwhile, Chevron earned $26.2 billion for the year. In the final three months of the year, the companies earned $9.95 billion and $7.2 billion respectively.
Here are the highlights of how Exxon and Chevron spend their earnings:
ExxonMobil
Exxon received $600 million annual tax breaks. In 2011, Exxon paid just 13 percent in taxes. The company paid no taxes to the U.S. federal government in 2009, despite 45.2 billion record profits. It paid $15 billion in taxes, but none in federal income tax.
Exxon’s oil production was down 6 percent from 2011.
In fourth quarter, Exxon bought back $5.3 billion of its stock, which enriches the largest shareholders and executives of the company.
Exxon’s federal campaign contributions totaled $2.77 million for the 2012 cycle, sending 89 percent to Republicans.
The company spent $12.97 million lobbying in 2012 to protect low tax rates and block pollution controls and safeguards for public health.
Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson received $24.7 million total compensation.
Exxon is moving ahead with a project to develop the tar sands in Canada.
Chevron:
In October, Chevron made the single-largest corporate donation in history. Chevron dropped $2.5 million with the Congressional Leadership Fund super PAC to elect House Republicans.
The bulk of Chevron’s federal contributions came from the super PAC donation, for a total of $3.87 million for the 2012 cycle. 85 percent went to Republicans.
Chevron spent $9.55 million lobbying Congress in 2012, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
Chevron paid 19 percent U.S. taxes last year (half of the top corporate tax rate of 35 percent), and received an estimated $700 million in annual tax breaks last year.
Chevron was fined $1 million for a refinery fire that sent 15,000 Richmond, California residents to the hospital. Though the company faces $10 million in medical expenses, Chevron earns it back in a couple of hours.
With Royal Dutch Shell and ConocoPhillips reporting $35 billion in combined profit in 2012, BP is the last company left to announce its profits for the year. |

Well that all depends on the field of view. Public property than no. Private property, then yes, it is spying. Regardless, just because you're in public it doesn't mean you're not entitled to privacy and personal space.

Yes, the market supports prices being through the roof and athletes being paid extreme salaries.
Much like the market supports the goods you buy being manufactured in China and the US-based CEOs being paid extreme salaries.
Well a big contributor to our manufacturing base moving to China is, imo, due to Fed (reserve) policy and our Federal debt. The Chinese and many other countries own a huge amount of our debt. Yes, it's a market force, but it's centrally planned and managed. So this isn't free-market economics at work in this case. It's anti free-market economics at work.
8%. China has 8% of our debt.
Your analysis of the cause is incorrect.
Try 26% of our debt is owed to China, it's far higher than 8% not sure who's ass you're pulling that number out of.
You're wrong - as usual - 8% is the correct number. Total foreign ownership of US debt is 46%.

No, it puts the product into your head in a negative way so you're less inclined to want one. Wtf do a bunch of breakdancing 20 somthings with bad clothes and hair have to do with a device that applies to me and my life? Zero. Less than zero actually. I'd be fucking embarrassed to be associated with said product after that. I can just see people seeing it and then asking you if youu have to breakdance in order to use it. There is bad publicity.
Come off it. I'm sure people said the same thing about the commercials that made the iPod a hit.
What's that? That was 10 years ago? For a product with less productivity? Don't tell anyone in Redmond!
And do I own an iPod or any other Apple related shite? No. Do I hate Apple for myriad reasons? Yes.

Actually, the sports athletes and Hollywood stars making millions makes more sense. Many (most?) go to sporting events and movies because of those people. There isn't a single product I've bought because of a CEO.
Apple would disagree with you. I buy - or don't - plenty of products based on who runs the company because their views - political and otherwise - affect both the product and myself in the world. Then again I've never been into the cult of personality and could care less about sports and other celebrities. In fact that sort of idol worship makes me throw up in my mouth a little when I think about it.
