- Go. It will. -- nm - volnelk Jan 18, 07:34 1

- And you are getting to go to *Amsterdam* for a wedding. i have to go to fucking Pittsburgh. -- nm - ty97 Jan 18, 07:24 2
  - I am going to Jamaica for one in March! (also better than Pittsburgh.) -- nm - Andie Jan 18, 07:27 1
    - I get to go about 3 blocks for mine. But then I get to go to Hawaii, so it's all good. -- nm - volnelk Jan 18, 07:39
- When is your wedding going to be? -- nm - Bacon Jan 18, 07:24

        The good thing about being EXP is you can refund the award ticket for no fee/penalty if the $ price becomes reasonable. -- nm - ty97 Jan 18, 07:37
the BBC is now reporting that 650 hostages have been freed, and around 60 are still held. Damn, that's a crowd. -- (link) - loosilu Jan 18, 07:20 20
- ST is geopolitically smarter: Is this militant/terrorist issue relegated to North Africa (Algeria, Mali, Libya, etc)? - ty97 Jan 18, 07:22 19
  - I know there are still some issues in Angola, but other than that I'm not too sure. -- nm - mafic Jan 18, 07:27
  - From my limited African knowledge it seems like central africa have their own anarchistic issues. -- nm - Ender Jan 18, 07:24 15
    - yes, Central Africa is dirt poor and have their own significant issues. The North Africa stuff reaches out more to other places. -- nm - loosilu Jan 18, 07:26 14
      - Thanks. I'm thinking on-the-ground safety for Westerners - ty97 Jan 18, 07:27 13
        
        Central is dangerous because it is the third world, and is home to many scary anarchist and rebel movements. Congo is horrible right now. North Africa - loosilu Jan 18, 07:31
        
        I know quite a few people who work/have worked there. general consensus is the oil countries are the most dangerous, and so much need to worry about - mafic Jan 18, 07:29 11
        
        again it depends. The parts of Nigeria where the oil fields are = very dangerous. -- nm - loosilu Jan 18, 07:31 7
        
        which is kind of why I said oil countries - most dangerous. -- nm - mafic Jan 18, 07:34
        
        Which is what he said...... -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 18, 07:33 5
        
        well, it can vary between the countries. And Algeria is more of a gas country. -- nm - loosilu Jan 18, 07:34 4
        
        hydrocarbon countries, if you prefer. -- nm - mafic Jan 18, 07:36
        
        You're right, but as he said, and you confirmed while being argumentative, where there's oil, there's higher risk - Will Hunting Jan 18, 07:35 1
        
        I'm being argumentative because there are three things: Oil, drug trafficking, and Al Qaida." - loosilu Jan 18, 07:37
        
        WITHIN. sorry. - loosilu Jan 18, 07:34
        
        "Why would anyone want to kidnap *you*?" -- nm - Mallory Archer Jan 18, 07:31 1
        
        AQ will happily kidnap anyone from the west for ransom. -- nm - loosilu Jan 18, 07:32
        
        that should be "not so much need" -- nm - mafic Jan 18, 07:30
  - hmmmm. From what I understand, it is related to both the Saharan drug trade (which goes to Europe), and AQIM. - loosilu Jan 18, 07:23 1
    - whoops, forgot something important. If they're attacking natural gas facilities, that impacts Europe as well. -- nm - loosilu Jan 18, 07:24
SS age should be increased. MediCare age should be decreased. -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord Jan 18, 07:17 15
- Congress should lose it's pension and healthcare and go on Medicare and Social Securtity at retirement age -- nm - Bacon Jan 18, 07:28 1
  - on the second point, I'm pretty sure congress has the same healthcare options as regular federal employees, which is okay but not as spectacular as - Don Homer Jan 18, 07:31
- And raise the income levels that contribute to SS to above $200k -- nm - Krusty Jan 18, 07:22 3
  - everyone has to contribute. -- nm - Andie Jan 18, 07:26
  - wrong. to all levels of income. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 18, 07:25 1
    - Even better. -- nm - Krusty Jan 18, 07:25
- (to 0) -- nm - Reagen Jan 18, 07:20 6
  - correct. one gold star for you. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 18, 07:25 1
    - *swoon* -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord Jan 18, 07:41
  - Yup. Medicare for everyone! -- nm - Krusty Jan 18, 07:25 1
    - Oops. Stupid phone. -- nm - Krusty Jan 18, 07:25
  - Yup. Medicare for everyone! -- nm - Krusty Jan 18, 07:23
  - *like* -- nm - ty97 Jan 18, 07:20
- SS needs to be reconfigured to be need-based. - ty97 Jan 18, 07:19
- ooo, I like it. -- nm - Epiphany Jan 18, 07:18

- Wasn't our Song Pop phase close enough? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 18, 07:22 1
  - I have never played SongPop -- nm - ty97 Jan 18, 07:29
- Pfm does them all the time. -- nm - David Jan 18, 07:21 1
  - Friday night movie trivia rocks!! -- nm - Beaker Jan 18, 07:24

  - pfm? -- nm - loosilu Jan 18, 07:21
- one word: Diva - Epiphany Jan 18, 07:18 2
  - Diva vs everyone! -- nm - loosilu Jan 18, 07:20
  - I would come in last, there is zero doubt about this, but it would be fun anyway -- nm - ty97 Jan 18, 07:20

    - [deleted]
    - I'm gayer than you. -- nm - loosilu Jan 18, 07:21
    - enh. *hand wavy motion* -- nm - Reagen Jan 18, 07:20
- like with the national computerized handset things? "everyone be at the bar by 8 EST" kind of thing? -- nm - TFox Jan 18, 07:17
- cause there are a bunch of cheaters up in here. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 18, 07:17 1
  - But if we used some on-line trivia game system that gave, say, 10 second to answers, that would quell cheating -- nm - ty97 Jan 18, 07:17

  - No doubt. Odd story though -- nm - ty97 Jan 18, 07:17
REB2Halo4: I havecompleted 196 of the challenges. - Spawn Jan 18, 07:15 11
- See, that makes sense, I was just confused by the 130s that hadn't done challenges. I suppose they've just leveled up all the weapons, etc. -- nm - volnelk Jan 18, 07:22 1
  - I tend to look more at the commendation completion % than challenges nm -- nm - groiny Jan 18, 07:23
- That and you play *all the time* :) -- nm - oblique [223] Jan 18, 07:19 8
  - and all those gimmick game types too. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 18, 07:21 7

      - no grenades, no loadouts, no shields. Gimmick. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 18, 07:38 1
        
        It is more pure, and less gimmick than even slayer. -- nm - Spawn Jan 18, 07:50
      - yeah. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 18, 07:33
